We’re all arrive in the era of all thing should be counted, we tied in addiction to measuring all thing that attach with our consciousness. Without wisdom, or container of connectedness, that’s exhausting. Hence, in digital era, the “grey” era of understanding, are not tolerable, and its easily converted into ambiguity.

When we’re in the middle of situation that needed conclusion and decision, ambiguity could came as physical responses. Becoming physical means the respond affect our consciousness, breath, and how to shape the situation. Ambigue is not representation of balance situation. Especially in systems. Balancing is equal with maintaining. Not healing. That’s the difference with the era when we’re still love to connect physically in transferring ideas and works.

We could figured that balanced situation could represent in situation of peace. While we hold in common value, to connect, to interact, and to maintain future in equal opportunities. While we’re in ambiguity, that kinds of value will never shown up. Ambiguity is like doing constant response, in thinking, and acting, to measure the risk of decision. When we’re in ambiguity, the energy of connect will convert to energy of responding. That we can feel in situation of polarisation, especially in politics, in small scale, like in comment space of social media that holding confrontation between two sides of society with different political base point.

The two sides of coin

I can figure that peace is not part of phase of process before and after ambiguity happens. Peace is like another side of coins. While we are in ambiguous situation, or worse, when our stakeholder of the systems trapped in ambiguity, we are far away from peace. I think that was just like in de-military zone in border of war zone. If we talk in systemic language, ambiguity is like operating, or even, confronting, two kind of re-inforce loop in parallel path of archetype. The loop is not on the same path, and unintentionally affected one another.

It’s also happen while bully came into educational systems. I always believe that bullying is kind of systemic operation to repress and decrease the level of consciousness of its victims. Bullying will always happen in a “shadow systems” that usually not recognised by the official/common system that operated in its area of influences. The ambiguous situation will happen to (official/common) stakeholder who not feel involved with the bullying, but feel responsible for maintaining the situation.

How to stop the “shadow’s loop”

Yes. Ambiguity is like shadow loop that came from official or common loop that run in a systems. When facing the bullying, we should always find the source of the “light” that make the shadow. “The light” is sometimes from entity that have strong influences in systems and stakeholder, and have intention to shape the official and common loop to defend this entity, or widening the spectrum of responds, while this entity trying to gain a respond to increasing its value.

So, i think “the light” should be re-defining as “situations”. The light is not become solution while the shadow made our shape become distraction for the future. Ambiguity could ruin trust, and there’s no comfortable feeling when we feel, even saw ambiguity from outer of us.

Defeating are not sin

We’re always grow, as mind, and as physical that connect to bigger “stream” and bigger “pool of act”. To have confrontation, or having situation to decide and letting go for something, is inevitable. Ambiguity are not situation that can be heal gradually. Like i said before, it’s like bullying. I can say, it’s like bullying in the mind. Ambiguity can be stopped immediately, while we set our path more clearly, more collectively, and more consistently. To become a persist mind, is a demands of every civilisation. To have role in civilisation, we have to set our consciousness in higher level, the level of enlightenment, in level of — we could gave all we have and works in prime condition. Ambiguity are not in it. Defeating ambiguity is a role of people that have intention to get better civilisation.
