I love you. It's a privileged to be invited to witness and participate in your experience.
These wonderings are central to our existence. How to be and do in the world, when you're aware of how you're being experienced, and then inevitably start to perform in dialogue with the story that this perception suggests. Quantum decoherence: the wave function of unstructured potential collapses the moment it's measured (i.e. narrated). Suddenly we're no longer in the unfolding; we're in a self-aware dramatization of the unfolding. Framing can quickly foreclose emergence. What inside of you is real, true, comes from the inside? Are we fundamentally relationally-embedded, can only ever be in conversation with something? Does that foreclose authenticity?
There are no answers. We grapple as best we can. Yours is beautiful.
Where would we be without doubt? I doubt it would be as we intended!
And what to do with all this doubt? Find out if it’s true or not… then we will know from experience, but still it is best not discard the doubter in us — even while tossing aside the doubters outside.
Doubt can be framed as curiosity mixed with concern. Concerns for the how and curiosities as to the why.
Sounds like you, Akemi, have a conscious mind that is choosing to grapple — vs hiding out in the false-knowing type of narrative that is more like arrogance than confidence.
Now I’m doubting myself for sounding preachy, but the real truth is that I’ve enjoyed word-playing with my doubt and hope you did too 🙌🏼
Self doubt is no joke.
It’s been a constant battle for me all my life.
You’re doing great! ✊🏽💀
Thank you!! It somehow feels lighter when I share it, and hear comments like yours (:

Yesss I love your word play Adam :D And this framing of doubt. Thank you for the wisdom, always.
