Beauty


Conceptual impressions surrounding this article are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context, network or post.

Focusing from the point of view of a creative observer, ideas describing the concept of Beauty appear to be founded upon subjective preference/attraction/coherence and resonance. This subjective POV functions in conjunction with an objective circumstance often considered representative of long held conventions and/or cultural mores. In other words, every situation implies there will emerge a point of focus, a position or observation made in reference to that POV.  These points of view are the products of certain impressions, partially or wholly made in reference to the observer's perspective. These points of view/observations are the sum total of certain symbolic impressions to which we personally resonate. These impressions/vibratory frequencies may be mental, emotional, physical or spiritual in context and content, they may also be any aggregate of the same. 

Observation relies upon components (designs) which are symbolic in origin and character, vibratory impressions both embraced and expressed by means of correspondences. We all experience this dynamic, observing and labeling it as being real within in a framework made conscionable by virtue of the symbolism we shroud upon all we witness.

correspondence | ˌkôrəˈspändəns, ˌkärəˈspändəns | noun   1 a close similarity, connection, or equivalence: correlation, agreement, consistency, compatibility, consonance, conformity, similarity, resemblance, parallel, comparability, accord, concurrence, coincidence.

Written by Louis Charron
"There is something very satisfying for our brains in the fusion of an emotional experience and a rational experience. Emotional and rational experiences both play a fundamental role in our cognition and our decision-making process. As neuroscientist Antonio Damasio writes “emotion is integral to the process of reasoning”. In other words: through emotions, facts resonate within us."

The singularity from which we view our world is a reflection of what we've designed for ourselves as being "real". We are aware of our own presence by virtue of these symbolic reflections, qualities we ourselves manifest in order to substantiate a meaning and purpose to and in our lives. Design is the process we implement at subconscious levels to close the loop between the conscious and the unconscious/the known and the unknown. Design creates the bridge that brings balance to what we know and what we don't know. Our journey is an undertaking we design for ourselves, a path we each create for our own journey. 

What you project is a symbolic re-presentation of your own concept/idea/impression of who you are, what you believe in, what you know, how you feel, etc. all bundled together into how you might best present yourself to your self/psyche (subjectively) and others (objectively). You are the designer. 





You participate in the Creation  
simply by knowing 
your own creation is true  

You design every moment whether asleep or awake. You function in a world designed with its own meaning and purpose meant to be revealed by means of a blueprint and guidelines (signs and symbols) you choose and create for yourself. The challenge is to expand in awareness by learning who you are with an understanding and wisdom that will always be changing. It is imperative that you know and realize that your creations are part of a greater context (field) from which they are being observed. 

Establishing a coherence with Life substantiates the experience/s you encounter every day. There is a meaning and a purpose in maintaining an intimate sense of balance. The objective: finding the complementary chords/vibrations between elements/agents of Life. Fulfillment is found by experiencing the harmony you've purposely and meaningfully created for yourself. 

Harmony and balance are dependent one's capacity to focus upon the symbols of Life.

All that is beautiful brings balance to Life. This attraction is the basic impulse that underscores the attainment of a designed consciousness. Resonance with Beauty brings balance to Design. Likened to beauty design can be observed and absorbed in a fashion clearly balanced, discovered and felt.   

Beauty re-presents an intuitive force and attraction, a feeling of one's own innate awareness, a fulfillment made observable in reference to one's own search for Truth and Goodness.

"The Good is the Beautiful."
Plato

" The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."

Energy is targeted around every point of focus, i.e. center, and vibrates with every observation. Your point of focus is magnetic, attracting re-presentations of comparable frequency and dimensional octave. In this manner your idea of Beauty complements all that share in the same vibration. Beauty is all about vibrational energy as are the concepts of Truth and Goodness - all are based upon coherent resonance.

Love might be viewed as the ultimate congealing agent, i.e. an augmentation responsive to catalytic activity emerging between elements. Every relationship reveals a kind of vibratory cognizance that can either fragment or unify the relationship. Together these impressions give precedence to certain qualifications by means of  sharing a common field of expression, design or intention. 

It is readily apparent that we all share in a design that might be described as a human Presence/Consciousness. One might describe this state of awareness as an integrated byproduct of a greater Intelligence, an unknown vector/force/s that makes itself present by what IS known. For a fact, all that can be sensed is vibratory in nature, as are the frequencies/fields we've coined and labeled as mind, matter, emotion and yes, even spirit. 

Theories supporting what has been collectively labeled as a quantum framework, attempt to elucidate upon a frequency/field that exists just beyond the reach of our cognizance and understanding. Some define this reflective state of awareness as being metaphysical in nature. Likened to quicksilver, we just can't seem to pin this realm of re-cognition down within the current scientific strappings that surround our consciousness. When appropriately linked, energyin-form-ation can appear to resonate to a relatively untapped condition of awareness defined as the subconscious. This appears as a field of energy just beyond mind's reach; a kind of awareness that vibrates at a higher frequency and greater magnitude than wakeful consciousness.  This dimension communicates to us symbolically and through metaphor.

Sharing creates certain frequency patterns (programs) that when vibrating in unison,establish a vibratory matrix designed for adaptability and communications. This is a network based upon commonly shared vibratory threads. These attractive forces appear to originate from a central core or point of origin, a well spring, or primordial resource, if you will; a mindful awareness in the process of unifying a microcosmic derivative of its own intelligence within a moment of 3D space/time. 

Are we mindful products/designs of this same imaginative Intelligence? Are we active participants in a symbolic design exercise, avatars of our own making, co- creators experiencing situations where the parts and the whole are actually one in the same? The design in support of this premise invites benevolent change at a rate never before experienced solely for the reason that change is not only an integral part required for expansion, but also for the reason that such a macro re-presentation of consciousness is more apt to survive the throws of perpetual expansion. This is how every resourceful form of intelligence might best be viewed, interpreted and sustained in the future.


Are we participants in the creation of a specific kind of beauty made sentient within the constraints of a particular strata of 3D space/time?  Is evolution a design process that allows us to become cognizant of our own reality/beauty by means of attaining certain degrees/levels of awareness (vibration)? Doesn't this validate the fact that this is a choice of our own making? Does the quantum field/experience afford us the opportunity to learn more about design as co-creators? Beauty reveals a multitude of hidden treasures veiled within the presence of every sensation. Collectively these radiant impressions harbor the potential for creating a harmonious balance between all the senses. 




Beauty is patterned about the focus of the observer. Beauty is made known by means of an observation made in reference to a particular context or field. Beauty re-presents itself in the form of a reflection, a quality found to be an integral part of every observation. Hence the phrase, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Beauty, Truth and Goodness will remain hidden if not symbolically represented within the blueprint of the observer/designer. 

Truth, Beauty and Goodness are ascriptions, each acting as a catalyst for the other. Beauty is the electricity that underlies the magnetism required to draw (attract) the likenesses of Beauty into the conscious field of the observer. Each ascription harbors a comparable electricity (frequency) hidden within a personal quantum field of unimaginable potential. Each ascription harbors an attraction of its own, relishing the opportunity to create the spark that brings forth a magnetic field that surrounds them. Truth, Beauty and Goodness have an inherent attraction to each other. Together they create a purity beyond re-cognition.

Beauty might be described as a derivation emerging from a common field, patterns of energy multidimensionally linked together to bring sustenance/energy/form before the consciousness of the observer. Beauty can be both tangible and intangible. Beauty is felt by virtue of a harmonious resonance between the observer and the context in which that particular "idea of beauty" is observed. Beauty is both recognized and reflected from within the conscious field of the observer. 

Truth, Beauty and Goodness can be found if you stand down and observe yourself from within.

Like most everything in the universe Beauty might best be described as a particular pattern of energy-in-motion. We've apparently "designed" these archetypal states of awareness for our own purposes, each having their own meaning and purpose. Together we've vaguely interpreted and given collective relevance to that which we feel is representative of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Bottom line is we define our concept of reality from within our core Truth, a center surrounded by a mental, emotional and physical field symbolically characterized as being human. (Kama/Manas)

Energy of every kind of human distinction/frequency moves through every idea of reality we've ever had, while simultaneously changing or reinforcing every experience along the way. You possess the power to willfully focus on and discover what is beautiful, what is truthful and what is good by choice. These are conscious decisions based upon intelligence, resonance, experience, meaning and purpose. 

You are imprinted with thoughts, feelings, and experiences along with multitude of belief systems that instill and perpetuate them. Quantum consciousness expands upon the concept of multidimensionality.

In order to design within a multi-dimensional field (quantum) one must take the POV of both a particle and a wave. 

An idea stemming from your imagination willfully allows you to be guided and/or directed by virtue of your own efforts. These multidimensional images emerge from within the vapors of a quantum field of change/energy, images which harbor the potential of becoming real in a manner that could never be imagined.

Designing with the brain in mind: A deep dive into neuroaesthetics     
by Martina Sartor in UX Collective  July 3, 2023
"When we see something beautiful, different parts of our brain work together to process this experience. The orbitofrontal cortex, which helps handle our emotions, gets more active when we see things we find pleasing. At the same time, the visual cortex, which manages the things we see, 'communicates' with the orbitofrontal cortex, making the experience even more enjoyable.
There's also the ventromedial prefrontal cortex that checks how much we value what we're seeing based on our personal likes an past experiences.  And then we have the anterior cingulate cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex. They make sure our emotional response fits with the beauty we're seeing, making the experience even stronger."

“Supersymmetry, if correct, will be a profound new embodiment of beauty in the world. Because the transformations of supersymmetry turn substance particles into force particles, and vice versa, supersymmetry can explain, based on symmetry, why neither of those things can exist without the other: Both are the same thing, seen from different perspectives. Supersymmetry reconciles apparent opposites, in the spirit of yin-yang.”

* * *
Quantum levels of consciousness harbor the opportunity for affective change by means of facilitating the energy, light and information required for manifestation. Every reality is a unique expression of its own, patterns of vibration (energy in motion) whose core impulses/impressions are reflected from within its own contextual realm of awareness. 

Truth, Beauty and Goodness each describe an aspect of the Design Archetype. Each is transformative by nature. Together they create a principled framework for human evolution. Beauty can be felt and made apparent subjectively, collectively and at the same moment.* Beauty can be and felt at the same time and in the same space - signs and symbols designed to effectively and affectively contain and direct a transfer of energy in motion, light and information between resources within the context being observed.** 

* Being in the moment has major quantum ramifications. Beauty allows the concepts of space and time to be subjectively, collectively and instantaneously contained in the moment. Beauty has the power to complement both the known and the unknown by means of enacting one's consciousness to fully observe, focus and respond to the observable, the unobservable and the unknown. Beauty in any form, is endowed with the power and ability to purposely and meaningfully tap into humanity's full potential at levels never before experienced. In Beauty, Truth and Goodness will unhesitatingly follow.

This vague impression appears to be holographic in character. It represents a concept or idea that may or may not resonate within the structure/field of your own psyche. By being a creator/designer by means of reflection you possess the option to accept, reject or change everything before you.

** Hopefully you have begun to realize that the observer and the what is being observed are one in the same. What is created and what is observed are designed and brought forward by the imagination into a multidimensional/quantum field of energy-in-motion - a turbulent field of perpetual change. 




The concept of as above so below is centered about a common vibrational force (idea) purposely cast into this quantum field solely to discover the most appropriate path towards making it real, i.e. manifestation. This is part of the design process and its active implementation of sign, symbol and metaphor. 

Beauty aligns energy. Beauty brings balance by means of its symmetry between meaning and purpose. Beauty anchors awareness by design. Beauty is of the highest order, an expression of purity forged into its most appropriate and relative form. Beauty is a conduit, an expression of love unifying all within its aura. Beauty once observed is always felt.

At this time in our evolution Beauty remains the strongest stalwart of the three axioms supporting the concept of Design. Truth and Goodness may be individually discovered, but neither are as easily felt, collectively apparent and powerful as Beauty. 

Truth and Goodness are easily cloaked, seemingly unreachable and often hidden from observation, whereas Beauty is more readily sensed merely by being in its Presence.

An Introduction to Design Thinking


Conceptual impressions surrounding this article are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context, network or post. Objective: To generate symbolic links between scientific discovery, design awareness and consciousness.

Design thinking is the new normal.


It is best to begin our investigation into design and the design process by considering the fact there are certain principles proven to be self-evident when observing the concept of design from a human level of consciousness. These postulates create a foundation from which we can base future investigations into design. They form a set of guidelines from which a greater understanding of design can be woven and made functional. These postulates are flexible and harbor many opportunities for change and advancement. It remains up to you to determine if you share such points of view. 
postulate suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief 2 (in ecclesiastical law) nominate or elect (someone) to an ecclesiastical office subject to the sanction of a higher authority, a thing suggested or assumed as true as the basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief  Mathematics an assumption used as a basis for mathematical reasoning.

An important note to consider when contemplating upon design is the realization that in some fashion, we've all been "conditioned" in how to view the world and ourselves. This simple fact is inescapable. Our culture, environment, society, institutions, including our family and friends, all contribute to the formation of our belief system. Our points of view (POV) are strongly rooted in how we've been trained and taught to perceive ourselves and others.





Belief systems construct patterns in our minds and give precedence to certain viewpoints concerning reality. These POV contain ideas * we have chosen to believe as containing certain indisputable truths. Belief systems also harbor the tendency to limit knowledge by negating and/or ignoring certain issues that support the beliefs of others. In essence, belief systems assist us in making certain choices in the attempt to make sense of the world. 




Unfortunately, belief systems can't include every point of view … they aren’t meant to. Some belief systems make it difficult to reach beyond our own self-imposed constraints. Some distort and/or impose their perspective upon the many natural systems made evident in the universe/environment that surrounds us. Many belief systems are highly influential and controlling. Yet every system has its own interpretation concerning issues that surround the concept of "truth" in addition to what is perceived to be real. Yet design thinking brings to our attention the fact that everything is connected ... including every belief system imaginable.

Humanity is an integral participant in the manifestation of energy, light and information into its most appropriate form within the constraints of 3D space/time.

Pre-requisite: An open heart and an open mind
First of all, in order to fully explore the mystery behind the meaning and purpose of design thinking it is imperative that we possess an open mind and an open heart. This position is instrumental in both creating and perceiving the multitude of relationships that can be discovered between elements, experiences and/or events. Design’s symbiotic quality also possesses the capacity to subjectively personify relationships in a manner that can effectively change life's experiences. Each relationship offers a meaningful expression between countless issues brought to light as the result of every situation. 

If we become aware of the multitude of symbolic associations brought before our consciousness, we should also be capable of learning from them. This requires that we possess sensitivity to the patterns that emerge in life as result of these designed relationships. 




It’s the relationship between elements that is of greatest importance. It is why design thinking is the catalyst behind all creative thought.



Consciousness cannot eliminate the simple fact that the concept of awareness is something we all possess, and that what we think and feel are reflections of who we are. Sensitivity to design thinking by virtue of its symbolic power, becomes appreciated once an awareness of its function and meaning becomes felt and experienced by virtue of a synchronistic moment. Life is our instructor, and design helps create the on-going lesson plan for us to follow.

* * *

This text touches on several deep and interconnected themes around design thinking, belief systems, consciousness, and the human experience.
  
1. The Foundation of Design Thinking 
The idea of design principles as self-evident truths forms the groundwork of this investigation, acting as a cornerstone upon which future discussions can be based. These "postulates" are assumptions made to guide understanding, rooted in the essence of human consciousness. From a broader perspective, these foundational truths are the lenses through which we make sense of the world and its complexity. 

In this context, design thinking is not just a process of creating artifacts, but a lens through which we interpret and relate to the world. The principles or postulates mentioned here are flexible, adaptable, and subject to change, emphasizing that design is a living process — a continual evolution, not a static entity. It’s crucial to acknowledge that, as individuals, we each bring our own interpretation of design, based on our unique understanding and worldview. 

The mention of these postulates sets the tone for an ongoing inquiry into design, positioning it as a dynamic system, not a one-time solution, which can flex and adapt to new challenges. 

2. The Role of Belief Systems in Shaping Perspective 
A key concept in this text is the idea that belief systems play a pivotal role in shaping how we see the world, and by extension, how we approach design. Our perspective is shaped by a combination of cultural conditioning, societal influences, and personal experiences. These belief systems are not merely passive ways of thinking; they are active forces that dictate our worldview and therefore influence our decisions — particularly in creative and design processes. 

Belief systems offer structure and meaning, yet they also limit knowledge and perspective by presenting certain viewpoints as truths and dismissing others. This limitation becomes particularly important in the context of design thinking because, for effective design, one must be willing to transcend the constraints imposed by these self-imposed boundaries. It is this tension between the comfort of our established beliefs and the expansiveness of alternative perspectives that fuels creativity. Design thinking offers a way to challenge these belief systems, suggesting that by embracing flexibility and openness, we can create more inclusive, holistic designs that transcend the limitations of personal or cultural perspectives. 

In other words, belief systems frame the reality we navigate, yet they are not absolute. Design offers a tool for breaking through these boundaries, opening up new possibilities for understanding and engaging with the world. 

3. The Influence of Consciousness in Design 
The relationship between consciousness and design is another central theme in this passage. Consciousness is presented as the universal thread that connects all humans, the vehicle through which we process, interpret, and make sense of the world. By acknowledging that awareness is intrinsic to all humans, design thinking invites a broader, more inclusive approach that honors both the subjective and collective nature of human experience. 

The text emphasizes that design is a manifestation of energy, light, and information — concepts that transcend mere material forms and touch upon deeper aspects of existence. This view suggests that design thinking isn't just about creating physical objects or structures; it’s about creating meaningful relationships between energy (ideas, emotions, inspiration) and form (physical, visual, conceptual). 

This idea aligns with contemporary holistic design thinking practices, which see design as a tool for human flourishing — not merely creating functional products, but enhancing the human experience itself through mindful and intentional creation. 

4. The Importance of Relationships in Design 
A central idea expressed here is that design is about relationships, not isolated components. The relationship between elements — whether physical, emotional, or conceptual — is the true essence of design. Every object, experience, or interaction in the world can be viewed as part of an interconnected web of relationships. It’s in these connections where design has its greatest impact. 

This expands on the idea that design thinking is about systems, not isolated events or things. By embracing the symbiotic nature of design, we open ourselves to the possibility that everything is connected, and that design is an ongoing process of negotiation and alignment between parts. The text hints at synchronistic moments where design comes to life, and these can only be understood and appreciated when one is attuned to the underlying relationships that shape them. 

Design thinking, as a catalyst for creative thought, enables us to see not only the tangible elements but the intangible threads that link them. Whether it’s the relationship between a product and its user, or between different cultural perspectives, design thinking helps us understand the patterns that emerge from these connections. 

5. The Symbiotic Nature of Design Thinking 
Finally, the symbiotic quality of design is explored in depth. Design, in this context, is viewed as an ongoing conversation — not just between the designer and the user, but between the designer, the environment, society, and the very forces that influence how we perceive and interact with the world. Symbiosis here refers to mutual benefit and understanding between all involved parties, as each element interacts and influences the others in dynamic ways. 

The text invites the reader to see design as a way of navigating life’s experiences, offering us a way to learn from every interaction, every relationship, and every design solution we encounter. The metaphor of life as a teacher and design as the lesson plan suggests that design isn’t just a tool — it’s a way of being in the world, one that encourages growth, learning, and the creation of meaningful, transformative experiences. 

Conclusion 
By framing design thinking as an ongoing investigation grounded in awareness, open-mindedness, and relational understanding, the text underscores its potential as a transformative tool. It is both an individual and collective process, influenced by belief systems and societal structures, but also a deeply personal exploration of connection, meaning, and purpose. Design thinking, in its most refined form, is about creating connections between things, people, and ideas, leading to a more holistic and inclusive approach to understanding and solving the challenges of the world.

Questions: Are you willing to look at your world from a different point of view? Are you willing to put your own beliefs aside in order to consider and/or ponder upon a situation from a different perspective? Are you willing to consider the ramifications that may result from your position? Be honest. Are you willing to purposely open your mind and your heart to the world?

Design thinking brings a certain structure to our journey towards self-awareness. Design thinking supports us along the way by bringing to our attention the de-signposts upon which we make our choices and decisions. Design thinking tugs at an intuitive knowledge and awareness we have seemingly ignored or forgotten. What we deem conscious is the product of a series of patterns we ourselves have created, accepted, substantiated and repeatedly followed over time. What we experience today are the remnants of a series of systems we've designated as worthy of believing.



Design thinking brings meaning and purpose into our lives. It is through design that we discover who we are by conveying to ourselves our true nature. Over time design thinking has demonstrated itself as being the means and the instrument by which we can discover the mysteries of our own soul.

Design thinking encourages us to "wear someone else’s moccasins" by becoming sensitive, aware and willing to accept and adapt to change. The ability to empathize is instrumental in creating the symbolic and complementary connection between elements. As stated earlier, design thinkings' symbolic power has the capacity to personify our relationships by understanding the world in a manner that can intimately affect our life.

Something to know rather than believe in
The following postulates attempt to prepare our mind for material yet to be presented. Each visitor should determine for themselves the beliefs they are willing to bring to the design experience. Please understand that there are no right or wrong POV when it comes to understanding the concept of design. In design thinking there are no right or wrong answers. Each of us will naturally resonate to what we both know and feel to be appropriate for ourselves an impression made in reference to the situation at hand.

There is no need to defend your position in design. Everything is in constant flux so there really is nothing to defend. What was once black can instantly change to become white surrounded by shades of grey. Design thinking brings to light the symbolic correspondences reflecting a universe that can be both measured and hidden. Every elemental represents a pattern of energy unlike anything or anyone else. In every moment every form of energy is in the process of becoming an integral part of a multitude of design patterns never known before to exist.

"Thoughts always seek their freedom, never answering to one master. They seek free rein and free range trying to avoid all restraint. Thoughts transcend time and space allowing themselves to be birthed again and again into new forms. Thoughts can be kept captive like a genie in a bottle but not for long, they always seem to find a way out."
Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

We can only be who we are. We can only believe who we are in the presence of the moment. We can only be sensitive to what we have experienced in the form of a presence partially shackled within the constraints of space and time -no more, no less. This kind of honest introspection is instrumental in bringing enlightenment to the design experience. Truthfulness and integrity are of upmost significance in the virtuous expansion of any consciousness implied human.

“Humanism is a philosophical outlook, but in itself is a minimalist one, deliberately so because a key requirement of it is that individuals should think for themselves about what they are and how they should live. Standardly, a philosophy is a full fleshed-out affair, consisting in a detailed view of the world, of humanity in it, of the relationship between human beings and the world, and with human beings with each other. All the great philosophies have a metaphysics that underwrites the ethics they urge. But humanism requires no commitment to teaching beyond its two fundamental premises, and it imposes no obligations on people other than to think for themselves. Because it does not consist in a body of doctrines and prescriptions, backed by sanctions for believing in the former and not obeying the latter, it is as far from being like a religion as anything could be.”
A.C. Grayling, The God Argument: The Case Against Religion and for Humanism

    There exists a nameless mystery from which all things appear to have their being. All things are alive and an indication of this single Life force. Everything seen and unseen is vibratory in character and resonates into and from this same common source.
    
   Design is universal, multi-dimensional and a symbolic expression of this single force as it resonates in all things seen and unseen. Design thinking qualifies this universal source by means of signs, symbols and metaphor.
    
    
   Design thinking illustrates and describes the process of self-empowerment and self-realization by bringing to our awareness the qualities of a universe of our own making in everything imaginable.
    
   The paths we follow are the manifestations of our dreams and the artful creations of our own lives. Design thinking creates the dimensional structure, i.e. frequency modulation, etc. in which our lives and dreams can be realized in space/time.
    
   Everything is illusionary and symbolic in content and context while simultaneously remaining vastly relevant in our quest to know the meaning and purpose of the universe. This process is approachable by virtue of knowing ourself by means of design thinking, i.e. man - wo/man - hu/manity ... know thy self.
    
" "If spiritual science is to do the same for spirit that natural science has done for nature, it must investigate quite differently from the latter. It must find ways and means of penetrating into the sphere of the spiritual, a domain which cannot be perceived with outer physical senses nor apprehended with the intellect which is bound to the brain." 


   Change is an essential element supporting the concept of design and design thinking. Design thinking makes life incredibly simple using signs symbols, metaphor and analogy.

“ "What humans can do is change the data by adding to it. They cannot alter Prior Data, but they can enlarge the database. They can put into their memory banks new and important information on Everything in Life -- including life itself. When they do this, they create a New Beginning in the Mental Process of Data Analysis through which they make their choices and decisions. They start out from a different place. They do something by this process that is crucial to behavior modification: they alter their perspective. 
   It is important to understand that Perspective is Everything. It is not a little thing. It is everything. Perspective is the way we look at things, and the way we look at things absolutely determines the way we see them”.

This text explores a deep and intricate relationship between design thinking and the human experience, emphasizing themes such as self-awareness, personal empowerment, perception, and the metaphysical nature of existence.  

1. Design Thinking as a Path to Self-Awareness Design thinking provides a framework for introspection and self-awareness, guiding us to examine the decisions and patterns we've shaped in our lives. It encourages a deeper understanding of ourselves, revealing that what we consider "conscious" thought is often a product of long-established patterns, systems, and beliefs we've accepted over time. These mental constructs, while potentially helpful, are often unconscious drivers of our decisions. By becoming more mindful of these patterns, we can choose to reshape or let go of limiting beliefs, creating space for deeper personal growth. 

2. The Meaning and Purpose of Life Through Design 
Design thinking is not just a tool for problem-solving—it serves as a medium through which we can discover meaning and purpose in our lives. By applying design principles to our thoughts, actions, and relationships, we begin to understand our true nature. This process helps us uncover and articulate the deeper truths of our existence, guiding us toward a sense of clarity and authenticity. 

3. Empathy and Connection Through Design Thinking 
One of the fundamental tenets of design thinking is empathy—being able to understand and share the feelings of another. This ability to "wear someone else’s moccasins" is not just about recognizing their emotional state; it's about developing a sensitivity to the interconnectedness of all things. Design thinking helps us create symbolic connections between elements, facilitating deeper relationships and a more holistic understanding of the world around us.

4. The Fluidity of Truth and Perspective in Design Thinking 
Design thinking embraces the fluid and ever-changing nature of truth and perception. There are no absolute right or wrong answers in design thinking; instead, it encourages us to explore multiple perspectives and recognize that truth is not fixed. Just as a color can shift from black to white, so too can our understanding evolve as we encounter new insights, perspectives, and experiences. 

5. The Metaphysical and Symbolic Nature of Design 
Design thinking operates on a metaphysical level, drawing from the unseen energies, symbols, and patterns that shape our world. It speaks to the universal force that connects all things—both seen and unseen. Through design, we can express and understand this force in tangible ways, using metaphors and symbols to bring deeper meaning to our experiences. 

6. Self-Empowerment and Self-Realization Through Design 
At its core, design thinking is a process of self-empowerment and self-realization. By becoming conscious of the patterns and structures we create in our lives, we gain the ability to reshape them, aligning our actions with our true desires and values. This process is not just about making external changes but about aligning our inner world with our outer reality. 

7. The Illusory and Symbolic Nature of Existence 
One of the most profound insights design thinking offers is the understanding that everything is, in a sense, illusory—yet deeply meaningful. Our perception of reality is shaped by the symbols, metaphors, and meanings we assign to it. While these symbols may be abstract or fleeting, they serve as tools to navigate and understand the universe. In this sense, design thinking offers a way to engage with the world symbolically, recognizing the deeper patterns that underlie all things. 

8. The Role of Change in Design Thinking 
Change is central to design thinking. Life itself is in constant flux, and design thinking helps us embrace this fluidity by offering tools to adapt, evolve, and create. Whether through symbols, analogies, or metaphors, design thinking simplifies complex realities, making it easier to navigate change and harness it for personal and collective growth.
