Not simple observation… but the »intentions that underlies it…

∞Observation changes everything. One who is being observed associates and identifies with real or perceived observation, and observers. This fact is at the basis of mind itself; we form minds in observational contexts that are relationally charged with myriad characters and potentials. In simple terms: human beings form minds in relation with observational contexts. Once exposed to this paradigm, we also forge ‘interior’ analogs of ‘exterior’ events, analyses, and various degrees of capable or incapable rationalizing activity. But, effectively, we will form our minds, imperatives, conscious senses and developmental character… in and with observational contexts.

This fact has unimaginable power: if we forge actively intelligent mutual contexts that are relationally and developmentally true, the humans within those contexts will acquire new forms of mind, intelligence, agency… humanity. We are engineering the wrong domain; mechanical replacements for relationships and personhood. The domain we are ‘made for’ by our own natures and history is mutual superfunction. Essentially, in small, intelligently formed ‘teams’ we can learn and retain our humanity. In shattered or competing ‘individuals’ we shall find only chaos and competition for basic necessities we are being actively deprived of so that we can be sold counterfeits.

This is an observation environment. We are reforming minds here. But not actively. So here, we are subject to the formative imperatives of the context and environment. Unless we change those, and form »actual collectives, here, with and for each other, within a context that was pre-compromised. Ironically, this is the perfect tool for that adventure. What is required is those capable and interested in initiating, sustaining, and surpassing its protocols.

There is nothing that is not being observed (and participated in) by all beings. And this sense, when lost, is a terrifying impoverishment, because with it goes the ability to see, feel, and sense… as and for all beings.
