"I just do what I want and if I happen to wake up great but like whatever it's a bit like laissez-faire don't brush me" "The one weird thing about Viennan Gautiva is it sounds more dark than it is yeah no I agree we hear negative and we're like no no but I don't want to manifest something bad because my subconscious doesn't know the difference between positive and negative thoughts," she says. "[Viennan GAutiva] has just a spiritual mystic sun because that's the that's where it comes from right comes from like the unknowing ness of like the divine and like just searching for that"
Welcome to another Friday Philosophy episode where we consider a different mental model, investigate our favorite frameworks, and muse on the creative habits and rituals of people we admire.
Today we’re digging into an esoteric philosophy called, Via Negativa.
We'll be looking at this framework and sharing how we use it to improve our relationship with time, how we discern our highest priorities, and how to avoid burn out.
Key take aways:
- How to use the theory of Via Negativa to abate burn out, overwhelm, and discern our most pressing priorities
- The power of subtracting vs. adding into several areas of our lives when thinking about our future visions
- How to conserve your energy by asking better questions like, “what's blocking my current perspective that I might be able to subtract?”
- How this mental model can help reduce “grasping energy”
