Vaguebooking for a few days, but just here to note: I'm feeling such a profound peace and lightness. Free of obligation, of old identities, of socialized constraints. Full of space, of joy, of playful excitement, of anticipation.

Some days you check every task off your list. Some days nothing is on the list. Every day, something is experienced. Some days you feel inspired and write of saving the future. Some days you just ramble to hear your own voice a bit. Every day, you think and communicate.

Today's version of my continuing refinements of a motivating vision. Desires/goals for an intentional social group: * being who we want to be (I) * relating and belonging more fully (we) * doing valuable work (it) * creating better systems/society for our descendants (its) States corresponding to achieving those: * growing

Status: self-psychologizing, interesting mostly for the process Yesterday I was doing some Circling [http://circlingwizardry.com/what-is-circling/], which is like a blend of discussion and meditation, with random trained folks online. I was attuned to being present, and watching out for the filtering-emotional-expression-through-conscious-choice [https://www.bakejam.com/of-me-perception-reflections/] that I

I don't know of a word that's the simple mirror of "self-reflection", but I mean perceptions of me by others, as shared by them - which I was privileged to hear today, as well as last month, both in an Authentic Relating context. To

How big would these protests be, without the Covid-19 threat? Would they be 2x, 5x larger without epidemiological caution holding folks back? Or maybe this wouldn't have exploded in the same way, without the widespread disruption from the virus multiplying the sense of fundamental wrongness across the nation?

Feeling sad, frustrated, conflicted.

Spiritual development and psychological development: engaging with the dimensional contrast of the terms waking up and growing up [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0XnO-c-iAA] as used by Ken Wilbur there. Trying to record as I just heard them defined: * waking up as the spiritual enlightenment of mystics and gurus,

Today I attended "Converting Moloch from Sith to Jedi w/ Daniel Schmachtenberger" (who doesn't appear to be on Twitter but blogs at https://civilizationemerging.com/) via The Stoa [https://www.thestoa.ca/], which should show up as a video here [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfI5jzpoUbwP4wkmQ6ZNqbA]

The first group of participants will also be builders, passionate people with similar visions, eager to craft a better way. The experience needs to be rewarding, but doesn't need to be pre-crafted or conventional. What are the serious contenders for driving purpose(s)? * Being a group of friends

It has been seven weeks now since I began this practice on April 1. This will be my 42nd post in 54 days. Checking in on my hypotheses from my first post [https://www.bakejam.com/put-public-pen-to-paper/]: > I will benefit from the ritual awareness, measured by feeling glad that

I've been seeing more into the general pattern of [expanding awareness, spaciousness, complexity, development] (are we missing a word for this?) lately. * The challenge comes from a (identity/need-oriented?) dissonance arising * Two truths are in conflict with each other, they can't both be true * There must

(pursuing that goal) Intentional purpose flows from values. Purposeful doing means integrity of values and means. Intentional self-awareness means learning.

A friend posted a lovely picture of a dandelion bouquet from their kid. That triggered a memory, of a song that used to be one of my jams way back. I went and listened to it for the first time in years, thinking about sharing it... But rather than posting
