    We can change the way our reality presents itself emotionally within ourselves. And we can do this by journeying through playfulness.

    Just imagine what playfulness means to you in taste for life - in way of being. We need to know that there are internal echos and our imagination is the key to getting out of it.
    Exercise this as we speak... even though you already do without knowing it, when pathways in understanding conversation show themselves to be known to us - the knowledge can be brought to you and you could get to it, but when you observe the situation from the outside you need not move. Do you then own it? You can choose to experience it as either way. You do not experience owning it from the outside unless you already are in or move in that direction. A need to be able to switch from "what we think is" to operating in this environment in which "what can be" could arise and action would be promoted within - a union of that which is beyond where I am and yet we can act to curl around something we own with different approaches - Playfulness can supply energy.

    Own own own own own....
    Disown... Disown...Disown... Disown... Disown

    Our inability to temporarily let go of approaching knowledge the same way, limits the experience of what could be. Switching modes might not be fun, but the ability to, is too often useful.

    I´d like some feedback on this. Questions obviously abound in such a model
    I don´t speak as a guru. I am using this platform to incentivize myself to continue thinking about such important things. This is something which I think the community would appreciate as they could think about what I am asking them to realize - it looks paradoxical but... the exercise above hints at clues.

    Not sure if this is what you're talking about or not. I'm a smart guy, but there are a lot of people smarter than I am. Even one or two here on the forum (No, not you @S). On the other hand, I'm one of the most playful people I know. There have been a few other playful people here too (No, not you @S). I think that playfulness adds a new dimension to intelligence. It helps you make connections where other people don't and it adds flexibility to your thinking.

    Is that what you're trying to get at?

    My English is way to limited to type comments on this forum. I need to consider to end my participating. Playfulness is for me an instrument to be flexible. Flexible in terms of using your consciousness. Consciousness thinking I try to achieve by strong visualization techniques. Visualization techniques are in a way always playful. The playfulness of visualization techniques makes it all so attractive. I experience creative people who are more trained in using there right brain halve, are having less trouble in being playful... Approaching new situations, or old situations trough a new perspective, requires a certain creativity. Being creative makes playfulness way more easier... (Sorry for possible typing or grammar faults)

    I can see how it would be frustrating, and there are some grammar issues, but you expressed your ideas clearly and they made sense.

    I'm very verbal and not particularly visual, but sometimes I'll get a sudden flash of a visual image that will send me off in a new intellectual direction. When I write poetry, which is very seldom, sometimes poems come to me in a single visual image. Then all I have to do is write them down, which is often easier said than done. Those are my best poems.

    Thank you,

    I can be a verbal person myself. But in my native language. I do read a lot of literature in English, but reading and writing are not the same. For me. I live a rather solitude life. Physically. And on social platforms I'm more like a ghost just reading, thinking, observing, processing... My knowledge of the English language is probably to limited to be active on a platform like this. The power of knowledge isn't always represented in how good you can write about it. It's just the easiest way to share it. I admit. Real knowledge comes with understanding. I experience that understanding can also be "communicated" without words.

    You can write a beautiful poem and your beloved ones will maybe "understand" from what state of emotional being you were in when you put those words on paper. Then what is more beautiful? The poem or the recognition from your beloved ones who understand why you wrote that poem?

    You don't need to go over this. I easily loose track from my main subject. Saying: it's going to be naively difficult for me to join a meaningful discussion on this lovely forum. It's better to realize this myself before someone points it out...

    What is your native language? Are there forums in that?

    Also, judging from what you've written so far, I think your voice would be welcome here. Better good thinking than perfect writing. I can understand it may be too difficult.

    My native language is Dutch. I do study the Russian language. And Latvian language. My interests are very wide and divers... I do recognize the limitations of my "brain" capacity. Diversity in interests comes with compromises. For example: I did recognize around 375 birds visually, around 150 on vocal sounds...I guess for some 15 years. Then I started my interests in quantum physics... My knowledge of birds slowly started to drop... If you are a specialist in one or a few subjects, you can be a genius... (I'm smiling here now) if you have the tendency to be interested in to many things... And you dig deep in all of them... Chances you become a chaotic weirdo are potentially high... But yeah... There are so many interesting things out there... If that makes sense...

    I admire anyone who even attempts to express complex ideas in a language not their own. And your English is good enough for the forum.
