Passive vs Active starting points in the pursuit of efficiency and connectedness
What is the most efficient way to do something with the least tension, in the most efficient and connected way possible? To start with everything active, or everything passive?
In pursuit of a connected body, some activations are necessary, some not. But we don’t know which are which. If we start completely passive, and activate one thing at a time, we will never achieve the result, much less with any efficiency. To arrive at the state of efficiency, least tension, and connected body, you cannot start with everything “off”.
Imagine an electric box with 100 on/off switches, and a light-bulb that turns on only when 5 specific switches are on. If you start with all the switches ON, you can switch them off, and whatever turns the light off, you switch back on.
But if you start with everything OFF… it’s immediately evident - the number of switch actions is astronomical. You would be there forever.
