Spectaneuron is a personal process of CiyVP Manjit email. cityvp@ciubmerber org - July 20%It is a beautiful faculty of our supernal being that we can be inspired.  To breath in that which invigorates and renews us.  The limit of inspiration is to treat it as a lung rather than as a being.  Breathing is a two way process that expires as well as inspires.  Like most people I can get caught up in what inspires me while treating the process of what expires from me as the messy outcome of inspiration as work.

Something is working in me when I am inspired but only I determine how that works in me and whether that leads to strong or weak expiration.  We can be inspired by the people we love and lose in our life journey, as we are most definitely inspired by the voices of the past, which we do not look upon as being dead.  Inspiring and expiring is however more than just input and output.

When I read Milos's comment prior to it, we shared this idea of the fractal.  In my interest in emergence, the fractal is a natural fit, but Milos's comment made me realize is that the fractal belongs to mathematics, not unto itself.  Which then reminded me of the origins of Benoit Mandelbrot and who he he was - not a "fractalogist" but a mathematician. 
Inspiration
This brings mathematics, science and art together as an emergence. The caricature of that is what I call "Emeri Gent" and when that becomes a palace in my own mind, I am no longer concerned about my brand, or my image, or my identity but can focus my attention on what the act of inspiration personally effects me and in the expiration of inspiration if the transformation is actually a change or simply an adjustment.

As I begun this particular reflection, I mentioned "supernal being" and this is an important distinction personally for me because I do not treat supernal and spiritual as the same thing. What inspired me about the comment Milos made was that it reinforced the connection between mathematics and beauty, and why I need to peel away mathematics as an expression of beauty and life from the commercial processes such as economics, statistics, finance and analytics.  The inspiration therefore is rescuing mathematics from this lesser view of math.

Mathematics describes nature, but we nurture the math of success and urban investment. That is how I was viewing math, even though I have myself commented about the relationship between mathematics and beauty.  This what shines through the words of Mandelbrot even though this video does not show the visuals - his words alone remain inspiring.

If we are inspired but not breathing then we turn inspiration back into gas.  If we are breathing but not transforming we are wasting the quality of our own breath, if we transforming but not inspired we are creating transformation that is not whole.  If we are whole but continue to live in a divided village - then we continue to look for inspiration.  This is the greatest waste of energy.

Energy applied is not instruction, it is a practice and what I engage here is a practice.  We are inspired by leaders but not by our own practice of leadership.  We are happy to point out disorder in the world but hard pushed to ask ourselves whether we have contributed in any way to that disorder.  When inspiration leads us to be inspired by finger pointing we are not treating inspiration as a practical wisdom, but simply touching the cloak of another - turning inspiration into a form of idolatry.  I can hear the reality of pedestal seekers because they are merely inspired us by their image and projections.  So long as we live in that world our fingers point at it and so we become experts of its darkness, rather than students of our own inspiration.

Dear Gert, like breath for sure. Yes we give the breath of life for those who cannot breath, but if we are drowning in our own media that is something that can be transformed by awareness rather than breath. So much so we attribute inspiration to the act of drowning rather than as an energy which we can convert into the energy of action. If inspiration is a continuous improvement then we have utilized the energy of inspiration, but if we make of it a medicine then we must change the way we breath, because there is plenty of energy giving media - why then drown in an overload, when inspiration is wasted and Ali Anani's comment about turning inspiration back into gas is where I am with my thinking and action learning and more importantly the creation of a life in flow. Ali Anani's comment #8 is where I also am in viewing inspiration as an energy rather than a medication.

Dear Anees for me inspiration is a bit more than it being ours, which is important in owning inspiration, but there is also a difference I am reflecting upon between the virtue of inspiration and inspiration as a medication https://www.bebee.com/producer/@cityvp/the-virtue-of-inspiration and this is about how we touch inspiration and its short-term and long-term outcomes.

Dear Anees when it comes to my divergent hives for my own personal learning journey, I also have convergent hives such as college toastmasters or tottenham which are additional forms of societal energy - where I speak of 10 personal energies and 1 societal energy - the hives below express this and the affinity here is for my own learning. I do not expect others to follow my divergent hives because they have not been built for following but presence, where the presence is my personal learning journey. Affinity that is convergent are not these hives, including the Brown hive which is exploration of my relationship to societal energy: https://www.bebee.com/group/white https://www.bebee.com/group/gray https://www.bebee.com/group/black https://www.bebee.com/group/red https://www.bebee.com/group/naranja https://www.bebee.com/group/yellow https://www.bebee.com/group/green https://www.bebee.com/group/blue https://www.bebee.com/group/indigo https://www.bebee.com/group/violet https://www.bebee.com/group/brown

Dear Anees the important thing as a reminder for me is that I remind myself that I have memory. Once I remind myself that I have space between where memory has filled, then I can either transform the memory or keep reminding myself of the memory. The memory you acquired came through your senses and even if events, situations or moments were totally duplicate, how I sense the world is unique to how you sense it - but what we do with inspiration is work on memory and not reminder that we have memory. This means the inspiration we breath in is not working on the present moment, it is working on the past - or in the case of a dreamer in the future. It is the present that creates the future not our dreams of future which are pulled from memory, it is the present that transforms us because it renews the past and not our memories of the past - hence the word "renaissance". Inspiration is a part of flow - and the way Anees Zaidi flows is you breath in and out - your lung, your heart, your stomach, your brain i.e. everything that is within you. My flow is within me and this simple point can be squashed by what it is we know. What we can have in the present moment is an affinity - not my memory or perception of Anees Zaidi or my following of you - but my affinity with you is based in appreciation - appreciation of your flow, of your presence. Once inspired you own that flow, it's yours. My flows are here when it comes to my renaissance - and while hives have been defined by BeBee as collective affinity, my affinity is in my personal learning journey - so I see hives differently and accordingly affinity as 10 personal energies and 1 societal energy.
