the three permanent constituent elements of human experience:
"the unknown, or unexplored territory;
the known, or explored territory;
and the process; the knower, which mediates between them.
Jordan Peterson
Meaning,
the elusive qualifier of existence that some would die for. It is a phenomenological map created through experience. Happiness and Tragedy the borderlines.
From our birth, we are given our genetic foundations, from there early imprints of love or trauma shape our conceptions, our fear or comfort, our perceived safety or danger.
After that, conditioning through time refines how the world seemingly works, and the final element is learning and unlearning. But the thing is...
The Map is Imagined.
Ultimately all we have are approximations. We are lost in the wilderness but we would rather have an incorrect map than nothing at all. Fear of the unknown can be coped with, with a map.
I think the world would be saner if we realized that ALL of us, especially ourselves, are navigating through life with limited incorrect maps of reality. We all have our own imagined survey of existence. This realization can help create empathy with those you absolutely do not understand.
We all live on the same planet, but at the same time we all live on completely different worlds, each one with its own set of maps.
So with these thoughts in mind I created some imagined maps of other worlds. Hope you like them.
