In the way I have been describing awareness, growth is real. Capacity can expand. Integration can deepen. If that is true, then regression is also possible. Regression is not evil, and it is often unintentional. But it is harmful. It is a movement toward narrowing. It often begins as avoidance. Turning away from experiences that feel overwhelming. Simplifying stories to reduce uncertainty. Choosing certainty over curiosity and creativity. Internally, regression feels like con

In my earlier posts, I’ve talked about awareness as foundational, conserved, in constant evolution, and expressed through distinct individual souls. If awareness is evolving, then growth has continuity. What is integrated in one life does not disappear, nor does the capacity to express that integration. What we learn to hold, to integrate, and to relate to with greater coherence—and the capacity to create from that integration—endures both within the individual soul and withi

In my previous posts, NEXA Post 1 and NEXA Post 2 , I've shared how I think about awareness as foundational, conserved, and expressed through distinct individual souls. What follows for me next is that if awareness is not finished, then growth is real. And if growth is real, then regression is also possible. What happens in our lives and between us, therefore, matters not only within a single lifetime, or even only for our own individual soul, but for the shaping of our coll

After sharing my thoughts on awareness in NEXA Post 1 , I want to explore how this line of thinking comes together for me in a metaphysical sense. If awareness is fundamental, then the questions that naturally follow for me are: (1) what happens to our awareness after we die, and (2) how do individual manifestations of awareness and collective awareness interact. In my view, awareness and its distinct manifestations, which we might call souls, are not created or destroyed. Th

I have been thinking about awareness for a long time. Not initially as an idea or a belief, but as something we all experience and share. Something that moves through our physical bodies. Something that feels older than any one life. I have come to believe that awareness is a fundamental building block of reality, similar to how we think about matter or energy. Our souls are made of awareness, and each soul is a unique expression of it. We are distinct in form, but connected
