Sensing Circuit (Abstract)

The abstract circuit of the Collective group. Its key is sharing: it lives through experience, makes sense of the past and shares stories that others learn from.

Experience instead of proof

If logic looks to the future, the abstract circuit makes sense of the past. It is experiential: it lives on desires and unforeseen situations, goes through the experience — and only afterwards understands what it meant. “I've lived through this. I was there and did it. All you need to do is listen to me.” Life rests on logic, but it is lived through abstract cycles.

The Collective group

Together with the logical circuit, it forms the Collective group with the key of sharing: the Collective shares what it has lived through so that humanity can move forward. Between them is a dance of yesterday (sensing and abstraction) and tomorrow (understanding and logic), and out of this tension comes stability: “If everything is fine, don't change anything.”

Channels

Abstraction (64–47), Curiosity (11–56), Recognition (41–30), Transitoriness (36–35), Maturation (53–42), Discovery (29–46) and The Prodigal (13–33). They lead from the pressure of a past not yet understood — through the desire for new experience, immersion in it and the completion of the cycle — to memories and wisdom that can be shared.

Pitfalls

Throwing yourself into experience for its own sake, sharing what you have been through with everyone you meet before clarity has come. Waiting for an invitation to tell your story means developing sensitivity to others.

Your story becomes wisdom when you live it through to the end and share it at the right time.
