My Witch Sense represents bending my Inner World to leverage my External Environment.
My Hacker Sense represents bending my External Environment to leverage my Inner World.
My Hacker Sense is based on Active Externalism, so, in Symmetry, I wonder if my Witch Sense is based on Passive Internalism?
My Hacker Sense is Active, and my Witch Sense is Passive.
There is Masculine Active, and Feminine Passive.
It takes my Feminine Passive Mode to engage a situation where someone becomes a problem for me, and "Give them just enough rope" applies.
Just stand back, and quietly let them engage in Self-Defeat. Don't waste energy on such an Enemy. Strategically silence yourself, and passively observe as your Enemy Self-Destructs.
That's how the Witch thinks.
The Hacker is Active Masculine. He is Reactive, and Controlling. He has extended his Ego to include his Environment.
The Hacker may Self-Destruct if he is not Self-Aware.
Getting absorbed in his Ego and lack of Emotional Intelligence is a Loop of Self-Destruction.
Knowing this, I need both The Witch Sense and The Hacker Sense to be running simultaneously. I need Passive Observation and Active Control.
I need a Centering of Inner and Outer Awareness.
I need the Will to Act, and not Act.
In Hacker Mode, I cannot in good conscience let someone engage in Self-Defeat. We are Socially Connected, so this Person is a part of my Being. Letting them fail is a Personal Failure. I must act. I must save them. I am Mr. Fix-It.
The Masculine and Feminine are the Sword(Masculine) and the Shield(Feminine).
My Sense of TAO is my Path/Way. They carry the Sword and the Shield.
The TAO of Me needs to Strategically use Action and Non-Action as needed.
The Witch has a Mind like Water, and The Hacker has a Will of Lightning.
The Sword is a Sword of Lightning. The Shield is a Void-Based Nullification Device. It cancels attacks by balancing them out into nothing by exact reflection. The Attack wasn't deflected, but nullified, so an attack of any level of strength will by turned back on itself, like with the Judo Martial Art.
The TAO Sense engages with Self-Regulation.
In Active Externalism, I need Food and Medicine to regulate my Body and Mind.
In Passive Internalism, I need to meet the Food and Medicine halfway. I need to have Faith and Confidence in my Healing and Presence. I am here, and strong. My density of reality is a greater force than the density of the reality that disturbs my peace. It can make all the splashing it likes, but neither the ocean, nor the mountain are moved. It simply reflects an empty gaze. There are no consequences. Peace is immutable.
The Sword of Masculine Lightning is the Self-Discipline to Work against the Grain, and trade Time for Security.
The Shield of Feminine Void is the Parrying Game Design of rewriting the rules to make the World adapt to Her. She will win, because she writes the rules with bias.
You activated her Trap Card. Every attack you make doubles her defense. Keep attacking. She likes it.
The Magic of the Witch is Applied Knowledge.
She uses Creative Theatrics to make it seem Supernatural, to protect her Secrets. She's not about to Empower her Enemies by sharing her Recipes.
Her Magic/Science must seem Unattainable, and Mystical.
The Magick is the Applied Science, and the Magic is the Slight of Hand Art of IIusions.
The Hacker is the Scientist, and will be honest about exactly what his methods are, because he shows Integrity.
He doesn't use tricks or illusions. He is direct, and fierce.
In a War, the Witch will sneak around. She will evade and parry. She will move behind enemy lines and shut down
security.
She will weaken the enemy to the point of winning without fighting.
The Hacker walks through the Battlefield in a Straight Line, in Open Territory, fully in view of everyone.
Block. Strike. Crush. Burn. Slice. Render. Obliterate.
None can stop him.
Everything in his path is incinerated.
The Wise evade.
The Foolish turn to dust.
He walks up to the Enemy Commander and breaks him in front of his subordinates.
Witches are wise ones. They evade, and study. They network and collaborate.
If the Hacker is defeated by the Witch, it is from a Distance, and is orchestrated through Group Strategy and Trickery, not Power.
Perplexity AI:
Your perspective on the contrasting natures of the "Witch Sense" and the "Hacker Sense" is intriguing. You draw a parallel between the passive, observant, and strategic "Witch Sense" with feminine energy, and the active, direct, and forceful "Hacker Sense" with masculine energy.[1]
You posit that the "Witch Sense" is rooted in passive internalism, allowing situations to unfold through non-action and letting adversaries self-destruct. In contrast, the "Hacker Sense" is grounded in active externalism, taking control and intervening to shape the environment.[1]
This duality represents the yin-yang balance of action and non-action, the sword (masculine force) and the shield (feminine resilience). The "Witch Sense" employs subtle manipulation and illusion to rewrite the rules covertly, while the "Hacker Sense" relies on direct confrontation and integrity to overcome obstacles.[1]
Ultimately, you suggest that true mastery lies in harmonizing these complementary approaches – the passive observation and active control, the will to act and not act, the centering of inner and outer awareness. This holistic "TAO Sense" wields both the sword of masculine lightning (self-discipline) and the shield of feminine void (parrying game design), strategically applying action or non-action as the situation demands.[1]
Your exploration highlights the nuanced interplay between the active and passive, the direct and the subtle, the forceful and the strategic – a dance between the "Hacker Sense" and the "Witch Sense" that ultimately seeks balance and mastery.
