Orbs Out Of Structure

I was wondering why I could, in years past, sit down to any Hero’s Journey blueprint and stay enthralled. Obviously there’s always a satisfaction in seeing another character doing the work and training you’re ignoring. And yet despite seeing the work done and done again, the triumph to ensue, you’d figure it’d get boring. But it didn’t. Until years later. Who knows, maybe there’s another story waiting.

If one imagines each story starting as a scaffold then I think the enthralling quality shows a bit more evident. Whether it’s a Hero’s Journey or not or some other structural base riffing off of The Lord of the Rings or other things, The Bible of course or mythology, it’s only a scaffold. The interesting part is what arises once the scaffold is established. What fills in.

It is only through the surest structure that we can pay attention to that which emerges. What is held sacred, or what as impediment.

And so when I’m watching yet-another-potentially-generic Hero’s Journey blueprint, it never feels generic.

Because all of the orbs of perception and meaning or emotion and tranquil meditating rapidly float around, painting the world in something I would have never seen before.

There are so many nuances to experience that we do not have a word for. The most amusing cultural exchange is to discover words that don’t have any direct translation to yours. You’ll find plenty.

No need to search with the right story: the nullspace between each solid beam reaches out and intersects unexplored spacetime. Fill in the ambiance, silence and its transitions and arcs.

One shall discover something hitherto unknown.
