Disrupting Dis-Ease

Dispatch Mar 26

As Above, So Below

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”

— Robert Frost, Fire and Ice

Paradigms are systems of “ease” — frameworks that create a certain level of autonomy so that we can focus our attention on the novel, growth, what is coming into being.

A lot of your hear me going on and on about ease A LOT, but that’s the ease that comes on the other side of updating our Reality Operating System™️. When paradigms trap us in the past, in reactive, autopilot versions of self that prevent us from living fully in the present and with responsiveness, that’s when the shift begins.

All frameworks, at some point in their life cycle, become dis-eased and dysfunctional — and they will, when the fear of ceasing to exist outweighs the fear of change, collapse. This applies both to the individual as well as on a civilization level.
