Sometimes we define a journey as our legs, which take a decision to walk and pass boundaries without acknowledgement or uncounted.

If we symbolize our journey as an iceberg, take a decision is representative of our gesture to the timeline that we are not face it, yet, then i called it as gestures to the events. Naturally, the way of how we face the future should be balanced with our gestures. Even the future is the unknown, or something we don’t know the shape of it, yet, or it is still drowning at the bottom of an iceberg like the interior of the social body.

The courage that we have shown for the future by our gestures could determine and be countable in the area of self-accountability . These areas always have the contrary. Because the future should be tested. The objective of countable variables should be tested, so it could have the best impact on our capability, accountability, and the constellation, at the time.

Accountability is one of the active elements in creating “the real truth”. Truth can be represented by cycles of accountability that should be forced and held continuously. How about post-truth? Post truth is an artificial cycle of “accountable entity wanna be” that is created by the increase of the amounts of ignorances and disconnection variables.

Connection is the main element in how we live in complex systems and unverified situations. Just imagine how we live nowadays without access to the Google map and broadband internet in unknown territories. It happened to me just a few weeks ago while having a task in the US. My handheld was also operating as my modem is not updated yet to the latest 5G networks. It is still 4G, while in locations there’re only HDSPA and 5G available. I cannot access Uber and all the transportation apps that can connect me fluently. So I just rely on the hotel and the office phone to order a taxi. It’s an awkward situation, because I am in the most tech-savvy community in the world. Of course, I understand, it is a message from the universe. Not to buy a new handheld, but to use my previous muscles and knowledge of using analog navigation skills. And then, I got the eureka-aha moment. I feel the sacred. I suddenly had an intention of knowing the story of every building that I passed by. Even the details of the elements on the facade of the building.

I feel the sacred. Wow, maybe this is the fifth dimension of connectivity. Accessing the sacred dimension. When the stories “can speak” , and the details accompany our journey, it’s like we’ve been covered by the power of knowing that can be held by existence. And I think I know how to activate at the time. Just believe in your muscles, and start to feel all the connection that is around you. Of course, I should practice a lot. I think it will go to be an interesting learning journey. And of course, don’t forget to ask, that’s the key in these -sacred-dimension :).

I believe we can access the sacrality of our journey. The future is like a garden and plaza that becomes a place for our graduation moment, whatever the size of the moment. If we could graduate from our belief, if our knowledge has been accepted by the universe through our journey, the smallest part of it is the powerful stories for our descendants.
