Ouroboros (serpent eating it’s own tail)
The Ouroboros has various interpretations; alchemical, gnostic, hermetic, etc
I was writing on a topic and realized the ouroboros is a perfect symbol to describe what I am attempting to convey
π The simultaneous feedback loop
When we do pretty much anything, we express outward what is within our conscious and subconscious.
Information and energy within you gets expressed outwardly
Simultaneously energy and information is also coming back into the conscious and subconscious
Your actions have reactions,
Live and in real time as you do anything there is feedback being picked up both consciously and unconsciously
π βAs above, so below, as within, so withoutβ β Hermes
“Lessons are repeated until learned”
The better you are at processing, the less instances will be required to adapt and integrate feedback
This is what makes wit so attractive
It signals effective and efficient processing power as well as adaptability
Feed-Back
“Feed” by definition, means “to give food to”
It also means to “supply material to a machine”
Example; “he’s feeding wool into the pressing machine”
Expressing is the food (food representing energy/information)
Which is being given outwardly, expressed outwardly when you do anything
Those expressions then give you feed-back,
You get back information and energy, simultaneously, as you are expressing
The reactions to your actions

EXPRESSION > EXPERIMENTATION > INTEGRATION > TRANSCENDENCE
Expression – you express information and energy
Experimentation – reactions from your actions
Integration – integration of information and energy from feedback
Transcendence – you level up your information and energy which then plays into the next expression
As you go through this process numerous times, you adapt and integrate lessons in regards to the particular subject matter
…but you also adapt to the overall process as a whole
Levels to The Game
Level 0 – Can’t pick up on lessons, never makes it past the integration stage
Level 1 – takes multiple experiments/expressions/experiences to pick up on the lesson (months, years)
Level 2 – takes less instances to pick up on the lessons (hours, days, weeks)
Level 3 – ability to process rapidly and see in real time, live, what the lesson is as he is doing it and adapt on the fly (present moment)
At Level 0 the person likely does no self reflection or questioning
Therefore can never find an answer because they are not asking a question nor looking for an answer
π “Seek and you shall find”
At Level 1 – the person doesn’t actively or regularly engage in self reflection or questioning.
When he starts experiencing friction, that acts as his catalyst to begin questioning and he then connects the dots
At Level 2 – the person engages in self reflection and questioning more regularly and is constantly picking up on insights, information, energy and lessons from his expressions and experiments
At Level 3 – the person engages in self reflection and questioning regularly and he’s become so adept at it he is able to do it in real time, live, on the fly

Examples
At Level 3 he will perceive and process in real time what is going on before getting into the argument with his partner, adapting on the fly, live, in real-time.
Resolving the issue before it escalates to an issue
Understanding what was happening AS IT WAS HAPPENING
Similar to how athletes watch game film to see where they can improve
The highest level athlete can process and pick up on information and energy in the game, while the game is happening, and adapt in real time
“All life is an experiment, the more experiments you make the better” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’d like to write more on improve processing power in the very near future
For now we will conclude with 2 quick points on improving processing power
Awareness – not having head burred in a phone, head up – perceiving reality, noticing what’s going on, not being a zombie, being present and alert provides more information and energy for the subconscious to process and work with
and second,
Stress – the more stressed we are the higher our brainwaves become, which increases the 5 physical senses and decreases the 6th senses
Creating a lingering low level fight or flight mode due to stressors, this makes the brain become binary and diminishes processing power
Fight or Flight
Run or Attack
It’s why people choke on dates or in games
Suffocation of processing from stress
The 5 physical senses get elevated
Thinking and processing get decreased
Challenge will get your adrenaline going, your blood pumping, you’ll feel alive. Stress in this sense does not mean to avoid challenge
Rather, to avoid unnecessary stress from poor sleep, poor nutrition, poor habits etc.
Which wastes and poorly allocates precious bandwidth for processing and stress tolerance
Much more on the performance side of things to come
