Unsound Investments

Consciousness
Connection
Truth
Sight
Perception
Experience
Awareness

What matters most is not matter.

What matters most is not material.

What matters most *applies to the material.*

This is why you are failing to create a conscious relationship.

Because a conscious relationship is an unwise investment. It is an investment without matter, without material.

Neither consciousness nor relationship is material, both are *means* of investment in something material.

The practice of investing consciousness and relationship into conscious relationship is like going to the bank to get 100 one dollar bills changed into two fifties. You've passed time and generated nothing at all.

If you told me you desire consciousness...
or connection
or truth
or sight
or perception
or experience
or awareness,

I would be entirely unsatisfied.

Others might get a dopey grin on their face, intensify their eye contact with you, lean in and say "I feel that so deeply."

But I would become instantly restless. I would be in the grips of compulsion.

I would HAVE TO KNOW

OF WHAT? OF WHAT?

Your awakened community is doing you no favors allowing you to linger in the delusion that you might prioritize what matters above all things.

You cannot prioritize the immaterial without the material.

Prioritization is what matters—it must be applied to the material.

You must prioritize priority-worthy things, become conscious of worthy information and practices, connect to worthy beings, see what is worth looking at, perceive something worth the attention, experience something additive, become aware of something important.

Reality is here and now, being a perfect map upon which you might apply what matters most. But if you're investing in those concepts more than you're investing in the here and now, you probably feel very stuck.

Freedom lies in investing what matters into worthy material. That means identifying worthy material and worthy practices of investment in the material.

Freedom is being in full choice about the distribution of your finite resources of time, energy, and attention in your one and only life.

Would you try to spend your time on time?

Would you pour energy into your energy?

Would you allow your attention to consume your attention?

Possibly all of these are wise for a moment of tuning, but none of them are sustainable practices for this flicker of a human life.

We can tune up a process, but a process which only ever serves itself as a process is pointless.
