The extract below resonates with me. I cannot work at a detail level, I feel my way through reams of LinkedIn posts and comments, a paragraph here and there are enough to resonate with me and my own sense of direction for humanity. My work is a constant interactive experience with humanity, it manifests as a flow of orientation, rhythm, and intellectual or emotional response.

The critique of our modern education system in section IV resonates deeply. It is a travesty that young lives are constrained within concrete boxes for the best of their daylight hours.

My newsletter on LinkedIn is called Emotional Evolution, it involves rethinking our dominant socio-economic paradigms for example: the wealth hierarchy, growth economics, pronatalism. https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7146798507025203200/

Barbara Williams, Thank you. maybe we must meet sometime on zoom and have a session on natural cognition. I stopped reading in 1991 for around 6 to 7 years completely and this rewired my cognitive system. I have a fantastic documentation on how children create knowledge of the Real world and have been able to decode the implicit rules of natural cognition.

Incisive breakdown of how cognitive science ended up studying a post-mortem body. The paradox is stark: theories celebrate embodiment while describing bodies that have already been disciplined into stillness. I once watched researchers run "embodied cognition" experiments where kids sat at computers clicking responses to stimuli, and the whole setup felt like performance art about missing the point. The remark about early literacy reorganizng the senses before theory even arrives cuts deep.

This piece beautifully highlights how cognition and lived experience arise before the mind’s stories and concepts — reminding us that life itself knows first, and thought only names what has already unfolded. It prompts us to listen more deeply to the quiet, non-discursive intelligence of presence — the gentle whispers of No-Mind that aren’t words, but awareness in action.

May we all learn to attend to that subtle invitation moment by moment — where Love in Full Expression (LIFE) reveals itself not as something to think about, but as the felt flow of being alive here and now.

Absolutely excellent! I plan to read again, but it’s delightful to find someone who gets it. Thank you for writing this.
