Welcome Naomi!
Welcome @Naomi Red cliffe !! Having a great convo with you in the chats and I thought I’d share the latest response down below about what is this space meant to be!? I’m learning better every day and I think this is a great way to look at it! Also, I love the whole researcher and cartographer energy as well!! So underrated and misunderstood!! We all got it and learning to utilize it is so key and awesome and a huge part of this!! Honestly the community is merely a map at first I’m still building out and I suppose tutorial as well and it’s to encourage others to really see the possibilities and power of digging into and interacting with life more intentionally and personally and realizing that never shuts off as a good thing!! And so people may come here to discover, to ground, to learn to explore, and to be encouraged by others - that’s the outer horizon expanding the horizons within one’s sphere of influence! And so they put down the map and look at life through a new lens of possibility and workability and get some rest and do some basics and start digging into better every day and this will be a space where like-minded people get to share that without feeling alone or misunderstood as they have this newfound joy in life that can be met with grumpiness that feels like a shutdown from those around us and the key is - sleep! Don’t burn bridges! Also don’t stuff yourself! But don’t hurt yourself either! Sleep gives the energy to do it again tomorrow and the conversation always continues! It SHOULD also give others the audacious courage to remain present where they previously feared to or thought they couldn’t because they didn’t already have it figured out and they know they can observe, learn, and build language to describe that better over time! So it’s citizen science empowerment I suppose is a good way to say it in a way that can easily seem unexciting to someone if they don’t see under the hood xD. It’ll be irrefutably exciting the more it takes off and the body of it grows cooler and cooler over time!! I’m excited for that!! You can only ever see so much of the future potential at any given time and that’s super awesome! Not enough time in the day to do it all and that’s exciting! Cause that’s every day! Which means we get to do so much stuff that keeps going and going forever :D. Not utopia or dystopia but nested expanding horizons that we can see better every day, not just hope for blindly as we keep grinding the same old axe thinking it’s the only thing in life to do!!

@Naomi Red cliffe I am too! Thank you so much for talking with me about it! I’ve just recently had those words pop up in my thoughts and honestly I think this is the first time I’ve shared them!! It’s definitely a simple way to express it that I think everyone can understand and it even sorta feels like Indiana Jones-ey somewhat to! Hopefully without the shootouts and swords!! Boy scout motto - always be prepared! As a good researcher does!! XD Researcher and cartographer energy feels like life is possible and rad even! Just learning to get out of my research rabbit hole better every day and sleep more too so I can do more!!
Get Me Elon, Sam and Dario! I figured out some of the missing ingredients!!

Core thoughts so far on this space and my intentions
I wrote this message to @Jacob Luke who is a genuinely thoughtful person who seeks to lend out his expertise in helping others organize their spaces to maximize what it is they’re going for! He’s really really great to talk with and explore with! I think it’s a great synthesis of where I’m at and, in as simple terms as I possibly can right now, express where I’m heading with this. I’d say - not a new religion, but a fundamental discovery and wisdom culture that’s not something I’ve ever seen plainly established in this world despite my best efforts. Here is what I shared with Jacob! LOOOOOOL it shared as a wall of text!! Well, hey, if you’re here, maybe take stuff and ask AI to not edit anything in or out but format it so it’s more legible as far as spacing goes xD. I find copy/paste in Skool to often take out spacing so I won’t format it right now until I figure that out. It’s a bit late so I’m feeling lazy about it. You can use AI like a smart lazy person too! Ok! Here it is! What do you think? Particularly asking you @Dayana Carrillo and @Louise Aquino and @Preston Estrada !! How’s finding people with cool projects you can work with going? I’m definitely in limbo still….im also excited for when I’m not in limbo that you’ll have more experience and I’ll know exactly how we can work together better and you too. I’ll be able to express my needs and you’ll be able to work with those with a much greater depth from all of your experiences. Do you have any advice on maybe like…..some introspection on my end to help me understand myself better? I’m 100% thinking of refining the SSOTGOL book and throwing HorizonQuest in chapter 5 which inspired it. It’s not a super complex system and it doesn’t need a giant thing in order for it to be completely understood up front at all. I suppose my concern and wonder is….how do I properly describe the villager mythos? It’s a framework for understanding myself and my world which is a basic stance that I do describe I think very simply and well in SSOTGOL but it’s also something everyone can and should do for themselves and also it’s a framework for all sorts of mythic/creative exploration that can not only massively help create any and all forms of content but likewise understand content as well!! It’s not an understatement to say that the villager mythos ethos and telos are oriented toward a complete worldview in simplest terms that can fully function in real life in a wise and ongoing sense. SSOTGOL is the character with their very basic understanding and the villager mythos is a bit broader and more….not naive but I guess I should say it at least has a sense of a healthy form of that….wholesomely hopeful, maybe fantastically optimistic and realistically logistic? It’s a grounding myth - all the stories can say what they want but THIS is what makes some form of basic sense to me as I see it all from here. It’s the theory of everything from the perspective of humans figuring stuff out. SSOTGOL is moreso the identity and stance of a villager and their core method and environments, and HorizonQuest is largely what it looks like to be a SSOTGOL villager in the world and how living affects you and the greater world(adding here - whether negatively or positively). So…village = worldview, SSOTGOL = personal understanding of self in it, and HQ = how does it all work and what’s it like to live in it? And this is all just - how do I map out the core of what’s there and the core paths and core understandings of mapping and pathing as wisely and as accurately as possible and also what it looks like inside and out as I live and move and exist? I also had a key insight with an old friend of mine….i say old friend because im not a part of the religion any more…it goes like this…I’ll copy/paste it actually

@Louise Aquino check out my HQ post! It’s way easier to digest and it’s a video so you don’t have to read!

@Louise Aquino the Garden of Life Initiative….what can I compare it to? https://youtu.be/wbRaf2XCpzc?t=1071&is=qvbUClX6ubm2crW3 17:50-20:25 Uuhh What is this? What are you? Oh a tape measurer? Oooh I like this! Push the button and retract!! I’ll measure a little bit for you. Just a little biiiit, for yoooou! Tape measurer you’re my friiiend! I love you in my company, in my haaaand! When I need you you’re around and when I don’t you’re not! This gets good gets better let’s go! With this cooking pot, I make my stew! “Cookin” Me in the kitchen is the basic view! Stop thinkin it’s magic when it’s just yooou! YEAH! What happens when you dooo yooou? Is that toxic selfishness, okor juuust what you’re doing all the tiiime? Let’s be reeeal!! Let’s be real. Let’s be reeeeeal!! Can you ever know what it’s like to be them? Only if you be you!! It’s a barrier to entry that I find intriguing, I really do! And I really do!! Really do, find you intriguing!!! Believe it or not!! I look at myself like that!! 20:25 What follows a bit right after 20:25 Even when I try to put a pin or a finger or a thumb on it it says I’m under - but it’s nooooot! It’s me! It’s you!! So the point I’m getting at is creative liberation. It’s not a renaissance. This has never been done before. It starts with us! If we don’t know we don’t know! And it’s easy to get stumped a lot in this current culture! It’s meant to be an environment of mutual support and empowerment of the individual. What any good movie or show does for its character development :).
Welcome Hadi Cee!
Welcome @Hadi Cee! Glad to have you here, bro-man. You’re cooler than I know and I already know you’re super cool. I first met Hadi when I was seeking coaching and to become a coach and of all of the coaches, ALL of them including Tony Robbins and Ed JC Smith and David Keys Innate Wellbeing just name a few I looked into, even did Tony’s Mastermind app, some Ed JC Smith free content and actually bought David Keys course because the wording is spot on. Hadi is brilliantly methodical and actually gets deep into ongoing self discovery and self-analysis in a way that makes hard sense immediately. Learning skill and confidence and nice sounding things doesn’t really matter if you don’t know who and what you are and how to keep digging into that, does it? He also has an App! I have a small list going on people places and things I recommend that’ll change your life and I need to make it a category or a tab in the classroom and put Hadi at the top with my own content and 9D Breathwork. So glad to have you here, bro-man! My YouTube is a bunch of raw material I think is helpful if you ever wanna mess with any of it in your practice, particularly RAAWWR, demons are our own design, IRL Game, and the beginner’s stuff. Would be honored if anything I do helps smart people who help people who want to get smarter, actually get smarter, and do it easier than having to learn to reinvent all the wheels for oneself. Also, recommend you check out @Dayana Carrillo’s Skool The Solarpunk Collective. We’re networking cause we each got a bit of something we’ve been more exposed to than the others by virtue of location and life and as much as I would love to think I could do it all, there just isn’t enough time in the day despite my desire and mad scientist research and explorations, and I’m diggin that as a feature and not a bug and finding my normal person hero crew start to loosely assemble on its own as I dig into life and run into others doing the same and you’re for sure one of the most powerful in all of the people I’ve met so far :). Welcome to the party, Hadi! “In walks a badass MC.”

pretty sure I’m brainwashed…like 100% sure - if not I’d be totally surprised. Rest, imagine, participate. Exploring it all through those 3 lenses.
