The document discusses how society has become overly focused on bureaucracy, metrics, and validation through things like money, grades, and contracts. It suggests this limits learning, success, and legitimacy to only what can be proven or credentialed. It argues we should "disengage" from these systems and assumptions in order to solve problems and unleash more energy and openness. We cling to illusions of continuity and what we already know, but life is actually unknown and constantly changing. The document advocates hosting life and learning simply for its own sake without agenda.

4. we have so many examples accumulating..
of lost energy..
from not disengaging enough

5. ie: we’re pretty sure everything has to be measured/commoditized/bureaucratized..
we think things like:
it’s not learning if there’s no proof
it’s not success if there’s no profit
it’s not legit if there’s no paperwork

6. so when we’re seeking to solve problems..
we assume things like:
it’s not learning if there’s no proof
validation.credentialing.badging.
it’s not success if there’s no profit
money.gdp.winning.competition.scarcity.
it’s not legit if there’s no paperwork
id.credit line.grade.contract.

8. to the point of thinking these things are not only a given..
but a necessity..

9. we cling to them. we assume them. we wear them. we don’t
question them.
and so.. we perpetuate

10. we’re so busy working on these ways to credential/prove/protect…
we don’t even see the

I’ve found that the root cause of stress is clinging to things.
We cling to the hope that things will go as we expected or
planned, and then get stressed trying to make that happen, or
frustrated when it doesn’t.
So how can we stop clinging?
By realizing that there’s nothing to cling to.
N o t h i n g to cling to.

13. The ego craves continuity; it wants today to feel like an extension of
yesterday. Without that thread to cling to, the journey day to day would
feel disconnected, or so the ego fears.
You are clinging to an illusion of continuity.. give it up.. you will realize
that you have been discontinuous all along, constantly changing
constantly dipping into the ocean of possibilities to bring forth anything
new. Yet life is actually unknown, as it has to be if you are ever to
conceive of new thoughts, desires, and experiences.

The ego keeps itself intact by repeating what it already knows.

15. there is a nother way
deep/simple/open enough.. for all of us
