Enough Rambled: Journal Concluded (Summum Bomus)

The Half-Satori journey has reached its natural conclusion. This process journal will stay online for a record on the process of sorting out slices of the universe into a coalescing weave of awareness. One day I'll be a comedian. Or a heavy metal artist. Let's see which way the world turns after the Mayan '12 illusions are through with. The tables are turning in the mirror, the backstage is full of inversions. Meanwhile, I'm playing the sama-data-matrix game for creating a symmetric open-source insight commons. What a grand journey to nowhere!

Conscious evolution is a process of refinement from the grosser to the subtler. Whoever lets go of particular attachment and moves towards the general commonality of life, he/she can easily learn simpler and more efficient methods of natural and systematic communication. From speaking in sutra-compressed algorithmic phrases to exploring basal sounds and the origins of semantic and cognitive patternation; from understanding natural symbols and signals to using any binary-capable "device" for transmitting communication. The more subtle the mind becomes, the more insight it will be able to absorb from less content. We're simply too wordy and complicated for our own good. We need a process of semantic dissolution to dissolve the knots.

It's hardly surprising that the content in this process journal may not communicate much for those unfamiliar with the classic and ancient sources of systematized knowledge I've explored for the greater part of my short life — or for those without background in open introspective contemplation for that matter. These writings come from a phase where I was into in-depth practice of Hindu and Buddhist methods of meditation, parsing through their nature-based ontologies, and attempting to abstract the whole lot into more general terms. What you read here is probably a bit easier to absorb than classic Buddhist suttas or Hindu cosmology, for example. It isn't exactly "hands-on particular" in terms of modern applicability though. Some conscious effort required.

The archived writings in the Half-Satori journal— whatever of it may make sense — have been based on following a self-evident binary pattern of coalescence and paired unification that appears in countless permutations and vectors of interdependent generation in both the natural and the social world. Here's that same old basic pattern again — certainly not my invention — in three levels of bipolar composites (unary, binary, ternary):

 ∞ 000 001 010 011 ⋅ 100 101 110 111 ⋅ 00 01 10 11 ⋅ 0 1 ½ ∞ EOL.

Our choice of dual pairings for algorithmic balance is immaterial — the basic levels and junctions of the pattern equate as independent of its semantic variables. I've collected some sets of symbols at http://wisdom.com.es/ for an illustration of how such patterns can be modeled in practical environments. If you see there a matrix that talks to you, please let me know and toss in some reflections using the comment-feature. If you're on Facebook, please join the "Branches of the World Tree" discussion group to exchange perspectives.

— While I've used a number of "spiritual" frameworks, so-called, over the years to complement my understanding of the basic patterns that underlie our conscious processes, more recently I've worked towards turning it into something concrete — in any scenario whatever, to ensure it's abstract and subtle enough. If the so-called "transcendent" fails to become "immanent" in the here-and-now, in whichever context, it becomes altogether irrelevant for anything but advancing one's subjective sense of enthused living experience.

— Leaders and followers are obsolete. Masters and disciples are obsolete. Gurus and laghus are obsolete. Humans and non-humans are obsolete. Only the absolute is non-obsolete. What is that absolute? That unified state, in which the ego-self does not interfere in the paired dancing and interdependent flux of nature. Thence onward, it's blips and blops dancing together in the axial hall of mirrors; who cares for the little self when the world is a pattern just the same as the self in itself, reflected above as below in the mirror of the mind.

— It's best to act as a transparent co-median. Who cares for another fat-hat tripper on a high seat. For that matter, who cares for another tip-hat groveler at the bottom of the floor either. Natural complementarity ascends the low and descends the high; leveling the field into a plateau of seamless exchange between interdependent peers. — That is a healthy way forward; not a recycling of the old dualistic paradigm that merely enforces separation, where coalescence should unfold at this junction of our civilization. Those who care for religions, however, can follow Swami Blogannatha 2.0 who's been watching the internets for some time now via the Anonymous Matrix of integration. Homma-Humma-Hum — Legions!! http://www.gobloga.com/ <— Maybe better not go there after all.

Now here's something patently scary to establish a grave concluding point to all these ramblings. Better let the whole lot of this crazy-complicated world rest in the lap of Alpha and Omega in the potentive Quantum Axis in the median of awareness and patterns; happiness and distress; spirit and matter; light and darkness; above and below; outside and inside; living and dead; or butter and bread; or perhaps nirvana nevermind instead. Better to resolve that perennial tangle of conflicted interests in the fragmented mirror of awareness; and then let all phenomena rest and flow in their interdependent nature; in freedom from a concrete and fixated self that asserts itself over others.

If you venture deep enough into the darkness, you will enter the grave. In that pitch-black grave, there's an impenetrable black sarcophagus oozing with sparks of translucent crystal-blue essence. That is the dynamic cognition-essence; and the other is the static pattern-essence. When these two implode and boil into a non-differentiating weave of complementary and seamless unison, the seer and the seen become translucent in the mirror of the non-self-continuum.

 
For all those asking about "spiritual things" so-called; the path of dissolution (nivritti-nirvana) is the path that I best understand. This is where I came from; and this is where I will return. Anything that is "I" is destined to perish in the battle of the ancient powers of awareness. I have nothing here that I care to offer as a bridge of bondage for people who are unwilling to let go of the ever-subjective, ever-biasing, ever-projecting, ever-dependent self. I've been there and done that, and really it's not my thing.
 
It is best when each individual follows their own straight and natural process(es), experienced as immanent both self and its shared environment, in basal and immediately accessible terms. Face the raw and uncertain self in the cave of your deepest and morbid'est fears. Find their root; terminate their root; liberate the natural flow. Real rock-bottom and sacrifice of self-interest makes the spirit healthy again; then maybe some "spiritual life" and automagical Moo-cows roaming in a hive-land of interlinked quantum awareness sometime afterwards. Now, let's enter that inner cave...

— "In the midnight of the Dark New Moon, mystified by the unseen and the unknown, the twelve seers of wisdom wished for a journey to the Cave of the Underworld. It became a true inner quest to uncover the experience of the bare self, the plain nature of suffering, the equanimity that rests in such abiding, and the wisdom that is locked therein. This, they reasoned among themselves, would reveal the root of the unseen shackles that enforce the bondage of this world. Then, prepared with the physical, emotional and rational requisites for such an undertaking, free of fear they aimed on the path of smoke into deep darkness..."

ASM: Awareness Smilie Meditation (☯ Simplified)

Here theWisdom Matrix has become extremely simple for you. This is the ☯ Tao of Simplicity and Balance. It doesn't become much simpler than this. If the following seems awfully complicated, it's likely that your brain has disconnected from its own natural root. Please reboot and return to the roots of nature to reflect on the essences and contrasts of life. You would find those ☻~☯~☺ basic smilies in the fabric and cycles of living nature again!




We all know ofNature's Flow across our ☺ Specifying Days and ☻ Unifying Nights, witnessed in the twin lights of ☺ Enlivening Sun and ☻ Soothing Moon. There rests our center of awareness and today's basic starting point, in here: ◄ ≡ ☺ Sun ≡ ☯ Balance ≡ ☻ Moon ≡ ► and ◄ ≡ ☻ Below ≡ ☯ Middle ≡ ☺ Above ≡ ► ...as they are reflected in countless combinations and variations in our lives.




These two ☻|☺ basic principles combine as the "double-smilies" of the ☻☻|☻☺|☺☻|☺☺ four seasons, four cardinal directions, four brain-lobes and four arch-influences. Then, there are the eight stations of ☻☻☻|☻☻☺|☻☺☻|☻☺☺|☺☻☻|☺☻☺|☺☺☻|☺☺☺ the natural human life-cycle, noted here as "triple-smilies". This is the path of conscious evolution at the foundation of countless natural, spiritual, human and universal models of holistic reconciliation.




LOOKING THROUGH THE BALANCE MIRROR

Let's not make it too complicated, though. There's really only one essential thing to understand and to keep in mind at all times. It is the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► natural and balanced center of all things. This simple principle is the ∞ timeless ☯ Middle-Way and the ∞ key of ☯ Mirror Zen. It is experienced as a mindful and joyful liberated presence in the reflective heart of reality. A mirror is like this:

OUTER CENTER OF BALANCE: ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►
MIDDLE-WORLD OF BALANCE: ◄ ∞ ♥ ∞ ♥ ∞ ♥ ∞ ►
INNER CENTER OF BALANCE: ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

This is how you and your brains are naturally connected with the universe. This is an attempt to return to the very basic patterns of your awareness. If you fail to ☺ observe, ☻ understand and ☯ mindfully experience the basic patterns of your conscious mind, it follows that the rest of your mind-stream will become a pot of confusing and conflicted porridge. It's better to keep ittrue, clear andmindfully balanced!




HOW THE WHEEL OF BALANCE IS CORRUPTED

The true problems of the world emerge from a foul fountain of cravings and fears. We are fundamentally self-centered, seeking to ☻ take more than we "must" ☺ give. Without ☯ balance in the middle, the whole of humanity suffers from the manipulation of those who pursue lust and greed, orbiting their "my precious" ego-stations. Insatiable greed and pitless selfishness are the decomposing and morbid root of our collective inequality and suffering!


This natural ☯ "Balance of Mirror Mind" principle for naturally ☻ peaceful and ☺ joyful awareness is condensed into a lovely little "heart-string" of symbols, seen quite everywhere, that reads as follows...

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

This simply means that all opposites necessarily orbit a "loving" and reflecting middle-axis of balance. Then, all pairs and opposites should be selflessly united and reconciled in a ☯ Middle-Way of Balance. Here's ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► one side above; and again ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► another side below. When you're in the true ☯ middle, there is a vast space of ∞ ♥ ∞ equal love between every natural and universal pair. All is harmonized in themiddle!

◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►




SIMPLE EXAMPLES OF BALANCE AND BASIC PAIRS

The Middle-Way ofBalance andEquality is illustrated in the following examples; and there are many many more... In fact, if you become ☯ mindful and open your ☻|☺ two eyes in unison, not much more will remain to be seen! Everything is connected by a common root of ☯ Balance. When you're faithful to theGolden Median in all things, ☯ Equality andSelfless ∞ ♥ ∞ Love are your true companions in ☺ life and ☻ death alike!




THREE BASIC TIMES OF BALANCE

◄ ≡ ☻ Past ≡ ☯ Present ≡ ☺ Future ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Yesterday ≡ ☯ Today ≡ ☺ Tomorrow ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Before ≡ ☯ Now ≡ ☺ After ≡ ►

Instead of hovering inmemories past andfuture dreams, seek to be ☯ Present ☯ Today and ☯ Now. There you can focus on the nature, beauty and illuminating essence of wisdom in the passing moments of your experience. When you quit hovering about like a hungry ghost, the simple experience of the ☯ Present instant becomes quite charming in its own right, uprooting the unnatural cravings that consume and clutter your troubled mind.




THREE BASIC PLACES OF BALANCE

◄ ≡ ☻ Below ≡ ☯ Middle ≡ ☺ Above ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Left ≡ ☯ Center ≡ ☺ Right ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Where ≡ ☯ Here ≡ ☺ There ≡ ►

Find your place in theMiddle of theCenter ofHere. Here alone will anything be ever experienced. Whatever may be ☺ ahead or ☻ before you is meaningless without a ☯ mindful center. Always bePresent Today andNow in theMiddle of theCenter ofHere! You will surely develop a better attention span and more ☯ mindfulness for the ☯ wisdom that hides both within and right before your ☻|☺ two natural eyes.




THREE BASIC STATES OF BALANCE

◄ ≡ ☺ Beginning ≡ ☯ Middle ≡ ☻ End ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☺ Dynamic ≡ ☯ Quantum ≡ ☻ Static ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☺ Creation ≡ ☯ Continuum ≡ ☻ Destruction ≡ ►

Beginning andEnd are only meaningful with a sustaining ☯ Middle that has a duration. ☺ Dynamic and ☻ Static are nothing without a united ☯ Quantum Potential. ☺ Creation and ☻ Destruction are non-existent without a ☯ Continuum of Sustenance. Living ☯ mindfully in the ☯ middle of the ☺|☻ basic potentials of each moment, yours is a ☯ Q-Continuum of harmonic existence in full freedom from self-inflicted friction and grief!




THREE BASIC ETHICS FOR BALANCE

◄ ≡ ☻ Taking ≡ ☯ Balance ≡ ☺ Giving ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Truth ≡ ☯ Healing ≡ ☺ Kindness ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Law ≡ ☯ Reconciliation ≡ ☺ Grace ≡ ►

A lack of Balance betweenGiving and Taking is a fairly obvious problem. Neither ☻ Truth nor ☺ Kindness are worthy without a ☯ Healing balance. ☻ Law and ☺ Grace are both worthless in absence of ☯ Reconciliation. Again, ☻ Taking should be ☻ Truthful and ☻ Lawful, and ☺ Giving should be ☺ Kind and ☺ Gracious. That's a simple and obvious ethical median forBalance and Healing Reconciliation. Embrace it!




THREE BASIC DILEMMAS OF BALANCE

◄ ≡ ☻ Question ≡ ☯ Reality ≡ ☺ Answer ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Darkness ≡ ☯ Vision ≡ ☺ Light ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Death ≡ ☯ Living ≡ ☺ Birth ≡ ►

Every true question is connected with abrilliant answer, because ☯ Reality comes in integral pairs of balance. Neither ☻ Darkness nor ☺ Light alone have the power to give you a ☯ Vision of ☯ Reality! This ☯ Middle-Way is a ☯ Dance of ☯ Living Wisdom between the extremes of the ☻ Shadows of Death and the ☺ Brilliance of Life. The natural flow of the ☯ Tao-Way awakens your infinite ∞ ♥ ∞ heart ofreconciliation!




THREE BASIC PHILOSOPHIES OF BALANCE

◄ ≡ ☻ Seen ≡ ☯ Seer ≡ ☺ Sight ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Matter ≡ ☯ Awareness ≡ ☺ Spirit ≡ ►

◄ ≡ ☻ Truth ≡ ☯ Omni-Axis ≡ ☺ Light ≡ ►

In the purified middle-point of ☻ Seen (darkness) and ☺ Sight (light), there is a translucent ☯ Seer-Witness of liberated awareness in "self-realization". There too is the universal ☯ Mirror of Awareness that reconciles ☻ matter and ☺ spirit. When all things aremirrored in all things, awareness whirls in cosmic dance with the ☺|☻ Alpha-Omega ☯ Omni-Axis of ☯ Median Bliss... and there unravels the metaphysical mind of perennial mysteries!




TREE OF BALANCE IN THE CENTER OF BEING

Since human beings are rarely satisfied with two basic options, things combine and become quite a bit more complicated. When the ☻ dark and ☺ light smilies combine around the ☯ middle, and where more is required due to ☻ material desire, there follow the double-smilies ☺☺|☺☻|☻☺|☻☻ as four possible combinations, and again the triple-smilies as ☺☺☺|☺☺☻|☺☻☺|☺☻☻|☻☺☺|☻☺☻|☻☻☺|☻☻☻ eight possible combinations.

These patterns are the essence of the Wisdom Matrix, written here in ☻|☺ black-and white smilies. We start at the peak of ☯ Balance and the matrix grows in sets of one, two and three basic combinations. You can write the pattern in both directions; it is mirrored in all ways, because it is one-rooted, symmetric and balanced. Here is the self-evident |☯| Tree of Life, providing fruits and options for every sentient being...

╔═══► ∞☯∞ ► ☻|☺
╠══► ☻☻|☻☺|☺☻|☺☺
╚═► ☻☻☻|☻☻☺|☻☺☻|☻☺☺|☺☻☻|☺☻☺|☺☺☻|☺☺☺

That's a total of 15 basic symbols of awareness to grasp and experience. It's 16 if you count the (∞) infinite space where our smilies of ☺ light and ☻ shadow are floating. We're now at "base-16" of existential balance, sounding all sophisticated with the basic bits of our being. I will write about the double and triple smilies later — but it's all pointless without a ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► central heart of understanding.

So much for here and today. I am hoping that all of today's writing has been clear and simple enough. I'd be grateful for your feedback on this text on the ☯ Middle-Way of ☯ Balance and ☯ Mindfulness — it will be valuable and much appreciated! If something is unclear, please ask a ☯ mindful ☻ question, and I will ☺ clarify in the ☯ simplest available terms. Thank you for yourtrue and kind reflections!

Living Hobo Wisdom: Rock Bottom 4x Balance Median

Over the years I've roamed on many roads of balance, encountering wonderful people from almost every walk of life, reflecting on their lives, the essence of their aspirations and their world of integral values. The journey has been full of invaluable lessons on the importance of sticking to a ☯ Middle-Way of ☯ Balance and ☯ Mindfulness in all things. ☯ This is its essence.

The trend has been constant: The more people have had to sacrifice, the more downtrodden they have been, the truer and more sincere they've become — those fortunate among them that haven't lost their light altogether amidst our darkening world. Again, the more people have acquired skills, assets or charms of trivial worth, the more blind they tend to become to the needs of the surrounding world in a pursuit to re-enforce their vain center of selfish cravings. There lies the selfish root of all of our problems!

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

I was once known as Ananda "Anagarika" myself — literally "Blissful Vagabond" (or "Happy Hobo" for short!), ☯ roaming with the ☯ flow of life and ☯ reflecting on the ways of people across rural India and Nepal's beautiful mountains and valleys, many ☺ Suns and ☻ Moons ago. It was a journey to meet the essentials, to shed away the clutter, to meet the ☯ middle and the living essence of all.

On those dusty streets, in the darkness of absence and uncertainty for tomorrow, from the root of the sorrows of ailing souls, we find the truly sincere and good-hearted people, who have seen the nature and ways of suffering, and who for their living hearts do not wish to similarly deprive others, no matter how little they may have themselves. Such people have no trouble understanding the meaning and consequences of the following sequence of balance symbols:

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

1 — Above: The outer heart of balance: ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► — That's the (☯) world (☺) out there that you see, contrasts and opposites in complementary pairs of natural balance. There are the |☺| kindness and lights of giving, |☻| the truths and shadows of taking, and a ☯ balance of harmonic exchange that keeps the universe turning in tune.

2 — Below: Your natural mirror-mind: ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► — That's the [☯] world [☻] within you (and your brain too). There is the [☻] truth of the patterns of your being, the [☺] light of your benevolent insight, and the [☯] balance of your inner and outer exchanges — reflecting in your ∞ ♥ ∞ Mirror of Balanced (☻♥☺) Love.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

As the [☯] Tree of Life within grows, [☻] Truth and [☺] Light combine into ☻☻|☻☺|☺☻|☺☺ four cardinal bases of awareness in an interplay of ☯ Balance. They are reflected equally in your four brain lobes and the fourfold archetypes of countless spiritual systems, from the four archangels to the four noble truths, from the four yogic trances to the four fundamental interactions of nature. They're absolutely everywhere, if only you're in the ☯ middle and ☯ mindfully ☯ reflect.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

☻☻ [--] B1 = Introspection: Embryonic Self. This is the root of your sense of composite being, your base patterns and your essential inner self. This is where you return when all is said and done; or otherwise, when everything else crumbles down! Here's the winter root of your inner contemplative soul. Here are the root patterns of your awareness; those black-and-white dots that you see here.

☻☺ [-+] B2 = Foresight: Observing Self. This is the vine of your evolving natural experience, your reflections and your observing natural self. This is where you feel the joy of nature and understand its signs and words. Here's the spring of your beautiful soul as it grows like the flowers of nature. Here is the language of nature, signs and harmonic aesthetics, the world before you dress it in words.

☺☻ [+-] B3 = Causality: Interacting Self. This is the sword of your exchanges in the society, your decisions and your transforming interactive base. This is where you gain insight into relational dynamics and the means of completing things. Here's the autumn of your maturing and accomplishing soul. Here is the language of your mind, the ceaseless prattle of planning and scheming of your daily life.

☺☺ [++] B4 = Big Picture: Universal Self. This is the star of your evolving life-cycle, the revelations and expressions of your role in the world. This is where the expression of your essence gains its fullest nature. Here's the mid-summer of your fulfilled soul that has found its place in the universe. Here is the language of the world, the environment in which we express and combine our expressions.


These are the four "transpersonal fields" of awareness, cardinal beacons guiding the ways and lives of all who seek a [☯] wholesome life of [☻] truth, [♥] love and [☺] happiness in ☯ balance. They are neither magical nor intangible esoteric dimensions. This built-in cardinality guides you as a general compass of your inner life and outer environment throughout your eight-fold natural life-cycle. From there unfolds your whole life in a natural and straight bundle of harmonic growth in interrelated awareness. It scrolls quite ☯ naturally for those who are ☯ mindful in the ☯ middle of nature!

Specifically, it's about finding the ☻☻ rock bottom roots that ☯ unite us in the ☯ healing ☯ median of ☯ balance, where we understand the distortions in our conscious process as the root of our conflicts.

People have had odd difficulties in understanding the Wisdom Flow model I have sought to present as a ☯ balanced and ☯ self-evident solution for ☯ reconciling a vast array of problems, both internal and external. Ultimately our problems result from nothing but a bad root of inequality that doesn't seek to have a ∞ ♥ ∞ field of love that ☯ faithfully and ☯ mindfully connects the flow of the ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► external world with the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► flow of the internal world.

There are those precious few who have found in themselves enough heart and interest to ask a question or two on balance. Most people appear to skip it altogether, as if the nourishing of ☯ balance weren't a central concern in today's disturbed and depraved world. It evidently doesn't click even while it's the guiding thread in their own scriptures, simply in different words! That notwithstanding, in the world's major religions, there is nothing more at their essential heart than the "twin command" of reflective balance in equal love.

Here we see the original balance-nexus of ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► that I am now repeating over and over again in a final attempt to establish a point and have it register in the root of someone's reflective and natural brain, still uncluttered by the vanity and triviality that follows selfish imbalance. This simple pattern of balance conjoins and mirrors the ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► above (outer) with the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► below (inner) via ∞ ♥ ∞ natural love, and the rest of the "balance pyramid of equal love" is naturally and self-evidently derived.

Difficulties in grasping common-sense patterns of balance originally stem from a desire to !☯! evade a state of (☯) fair and shared balance, fueled by an underlying habitual pattern, deeply etched into our self-centered — instead of ☯ properly reflective — brains. So clouded is humanity by its deep-rooted desires and aversions, dissociated from ☯ balance and ☯ mediation on every level, that our natural situation between above and below has been tangled into a knot of colliding impossibilities.

External World: ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► — This is great, please don't screw it up.
Entropic Mind: ◄!¤$!☻!9?☯!!€6!£☺¤?► — The heart of the problem lurks here.
Natural Brain: ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► — This is great, please dig in and clean up.

Balance proper, after all, is a state of being that's by definition ☯ selfless [☯] within, ☯ selfless in (☯) nature, ☯ selfless in (☯) society, and ☯ selflessly orbiting the |☯| All-One-Axis of the revolving universe. There is the simple and universal ☯ Middle-Way of our collective existence and well-being. Inner reservations in exploring and embracing a straight and natural matrix of ☯ balance grow from the inconvenient ☻☻ root knowledge that it necessarily means we cannot [☻] take more than we [☺] contribute!

We're looking at nothing but the common sense of balanced living. Or is it common? No — in today's society, the bulk of what's being said here today, our age-old and timeless common-sense guidelines of overall balance, are far from being clear! The greed-obfuscated ◄!¤$!☻!9?☯!!€6!£☺¤?► brains of the world are trapped in a tangled, bottomless mire of egoistic selfishness, bound in a seemingly endless field of [!☯!] self-effected brain entropy and fragmentation.

This entropy of awareness follows directly from breaching the natural ☯ balance between ☺ above and ☻ below, ☺ giving and ☻ taking, ☺ neighbor and ☻ yourself, ☺ creation and ☻ stabilization, ☺ enthusiasm and ☻ competency, and so forth. Then please do the needful — ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► — please clear your brain from knowingly effected imbalance and make it straight again.

Over the past year, I've published heaps of models and illustrations for advancing ☯ balance, covering dozens of fields of religion, arts, sciences etc. from a variety of complementary and interconnecting angles. They have been illustrated and glossed in light of ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► shared root balance and the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► natural blueprint we have within ourselves for ☯ embracing the same. We need that common root — and it exists in natural patterns alone, because environment is the root of our words and very minds!

The bulk of these ☯ Balance productions have virtually fallen to deaf ears — despite the ☯ self-evident and screaming need for ☯ balance and ☯ equality in today's world. Since the work I've been publishing is nothing but a ☯ faithful reflection of the ☯ natural and ☯ straight truths that have been ☯ respected throughout human history as the ☯ Golden Rule — clad in a rich variety of associative dresses and labels — something must be terribly wrong in the overall picture of our awareness and base values.

FOURFOLD BALANCE AND ETHICS FOR HAPPY HOBOS

Here begins the rock bottom root. The following are reflections on the 16 essential ethical and lifestyle guidelines for hobos, those homeless vagabonds roaming the earth with less than most of us, outlined in the 1889 National Hobo Convention in St. Louis, Missouri. In my view, it's very reasonable to expect that everyone in a civilized society — what to speak of world leaders and others in roles of authority over others! — followed an ethical code that affirms the root basics of ☻ truthfulness, ☺ kindness and ☯ balance.

At least that much every true human being should be able to absorb and fulfill in their lives, whatever their rank and status may be, in order to qualify as actual proper human beings with a [☯] living heart and (☯) balanced soul. I have re-organized the vagabond statutes into four symmetric sets in four dimensions, reflecting the essential, cardinal directions of your evolving awareness on the road of life.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►

I know for a certain fact that, were I to take a print of this text and show it to one of my many friends at one of the many corners of the ailing streets of the world and we'd talk it through, they would understand all of this perfectly well, and moreover find it quite essential. That is the "society" I am used to, and such people are the ones who will one day come to inherit a (☯) world of ☯ balance, for they are living ☺ creators and ☻ stabilizers of ☯ balance themselves. (I had been hoping, returning to West in 2008, to find more of the same root.)

On the other hand, every ◄!¤$!☻!9?☯!!€6!£☺¤?► screw-brain who habitually takes more than he gives will be naturally deprived of whatever was (!☯!) unjustly and irresponsibly amassed, [!☯!] causing untold distress to others in pursuance of their selfish, ego-centered lust, greed, envy and other "demons" within. There's no faith or magic in any of that; it's simply the natural |☯| Axis of Balance for all. The closer we can come to the unified roots we share, the more our ailing world will naturally heal.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


Hobos often walk in the ☯ middle of railroad tracks.
It's good for ☯ mindfulness and ☯ mediation skills!

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


☻☻ B1: INTROSPECTION = INTEGRITY AND SELF-ESSENCE ☻☻

B1.1 ☻☻ [--] Introspection: "Try to stay clean, and boil up wherever possible." For if you were to be habitually filthy and negligent on the inside, filth and negligence will also grow roots deep within you. Bathing and cleaning should be applied equally to body and mind — today's problems span from fundamentally impure minds!

B1.2 ☻☺ [-+] Foresight: "Do not allow yourself to become a stupid drunk and set a bad example for locals' treatment of other hobos." For you never live in a vacuum, your lifestyle and appearance are always an example for someone — so help heal the world by first being a healed example yourself.

B1.3 ☺☻ [+-] Causality: "When no employment is available, make your own work by using your added talents at crafts." For it is better to engage the mind naturally than to let it sink into the torpor of inaction; it is always better to be useful for others, one way or another, and contribute to the whole.

B1.4 ☺☺ [++] Big Picture: "Decide your own life, don't let another person run or rule you." For it's your journey of life and your lights and truths to be fulfilled in the world — and no other human is ever great enough, or available enough for that matter, to responsibly hold the full reins of your life.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


☻☺ B2: FORESIGHT = MINDFUL AND RESPONSIBLE LIVING ☻☺

B2.1 ☻☻ [--] Introspection: "Always respect nature, do not leave garbage where you are jungling." For you're jungling in a shared jungle at all times, and garbage left by someone is always garbage found by another — whether human, animal or plant!

B2.2 ☻☺ [-+] Foresight: "Help all runaway children, and try to induce them to return home." For whoever is lost from a house of love, they become lost to a life of love too. Mutually supportive communities of balance are vital for the growth of spirit and a satisfying life.

B2.3 ☺☻ [+-] Causality: "When traveling, ride your train respectfully, take no personal chances, cause no problems with the operating crew or host railroad, act like an extra crew member." For heedlessness and a lack of mindfulness is to your detriment, as it is to others. Rather seek to always improve the situation you are in — even if you don't have to!

B2.4 ☺☺ [++] Big Picture: "When jungling in town, respect handouts, do not wear them out, another hobo will be coming along who will need them as bad, if not worse than you." Both nature and society have (or should have) benevolent outlets for balancing the lives of the truly needy. Use them for your necessary needs only — lest you make others deprived as well by your indulgence!

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


☺☻ B3: CAUSALITY: DUTIES FOR SOCIAL BALANCE ☺☻

B3.1 ☻☻ [--] Introspection: "When in town, always respect the local law and officials, and try to be a gentleman at all times." For if you cannot respect the prevailing rules of natural balance, you disrupt the very own roots atop which the social jungle of harmonic and ethical exchange is built.

B3.2 ☻☺ [-+] Foresight: "Do not cause problems in a train yard, another hobo will be coming along who will need passage through that yard." For in your mindless mischief that will result in the future troubles of others, remember the curses of the people who'll have to harvest the foul seeds that you planted.

B3.3 ☺☻ [+-] Causality: "Do not allow other hobos to molest children, expose all molesters to authorities, they are the worst garbage to infest any society." For whenever you see the filth and the muck of depravity, it is you who is there to intercede and no other. Always do whatever you can to avert injustice!

B3.4 ☺☺ [++] Big Picture: "If present at a hobo court and you have testimony, give it. Whether for or against the accused, your voice counts!" For if you do not contribute your share towards collective transparency, there will never be a world of equality and fairness for anyone. And we need one!!

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► ∞ ♥ ∞ ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ►


☺☺ B4: BIG PICTURE: SHARED ALL-ONE CONTRIBUTIONS ☺☺

B4.1 ☻☻ [--] Introspection: "Don't take advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable situation, locals or other hobos." For if you abuse those who are already at their bare roots, your own roots will come to rot away as well when it's time for the circle of life to become full and whole again.

B4.2 ☻☺ [-+] Foresight: "Help your fellow hobos whenever and wherever needed, you may need their help someday." For to offer a helping hand where there's an absence is like the breeze of a joyful spring after the darkness of a winter of absence! Always return a favor, and better do it in advance!

B4.3 ☺☻ [+-] Causality: "Always try to find work, even if temporary, and always seek out jobs nobody wants. By doing so you not only help a business along, but ensure employment should you return to that town again." For if you contribute to the cycle of exchanges, the cycle of exchanges will grow healthy and have the means to reward you too.

B4.4 ☺☺ [++] Big Picture: "If in a community jungle, always pitch in and help." For we are all together on this planet. We all survive on nothing but the ☯ balance that is our ☺ lively wine and ☻ practical bread, and their blessed ☯ communion of ☯ balance for all is a vital necessity in this sad and deprived world.

For those who cannot grasp and stick to even such a basic set of obvious self-evident vagabond ethics from a century back in their lives — know that everything you have unjustly amassed have will one day become theirs! You will (☯) in turn have to become a destitute to learn bitter lessons on the vitality of balance and collective contributions. That is, if you are to ever grow in life, being [☯] fair and equal for (☯) all of us and ☯ all that is!

There is the natural law ofbalance. It's better to [☯] embrace it proactively. Reactive unraveling of unequal situations tends to become a messy display, as we readily see the world over as the riots and revolutions are growing from a ☻☻ frustrated root looking for a ☻☺ spring of balance! At our essential root, we're all mere homeless vagabonds in transit. Some of us hobos pretend that we own all of nature, though! Nature begs to disagree...

Hobos and others who are downtrodden and deprived tend to be humble and sincere. That is something 95% of the people in this world most certainly are not in comparison, wrapped-up as they (you?) are in their own precious mental mazes of endles desires and cravings, coloring your perception of the world around you to better suit a convenient navel-centered orbit. (This applies where the shoe fits. Be sure to check the size of your footprint regularly!)

Humility and base receptivity however are the one and exact same root essence. If you are not receptive, you will never gain anything. If you are fully open to give something new a chance, then you hold a potential to gain everything. Therefore, remember — !☺! pride before the !☻! fall — as heard in every ☻ true ☺ insight of ☯ wisdom since the |☯| dawn of time!

Below is my precious homeless friend from Ireland, Mick Kowalski. He's a hobo living in Galway, Ireland, in a homeless shelter near the headquarters of the IT company I used to be a CTO for. Here he's just concluded the "Ballad of Billy Reed" with tear-filled eyes. Billy was a relative of Mick's who had struggled for justice and equality in Ireland, sacrificing his life in the process.

When we had our first chat, and when he heard I worked in IT, he asked if I could possibly, some day at my convenience, find the words for this song, because he had forgotten them over the years. Things like that touch their hearts and are important for them, and they equally touch mine too, because there is seen our true human essence. Not in this load of abusive crap that's called our advanced modern civilization, now crumbling before its !☯! self-effected !☺! chaos and !☻! entropy.

I bumped into Mick on several occasions on my morning walks in Galway. Sometimes he would sleep on the February-cold sidewalk under a worn-out blanket (they wouldn't let him in late, even for valid reason), or sit about and ponder the true ways of life while sipping away his cider. But he is sincere and wise, as are his many friends. What I shared with them, sitting on the cold sidewalks, were by and far the most beautiful and profound discussions of my entire trip to Ireland. If you live or visit Galway, please say a kind hello and give him a quid for whatever he may truly need; he wouldn't ask for more.

These "true-to-root" dwellers and vagabonds had no trouble relating to what I was saying, or understanding my writings for that matter. Mick was the first to read my draft of "On Friction and Performance", exploring the way we grind our minds with our own reactions in the course of our daily lives. His comments remain the most substantial I have received to date. He really grasped its gist with remarkable ease, touching a layer of transparency between action and reaction, as we talked about intercepting and overcoming anger-impulses that he (as many) at times struggled with. I hope that he is ☯ well.

If you have trouble following what I have written here, then please print this out and go ask Mick and his homeless friends, and convey my greetings along with apologies that I couldn't make it to meet him again before my departure to buy him that breakfast I had promised; the wheels of Babylon had me by a noose. He wanted to just have a natural exchange of perspectives, learning more of the ways of the world I had seen, and vice-versa. I was very enlivened by his stories and experiences; he'd been in jail and spent the duration of the time in studying philosophy, culture, etc. to expand his perspectives.

There will be nothing more unclear over the essential message — that's now being shouted from the rooftops here — when Mick and his friends read, absorb, and then explain all of this basic stuff to you. It would not take them more than an hour to grasp and express all of this in practical terms. It's not too complicated at all. It's too basic, and it's too essential. But for that ☯ balance-essence, you need to be ☯ mindful and pause in the ☯ middle, always considering ☺/☻ both sides of the story. That vital necessity is only understood by those that have touched their root and suffered enough!

Summa summarum for hobos and everyone else who's looking for that long-awaited mystical disclosure of a |☯| universal compass for (☯) human equality, (☯) healing planet and [☯] mindful living:

☯:☺☺ Planetary Balance: Big Picture / Universal Self. ∞ ♥ ∞ Keep in ☯ Balance!
☯:☺☻ Social Balance: Causality / Interacting Self. ∞ ♥ ∞ Keep in ☯ Balance!
☯:☻☺ Natural Balance: Foresight / Observing Self. ∞ ♥ ∞ Keep in ☯ Balance!
☯:☻☻ Individual Balance: Introspection / Embryonic Self. ∞ ♥ ∞ Keep in ☯ Balance!

That's all there is to get your initial calibrations right. From there onwards and downwards, as long as you keep the ☯ median of ☯ balance as the ☯ center of your awareness, whatever follows will fall into the natural pattern above and below. When things are natural, conflicts are naturally resolved. When things are artificial and people are wrapped up in their verbal hubris without touching the root, nothing will ever be resolved. We need the full spectrum, and people need to clear their brains in ☯ mindfulness.

Here's a starting point for those of you who are enthusiastic about finding a way of reconciling different religions. (Written with Maitreya hat on. Please don't mind if you're not a believer in anything, just try and focus on the ☯ point that's at the ☯ heart of this ramble.) Don't mash the religions all together at once, please — first see where they're coming from, and more importantly why!

☯:☺☺ Planetary Balance | Universal Self. ► This is the "All-One-Axis-Throne", the root median hub of the universe. It was established in |☯| Islam as the ∞☯∞ Axis Mundi by ☯ MahaMadhya in ☯ Makka (near ☯ Medina) for a unifying |☯| All-One-Median of the interconnecting world.

☯:☺☻ Social Balance | Interacting Self. ► This is the "All-One-Human-Sphere", the root median hub of humanity. It was established in |☯| Christianity as the exemplary ∞☯∞ Self-Sacrifice of the ╬ Median-Cross by the ☯ Reconciling [✡✡✡] Son of Man of the ☯ Ikthys Twin Command.

☯:☻☺ Natural Balance | Observing Self. ► This is the "All-One-Natural-Sphere", the root median hub of our natural planet and environments. It was established in ∞☯∞ Vedanta by ☯ reflection on the ☯ integral and immanent nature of the ☯ Universal Spirit in the phenomenal world.

☯:☻☻ Individual Balance | Embryonic Self. ► This is the "All-One-Inner-Sphere", the root median hub of the liberating mind. It was established in ∞☯∞ Buddhism by ☯ mindfulness on the ☯ Middle-Way of ☯ meditation and ☯ mental resolution to systematically effect an end to all suffering.

When these four spheres are intervowen, and when the ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► great |☺☺| quantum-bipolar order above is reconciled with the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► inner [☻☻] quantum-bipolar order of the brain, and the ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► natural |☻☺| quantum-bipolar order in midst is reconciled with the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► social [☺☻] quantum-bipolar order of the civilization, we will all enjoy ☯ balanced ☯ equality as ☯ all-one across every sphere of ☯ harmonic existence.

That is the essentialmiddle-way and elementaryroot concept that everyone — that is, all those looking for ☯ balance and ☯ mindful ☯ co-existence — is looking for.

Otherwise, there's of course theMedian-Face of ☯ Mahdi (of Maha-Madhya-Makka) shining on the ☯ Balance-Moon for a ☻☺ new spring from the ☻☻ Antscient Cave of Antiochia. It might tell you that somewhere in between the lunar and solar eclipses, the ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► above out there matches and mirrors with the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► below in you, if only you were to ☯ meditate on the ☯ middle-point of the ☯ All-One ☯ Middle-Way of existence, sticking to the ☯ equalizing ☯ root-point in the ☯ middle.

How about that for a naturally healing solution forbalance andequality? It does sound simple enough, so I gather it's a more of a question of (a lack of) will than it truly is a question of qualifications or practicalities standing in the way of balanced transformation.

Pardon me for repeating thebalance symbols time and again, but I am desperately trying to make a ☺ point or ☻ two on ☯ balance to demonstrate that you really need to pause and see what's being written, considering it in light of our smiling ☺|☻ two witnesses in balance — along with the natural matrix of balance that follows in their wake.

Space elves and divine intervention aside, we need to also move our personal rear ends and collaborate selflessly — and there's no time like the ☯ middle-time of now! — towards shared practical goals of multilateral balance. The sad fact is that most people still apparently see nothing much wrong in the world — not enough to merit adjustments and participation from amidst their habitual lazy-comfort-orbits, anyway.

Miraculous solutions may or may not one day rain down from the heavens to automatically solve our problems on our behalf. One thing is for sure, though: If we don't begin to reflect on how these anticipated "savior promises" could be fulfilled in practical terms, there will never be a platform where change could unfold.
