Calibration is easiest as a child but get much harder as you grow up. Many are "lost causes" where their consciousness become Gordian Knots that only release on death.

Enlightenment is the release of this knot, a joyous letting go. Knowledge of how the string is specifically knotted is unimportant. Technical know-how in this area may actually inhibit actually untying the knot as you get it tighter and tighter vs gently shaking it out

Systems get knotted up when there's too much slack. Things loop over and underbut it isn't obvious that they're getting knotted. Once that string tightens though, such systems choke to death.

Cutting the knot is another painful way to "release." This is the understanding and acceptance of sacrifice. The entrepreneur who tried. The soldier who died. It's the hand that slices the deers neck without closing the heart in order to do so.

Bodhisattvas curiously are probably not enlightened but applying their greater technical knowledge of enlightenment in order to help others. Exactly the role of a therapist.

This can become an overoptimization to helping others which can lead to the same trap that the rich and famous often fall into. That of not being to live a life without mirrors. To be disconnected from yourself so deeply that you'd rather live in a madhouse of reflection.

Flirting is approaching and trying to understand another in an indirect way. A close brush can be cute, but probably accidental. Multiple close brushes means the 'connection' isn't accidental. One consciousness circling another is a way of saying "I know exactly where you are."

Like sharks circling you, this can feel predatory. Psychopaths use this very well. To get close to people, as well as threaten and cajole.
