Experience from Effort, Information through Perspective

Experience from Effort, Information through Perspective

Our bodies are always receiving information that changes us. We need to collect information about what is around us to keep us going. When we inform with effort we are gathering information from whatever makes changes, giving us reliable knowledge that helps us work with the changes in the world. When we gather reliable information we need less thought to understand the world so we stress less and don’t end up confused and conflicted by the differences between what we think we know and what is happening. But there is something between effort and thought, an inner voice that drives and directs how we change, we call this our subconscious.

Our body is changed by our spiritual connections, strengthening us. Strength from interactions builds our experience, building our curiosity to change ourselves, building our subconscious. The soul uses our curiosity to drive us to search for information, directs our thoughts with perspective, gathering information that changes us in a positive way. 

Using the natural cycle of energy, interaction gives us information, through curiosity.

When we inform with effort we are treating ourselves like we are a shared place, like we are part of the world that we can change. 

Effort into Thought through Subconscious

Effort is kinetic energy, the energy of movement, the physical energy of change, the same energy that our senses turn into information. 

Growing up my mom taught us all how to take care of ourselves by giving us daily chores. We cleaned the house, did laundry, yard work, gardened, fixed up the house and cooked. My mom used to joke that I was the easiest baby, whenever I was upset she just put me in a high chair with food and I was happy. When she taught me to cook and I realized that I could make my own food, cooking quickly became my favorite chore. As poor as we were, and we were very poor, good food is a luxury that you can have if you are able to cook.  Our physical energy (effort) is driven by our interactions with the world, when we inform with effort, the way we are changed are directly based on our interactions in the world, directly based on how the world actually affects us.

My parents were stressed, and with 8 people in the family there were many times that I would get yelled at for things that were beyond my control. My motto quickly became “Do your best at whatever you do, and no one can say you’ve failed”. The motto simply stated that if you were not able to do something despite your best efforts then you didn’t fail the task, the expectations failed you; besides, if you try your hardest you will have learned something and many times that is a victory in itself. I also applied this to cooking, and in time my cooking skills were better than my moms. When we use effort to collect information we are building more accurate knowledge, making us better prepared, our subconscious giving us drive and direction. 

Our experiences, the results of us living in the world, pull in significant efforts, building our curiosity about the world. When someone cooks long enough they can cook something great without a recipe. Just thinking about new ingredients will come together brings memories of taste and smell that mix in your mind, informing you how the combination will taste. When you prepare the new dish and test it, failure or success, you become a better cook. Once our curiosity collects enough physical energy it pushes perspective, giving us information on how the world interacts with us. A strong subconscious built on experience gives us perspective and knowledge of how the world changes us, so we can gain information with less stress and less thought.

I am still amazed when people tell me they don’t know how to cook. To think the situation may come up where someone doesn’t know how to feed themselves, is a stress that nobody would want. Then I think back to when I first started cooking, the mistakes I made, getting past the emotions, having to put in the effort that helped gain this knowledge until my subconscious took over, making it second nature.
