Pro-action & Knowledge


The hourglass

Pro-action & Knowledge

Compacted info - the package, basic contents, presentation level, fruits
Immersion level - deepening, imbibing, knowing - roots/seeds
Expansion level- interfacing, creating, relating, receiving influences, giving birth, flourishing.
The combination of these three aspects compounds what we can call knowledge.

Sub context

Basically when we go deep down into the info we immerse into some levels - rooted levels.
Through this immersion we enable ourselves to go up into the expansion. It’s in this stage that we start creating, perceiving and acting properly (not just reacting). This is the pro-action level.

If someone tries to go straight to it without first merging into the roots, the fruits will be quite barren, without consistency and will experience a short life.

According to the level we experiment, we may open channels, which link us to real newness.

The world of information

The world of information is a vast one.
Many say that to have information means to have power. I would rather say that to have power, meaning to be empowered, has to do with how to browse the world of information without being affected or trapped in it.

Seeds and roots

Imagine such hourglass shaped vase. Imagine it as filled with the energy of words, phrases, fundamental ideas, organized thoughts and spatial connections between the phrases, thoughts and ideas.
Imagine these aspects as the seeds and the roots in an energetic vase, all subtle.
Imagine them just in this energy level, as light or some Electro-magnetic impulses, organized as logical phrases and ideas in a subtle project or plan. They aren’t physical, but you may see them in the form of light.

As in an ordinary vase, filled with soil, the seeds will have plenty of space to grow and to generate the roots, until the point when they cannot be kept inside the vase anymore. A new form of energy will be expressed – these are the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits which just go up ground, leaving the inner ground. After reaching up the ground they establish contact with different factors as wind, rain, moon, stars, sun, air and other living beings.

At this point we may come back to our imaginary subtle vase, filled with ideas, thoughts, basic presumptions our seeds and roots. After a while immersed into that subtle recipient, they will gain proper life to go up beyond the ground level and they start establishing new contacts, as the branches, leaves and flowers or fruits.

Flowers, fruits, leaves and the sun

It’s in this level - we may call it expansion level, that we start having access to the creation level. From the up ground level, the apparent will be just the “flowers, fruits, branches and leaves”. The immersed seed and roots will be forgotten very easily, because they simply remain incognito. Of course they are still alive. Actually, the quality of the seeds and the roots is very important to determine the quality of the fruits.
Their value is there, even though they won’t be noticed by most people who will just keep contact with the apparent (created by the seeds and sustained by the roots).

The compacted Info

Coming back to our imaginary subtle vase, the apparent part of it may be related to the info, compacted and organized. Shaped in our case as an hourglass.
The information is usually limited in its own shape, but that is not true at all.
We do know that there are connections above - the sun, wind, rain and so on, and below, inside the ground level where the seeds and roots grow and develop themselves.

We may understand knowledge as not just seeing the information itself, but when we access its world, within, up, below and out.
