Super-Conscio-Fractalistic-Alchemi-Holo-Dios

I was reminded of a Facebook post from a year ago that kind of came in a moment of linguistic play. Upon reflecting this year, I realize there is a much deeper form of play hidden in the silliness:

My brain loves this little zen-koan like meditation. This was a fun little saying just trying to invoke a little Mary Poppins magic in my life and reinterpret a nonsense word to make it personal. In doing so, it transcends silliness and gets to the heart of some profound truths for me. Here is my interpretation of why I like this:

SUPER - Above and beyond; eg, my higher self. Connection to SUPER allows me to zoom out and see more than just the local circumstances (pure local awareness may blind me to a larger possibility space).

CONSCIO - Like Cardio, Conscious Workout. This is stretching and exercising my conscious awareness and noticing anyplace where my awareness may feel a bit tight or constrained. This can become like a Cognitive Yoga.

FRACTALISTIC - Who doesn’t love fractals? They are an artistic representation of the reminder of the Hermetic Principle: As Above So Below. And a reminder that there is no limit to zooming in, but there might be a limit to zooming out (but no matter the zoom level, many of the essential aspects of the fractal are present already in this local-zoom level).

ALCHEMI - Reminder to read the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Including Alchemy in your life is the full cycle of dissolving and recombining elements that may have outlived their usefulness in your awareness field. This doesn’t necessarily mean throwing them away. It can be a Caterpillar to Butterfly transformation, finding a new configuration of things you love and things you no longer love into a fresh expression. Like energetic Marie Kondo.

HOLO - Short for Holographic, and similar to Fractalistic. The Holo side looks at various wholes in your life that you may have previously overlooked. Like a Hologram can show you a 3-dimensional world from a 2-dimensional representation, this awareness and practice can show you many perspectives included in a single representation, just by shifting your awareness. It is also a good reminder that ultimately, nothing is left out.

DIOS - The Spanish word for G-d. Also an acronym for my friend David Gallagher’s meta-lens (Defined Interdepency Orientation System), which is a process for including everything in a piecemeal way that doesn’t over or under emphasize any given part. There is a reminder that GODS love is unconditional, meaning you don’t have to earn it, deserve it, accept it, share it, or anything else. So much in our manifest world orients us to conditionality. Unconditionality does not contradict conditionality, but includes it without making conditionality wrong. The Big Ground of Being/Belonging/Becoming in which every single illusion of separation has its perfect place.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Hope you enjoy my little awareness stretching today!
