Prelude to something *new

Before I start sharing what i been making, I thought to myself, why dont we take a moment to share w/ everyone two important choices, options that you have along the way, of which, prior to (that is, when you are young and you are just going through life... per usual) you are to experience everything As,
something like this - "First i do this, then i do this, then i do this... etc, etc"

Like thats what we see,  yet we feel  as though our experiences, our interpretations of, hold weight, when the truth is something that should present itself (χρὴ αὐτὸ ἑαυτὸ φανερῶσαι) on the macrocosmic scale (if to distill truth). Ergo it depends on whether you want to distill truth or not, OR if you are taking a break per this istemi towards, again, its a simple choice, but its weighed between these two choices. That is to ask, further more, should macrocosmic truth be stressed beyond an already enlightened and conscious cosmic truth? There's a spectrum that makes both choices part of one whole, one answer. And i give yous this, cause its just good to always know it, very directly. i mean, it should be very prominent to yous by now, via me.

Paraphrase from Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum): "... that which is in the Word is also in ourselves."

Greek Magical Papyri (PGM): "I call upon the Word of the All, that which binds heaven and earth, and let it manifest in the circle."

Plato – Cratylus (439–440): "A name is a likeness of the thing itself; if rightly spoken, it carries the essence of what it names."

I’m sorry but this is genuinely unreadable. There might be an interesting idea underneath it, but it’s buried under layers of unnecessary abstraction, parentheticals, invented terminology, and sentences that keep changing direction before they ever land.

I have to stop and reverse-engineer what you’re even trying to say instead of being able to read it. “Istemi towards,” “macrocosmic truth,” “enlightened and conscious cosmic truth,” etc. are being introduced without enough definition or structure for the reader to distinguish what any of these concepts actually mean.

If the point is that there are two ways of relating to experience, living through the sequence of events versus stepping back and trying to distill some larger truth from them, just say that.

You’re making the reader excavate the argument instead of communicating it. Whatever the underlying idea is, the current text makes it almost impossible to access.

Also, check out what Gibson talks about with affordances. There’s something relevant there about how language should make the intended action/interpretation available to the person encountering it, rather than forcing them to reconstruct the entire conceptual machinery first.
