Curious, yes?
Looking around? A useful strategy for discovery.
You've just tasted a little bit of what it can be like to take part in one of our Events - there's a seemingly ordinary or innocuous element in the world that might, in fact, be discovered to be a portal to something unanticipated. Sometimes you'll need a port key to get through.
Consider how each of these "curiousities" might apply to your group.
There are several of these peppered around this website - see if you can find them!
Here's something that might help further discovery
Mental maps
The map is not the territory
Maps are brilliant! They are a representation of something (I'm tempted to say 'of reality' but you'll probably call me out if you've seen the green spots!). We can use them for finding our way round. We can even use them to imagine what it is like there, without even going there. Theories and models too are maps of a kind. They describe something that might be difficult or impossible to see directly.
But maps, theories and models are flawed - they are impoverished, selective, drawn from a perspective, abstraction. However, we need abstraction to make sense of the complexity of 'reality' (sorry) - imagine if there was no mental filtering and if everything just got into our minds and stayed in conscious awareness all the time! No thanks.
The problem is that we sometimes don't understand our maps or mental models, we believe them to be absolutely true or we forget their limitations. Our mental models can bias us, not only in our observations but also in our decisions, conclusions and behaviours.
