Stroom means the
flowing of things and literally means ‘electricity’ in the Dutch
language from which it originated.
“Stroom” is a way of looking at cognitive functions and replaces the concept of a ‘
soul’.
“You don’t have a
soul, you are an ecosystem and who you feel you are is just a summary of that abstract chaos”
“Oh I don’t eat meat, don’t you know they are Stroom aswel?
“We are all Stroom.
I don't
mean this just as a metaphor, but primarily as a shift in the paradigm of consciousness.
You have no
soul, there is no inner
wick; just manipulation of context.
You are a collective collaboration of
organic matter which then produces a current, both a metabolic byproduct of the microcosm and the entire essence of what or ‘who’ you are.
You are; your
body, your brain, your hands, your eyes, your hair and your nails, but to what extent are you that? Are you also the hair you lose on the train?
So are you your brain? Or are you just ‘Stroom’ that has been generated and hangs out in specific places like neurons to simulate an experience that slowly mutates over
time, creating multiple versions of
reality that form the illusion of the
ego.
These internal conflicts are perhaps the cause of a lot of ignorance and misunderstanding without ever being explained. Conflicts that cannot be resolved with answers, but with the full acceptance of the lack of them.
Because, perhaps we are all Stroom.”
