Known Patterns
Think about how you recognize your own handwriting, or the feel of your home, or the sound of your favorite song. There's an immediate, unmistakable quality of "yes, this." This is how Known patterns present themselves in the three-body structure.
Direct Experiential Clarity
Known patterns have an immediacy you can't miss:
Like how you know you're hungry
When you recognize a friend's voice
As you feel the ground under your feet
While you read and understand these words
Notice right now: What's unmistakably present in your experience? The warmth of your tea cup, perhaps? The clarity of morning awareness?
Consistent Reproducibility
Known patterns can be reliably accessed:
You can recall them at will
They work the same way each time
Their behavior is predictable
Their presence is verifiable
Think about how you:
Make your morning tea
Navigate your home in the dark
Use familiar tools
Engage with routine tasks
Stable Self-Reference
Known patterns maintain their identity:
You can return to them
They feel familiar
They serve as reference points
They provide grounding
Experience this now:
Feel your breath
Notice your posture
Sense your attention
Recognize your awareness
KEY SIGN: Can be reliably accessed/demonstrated
This is the crucial indicator - Known patterns are available when needed. Not just theoretically, but practically:
You can show them to others
You can work with them directly
You can depend on their behavior
You can build with them
Practical Application
Try this exercise:
In your immediate experience, identify:
Three physical Known patterns
Three mental Known patterns
Three emotional Known patterns
For each one, verify:
Can you access it at will?
Is it consistently present?
Does it maintain its identity?
Can you demonstrate it?
Working With Known Patterns
Remember:
Known doesn't mean unchanging
It means directly accessible
It provides foundation
It enables navigation
It supports growth
The goal isn't to make everything Known, but to maintain healthy relationship with what is Known while allowing it to serve its natural function in the larger pattern.
