Going Solo

Imperative. For all of us. Once in awhile.

Going solo. Once in awhile. Maybe, always.

You do not have to go solo to go solo. On, the other hand, you do. Another one of those essential paradoxes called ‘life.’

There is a circular relationship between solo, and, not-solo, entangling you with everything, that is, not-you. So, eventually, you can untangle it (you and not-you). You can only do this by going solo.

So, you are forced to go solo, once in awhile, whether you like it or not, and, whether you know it or not. (You already know this, I know, but how did I know it? I am like you).

The Circular Theory explains how we break the law of identity, and the factors of production, by the use of our mind. This is the underlying motivation for physics, philosophy, and psychology. Also, finance, biology and technology.

Forcing all of us, now, to take a much deeper look at how we, personally, and professionally, are using our minds.

Everything is influenced by who decides to go solo, and when. Why they decide to go solo, and where. What happens after, and, especially while, they go solo. And, most important, if they, even, understand what going solo means (it is not always about survival). Going solo just means we have decided to take a much deeper look at ourselves.

We have full control of our observations. And, also, our actions. We decide what to see, and, how to articulate what we see. We decide when it’s time to avoid technological, and interpersonal, chaos. To change what we see, and, maybe, how we see it. We can’t get to our goals, even know what our goals are, without going solo. Once in a while. Maybe, always.

So, whatever your goals are, at the moment, in all of the spheres, disciplines, systems, and age groups, you can’t get things straight, unless you figure out what ‘straight’ is for you. And that’s when you will decide to go solo. Or not.

Circularity (also known as technology) holds everything together, and it, also, blows everything apart. It is how you determine whether your intentions are clear, and, more important, how attention dictates intention, and, ultimately, then, action. You already know this.

So, when you’re ready, to tackle it, further. It’s time. To.

Go. Solo.
