mindset

There is no need to "fix" the POV + no avatar can give this to you.

The unconditional gaze doesn’t attempt to fix.  You do not need to be fixed. You, who are reading this: you do not need to be fixed. Everything that you perceive at the POV level—it doesn’t need to be fixed. I used the word “melting” before—it isn’

Gazing at the POV with the storyteller's eye. Not glare. Not awkwardly stare. Gaze.

On the current “Recommended Resources” page, I said the following, regarding a spirituality Youtube channel that I particularly like: Psychology, biology, quantum physics, religion, spirituality... There are many ways to approach the "I." The label is irrelevant. What is relevant is the warmth with which the "I&

practice

List up the problems in your POV.

The process of dissolving an undesired POV specialization is simple to describe: 1. You take your problem to the storyteller. 2. She gazes at it with you. 3. It melts away, because you realize that she is you. The storyteller is you—who were, temporarily, more heavily identified with the

POV

It's easier to consciously de-specialize than to consciously specialize.

It’s been my observation and experience that initially, it’s easier to consciously de-specialize from an undesired inspiration than to consciously specialize into a desired inspiration. By this, I mean that, for example, it’s easier to consciously de-specialize from “I am an idiot” than to consciously specialize into

mindset

The "I just know" feeling.

By reading up to this point, you’ve already considered/accepted several key POV specializations: * I am this avatar but also the storyteller (and therefore, the story and everything in it). * The “outside” environment isn’t entirely separated from my avatar and its body. * Opposites don’t render each other

POV

More on using opposites/relatives + a handy POV specialization.

So far, we’ve covered various aspects of this worldview. To sum up & elaborate on some key points: * Things can be negative for the avatar, and such things should be allowed to be negative. * At the same time, for the storyteller, everything that the avatar is, is inevitably accepted

mindset

Being pissed at the storyteller is an excellent place to start.

In the previous post, I mentioned that the idea of a storyteller, presented thus far, could lead to a sense of fury, indignation, disappointment, and similar reactions—usually categorized as undesirable. This is an excellent place to start. Also, I think it’s the likelier path we’ll take, initially,

POV

The avatar world: one of relativity.

Despite everything in the posts up to now, or perhaps because of everything in those posts, it’s possible to get pissed at the storyteller. Some of the things mentioned were: * The storyteller needs the avatar. The storyteller wouldn’t be a storyteller without a story with an avatar. * Hardships

mindset

Your storyteller loves you unconditionally.

The following might be the most important thing we need to know about the storyteller. Perhaps, even, the only thing: My storyteller loves me unconditionally. Your storyteller loves you unconditionally. Each of our storytellers loves each of us unconditionally. This is the reason I chose to dub this worldview “The

mindset

What's the point of being in a story at all?

Why can’t we just all awaken within the story, return to storyteller-ness, and thereby “go home,” so to speak? Why does the storyteller need to send the avatar through any kind of hardship at all, in a story? In other words, why can’t the story just be like

POV

The POV is where the avatar and the storyteller meet.

The POV is where the avatar and the storyteller meet. The POV is the middle. It’s the same as how in a novel, the character and the novelist meet at the POV, the middle. This POV tends to be specialized for the character, because, as mentioned in previous posts,

inspiration

Identifying with both the storyteller and the avatar + inside and outside.

The storyteller is the one who can write any story. The closer we identify with the storyteller, the more we can access this power. That said, it’s worth noting again that, as mentioned in “Your POV is powerful,” the storyteller needs the avatar. A storyteller without an avatar only

POV

The POV, in its specialized state.

The POV’s definition was this: “everywhere and everywhen the avatar can go with its everyday awareness, and that which can go everywhere and everywhen.” However, the POV of an avatar tends to be more specialized than “everywhere and everywhen,” depending on what inspirations it accepted. In other words, we

Summary, so far.

The first part of the worldview has been covered. I titled it, "Consider this possibility." To summarize & clarify more: The "I" can be directed to various regions of our body, such as the head or the chest area. Not only that, this "I"

Now is the time to accept or reject this particular inspiration.

Now is a good time to accept or reject this inspiration—the inspiration that we are in a story. Not just theoretically. Literally. And this inspiration isn’t from me—me, Ithaka. Ithaka is writing this post through her (my) avatar. In the avatar world, her (my) words are her

mindset

A model, not the actual thing.

Please note, again, that all terms exist for explanation’s sake. We shall not cut wrist from elbow just because terms exist separately. We want the whole functioning arm. The layers of the The Storyteller’s Eye worldview go as follows: * Storyteller * POV * Avatar * Body + mind Nothing on this list

mindset

Your POV is powerful.

We need not weep because the POV cannot generate its own inspiration. Not at all. It’s actually quite useful that most of the time, our POV doesn’t know why we want what we want and why we need what we need. (Want and need are, by the way,

inspiration

The question of POV-level free will.

Despite how we are what we imagine (what our POV focuses on), clearly, there are distinctions between entities in the avatar world. The POV itself may be free to go anywhere and anywhen and gazes at everything with equal weight/solidity/validity, but there are certain things that it associates

A relevant quote from "The Poetics of Space" + On labels.

When I relive dynamically the road that "climbed" the hill, I am quite sure that the road itself had muscles, or rather, counter-muscles. In my room in Paris, it is a good exercise for me to think of the road in this way. As I write this page,

practice

Experiencing the becoming of non-avatar things.

There is nothing better than experiencing things with your own body, to make a piece of theory both obsolete and more concrete. Regarding the post “The "I" beyond the avatar world,” if you believe you haven’t experienced the becoming of non-avatar things before, and would like to

On the distinction between "imaginary" and "real."

In the worldview of The Storyteller’s Eye, the distinction between “imaginary” and “real” is blurry at best—possibly nonexistent. It’s like this: We use various words for various parts of the arm: wrist, forearm, elbow, etc. But where does wrist begin and forearm end? Where does forearm begin

The "I" beyond the the avatar world.

The most curious thing about the post "The "I" outside of the body?" wasn’t that you concluded you weren’t in the museum when you fainted, or that you concluded you weren’t in the museum (depending on your answer) when you were contemplating your

Some initial terms.

The reason there are so many dictionaries in this world is that despite their existence, words are used for different meanings all the time. So, here are some initial terms, defined specifically for the use in the worldview of The Storyteller's Eye. * body: container of mind in the

spacetime

Time, space, and the POV.

Time and space are one, in that the movement in time is the movement in space. In most worlds we are aware of—for example, the world of the avatar—it is not possible to move in space without time passing. It is also not possible for time to pass

body

The "I" outside of the body?

Case 1. Imagine you are standing in an empty art museum. It’s almost closing time. You are the only one standing here in this high-ceilinged, sound-echoingly-vast space that could fit in a hundred people. Someone already turned off the artificial lights. But the long flat windows, which adorn the
