Each of these words and combinations express states of being.
Global languages share many common threads when defining states of being,
but also introduce variations and unique constructs.
We call many of these states of being Emotions, Motivations, Perceptions, Feelings and Statuses.
The words literally legitimize the existence of each variant. Without the word, we would not think of the particular state of being. We view some words and their attached constructs as negative, and some as positive. Some as desirable, some to avoid.
At Y Worlds, we view these words as SLANT. We have been taught to use these words and think about ourselves and others according to their inherited meanings and applications.
If you were taught a different way to think about the body, the mind, the being, you could go through life without recognizing the existence of any of these words and any of their meanings.
If we were to imagine that these words all disappeared, and their attached constructs with them, what would the alternative look like? How would it work?
Here is our alternative thinking.
There are 3 sets of constructs that describe human states of being. The brain is not separate from the body. What you think you think is you. It is not your brain. It is you at that very moment. It does not define your past or your future, just that moment. It is not who you are. It is what you are at that moment. You could not change what you just did, what you just thought, what you just hoped for. It was what it was. If it could have been changed, the experience within you or without would have had to change.
You have momentums. You inherit life experience and chance. You inherit your inherent programming and composition. Right out the the box, you are a unique being with predispositions and experiences that exponentially expand into what differentiates you for everyone else in the universe.
The states of being constructs are:
1. Nurture, Equality, Truth and Systems
2. Comfort, Meaning and Vitality
3. Programming, Potential, Experience and Chance
Try thinking about yourself and the world without any of the words in our long SLANT list.
Try using the constructs we are exploring.
We’re building a way to understand complexity that is systemic and semiotic.
Work on this project with us. We do not have all the answers. We may be on to something
or maybe it is you who is on to something.
Y Worlds. We are consciously and systemically and creatively optimistic.
