Goal

Something which usually might be described as being

  • Freedom
  • Truth
  • Happiness
  • Zufriedenheit

Strategy

  1. Reducing insecurities
  2. Creating perspectives

Tool: an illustrative map of the world, to create some sort of order. Order can reduce insecurities and show space and opportunities for perspectives:

  • what is going on?
  • where would I like to go?

The map should:

  • not be judgemental (it does not define good and bad things)
  • not be unique (there are many other ways to look at the world)
  • cover many important aspects of the (human) world
  • be simple and illustrative
If consequently one experiences a moment with reduced insecurities and some perspectives, this moment might be experienced in a way maybe describable as:
  • Freedom
  • Truth
  • Happiness
  • Zufriedenheit

Such a moment probably can occur doing one of many quite different activities, like:

  • playing a melody on a flute
  • moving ones body
  • cleaning the kitchen table
  • walking to the tree

Map

The proposed map consist of two houses and other elements representing:

  • One house: one individual (you)
  • Other house: the social environment (your family, your friend, the people of your village, ...)
  • The ways leading to the houses: man made infrastructure (farms, fields, streets, school houses, political structures, juris diction, bridges, ...)
  • The ground: earth, rocks, planets, space
  • The tree: living nature
  • The goat: complex organisms (animals, humans, ...)

Application

Maybe if one reflects on this kind of map from time to time, it might create the order in one's mind, as was intended initially.Over time, every individuals map will probably change .

Levels of the house

Ground floor (all tangible things of an individual, e.g. you):

  • body (muscles, bones, brain, ...)
  • air, water, food
  • tools (chair, car, computer, AI, book, flute, money, ...)
  • infrastructure (room, water supply, fire place, ...)
  • institutions (school lecture, political party, barber appointment, ...)

First floor (emotion):

  • happiness, envy, anger, stress, ...

Second floor (intellect):

  • language (french, latin, numbers, ...)
  • theoretical structures (mathematics, physics, ...)

Third floor

  • if there is a state of mind, which is neither emotion nor intellect, its this

Above the house

  • if there is something which was not covered so far in the map, maybe this it the place to put it on the map

General note: first, second and third floor do not contain any things like chairs, books, rocks, plants. Only the ground floor is in contact with the tangible things.
