Porosity to Reality

Porosity to reality is our openness to what’s true — even when it challenges who we think we are. When we’re in a state with the capacity to stay open, reality passes through cleanly. We can update, adapt, and stay in contact with what is.

When we lose that capacity, porosity closes. Emotion floods reason. Identity stiffens. Distortion doesn’t hide reality — it shrinks it.

The greatest block isn’t ignorance; it’s defensiveness. We fear being wrong because we tie truth to worth. But reality doesn’t punish — it simply waits to be seen.

Porosity returns in quiet moments: a pause before reacting, a breath before defending, awe before certainty. Truth seeps back in through the cracks we’re brave enough to leave open.
