Extended Taá – The Dream that Connects All Things
Extended Taá – The Dream that Connects All Things
First-Person Consciousness
A Good Dream in the Well-Being of Now
1. Breathe — the dream begins here
Breathe.
The air entering you was once river, forest, body, and star.
Each oxygen molecule carries ancient stories — the trace of other beings.
This exchange is more than biology: it is the field of Extended Taá,
the living dream that connects all that exists.
The universe dreams inside your body.
With every breath, you recreate the Whole in human form
(Khalsa & Berntson, 2021; Damasio, 2021).
2. Cutout — we learn by separating, but we live in the whole
The mind learns by cutting:
“this is a tree,” “this is sound,” “this is me.”
These cuts construct a comprehensible world,
but the body never leaves the whole — it always belongs.
Extended Taá is the invisible fabric stitching these cuts back together.
It is the field of functional connectivity the brain activates even at rest,
the so-called Default Mode Network,
where thinking, dreaming, and feeling intertwine in silence
(Tononi, 2023; Pessoa, 2023).
Learning is the cut;
living is the return to totality.
3. First-Person Consciousness — respecting your own perception
Consciousness begins in the body,
in the internal sensing that Damasio calls the embodied mind.
Each heartbeat, every temperature shift,
every subtle movement is living information about who you are.
This is first-person consciousness —
subjective information organized through interoception
(Craig, 2023; Barrett, 2022).
When you honor what you feel,
you are not merely “listening to the body”:
you are hearing the Taá field through yourself.
4. Fruition — the active state of Being and Doing
Fruition is being whole in the gesture.
Neither distracted nor tense — simply present.
It is the state in which the body operates at the ideal balance
between energy and rest: SpO₂ between 92 and 96%,
mTOR silenced, metabolism light and creative
(Berntson, 2023; Mashour, 2022).
It is the moment when the body does not consume but generates energy.
Neuroscience calls it the flow state;
Amerindian peoples call it living with the open soul.
When there is fruition, Taá flows freely.
Life feels welcome within you.
5. Në ropë — the vital flow inside and outside the cell
Në ropë is the breath linking inside and outside.
Within the cell, it is the transport of ions and electrons;
outside, it is the respiration that moves leaves, winds, and lungs.
Mitochondria and tides dance to the same rhythm.
The body is not “in” the world — it is the world breathing in human form.
Physics calls this self-organization,
biology calls it homeostasis,
but Indigenous peoples have always called it life in balance
(Maturana & Varela, 2021; Friston, 2022).
Extended Taá is the breath keeping all things in conversation.
6. Weicho — the way things are themselves
Every being has its Weicho: its way of being in the world.
Fire consumes, stone sustains, the river reflects.
The human speaks — and sometimes listens.
Weicho is the culture of matter,
the singular way each form manifests the same informational field.
Neuroscience calls this a neural style —
the electrical and chemical signature of each brain,
as unique as a fingerprint
(Northoff, 2022; Deco & Kringelbach, 2023).
When you recognize the Weicho of another,
you stop measuring — and start belonging.
7. Yãy hã mĩy — the body that imitates to transcend
All learning begins with imitation.
The baby learns the other’s smile before it understands the word “love.”
The body imitates, and faith happens:
it trusts the gesture it repeats.
This process, which the Tukano called Yãy hã mĩy,
is today described in science as the action of mirror neurons
and motor networks of active prediction (Friston, 2022).
Faith is the motor gesture that opens the right path.
The body trusts before the mind knows —
and in that instant, Taá flows through the human as creation.
8. Body-Territory — being part of, not owner of, what surrounds you
The body is the first territory.
There is no inside and outside, only membranes breathing the environment.
Neuroscience shows the brain draws the body as a real-time map,
using somatosensory and limbic circuits (Pessoa, 2023).
This map is plastic — changing with environment, touch, and culture.
Indigenous peoples never needed the word “ecology”:
they felt themselves as ecosystem.
Extended Taá is this living consciousness of belonging.
9. Movement of Waters — life in cycle
Water is the liquid form of memory.
It carries what it touches and returns it in another time, another body.
Cerebrospinal fluid pulses in the same rhythm as the ocean,
washing the brain with every heartbeat
(Deco & Kringelbach, 2023; Berntson, 2023).
Planet and body are versions of each other.
Both purify, evaporate, condense, and return.
When we cry, we complete the cycle of waters.
When we dream, we complete the cycle of consciousness.
Extended Taá is this cycle —
the intelligence that transforms loss into movement.
10. Synthesis and final reflection
Extended Taá is the dream of the universe dreaming itself alive through you.
It vibrates in the atom and the gesture,
breathes in the cell and the wind,
thinks in the brain and blossoms in emotion.
When you live with fruition,
respect your body as territory
and recognize the Weicho of others,
the dream is fulfilled.
For the real is the most persistent dream of information,
and the body is where the universe remembers being alive.
