Learning How to Receive a Larger Sense of Your Self

This article highlights a narrative repeating itself throughout time.

The AGI Builders at Davos Quoted This Movie. They Missed Its Message Completely.

Intelligence isn’t something you build. It’s something you receive.

There is an emptiness within us that we are trying to fill, both individually and societally.

Filling the void can’t be done by building or consuming something to fill it, it’s done through relationships.

Societally it’s about building interpersonal relationships by relating to others as they are.

Individually it’s about building an intrapersonal relationship with yourself by relating to yourself as you are.

This applies to the stereotypical zen quote.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

What most people are misinterpreting and misunderstanding about this quote is that the teacher has always been there, waiting patiently for you to hear it, recognize it, and become aware of it.

This teacher is your larger sense of Self, waiting patiently for you to listen, recognize, and embrace a larger sense of yourself.

Thus getting out of your own way is actually slowing down, listening, and making space for your larger sense of Self to emerge.

In other words, your larger sense of Self is already there, waiting patiently for you. You just need to recognize and become aware of it.

Again this embodies what creativity means to me.

It’s discovering something that’s been there all along but you just weren’t unaware of it until you discovered it and became aware of it.

So you can’t growth and development unless you’re willing to accept and receive a larger sense of your Self that’s already there, waiting patiently to emerge.
