      🆕 The Meaningness project aims for a relationship with meaning that is similar in feel to “peak experiences,” but less intense, more deliberate, easier to sustain, and more cognitive. https://meaningness.com/peak-experiences …

      I was just thinking about the umwelt that Shakespeare in particular wraps you up in. It reminds me of the complete stance. WDYT of this comparison?

      Also curious to hear your suggestions of other media that might be "carriers" of the complete stance. The Egyptian Book of the Dead comes to mind.

      Hmm... Neither of these comparisons is obvious to me; say more?

      The phenomenological world I enter from said two sources very closely matches your "awkward words." For you, what would be a better example of a work or artist that evokes the complete stance?pic.twitter.com/f0JYCWPhgh

      Ah, I think most worthwhile art does. This is discussed in passing on the wonder page:https://meaningness.com/wonder

      Hm, though not the Egyptian BoTD in particular? eg "To be on this hot earth a cool jug of water, to stand in the wind like sturdy sycamore branches, a place where birds rest, where cattle gather, where sap rises, wherein earth and sky are home."

      And: "May all the world envelop me that I might know the conversation of wind or the willful flight of a bee, that I might become the song of earth and turn again to greening."🙂

          I still want to ask: In your opinion, are there any works in particular that most capture the complete stance?

          I'm drawing a blank on this, I'm afraid. I do think it's inherently individual.
