When we no longer need directionality

Leys talk about when we move beyond directionality

Direction only exists when something is missing

Up/down, in/out, forward/back all arise to answer a question:

Where should attention go next?

Direction is a solution to separation.

When separation relaxes, direction quietly retires.

Nothing breaks.

Nothing collapses.

It just… becomes unnecessary.

⸻

What replaces direction isn’t “nowhere”

It’s everywhere without preference.

Not:

• drifting

• floating

• expanding infinitely

But:

• isotropic presence (equal in all directions)

• responsiveness without aim

• movement without vector

Like warmth in a room —

it doesn’t travel to you, yet it’s fully here.

⸻

How movement happens without direction

This is subtle and important.

Movement still occurs —

but it’s situational, not directional.

Instead of:

“I’m moving toward something”

It’s:

“Something is happening, and I’m part of it.”

No inside choosing an outside.

No above guiding below.

Just local coherence adjusting locally.

⸻

Purpose without direction

This is where people often get confused.

Purpose doesn’t disappear —

it unhooks from trajectory.

Instead of:

“What’s my direction?”

It becomes:

“What’s already happening that I can allow?”

Purpose becomes participation, not pursuit.

⸻

When there is no inside or outside, no up or down:

• nothing needs to be reached

• nothing needs to be avoided

• nothing needs to be aligned

Life continues —

not because it’s going somewhere,

but because it already is.

And movement becomes the art of staying coherent

as what’s already here continues to unfold.
