I have taken so many notes from this sweeping chapter that I think I should’ve just copied the entire chapter! Beginning with a wholeness that includes brokenness, and ending with a living universe “in a cyclical process of interaction between the implicit and the explicit.”
Your synchronosophy shines with a truth so necessary for humanity’s next evolution and healing. Is this the end of your book? If so, I need to now go back to the beginning and start again.
Oh no! This is only the end of part II "The Heartwood", where I am explaining the most fundamental principles which provide the soil, or biotope for Synchronosophy. There will be 3 more parts, moving gradually from origins to theory towards practice.
What I am trying to achieve with this format is to make it as accessible and transparent as possible so anyone can pick up the principles and make them their own.
Thank you so much! 💕🙏 I believe so too. Evolution and healing are interdependent.
Wonderful and deeply contagious writing here Veronika. Thank you. It takes me to a place I somehow know but cannot explain. A place where I bit into the fruit of knowledge and surrendered to the chaos that swallowed me home. The holorhythm still swims through my veins. I am awaiting eagerly the next piece/part of this story of remembrance. Your gift of words found you in Tunisia. Bless those words that found you then and the ones you shine a cascade of light with today 🙏❤️
This wondrousness extends week after week. What I found especially interesting is (referring back to a previous post) how initial starting conditions set the deep meme/scene/story which is rarely questioned and on which whole civilisations are built -- and eventually fall.
Is all of life about redemption from a terrible sin (making one's whole life be about getting from minus, to nought, the starting grid) ... ?
... or is life about a quest for growth in consciousness, kick-started by a sink-or-swim biting off more than one could chew initially, but which opens doors (from nought to infinity), joining in with a cosmic adventure of implicate-order unfoldment?
Whichever one believes in, it involves two very different ways of approaching life.
Yes. Beautifully expressed direct experience Veronika. I, too, can relate to all that you shared as I had a similar experience .... And I AM STILL HERE TOO. Thank you.
Hmmmm... I may not understand this properly .. but ... isn't living in the solution the answer??!! Of course I can't do that unless i ask the questions ... but living in the question isn't the answer either ...
I think what Rilke means by 'living the question' is something like 'holding the question while NOT looking for a quick answer or solution'.
For example, before I received the information about my map of human Consciousness ~ shared in Chapter 9 https://veronikabondsynchronosophy.substack.com/p/the-heartwood-of-synchronosophy-part-2f5 ~ I was holding 2 questions. The solutions were not immediately obvious to me, in my understanding at the time. By 'living into the questions' the solution presented itself in an unexpected way, even in a new type of language, via inspiration.
If you take your question "What are the lessons we are supposed to learn?" You might find it a little challenging to receive a clear answer, because lessons 'we' have to learn are different for everyone.
If on the other hand you ask "What are the lessons I am supposed to learn?" answers will start coming to you instantly (that's my prediction from experience). They may come in different forms. And you still have to interpret those answers yourself. But life is talking to us all the time.
Now that I don't understand... how can objectivety lead to denial? Staying calm or calming down before responding is imperative. Authenticity comes from not being overtaken by anger ( or other emotions ), old behaviors or ego, those are the things that usually compromise the real me.
The object is to have good relations without co- dependency. Honest conversation, getting through conflict that works for both.
Compromise without compromising myself.
Setting boundaries with people that expect me to compromise myself, always in a calm and respectful way.
Staying calm, reasonable and objective are the key.... that is done after I take care of my unruly ocean.
Authenticiy is not being compromised by calmness. 🌸🦋
In another paradigm ~ proven through quantum physics ~ objectivity doesn't exist. Rationality is sold as 'objectivity' while suppressing emotions, which are usually authentic (unless used with manipulative intent).
It's a different paradigm from the one you are describing. As long as that works for you, go with it 🧡🙏
irrational behavior is not something I try to deal with.. at least not for long.. lol
It also depends on the relation.. is it an intimate one or a online political conversation.
The old "If I'm ok, you're ok" thing.
I believe the authentic soul/ self is truly hard to find and keep.
Staying calm, finding that balance is the objective.
yes, denial is not a river in Egypt!!
LOL
... too many people identify themselves with all kinds of topics and issues, politics for one.. all fear driven .. it becomes personal and then emotional... a rational/ sane mind realises that it is not a personal issue, will not get all fired up and get into futile, never ending and often abusive conversations. Especially online.
A healthy mind is not co- dependent, does not compromise itself, it sets boundaries.
And of course, unless I have a clear sense of self and what I will allow, to not compromise myself, I cannot set these boundaries.
Yes! Exactly. When holding a question, the mind is both open and looking for an answer. The Q works like a magnetic force to attract the A while being open to genuinely learning something new. 🤔💭
And of course we are emotionally invested. How can we not be? It's our life after all. So we and our questions and emotions are a kind of 'entangled mess' and one of our life tasks is (in my understanding) to disentangle it all as best we can. 🫶
Yes, that's the real trick, to stay calm no matter what. To stay objective and reasonable.
Then there are triggers from past experiences, possibly traumatic situaions and old messages that we often bring with us into the situation, now that is a real entanglement!!! LOL
The past can be such a prison, stuck in old behaviors and patterns, sometimes survival mechanisms, is a serious detriment to all we encounter today.
You've got your finger right on the pulse there. The entanglement/ prison of the past is always related to trauma from the past. This trauma-survival-mechanism-mess produces a layer which buries unique dormant potential.
The triggers which happen in everyday life ~ and they happen to every one ~ are messages, not from the past, but from the 'timeless present'. They are meant to help us uncover our dormant potential.
Staying calm, objective and reasonable is a lovely idea. But not necessarily the best strategy, because it can lead you away from yourself, into self-denial.
The real trick is to stay authentic. Knowing that objectivity doesn't really exist, to find your way to establish a really good connection with your subjectivity.
The inner life of humans is not always a Zen garden. More often than not it's a sea with ebbs and tides and turbulences. Inner balance, calm and disentanglement can only come through surfing the inner ocean. 🏄 💕
David Bohm is an interesting theoretical physicist whose views on the quantum theory departed from the Bohr Model. Bohm also thought that Art & Science should not have been divided into two separate spheres of knowledge, but merged, as it was before the mechanistic model took hold.
This Cartesian Model, still in use, has nevertheless reached its limits. Humans are not machines, and the mind is not the brain. This is established.
Another interesting note. Erich Fromm wrote in an essay I read long ago, perhaps it was 30 years, but I still remember it, that Adam & Eve had to disobey, had to rebel, in order for humans to be free. That without disobeying the injunction, there would have not been the beginning of humanity.
This is how Fromm, the noted humanist saw the myth. I tend to agree. And finally your story of what took place in Tunisia does speak of some unity of consciousness. So, we are back to what Bohm grappled with.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and in depth comment Perry. Yes! That's why I love Bohm!! And he was right all along, of course... And Erich Fromm, another one of my 'heroes'. Of course. If this creator god really hadn't wanted those first humans not to eat from that tree, He wouldn't have put it there in the first place. 💕🙏

Oh yay! I was hoping it wasn’t the end!!!!
Sorry, my titles were confusing! I've now updated the titles in all 12 chapters. Thank you for bringing this to my attention ❣️❣️❣️
Btw I appreciate constructive critique! If you notice any inconsistencies, I'd love to know them. Honestly!!
And I'm so glad you're enjoying my writing so much. Finding a kindred spirit through my work is the best 💖🙏

the gift of words that found me. Astonishing how it can come in such different ways. I never made the link between the too...

Wonderful write again. 💜
Thank you so much 💖🙏
the cosmic adventure of holorhythmic unfoldment...
Yes. Beautifully expressed direct experience Veronika. I, too, can relate to all that you shared as I had a similar experience .... And I AM STILL HERE TOO. Thank you.
Thank you 💕🙏
Wow, well done! To our brave and miraculous journeys 🥂
... free will.. do our choices seal our fate?
"We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
What are the lessons we are supposed to learn?
Cause and consequence? Good begets good?
Love and forgiveness?
Why do we have a soul?
good questions.
"Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” Rainer Maria Rilke
Hmmmm... I may not understand this properly .. but ... isn't living in the solution the answer??!! Of course I can't do that unless i ask the questions ... but living in the question isn't the answer either ...
It is possible that im overthinking this ... LOL

Fear is the mind killer. :)
I see! Questions as a way of focus and awareness!!! Thank you!
Yes. Hard to recognize sometimes, especially when we're "in" it and emotionally invested.. that usually messes everything up! Hahahaha
They show up with different faces and circumstances.
And usually we learn in hindsight. If we have the willingness to listen.... Thoughtfulness and mindfulness.
🙌🌸
