"Ad infinitum?"
Description
Despite the inherent nonexistence of time itself, our perception often vacillates between envisioning it as boundless, stretching infinitely, and the practical recognition that, in reality, we should regard it as scarce."
~Me :)
TIME IS SCARCE
Time is insufficient, limited, and scarce. Therefore, I must allocate all my attention, energy, and value to it. Why? Because the duration of my perception or what I term my life in quantity remains uncertain.
Do I contemplate this? Yes, but for me, it's intricately linked to purpose. If my time, whether limited or unknown, lacks purpose and direction, making decisions on how to invest in it becomes challenging.
Consider my day-to-day time management. How much of it is devoted to rest, nurturing, and regenerating energy? This falls under the category of living a wholesome life. I avoid using the word health, as civilization often implies something is amiss in some isolated part of our bodies. Failing to see life as a holistic and wholesome apparatus that needs harmonization within its wavelength and alignment with the environment isn't clear to many. The environment allows individuals to measure or corroborate their purpose and direction.
I have casually mentioned facilitating study groups in past posts. I must share that this environment I've created has magnetized the right situations for the integration of my overall behavior, thus I started exploring extremes looking for rhythm, and leading by example. It has provided the opportunity to use tenacity and provocation as channeled energy to inspire others into emotional awareness—not to mold them in my image but to realign with their purpose.

By creating situations for dialogue and learning from new perspective, I embody how I economize my precious, irreversible resource—time.
The time I won't have available to dedicate represents time lost, thus creating an opportunity cost. This limitation or absence is what bestows value on the opportunity of producing something, as everything necessitates time for its creation. —
Economizing time and economizing action will be explored further in subsequent texts, particularly delving into time preference.
Understanding how our individual actions shape our ability to savor the enigmatic dimension of time raises the question: How much time do I have to live a purposeful life?"
Navigating the Tapestry of Optimism:
In my journey to utilize Bitcoin as a synthesis of various practices I've previously applied in my life or am currently exploring, I'm unraveling the mysteries of how Austrian Economics, Jungian psychology, human design, evolutionary astrology, and additional studies on time cycles, such as Geometry, both quantitative and qualitative, interweave. Sometimes, they reaffirm each other, while other times, they present contrasting notes, offering me a glimpse into how to navigate and integrate all my new knowledge. Most importantly, I'm figuring out how to put it into practice. As my main aspiration in life is to evolve, it might require a touch of revolution too.
Observing the fascinating connections that thread through these intellectual landscapes— which I find captivating, elegant, and full of depth, sheds light on the intricate interplay between our conscious choices, subjective preferences, and the su
