Curiosity didn't kill the cat!

(and comment threads)
When ‘dealing with’ invisible realms revealed through the lens of cultural or proprietary modelling (as in narratives that direct funding to frame research to generate narratives), I cannot but realise we are never really looking out at a world, but through the lens or structures of internalised ideas, definitions and beliefs that give us such experience - which includes our responses and development of further ideas that shape perceptions and behaviour.
This is not to say I disregard empirical witness any more that relational honesty and a basis for a coherently aligned life, world and self. We use the terms ‘mind' and ‘beliefs' in large part for masking justifications by which to maintain a continuity of self, and so develop them as a tool - that tools or shapes and directs our own experience of a qualitative experience through a quantitative representation. We also the terms “I” and ‘Me” for different facets of subject to an object.
The “I” that accepts physical determined existence will be unaware of the decision to accept and follow the themes for the benefits that are experienced or assumed. Questioning assumptions allows revealing of the mindset that they represent.
It is known that a subject under hypnosis can instantly operate or experience very differently, and that we are always ‘talking to ourself’ or indeed teaching ourself what we accept or believe by our actions and habit-reactions, so we are always learning, but often of a past that is no longer here but that we stamp its meaning as our present to persist such a strategy of life into future.
So what of the nano-particulate realm of bio-fields organising the patterning or structures of physics, biology and psychic participance? Do we not stumble upon Self at the edges of our maps - but unrecognised through the lens of thinking to ‘get’ - which exemplifies and teaches a sense of self-lack from which the movement to ‘get’ or ‘seek’ unfolds the desire to experience or go forth and multiply each according to its kind as embodiment.
As with garbage in; garbage out, we will not truly solve dissonance by manipulating the effects of the output, but by releasing the bug from the code - but if its a feature or protected narrative, the bug’s spike wags the virus.
How to escape from an impossible situation but to re-cognise we are not in it?
Covid gives a ready example for many who noticed it is a construct of coded meanings by which to restructure or reframe toxic conflicts to double down in ‘controls’ that invoke dictates masked in terror as the ‘creative’ word that goes forth to ‘deliver’ us unto self-illusion set over and against self-coherence - past the tipping point to the lockstepping structure and stricture demanding sacrifice to protect - and reset - the Model or ‘idol’ passing off as true.
It may be that to release a dysfunctional or dissonant pattern of thought requires fully owning it, rather than trying to get rid of it or make it go away - as in whack-a-mole as algorithm for a global military industrial complex - expanding to systemic regulatory capture to full spectrum ‘dominance’.
Curiosity didn't kill the cat - but gave rise to the sense of a many lived cat!
