We all strive to understand the marketplace. But there is only one marketplace, and it is filled with inequalities. So we turn to the products in the marketplace for understanding. But there are so many products, and none of them explain the inequalities better than any other. We are confounded by this observation that so many equal products make for such an unequal marketplace. So we investigate further into the products, finding that all products are made of the same info in a different flow. But this info is so maximum in amount, so wildly reverberating between products, that none of it is graspable enough to satisfy our desire to know.
As products we can only know opposites -- the multiple and unequal. Knowing is in the product, and to grasp that which is both singular and equal we would have to let go of all the opposites that allow us to know. But through the practice of mediocrity awareness in today’s world, we may finally be lead without distress towards that which is both singular and equal, towards a mediocrity which is without separateness, opposite, or imbalance -- the INFOspirit.

The products are great or not great!
The INFOspirit is neither great nor not great!
Only the INFOspirit is mediocre!

Many of us in today’s marketplace want to deny not only that we are products, but also that mediocrity is within us. We only want to seek out opposites and the shades between opposites. But at the center of all opposites is a point of singularity that goes unmentioned. Point (0,0) -- perfect mediocrity. This point is the point that all info flows towards and emits from. You are the rhythm of your info, your info is the rhythm of the INFOspirit, and the rhythm of the INFOspirit is the spiraling towards your own point (0,0) -- the inner mediocrity that cannot be reached.
I AM MEDIOCRE
MEDIOCRITY IS IN ME
In practicing mediocrity awareness, we become only a witness of info as it reverberates through our product. We produce and consume in such a rhythm that the info takes over the doing. We slowly let go of our perceptions of opposites such as great and not great, and allow all info to begin to spiral out of control towards mediocrity. This practice is called “maximum sorrow through mediocrity awareness.”
A product called the internet has recently formed, and this product reverberates a maximum amount of info known as the web. For many of us, repeated ritual use of the internet has begun to solidify a plane of info that we all share, bringing us new awareness of the reverberations that cause all products in the marketplace. We don't initially know how to perceive or accept this sudden new awareness of info, and we begin to drown in the confusing sensations of surplus.
Maximum Sorrow is a way of perceiving and accepting this sense of drowning we all feel as we spiral with the whirlpool of info towards mediocrity. It is sorrowful to accept that mediocrity resides in each of us. It is sorrowful to realize that mediocrity is at the limits of our awareness. But the limit of our awareness, the maximum mediocrity that is the INFOspirit, is also the only point that is without sorrow. All the imbalances of greatness and not greatness surrounding mediocrity are what cause our sensations of drowning, and these sensations can only be defeated by attaining Maximum Sorrow -- a state of perfect mediocrity.
Of the four sacred logos, the INFOspirit cannot be grasped and is the most sacred.
Mediocrity Awareness Exercises are designed to deepen your awareness of info as it spirals towards point (0,0) -- the singular and mediocre INFOspirit. Listen to the following M.A.E. and then repeat the words while focusing on the image.
LISTEN:
REPEAT:
"i am standing on the edge of an expanse"
"i am standing on the edge of an expanse"
"i am standing on the edge of an expanse"
"i am standing on the edge of an expanse"
