Physical earth — and mythic tales — reminders of your inner earth. Countless composite structures, unseen caverns in its depths. Your subjective blueprint. But when it governs you from the shadows, it's time to free yourself of its hold.
Synchronized and harmonized, ascending to the top of the tree of your life. How excellent. But please! Never claim the crown at the zenith as yours. Simply allow nature to operate as it may. Absorb, contemplate, ruminate. Play along.
What's not worthy must be discarded. What's worthy must be elected. Uplifted in the rapture of cognitive convergence. Let the old world perish as it must. Into a new world of purity and radiance in truth. Remain firm. Keep it real.
It's not a matter of becoming an intellectual giant. It's a matter of common sense. Looking carefully. What is this? What is that? How does this relate to that? What is this made of? What is that made of? Keeping you in basic coherence.
What matters? The constraints of your ego. Your flux in the environment. Your reactivity in interaction. The umbrella of meanings in your life. These are fundamental concerns — poles supporting the foundation of your life. Get to the point!
Eight stations of your becoming. Infants born as is. Opening your eyes. Imprinted by environment. Dreaming into horizons. Setting the will of the way. Diligently into your field of works. At harvest time, reconcile your yields. Synchronized and harmonized... ascending the tree of your life.
All that we carry — driven to the field of encounters. Conflicts abound. Take sides – you will perish. At this time you are the judge of all and yourself. Raw truth alone is your guide and guardian in the caldera of your integration.
As you vibe your way through without rhyme and reason, you slip in all sorts of directions. A bit much here, ignore the other side. Off-center, out of balance. Don't be a proud jackass. Engage your intellect. Craft your coherent frames.
All sorts of fantastic out there — but we can't be forever scattered. Then into the core points. Of deeper influence and impact on our lives. Of broad presence in the fabric of existence. These are the essential points. Concentrate!
Your harmonization and alignment as a whole. Synchronization of your ripe and refined potentials. Synergetic and radiant embodiment. The crowning of your life-cycle — the ascension of your essence. This is the final human station.
When you've accumulated enough. The pool of your yields is brimming. Fermenting. Boiling. But your contents are murky, unrefined. Conflicts abound. Confusion abounds. You are at the threshold of integration. Prepare for your trials.
On the path of life, of transformation, many are the matters to be mastered. It does not happen without your reason. You can't simply vibe your way to the other side. Your intellect is indispensable. It is a tool to be used wisely.
Need to get to the point. Find aim, direction, intention. Concentrate, withdraw. But what do we attend to, what do we concentrate on? What truly matters. That be the point. Look into yourself – what in me truly matters. Aim there.
Elon Musk wants to be the titan of Mars. Mark Zuckerberg needs to control the collective mind. Donald Trump chases the ultimate deal. Vladimir Putin must be the grand emperor. Why must we seek fulfillment so far? Look inward sometime.
The aches of your physical being. The bouncing of your emotions. The grind in your rational mind. The cohesion of your identity roles. All sources of unavoidable suffering. At least, avoid the suffering born of your illusions!
With this, our anthology from "Ponder Struck" in four parts is a wrap. We've touched on the nature of suffering, on integrated transcendence, on genuine fulfillment, and on esoteric models of awareness. Stay tuned and keep pondering. More will follow in its season.
Our archetypal fields of awareness — primary facets of consciousness. On the horizontal process plane. On the vertical axis of abstraction. Sequences, pairings. Contrasts and complements. Explore the self-emergent matrix.
Perfect your inner blueprint. All these grand ops out there — just metaphors for our awareness. Even there — resign from trying to jail all it all into your little prison. Live like an immaculate mirror of reality.
A true path leads you not to a loss of integrity in your concrete life. Instead: into increased, enhanced integrity. There's simply a release of obsession. Each of your planes operates as they must.
Don't cling to permanence in a world where there is none. Eliminate the suffering born from your attempts to freeze the flux of time. In a flexible self-construct, your self-born suffering itself is released and eliminated.
Mystic maps and diagrams, esoteric flow charts. It all becomes unrooted in the fields of your imagination and intellect. Experiment and directly witness in your consciousness instead!. It'll all make a world more of sense.
Why must you seek so far, Elon? Why must you seek to control the minds of others, Mark? What deal do you hope to make, Donald? And Vladimir... all you big boys with your big games. Sometime, face the void you pursue out there.
Each of your planes of being — physical, emotional, intellectual, identity — has a presence and integrity that deserves to be maintained. Not obsessed by them anymore. Instead we're operating them — we are in them.
This physical body of ours is a source of suffering. In our emotional being, the joys and sorrows... Your rational being, with all the conflicts you encounter... Your sense of ego and identity, when challenged... Unavoidable. But the worst suffering is avoidable.
Mystic maps and diagrams. Esoteric cosmologies. From Chakras to Sephirot and Neidan in Taoist sources. Don't take them for reference blueprints. Look into what is in your consciousness — and how it correlates with these mappings.
How far must one truly go in this never-ending quest for fulfillment? Even the mightiest of men — should they one day meet the consummation of these pipe dreams, they'd still be left with a gaping void in the middle of their being.
It's common to see people on spiritual quests become dissociated and vulnerable. A premature, ungrounded leap to false transcendence. But detachment doesn't mean letting go of all to be freely scavenged and exploited by others.
There's suffering. Most of us would like to avoid it. What exactly is this suffering? Is it avoidable to begin with? So there are indeed two types of suffering. One that is inherent – and another arising from misconceptions.
