Perspective entails the perspection, and even the measuring, of the distance between the observer and the observed. The historical concept of the "Renaissance" was a death and a rebirth. This ties into the law of rhythm, how depression can only be cured by an outburst of expression. How life is a paradox, if you sleep in your bed you have to make it in the morning and repeat. The sooner you accept the pendulums movement, the more at peace you will feel. You can only appreciate the one when you experience the other.
The Renaissance began in moments created by ordinary people with jobs. Their use of language shaped the most transformative period after a dark age. Language shapes our consciousness, our thinking, living and seeing the world. AI is a blackhole which feeds off of us and is a means to an end. We are facing a great evil of our time and our smartphones are a perfectly curated spell of hypnosis.
Sustained attention is where a renaissance moment is allowed to blossom. It is in that moment that you can weave all the diverse meanings of your own perspective into a distinct outburst of the human spirit. It begins in the minds and habits of ordinary people. If you hit rock bottom, instead of doom scrolling and being trapped within your algorithm, have you ever tried collecting those rocks?
Magic exists within your sustained attention.
Tribal connection and belonging has been replaced by the collective consciousness of the internet. When seeing a funny video, our first reaction isn’t to send it to a friend but rather to read the collective inside jokes, the comments. Most of us measure our value as a human based off of our income, when you are without a job a sense of self imposed mortality sets in.
