I have come to see my Life as two dimensional. I exist in both of
these dimensions and they come together in who I am.
Outer Space
One dimension I call ‘outerspace’, or the physical reality. It
is 3 dimensional and moves like clockwork in time. There are energies
such as gravity, electro magnatism, and cosmic rays of various sorts.
It works according to the laws of physics. In some ways it’s a play
already written.
Creatures experience and navigate outer space via their senses.
Vision, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting.These senses gives
us different feedback on our local environment. In the case of sight
much further away from that. All living creatures large and small
have physical senses. Life experience physically is centered by our
senses.
Our physical senses are translated by the conscious mind.
Inner Space
The other dimension I live in I call ‘innerspace’. This
dimension is a completely different reality. It has no space (3
dimensions) or time. The energies of innerspace are Life energy,
will, a burning tip of conscious awareness, and emotion. In this
dimension I can evolve or change.
Inner space also has senses. Most philosophers through history
consider these senses based on the chakra’s of the body. The minds
eye, inner voices, the odour of emotions, feelings, solar plexus/gut
feelings.
Inner space senses (metaphysical senses) are translated by the sub
conscious mind.
Words to shed light on
one’s inner space, and illuminate one’s inner powers.
Inspiration.
An inspiration is a product of your thought, like a brilliant
idea. If you have the next revolutionary inspiration like the
printing press, the telephone, or the computer, you may just change
the world.
Inspire means to excite, encourage, or breathe life into.
Inspire comes from the Latin word that means to inflame or to blow
in to. When you inspire something, it is as if you are blowing air
over a low flame to make it grow.
The noun inspiration can also
mean a sudden intuition or idea, or something that arouses
your desire to take action. You may find that doing some routine
provides inspiration (gets your creative juices flowing), like going
for a walk, looking at art, or reading a great poem.
arousal of the mind to special unusual
activity or creativity
the act of arousing to a particular
emotion or action
a sudden intuition as part of solving
a problem
a product of your creative thinking
and work
(theology) a special influence of a
divinity on the minds of human beings
the
act of inhaling; the drawing in of air (or other gases) as in
breathing
the state of wanting to know or learn
about something or someone.
Inspiration can also mean breathing in
or inhaling.
Instinct:
Built into every fibre of all
living things from their intrinsic heritage.
Refers to innate, unlearned patterns of behavior, thoughts, or
feelings that guide actions, often related to survival (like
fight-or-flight, hunger, self-preservation) or reproduction,
operating as deep-seated urges or intuitive responses without
conscious reasoning or prior experience.
While often seen as
automatic, they can be complex, like maternal care, and involve
genetic predispositions that influence motivation and
adaptation.
Innate: Present at birth, not learned
through experience.
Unlearned: Doesn't require conscious
teaching or practice.
Automatic/Involuntary: Happens
without deliberate thought, like a reflex.
Universal:
Shared by most members of a species, though expressed
differently.
Motivational: Drives actions to meet basic
needs (e.g., food, sleep, sex, safety).
Often promoted by
pain: Emotional or physical, most often the combination.
In Humans:
Survival: Becoming super human when
motivated by fear, fight-or-flight response, , sucking reflex in
infants,
Social: Love, maternal instincts, desire for
connection, jealousy, sympathy,
Basic Needs: Hunger, thirst,
sleep, sexual drive.
Instinct vs. Intuition:
Instinct:
An innate behavior or action pattern (e.g., flinching from a hot
stove) , sex, self image.
Intuition: An innate feeling or
knowing without reasoning (e.g., a gut feeling , dream, inner voice).
Intuition?
Intuition is not logical. It is not the result of a set of
considered steps that can be shared or explained. Instead, while
based on deep-seated knowledge, the process feels natural, almost
instinctual.
And yet, while intuition is quick and usually beneficial, it is
not always entirely accurate. The subconscious brain attempts to
recognize, process, and use patterns of thinking based on prior
experience and a best guess.
Paradoxically, intuition feels unknowable. After all, you cannot
explain the thinking behind a snap decision that appears out of
nowhere.
It just happens.
While intuition occurs in your day-to-day life, it is sometimes
most apparent in the decisions of experts.
Business
Perhaps surprisingly, many of the world’s most influential
businesspeople admit to making decisions based on intuition rather
than logical, deliberate thinking.
Human intuition is massively important – an evolved function
fundamental to our ancestors’ survival – but it can be mistaken.
Intrinsic
Intrinsic is an adjective that describes something that belongs to
the essential nature of a thing. It refers to qualities or values
that are inherent and natural parts of an object or concept.
Understanding intrinsic helps in recognizing the core attributes
that define various subjects, whether in nature, human behavior, or
objects.
Insightful
Insightful means having or showing a clear and original
understanding of a complicated problem or situation. It often
describes comments, analyses, or observations that reveal deep
understanding.
The term "insightful" is an adjective that describes
someone or something that shows a clear and often original
understanding of a complex problem or situation. It indicates a deep
perception or awareness.
Understanding:
Exhibits a clear grasp of intricate issues.
Perceptiveness:
Demonstrates the ability to see beyond the surface.
Originality:
Often involves unique or fresh perspectives.
Intellect
That faculty of the human soul or mind, which receives or
comprehends the ideas communicated to it by the senses or by
perception, or by other means; the faculty of thinking; otherwise
called the understanding. A clear intellect receives and
entertains the same ideas which another communicates with
perspicuity.
Insatiable
If someone can't be satisfied, perhaps for food, perhaps for
learning.
Someone who is insatiable can never be full.
It can be used for spiritual as well as physical desires. Swift's traveling Gulliver talks about his "insatiable desire of seeing foreign countries."
