Contain to Free / by Alexander Lyadov

How do you imagine freedom? A popular answer is: "I can do whatever I want!" Let’s go with that for the sake of curiosity.

In essence, it means an act of creation, when the impossible becomes possible. A metamorphosis, synthesis, a quantum leap.

"Ah, this desired transformation of lead into gold," the alchemist would say. And the first thing he would do is choose the right vessel.

You see, even for a simple chemical reaction, you need a vessel that meets specific requirements:

  • Sealing to prevent evaporation or leakage.

  • Resistance to solvent and acid aggression.

  • Ability to withstand high temperatures.

  • Ergonomic shape for ease of use.

  • Strength to mechanical damage.

  • Markers for accurate dosing.

  • Inertness to all reagents.

Want results that are a whole order of magnitude greater? Choose a "container" that’s stronger — a nuclear reactor, an autoclave, or a furnace.

Did you notice the paradox? Super-liberation requires a super-container.

How can this insight be applied to business and life?

Look for a reliable structure, vessel, and ritual for profound change.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
