If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Definition, Understanding Learning's Association With Breathing, Motion & Infinite Possibilities And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8f)

[It is intended for readers to insert themselves as the “I” in this article.]

Learning's Expanding Definition

Learning is absorbing information, then adjusting, adapting or reinforcing behavior.

Information includes experiences and comes from primary creation, secondary creation, self and others.

There must be a change to a choice and behavior as evidence of learning OR there must be reinforcement of a choice and behavior.

Changing or reinforcing is always taking place. There is no such thing as useless information. All information is influencing. Sometimes the change or reinforcement is deciding to listen to, not listen to, believe or disbelieve the information source, its subject matter or its subject. Most of the time, changing or reinforcing is occurring on the subconscious level below awareness.

Learning requires acquiring information and taking action but learning does not require awareness I am learning or awareness I am taking action. Sometimes the action is a choice to change (do something) and sometimes the action is a choice to stay the same (do nothing).

I have the genetic ability for learning. I am learning a lot of what I am putting my mind to.

I am learning everything I am putting my mind and spiritual mind to.

Understanding's Expanding Definition

Understanding is an initial or confirming awareness of the nature of something or someone.

This is achieved by recognizing differences and similarities compared to other information. It also involves recognizing positives and negatives compared to ME (Manifest Essence); therefore, I must have self-awareness. Understanding comes from weighing these differences and using what naturally rises above the other.

Understanding requires evaluating new information and reevaluating previous information. Sometimes this analysis leads to new awareness and sometimes it strengthens previous awareness.

Understanding always includes age-appropriate intuition and wisdom. Understanding always includes utilizing the intuition and wisdom of others in the communal family (parents, caregivers, siblings, relatives, friends, elders, ancestors, the rest of the natural world and the Divine Beings).

Synthesis Of Learning, Understanding & Breathing

Learning and understanding do not happen at once, nor are they ever complete. It is only possible to learn and understand in the moment for the moment. The very next moment I must resume learning and understanding.

For example, I am breathing right now but I can't breathe in advance to cover moments from now or the rest of my life. I must breathe moment by moment. The same is true for learning and understanding.

Also, I can learn without understanding but I cannot understand without learning. This means there is always only one of two things happening: learning by itself OR learning and understanding together (learnderstanding).

Some Learnderstanding

I must use cues from the natural world.

The genius of combining form and function is not a recent discovery. I am a human in form but only a human being when I am functioning as intended - as spirit.

My wants are rejoining the stream of necessary primary things, in keeping with being chosen. No longer is cash the king, popularity the queen, misleading education the key to living, or a search for progress being made in places it has never been seen.

Staying In Motion With Learnderstanding

Learnderstanding is a process taking place during living. Living is a process taking place during time. Time is a process. Since process is also motion, learnderstanding is really motion within motion within motion.

Associating & Adjusting

I am breathing, using my first and last. I am breathing, connecting the two. Living is this way, bunches of motions.

The meaning of life & existence is expanding, simplifying, matching ME - motion within motion within motion within motion within motion within motion within motion within...breathing is essential...motion within...learnderstanding is increasing...motion within...living is never-ending...

Life is about making associations, adjusting, staying in motion and becoming eternal expansion - infinite possibilities.
