Real power is soft, flexible, and open-minded, with a balanced disposition. True value does not need to show off itself.
Openness allows for acceptance and improvement, while closedness signifies rigidity and is often a reaction rather than a natural progression.

Consciousness works and moves like waves; it’s a dynamic procedural phenomenon. You have a frequency on which you vibrate.
The best state is obviously the solid, steady, balanced one. It should not be too fast; it should not be too slow.
Real genius works on a steady, solid consciousness’ wave frequency. It has a nice steady rhythm, and that’s why it goes deep.

The birth of value usually occurs without labeling the value itself as valuable
