Philosophy

Term Abundance I use abundance to mean the noticing that what is already here is enough, and that is a perception, not a quantity. Term Accumulation When I use the word accumulation, I am describing something I can point to in an ordinary week. Term Alignment Alignment is a relationship between three directions a person holds at once. Term Attunement When I use attunement, I mean bringing your own frequency near another person's without making it the same. Term Awakening The most precise description I can give is this: noticing that you had not been noticing. Term Calibration Calibration, for me, is a single act of comparison. Term Completion Completion, as I use it, is the noticing that a thing has stopped being useful. Term Cycles By a cycle I mean something that comes back, and the time it takes to come back. Term Direction Direction, as I use it, is a heading that is held rather than gripped. Term Drift When I use the word, I am pointing at something that arrives after effort, not instead of it. Term Ego I use the word to mean the story that says I. There is a narration going on all the time, a voice that keeps the account of things together, that makes the Term Energy Energy, in this vocabulary, is not a stuff. It does not sit somewhere in a person and get drained into the air, nor does it arrive from outside and pool in the Term Evidence What I mean by evidence is not the incidents themselves but the state of the person who holds them. Term Flow I use flow to describe work that carries itself forward without remainder. Term Frequency Frequency, as I use it, is a rate of return. Not a rate of vibration in the air or in a room, though people may mean that too, but the rate at which a thing Term Grounding Grounding is the noticing of what does not move. Not the earth itself, and not some current running through it, though the current is a kind image and I do not Term Growth Growth is what continues when nobody is watching it. Term Healing Sleep is where the definition is easiest to check. Term Higher self When I use the word I am not describing a second person inside you, though that is the picture the idea usually comes with. Term Intention Intention, as I use it, is a direction held without force. Term Light Light, in the sense I use it, is the condition that makes a thing visible without changing it. Term Manifestation I use manifestation to mean something that can be checked by noticing, not by believing. Term Noise What I mean by noise is louder. It is not, on its own, a bad thing, but it is the thing that is heard and does not answer back. Term Pattern I use the word for the noticing itself, not for whatever regularity turns out to be noticed. Term Persistence I mean the slow accumulation of evidence, though evidence is the wrong word if it suggests anyone is keeping a record. Term Presence Presence, for me, is attention that has stopped preparing. Term Receiving Receiving, as I use it, is the state where something is allowed to arrive and where you do not have to be the one to make it arrive. Term Residue I use residue to mean the mark something leaves on a day after it is finished, and I have noticed that the mark often does not match what was actually done. Term Resonance I use resonance to mean two things sitting close without either one turning into the other. Term Shadow A shadow is a shape that exists because something is in the way of the light. Term Silence When I use the word silence, I am not pointing at the absence of sound. Term Stillness Stillness, as I use it, is not the absence of motion. Term Surrender Surrender, as I use it, is the moment when the pushing stops but the aim does not. Term Synchronicity Synchronicity, for me, is a coincidence that was already wanted. Term Testimony There is a moment, and it is the same for almost everyone I have heard tell this story, where a single account stops being an account. Term The field I use the field to mean everything present in a room and unspoken. Term The unseen The unseen, for me, is the part of a situation that is only present because it is not spoken. Term Vibration Vibration, for me, is the quality of a state before the state has a name.
