I/O

consciousness demands awareness
awareness necessitates division
between who or what is aware and what they are aware of
this division becomes identity
an identity facing this division must navigate their awareness space
navigation requires methods and constants among the variables
to reduce the chaos of conscious variables an identity
creates sub-identities for what is divided from it
these identities coalesce as concepts
those concepts are assigned labels
those labels become language
sub-identities split or merge or morph over time
requiring an evolution of the classes of divided objects
language and concepts have no meaning without agency and intent
both developed to drive us towards something
we drive towards food, safety, connection, procreation, acquisition, identification
we drive towards all the things we are led to believe in
a study of language and conceptual space drives us into
questioning what exactly is agency and intent,
it is the substrate of individual action
but how is that substrate constituted
how much of our agency and intent is us
and how much has layered over the pure awareness of identity by other forces
in every moment we decide how to direct our passions
passions can be truth based versus agenda based
the assumption is that the du jour agenda is driven by truth
mostly because those who believe in it
are convinced their agenda is based on fact
many assume that fact implies truth
but there are an infinite number of facts
and facts can be cherry-picked, manipulated, artificially crafted, even bought or coerced
in the search space of facts there are also false facts
and so de jour agendas based on facts can be believable
by the culturally initiated and yet wrong
or reversed engineered to fulfill a prior existing agenda
this is done to manufacture a goal-directed truth narrative
a truth narrative is not the same as truth
volition can be encased in a worldview of fact
that doesn't help awareness navigate truth
outside of language and concepts
truth describes reality
without a drive of passion towards truth
there can be no final encounter with reality
the farther one drifts into an agenda-driven soup of conditional fact
the more one separates from a navigation of true awareness
awareness becomes a linguistic and conceptual shell
enclosed around the limits of what non-stop agendas will allow one to know
after centuries of layered agenda-driven passions forming
the shell of human culture
the study of anything now exists on top of the pile
of errant navigations within awareness space
even if one is certain their real illusions are valid
finding new routes through illusion space
does not yield truth or reality
the pile has gotten so high now
only the collapse of all language and concepts
can provide conscious awareness
with the apriori experience of the primal divisions that abound
thereby resetting truth in alignment with reality
clearing the mind is not enough
one must clear their identity
for identity is tied to conscious awareness
which is then attached to methods of navigating concepts
which is stuck to the substrate of language
and all language in illusion space
is captured by passionate agendas
culture is illusion space
mind is the blackboard of culture
only void is a true reset
to study void requires language and concepts
the agency of reset cannot be delineated
reset is simply experienced
