Modes of ^Symbol

Welcome to the ^First chapter of ^Beautiful and necessary modes for our ~mind~.  It has taken both ^Hard ~work~ and ~inspiration~ and my very ^Best ~intuition~ and ~outlook~ so that I may ^Share this ~variety~ of modes and ^Wrestle them into neat little chapters.  My ~goal~ in some broad ~sense~ has ^Become to ^Gather and ^Hold the ~variety~ of modes which should ^Present in ourselves and others. 

^How often do we ^Say, ^Wow, that is ~crazy~!?  Or we may ^Think, We ^Need to ^Stop or ^Avoid that!  Or, We ^Need to ^Stay ~far~ away from that!  We ^Express ~shock~ about our ~environment~ or ~one-another~ ^Immediately after we ^Notice something. 

But it was not ~crazy~.  It was only a mode and that means that we are ~wonderful~ yet have suffered through something ~hard~.  And in the ~strength~ of our modes we survived and thrived from it all!  I am ~happy~ to ^Say that (in ~purpose~ of The Book of ^MESH) not only is it our ~habit~ to ^See the craziness, but it is also our ~chance~ to ^Notice the ~best~ in us.  And most critically to our success we can ^Find a ~way~ to ^Love it. 

Do we ^See it ~as~ ~crazy~ or ~as~ the ~best~?  ^As we ^Yield from the ~charge~ of our opinion in ~judgment~ and ^Seek to ^Merge those ^Two ^Opposite ~ideas~ a ~miracle~ of emergence occurs.  In ~fact~ it ~works~ to ^Be both.  We can ^Always ^Take something ~crazy~ about ourselves and (re-)^Describe it ~as~ ~important~ and ~useful~. 

Once we can ^Say that it is ~useful~ ^Rather than ~crazy~, it may ^Become easy to ^See that that is ~what-it-is~ exactly!!!  For ~MESH~, we all may ^Take ~aim~ to ^Love ourselves and all of our ^Active modes.  In ~truth~, ~as~ a ~subject~ and objects in ~relation~, you and they are worthy of ~praise~.  Once we ^Find and ^Feel it in ~empathy~ ^Together in this ~way~, we may ^Hope ^Fruitfully to ^Find some time to ^Connect with ~one-another~ about it too.  We can't admire the ^Needless suffering from it but from that past suffering we may ^Become ^Grateful for it. 

Just ~as~ easily we could ^Blur our ~judgment~ ^Like a ~merge~ in ~reverse~: we could ^Take our ^Best ~talent~ and then ^Explore just ^How ~crazy~ it is ~instead~.  It is ~great~ for a ~giggle~ or ~laugh~.  We ^See so much ^More than we ^Understand, but we can ^Be ^Grateful nonetheless. 

Here are some ^Important modes of ^Symbol: ^DRY-KISS, ^Model, ^Swap, ^Permute, ^Forget, ^Remember and ^Turtles.  These modes are universal and necessary. 

The modes of ^Symbol ^Tend to ^Cause oversimplification or ^Enigmatic obfuscation but without them, we couldn't ^Think about ourselves, others or our world.  So we may ^Care to ^Moderate their ~use~. 

^Now ^Let us ^Start this romance with all of our modes with a kiss!
