NOTES on Unpacking the notions of Kairos and Near Enemies
Kairos= a radical, alternative sense of Time; Chronological Time is just one small feature, certainly not the defining way
KAIROS allows a reversal in causality, appearance
Objects may appear before their obvious use
The power of the amorphous, diaphanous, unmeasurable
~Seasonal. Feral
Implications are Seismic! And elusive! Ends the fearful tyranny of the Rational, the false superiority of the Logical;
Kairos is essentially many forces working at once: Blurrng3/5D, Shamanic w Daily the Sacred in Ordinary
There's a perpetual Potency, tho changng valence, of BirthStory, traumas, Teachers, Parent
Supraconscious forces Archetypes, Near Enemies time in Arc of History
Supraconscious events Just now realizing the consequences of what happened outside your consciousness and planning and perhaps permission
Kairos Values are different: Slow, Inefficient, Idyl, Casual, Humofr in its many forms is a key way to communicateHumor is a Multi-tool
Always at Altars? Hangng, Piles, QUIET INFLUENCE! Healing? What gods? What favors?

Intrinsic Maturatn/primalizatn w shifts X loss in capacities senses, balance gait How to Inhabit Time James A K Smith see ACC
Kairos is intimately connected to our needs: how we percieve them and how we act on them:
Needs Joy, Wonder, Being Feral, Risking, Making things, Being w Others be an Outsider? Other lurking needs? privacy? Recognition? Guilt?, Shame? Betrayal? Order?
Materials are a way into Kairos, a 'language.
Learn it and see what happens!
Making Things is a Way
to Play!
to Adjust and Update Your Story
to Encounter the Spiritual, the Sacred
to Feed deferred Needs
to Develop innate capacities for
Wonder (awe, mystery, “feeling in”)
Dexterity (transforming, hand-spirit, Infinite Play),
Stories (how you fit into the world),
The Organic/Sensual/Feral
Near Enemies A rush past gradations, murmurings
as Visitors, gifts to/from you Always There, Disguised
Spiritual ClickBait, look alikes tied to
quik binary thinking 2-Speed Thinking
Same Stuff “Cooks” every day, ferments, simmers, different quality
Seems a self-evident value, ways…invites Judgement Justifies, easy to dehumanize/demonize the Other; Kristoff
Approach with a light touch; don’t let them set the tone HILLMAN!
“Helping”offering rules and directions as aggression/controlling, enfantizing, disabling “Just trying to help” What thought to be supportive was actually undermining autonomy.
“Planning” undercuts, manages, tidies the Moment’Disguised CONTROL/Power
Allow the other to direct, feel competent By NOT always correcting, having“a better idea”
“Logic: “Logic” Binary Thinking,
“Useful” is NE of /sacred/soulcosmic;
“Happying!” giddy, trilling listing of what you like 2-Speeds Other is Sad? Needs Fixing??
“organizing” is self-aggrandizing Showcasing YOUR Talenty… See ME, Admire ME maintains Distance/Depression
“Sentimentality” Hallmarkism “Longing” for Old Ways! Christmas Music: Atlantic Hides/Delays energy of New Ways
“Work” is NE of Play
