I have started creating a website, BasiaPiechocinska.com , where I will eventually be putting my "Make Sense" - game. The purpose is to learn to focus on what really matters to us, so that we may connect on a deeper, more satisfying and meaningful level. The game is based on unifying and transcending dynamics. There are three parts, each related to a mode of experiencing: Make Sense - Mind , Make Sense - Heart , and Make Sense- Senses . The process in all of the modes is that of first opening up...

In this episode I talk about where the ideas pertaining to Unifying and Transcending Dynamics originate. We can see the pattern that when an empire reaches its phase of affluence is when moral decline starts to set in. Our current empire is in its final phase of chaos and lack of morals and ethics. This makes it reasonable to want to go back to focusing on morals and ethics, and because we quickly need to change things, use will power to put us "back on track". But have we ever been "on track"? ...

Because we are in a meaning crisis, as nicely presented in the Youtube series of John Vervaeke " Awakening from the Meaning Crisis ", we examine the concept of meaning. To find out how we can make life experience more meaningful we start by examining what experience is, and then what "making more meaningful" means. By experience we mean thoughts, feelings/emotions, and perceptions. By making more meaningful we settle on the idea of unification within the three arenas as well as between them. The...

How much of our thinking is conditioned by the historical setting? We have already mentioned how our way of thinking is conditioned by our personal developmental traumas. In episode 6 we talked about the sadness in the schizoid structure. But how much of our intuition and our insights are just reiterations of what has already happened in similar historical settings and not really particular to us? In this episode I take a look at two intuitions that are strong in me. One is that of knowing who w...

As discussed in the previous episode, holding onto knowledge can lead us to identify with it and stop our search for and openness to new information. It can become a self-imposed limit, where we put ourselves in a box that we end up defending and fighting for. Uncertainty provides us with the gift of presence and opens us up to further development. In our current societies we often learn most through challenging and painful experiences. The cycles of life and death assist us in our development b...

I was inspired to talk about knowledge because I remembered an old saying that tells children that knowledge is the key to power. This has, indeed, been the model of our society. We know that power can be problematic but is there any danger associated with knowledge? We look at how a knowledge focused life removes significance from it. We start by talking about how knowledge is about limits and boundaries, and how when focusing on it we easily identify with our specific roles and the content of ...

In this episode we ask if we do not already have a "Butterfly Intuition". By "Butterfly Intuition" I refer to the metaphorical butterfly that we have a chance of turning into personally and as a society and civilisation. It is an intuition that guides us to make all-win choices. We talk about the idea of diversity and based on it we look at how it appears in our current win-lose, competitive dynamics and its role in the all-win system. We talk about how appearance and image is important in our c...

Three Ways of Focusing - Three Different Lives For pedagogical purposes we imagine three different persons. The first lives their lives by focusing on achieving goals. The second has their focus on purpose. And the third one on meaning. We discuss what types of differences arise as a result of this in their world views, in how they connect and interact with others, in how they view science, in their narrations of what is, and in who they believe they are. We also look at where win-lose and win-w...

We start out this episode asking if the effects on people of social online platforms might actually end up a helpful catalyst in the transition from a suicidal society, on the brink of extinction, to something new. We talk about how the effects of the platforms are accentuating separation, disconnection, and fuling adversarial dynamics. Thus, they are bringing light to some underlying problems in societal dynamics. A past solution has been to strengthen authority and impose a top down framework ...

We talk about how the idea of "going deeper" can be used to engage in all-win dynamics, as opposed to win-lose dynamics. We briefly mention that many of our societies have been engaging in competitive dynamics and that this is a dynamics that tends to optimise for a win and thereby incentivise destruction of what may appear to stand in its way, such as other individuals, opponents, ecosystems, etc. An alternative system would be an all-win system that can be likened to a spiral that with each it...

In this episode I talk about some recent experiences I have had of letting go and how they have affected me. I talk about the magical power of the word “if” and how it can allow us to move beyond what was possible. We also discuss how our programs self-perpetuate and how we sometimes can decide what to run. We look at the basics of emotional surfing. Then, we go onto finding the wisest version of ourselves and pay attention to what the wisest voice sounds like. Winnie the Pooh comes up and the i...

In this episode we focus on what may be required in order for us and our society to undergo a metamorphosis into an all-win society. Is it enough for all to learn that we should be acting for the wellbeing of all? What if we all learn this and we all make personal sacrifices to make it all work? Such societies already exist and involve a great deal of suffering. And so, we propose that the key to a working transformation is an actual internal shift that involves us learning about who we are. By ...

I heard Daniel Schmachtenberger talk about the idea of our currently global society going through a metamorphosis. So, I decided to see how far I could take the metaphor. We start by looking at the stages of the maturation of a caterpillar, and then at its metamorphosis into a butterfly, focusing on what drives it. Then, we quickly look at the stages of the empires, recapitulating that we are now at a the final stage of one. We look at what is different about the fall of the current empire, as c...

How much of what we are seeing in the world today seems new to us but is something that the world has already seen over and over again? Did you know that there were women university professors, judges, lawyers 1200 years ago? Did you know that rock-stars were a thing back then? Most of what we are going through now, even the Black Lives Matter types of movements are only to be expected due to the phase that the USA-Empire is in, as it is falling. In this episode we go through the different phase...

Inspired by Bret Weinstein´s idea of engineering a perpetual abundance society we talk about what it would take to create one. Starting out we set the context for where this idea of perpetual abundance comes from in terms of evolutionary biology and it is related to particularly one basic characteristic that seems to be wired into humans. Then, we mention how some technological tools are coming forth, like organisation through autonomy, emergent order system, and wisdom of crowds. We also talk a...

In this episode I present how I see Jordan Peterson´s views on some of the dynamics in society. We talk about why the dynamics of left and right exists, what the extremes lead to, how all this could be tackled through personal responsibility, and about objective facts and metaphorical truths. Then I talk about how the above view relates to how I view some of what I consider the most relevant dynamics. We talk about how what we focus on increases. We discuss how whatever view we start subscribing...

There are two themes in this podcast episode. One is to show what knowing who we are actually does for us. The other is showing how direct focus on what we think we want can lead us astray, and what we can do fix it. We talk about four examples. One is a physical example of what one may think diabetes type two is about and how reating it may seem counterintuitive. I reference the documentary Simply Raw and Gabriel Cousens´ book on reversing diabetes. We talk about Maslow´s hierarchy of needs and...

We talk about an underlying order to all that is, and look at how it is reflected in the illumination process. We go into the two parts of the illumination process and see how the first can be fairly easily understood, whereas the second requires us to move beyond our mind, and therefore also takes us beyond the logical and causal structures of the expressed Universe. By seeing looking at some intricacies with mathematical infinities we propose a way for "understanding" what may be required to a...

Finding out what actually moves you can be profoundly insightful, healing, and even provide you with a meaning and direction in life. As you recall a few situations from your life that moved you and ask what it is about those particular situations that moved you, you will be able to glean a pattern. This is a pattern that is pointing to an often hidden belief that is so terrible that it is guarded by defence mechanisms. The situation that moved you, actually got you to consider the possibility t...

In the 1970's we had Raymond Moody who wrote very interesting books about near-death experiences. Then, we got accounts from people working with persons who were dying, and hospice workers. Now, we also have the material from Peter Fenwick, who started studying the different processes of dying. Based on this, as well as looking at accounts by hypnotherapists that take their subjects beyond their death or birth, we can start paining a picture of what death may be like. There seem to be distinct p...

The method for achieving something may sometimes be quite different from our understanding of the concept one is trying to achieve. Moving towards fearlessness is not necessarily best achieved by going through ones fears. There is actually another way that can sometimes be more efficient and very helpful. By expanding our perspective we may automatically remove layers of fear. And we can use fear and other triggers to show us where there is room for expansion, so that we can become more free. We...

Since we recently asked if it is good to be good, and found that it is, we now continue and find that being instructed to be good is a trap. It leads us to the belief that our worth is related to our performance in this world. It also leads us to a life with guilt. We quickly take a closer look at guilt is and how it serves us. Then we ask if it indeed is true that our worth is related to our performance. To answer this we must first know who we are. And so, we review who we truly are. To see ho...

Is it possible that society is currently moving in the "right" direction? Despite all the problems that we are facing - ranging from financial, health, to political - we just might be on the right track. In this episode we tie together the two previous episodes, on freedom and a new type of organisation. We look at how what individuals in society consider to be freedom is changing. We look at how ideals are changing. And we ask if maybe the reason new generations may look like they are not well ...

Since we are currently in a time when our freedoms are seemingly being taken away it may be interesting to talk about freedom. What is freedom? Are we free? Can we become free? We start by talking about the common association of freedom with the freedom to do what we want. We talk about what seems to be involved when the have freedoms "taken away" from us. We look at how freedoms are taken through overt violence, in non overt ways, and in different manipulative ways. We briefly talk about how go...

I posed the question: "If you could ask one or two questions about life or the world in general, what would you ask? What would you really like to know?" And in this episode I tell you what people said. And we end up going into two topics. One has to do with ageing, if it is necessary, and what it may be good for...yes "good for". We discuss creatures who live among us that do not age. And then we talk about why there are so many apparently destructive structures in our societies. Why are most p...

In this episode I reveal to you a secret question I had when I was growing up. I never dared to ask anyone, but I secretly wondered if leading a moral life is a good thing. And so, in this episode we discuss just that. Exactly why is it good for you to lead a moral life? We also talk about the major pitfall, that most of us fall into at some point at least, where we lead a moral life by creating internal violence...which sort of goes against the idea of leading a non-violent life. We also talk a...

Today we discuss questions like: What is the underlying dynamics of our Universe? How does multiplicity spring forth from an Indivisible Ultimate reality? Why is there something rather than nothing? Does it make sense to talk about the Ultimate if it is not describable? We talk about how Niels Bohr, a physicist, got the physics community onboard to abandon ontology because he intuited an underlying "unanalyzable" wholeness. Then we look at how David Bohm decided to look at the idea of wholeness ...

Searching for something is different from finding it. This is true for logical problems, math problems, relationships, the search for happiness, or even the search for God. Here we talk about what may be tripping you up when you are looking for something, desiring something, but not getting it. This technique also works for interactions with others. In fact, we mention Chris Voss, a hostage negotiator, who teaches this technique to negotiators. And we see how it is also part of Marshall Rosenber...

I was inspired to think about aliveness. When do I feel most alive? Is there anything I do that makes me feel alive? Aliveness arises in me whenever I am able to feel present. And presence is connected to tapping into the infinite. We can tap into the infinite through our senses and I talk about some ways that work for me. I also talk about the masculine and feminin energy and how they are related to creating an experience of being fully alive. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions...

In this episode we talk about defence narratives, how we justify things to ourselves so that we may go on doing certain things or living with certain choices. We take a look at two examples, both related to slavery. One is the hero narrative and the other is the victim narrative. One is a historical narrative, the other is a current narrative. The historical narrative is taken from Barbra Freese´s conversation with Joe Rogan about slavery. You can listen to it here https://youtu.be/cP0D2_jhqPU ....
