Josh, I happen upon your poem right after I have unwrapped this:
We're talking about shifts and breakthroughs in thinking that happen in dynamic facilitation and then people can lose what they accessed when they go back into their lives.... "because it's state dependent" our colleague offers.
I've been riding this around on my bicycle and find myself distilling; that IS what we're dealing with when people go home and "forget." It's 'recidivism,' a word usually applied to crime / prisons and prisoners, but here applied to states of consciousness, defaults, and grooved ruts in thinking.
So part of what we need to bring awareness to is that we blink on and off, in relation to a new state we touched in on, unless and until we are able to re-stabilize, attuned to that new state.
recidivism
/rĭ-sĭd′ə-vĭz″əm/
noun
The repeating of or returning to former [state] behavior.
The state or quality of being recidivous; relapse.
Interesting! And a parallel to my concurrent reading material; The Mind of the Cells by Satprem re Mirra Alfassa/"the Mother"/Sri Aurobindo.
From Ouspensky: "..And here it is necessary to note that all psychological systems and doctrines, those that exist or existed openly and those that were hidden or disguised, can be divided into two chief categories. First: systems which study man as they find him, or such as they suppose or imagine him to be. Modem 'scientific' psychology or what is known under that name belongs to this category. Second: systems which study man not from the point of view of what he is, or what he seems to be, but from the point of view of what he may become; that is, from the point of view of his possible evolution."

This brings to mind a book I read 40+ years ago. Free download here https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Ouspensky-The-Psychology-of-Mans-Possible-Evolution.pdf. . basically we are machines and act in repetitive ways until we first realize this and then develop the observer and then we have choice.

Wow
Josh pondered: "Is curiosity a mask for fear?"
Intellectualization is a pretty healthy defense mechanism; seeking to understand the threats...
Love it
