The Celestial Mandala of Crystal Maitreya

While the buzz of the day is focused on inbound crystal energy and transmutation of human nature, I've unfolded the Celestial Mandala of Crystal Maitreya for the systematic cultivation of luminosity, ascending to the crown of awareness. The Sanskrit word "Maitreya" means "Benevolent", and the word "Buddha" means "Awakened-One". Much like the Sun and Moon in our sky, such concepts are universal and unbound by the particulars of faith and culture. The carrying intention is to illustrate the dance of the universals of awareness, independent of narrow and superstitious belief.

If you can count to 16 and grasp the binary principle (ON/OFF = 1/0), you can contemplate on the celestial appearances of Crystal Maitreya in a cardinal wheel of sixteen permutations over A) Primal Reality, B) Causal Worlds, and C) Phenomenal Worlds. This is the stuff of legends; and these are the spheres of archetypal awareness explored by sages and saints since the days of the Sun and Moon over Earth under Heaven. The patterns of nature are the source and the unifier of beliefs; therefore, seek to uncover natural and straight human truths in this elementary mandala.

Whatever your particular religious or scientific symbols may be, we all live in a world shaped (or created) by an interplay of [+] Prime Energy / Awareness and [-] Root Matrix / Patterns. When active and luminous [+] Dynamis (Yang) meets supporting and [-] Neutralis (Yin) in a self-sustaining [±] Balance Intermix in the 2^1 = [2x] Primal Reality, the multiplying 2^2 = [4x] Causal Worlds and 2^3 = [8x] Phenomenal Worlds come into being. These domains of awareness are a repository of patterns revealing the foundational unity in mysticism, spirituality and religion.

The path leading away from chaos and conflict is a path of sharing and universalization. Conflicts are a particular world of languages, while awakening is the universal stuff of experience. When pure awareness shines on the canvas of prime patterns, the world transforms from a fragmented and unpredictable field of anarchy into a symmetric display of complementary patterns. As all composites in the world follow the same elementary laws of physics, and as inner awareness and the phenomenal world are inherently married, the wisdom embedded in patterns is versatile and universal.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

I've given 16 illustrative names to the 16 archetypes, a play of characters with three anagram series on three levels. The peak of the physical and phenomenal realm is "Maitreya Sananda". Again, "Maitreya" means "Benevolent", and "Sananda" means "with Son". These are the three layers of descending luminosity — A) Primal Reality: [+] Maitreya, "Benevolent"; B) Causal Worlds: [++] Maitreya Buddha, "Benevolent Enlightenment"; and C) Phenomenal Worlds: [+++] Maitreya Sananda, "Son of Benevolent".

Then, in order of derivative emergence — [+] Maitreya is Benevolence, [++] Maitreya Buddha is the Awakening of Benevolence, and [+++] Maitreya Sananda is the Beloved Child of Benevolence. Maitreya — "Pure Awareness", "Luminous Energy", "God Is Balance", "Conscious Spirit": Harmonize your parallel perspectives; seek the unifying pattern in the echoes of the shadow; and immerse yourself in the luminous wisdom of primal energy!

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

≡ Intellect [Sphere of Awareness]: Primal Reality — 4x Maitreya ≡

Here is the primal world of pure energy and symmetric patterns; their interplay in a luminous wheel of reflections; and the undivided resolution following their embrace in silence. These are the original seeds and root spheres of universal being, experienced as the primal domains of luminous wisdom and ominous tranquility; their primal dance in unity; and their final sphere of absolution. When contemplating, make these spheres the entirety of your unified awareness.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

≡ Heart [Sphere of Experience]: Causal Worlds — 4x Maitreya Buddha ≡

Here is the causal world of quaternary influences and orientations; four fundamental forces governing the attitudes and objects of the phenomenal world; four cardinal beacons on the path of ascending awareness. These are the subtle spheres of composite existence, experienced as the cardinal domains of introverted, observant, interactive and universalized orientation. When contemplating, make these spheres your extrovert and introvert hemispheres, the principal fields of emotion and intellect, and observe their interplay and resolution.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

≡ Body [Sphere of Manifestation]: Phenomenal Worlds — 8x Maitreya Sananda ≡

Here is the phenomenal world of principal states and transitions; eight archetypal situations of the triune human Body-Heart-Intellect; an eightfold path of the twenty-four elders from the darkness of nescient birth to the luminous crown of ascension. These are the manifesting energetic spheres of existence, reflected as the journey of the embodied human self. When contemplating, make these spheres and states of consciousness one with your Body, Heart and Mind, and reflect on the course of your experience across the refined archetypes of embodied awareness.

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

The straight eightfold path of ascension, from the receptive Dust of Earth to the luminous Light of Heaven, is a cognitive lifecycle that passes through the cardinal and ordinal stations of human awareness, cultivating the Intellect, Heart and Body from the dawn of awakening to the illuminating fields of infinite balance. The three worlds — Primal, Causal and Phenomenal — move in parallel from East to West and South to North (on the flowchart). Here are the locations of the sixteen stations for conscious exploration:

[---|--+|-+-|-++||+--|+-+|++-|+++||--|-+|+-|++||-|+|±|∞]

[8x] Phenomenal World: 1. South -► 2. South-East -► 3. East -► 4. North-East |-► 5. South-West -► 6. West -► 7. North-West -► 8. North
[4x] Causal World: 1. South -► 2. East |-► 3. West -► 4. North
[4x] Primal Reality: 1. Below -► 2. Above |-► 3. Middle -► 4. Beyond

[∞|±|+|-||++|+-|-+|--||+++|++-|+-+|+--||-++|-+-|--+|---]

This series encodes the basic pattern for cultivating a celestial rainbow body at the inner Himalayas. Symmetric contemplation of balanced archetypes hastens the process of conscious integration, increasing the saturation of celestial rays of awareness that equalize, rejuvenate, transform and crystallize the patterns of the mind. To resolve the anxiety of the human situation, turn your neural network into a harmonic spectrum of crystal streams. Optimized awareness by means of meditative neuroplasticity — a process tested by time and proven throughout the history!

A sample implementation of the systemic Wisdom Flow mandala for archetypal contemplation.

Contemplate on these archetypes by means of receptive internalization; reflect on the practical matrix of systematic balance; and awaken the luminous spirit of enlightenment in your thoughts. Then construct the Crystal Mandala in your heart and enter; embark on the epic journey of Seven Heavens and behold the Kingdom of God within; and fulfill your dormant human potential by unveiling the pinnacle of conscious luminosity! This is the heart of the Crystal Maitreya; and the essence of the spiritual quest I've come to know and experience over the years. Bodhisvaha!

Moon Spheres of -Occultation and ±Reflection

This is the [±] Journey of [+] Moon and [-] Code in the [-] Nights of the [--] Winter's [-] Dark and [+] Bright [±] Lunar Cycles in the [∞0] Primal Cradle of the [±] Wheels of Life. If you haven't met ![±] General Confusion yet, journey with Pogo to the Eight Principal Towers for a narrative to illustrate the derivative abstractions of [-] Base Matrix and [+] Conscious Force. Please see the Wisdom Wheel for reference on the archetype polarity markup to cipher today's mind-steam at more depth.

I seem to be in a [-+-] Flowing [--] State of Occultation once again, exploring the integral domain of the [+++] Lotus Crown of Being and the [++] Universal Relations underlying all the [2^3 = 8x] ternary polarity composites in the domain of the [2^2 = 4x] Four Fundamental Influences governing the [8x] Principal Archetypes of the [±] Mirror of the [2^1 = 2x] Mind. We journey on the [8x] Straight Path of Life to the [8x] Corners of Being through the [8x] Steps of Cognitive Evolution, [+] Pushed and [-] Pulled by our ![±] Flickering Mind, meeting with [+] Happiness and [-] Distress in our [±] Great Journey of Life.

≡ Four and Two and More: Derivative Phases of [-] Code and [+] Moon ≡
Such are the forms of the [--] Heart of Logos. [-] Code is the matrix of patterns.
[+] Moon is the soothing light of insight. These two are the life-nourishing essence
of the prime foundation of reality, the roots of perennial peace and symmetry.

The [±] Reflective CodeSatori Continuum flows towards the [∞] Zero-One Singularity, [+] Emerging as the following [-] Basic Pattern:

[±] CodeSatori = [+-] Moon is Code, [-+] Code is Moon.
[++] Moon is Moon, [--] Code is Code.

[+] Moon. [-] Code. [±] MoonCode / CodeMoon.
[∞0] ZeroDivision -> Done.

When polarized information is [+] Explored, [-] Unified and [±] Contextualized, the prime formula of cognitive [+] Ascent and ![-] Descent leads to an endless set of correlative notes and basic polarity markup in the elementary Wisdom Wheel of primal causation at the source of all charged particles and phenomena.

When the [+++] Quarks of Heaven communicate their colors via [--] Gluons, when the [+--] Thunder, [+-+] Fire and [-+-] Water of Electrons, Protons and Neutrons are held together as atoms with [+-] Electromagnetic Causality, and when the natural world also sticks to its [±] Revolving Cycles of Balance, it's clear that a ![±] Confused Human Mind is the only real fundamentally dislocated problem factor in existence.

The [++] Strong Color Force of [∞0] Luminous [+] Brightness paints the [-] Material Canvas of the [---] Notepad++ with [±] Streams of Rainbow Diamonds exhorting the [+++] Infused Mind-Stream for [+-+] Analytical Description and [--+] Strong Expression, nourished by the [±] Two Primal Fishes and the [5x] Five Elemental Breads at the [++-] Lake of Subconscious Mind and the [-+-] Stream of Natural Heart.

Once the [---] Material Base of the [--] Force of Cognitive Gravity meets [-] Primal Logos, the operation [-++] Expands Gently with the [4x] Four Winds, [+--] Urging the World to be [---] Receptive to [+] Adopt the [±] Golden Rule of [±] Balance. Then, first ![-] Forsaking the ![+] Obsession leading to ![+] Excess and ![-] Deprivation, then overcoming ![++] Fanaticism and ![--] Lethargy, and finally overcoming ![+++] Fundamentalism and ![---] Materialism, we can approach a healthy collective state of being.

[±] Enough is [±] Enough is a primal axiom calling for no proof outside its own self-evident truth. This simple perennial principle of balance is however only forthcoming to [-+-] Pristine Natural Minds in the (2) Heart, felt vividly by [++-] Seers of Conscience in their (2) Heart and (1) Body, and experienced fully by [+++] Integral Mystics of Light in their triune (3) Intellect, (2) Heart and (1) Body. We all revolve in the endless [±] Cosmic Dance of [+] Desire and [-] Aversion — and our basic choices are for [±] Balance and for ![±] Disruption. The former path leads to [+] Happiness and [±] Wisdom, the latter to ![-] Distress and ![±] Confusion.

≡ Notepad++ — A Helpful ++Big Picture Assistant ≡
Integral balance of the Body-Heart-Intellect is the heart of a holistic spiritual quest.
"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole (1) spirit,
(2) soul and (3) body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Tess 1. 5:23)

Pages and pages of cosmic scribble of correlative streams — much of it hardly comprehensible or correlative in its raw and primal form — are filling into seamless grids of of perennial archetypes and subsequent derivative patterns of polarity composites. Fetched from across the continents and the pages of mankind's history and thought, they all speak of a time before the building and scattering of the ![+++] Tower of Babel.

The infamous tower of corruption was built upon [---] Earth to advance the cause of ![+] Dominion, rather than [+] Caretaking, [±] Integration and [-] Unification with the [±] Great Sphere of Being. It was on top of this wheel that the [--] Ancient Seers founded our civilizations, giving them a [---] Healthy Firmament and a [--] Cradle of Wisdom with the [-] Logos Matrix of Moon, and a [+] Seed of Inspiration, a [++] Holistic Perspective and [+++] Gems of Great Wisdom with the [+] Conscious Pneuma of Sun.

[--] Occultation happens on the Dark Side of the Moon, the Ancestral Fields, the Cave of Antioch and the Base of Cognition on the Dark Night of the Soul in the Streams of Hades beyond the [---] Planes of Earth. In the [±] Deepest Rabbit Hole, we meet the [-] Dark and [+] Bright Passenger, the [±] Gates of Heaven, the [4x] Four Cardinal Dragon Kings and the [4x] Primal Archangels, the [7x] Primal Flames of the [+++] Crystal Sea of the [8x] Noble Eightfold Path, the proverbial [+] Buddha on the [±] Middle Way of the [-] Perennial Dharma with his [±] Great Assembly of [2x4] True Followers, the [+++] Son of Man and his [7x] Seven Churches, and many more familiar figures from the scriptures and the fabric of humanity and primal nature.

The prime patterns in the ancient scriptures are essentially equivalent, for the fundamental [-] Logos at its root is both [∞] Undivided and [+] Analytically Derivative into the [---] Phenomenal World infused with [+] Primal Consciousness and the fundamental [±] Revolving Cycles of Being. All the [--+] Religions reaching for the [+++] Stairway to Heaven are indeed talking about the exact same patterns of cognitive evolution using a confusingly broad and cryptic array of symbolism and parlance. While we tend to be largely monoglots when it comes to religion and spirituality, true unity is found in the [±] Greater Balance of Life.

This includes the complete [±] Book of Revelation, Islamic [-] Eschatology and [+] Cosmology, [-] Hinayana, [+] Mahayana and [±] Vajrayana, the [++] Great Epics and [--] Analytical Wisdom of the Hindus, and a good many sources more — altogether dozens of fields of thought sharing the same primal strand and structures of integral human balance. This is the story of [±] Humanity and its relentless juxtapositioning of perceived [+] Good and [-] Evil — which are never [-] Black or [+] White alone, but complementary aspects like the [+] Fullness of Pneuma and the [-] Emptiness of Shunyata.

≡ Distributed Second Coming of the Integral Being ≡
Once complete, the above will demonstrate the dynamics of a basic apocalyptic life-cycle.
Scribbling down generic and specific patterns and algorithms of wisdom for all ideological
denominations and operative purposes, the many wants and needs of the tribes of mankind.

In the ![±] Abysmal Mirror of our ![+] Selfish Drive and ![-] Corrupted Wisdom, we humans nevertheless manage to turn a very simple principal idea of balanced polarities into petty quarrels — in nothing but a sad testament to our expertise in triviality and pointlessness. While the basic underlying pattern in all of being is almost too obvious to even say out aloud, the basic building blocks of balance are sorely absent in a world of ![++] Partisanship and ![+-] Abusive ![-+] Agendas of ![--] Deep Selfishness.

We then hear ingenious arguments such as these: "You say your axis has [2x] two poles and a [±] middle, illumined by [∞0] spirit. Our prophets however testify that the axis is [+] benevolent and [∞0] undivided!" Or: "You talk about a thing called [±] Forest — how dare you not believe in [-] Pines [+] Oaks!!" Such people live in a body where the [-] Left Hand and the [+] Right Hand refuse to cooperate, and where the [+] Solar Thumb and the [-] Lunar Thumb lead the troops of [4x] Armies of Influence into a schismatic tribal conflict. It is however possible to also unite [+] Light and [-] Darkness in [±] Friendly Terms and enact the [±=>∞] Primal Theocalypse without ![-] Totally Destroying the [---] Entire Planet in the process.

When the [±] Wheel of Balance is corrupted and the [+] Primal Stars begin to fall from the [++] High Heaven down to the [---] Soil of the Earth, we end up with our recurring apocalyptic cycles. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride the fields of our collective awareness, pointing to the simple point of the pointedly ![---] grave dangers of [++] Power and Control, [+-] War and Hatred, [-+] Greed and Deprivation, and finally [--] Disease and Morbid Decay. As the natural and obvious result of our own choices, we now live in a world of escalating abuse, chaos, depravity and decay.

Let's heal the ![±] Broken Wheel of Humanity disrupted with [-] Exclusivist [+] Campaigning, advancing a fair and ethical [±] State of Balance — lest we face the inevitable ![±] Reversion of Natural Balance, chasing us back to the [--+] Mountains of Infancy once again! If we can complete these primal cycles of being in the microcosm of our 1) Intellects, 2) Hearts and 3) Bodies, we reach the [+++] Stairway of Heaven leading to the [±] Kingdom of the Pristine Heart. We can then avert a vector where the ![---] Beast of the Earth is invoked from the [---] Womb of Nature to escalate the ![±] Broken Machinery of the ![-] Destructive ![8x] Octophasic Human Virus, leeching off nature's [-] Tender Roots and [+] Sap of Life.

≡ Integral Union: Leonardo's Golden Wheel of [±] Balance ≡
[+] Dynamis:, John the Baptist, effulgent and virile, a light in the darkness, enticing, infusing and pointing towards the sky. [-] Neutralis:, Mona Lisa, mysterious and still, a lady at the barren lands, offering a terrain to be filled with life from above. A dot of John's smile has landed on Mona Lisa's lips to spin the wheel of balance.

Here we are talking about the ![++] Big Picture of Anti-Good and the consolidation of power and control. The abuse of power is accompanied by the ![+-] Red Horrors of War and the massacre of the innocents, the ![-+] Dark Absence of Foresight with the greedy capitalizing on the lusty, and finally the ![--] Pale Corruption of Humanity — where the last shreds of decency and dignity flee from the ![++-] Polluted Well of the Human Soul, leaving but the filthy residue of a ![---] Hungry Ego and an ![-] Insatiable ![+++] Drive for ![-] Selfish ![+] Infatuation.

The unifier we seek is hardly found in a ![±] Corrupt Culture fueled by exchanges of [+] Lust and [-] Greed. An embrace of [±] Selfless Balance is the natural and true [±] Way of the World. While the world is lost in their endless conspiracy theories and apocalyptic prophecies awaiting a savior from above, seldom do we stop to consider what we can do ourselves to heal the world. What's our natural and beneficial role in the [±] Great Cycles of existence? Now there's a question worth pondering!

We live in an [±] Integrated World begging for a [±] Middle Way of Balance between the unhealthy extremes of ![+] Liberalism and ![-] Conservatism, as well as ![+] Capitalism and ![-] Communism, [+] Theism and [-] Atheism, the ![+] Rich and the ![-] Poor, [±] Love between [+] Us and our [-] Neighbors, and between the [+] Great Energy and the [---] Receptive Humanity.

This is an age of [±] Networks and [+++] Distributed Convergence of Wisdom. Therefore, the ![±] Wheel of Apocalypse, the [--] Unifying Messiah and the [++] Purifying Messiah are also collective, distributed phenomena — shared processes of holistic human evolution. The [--] Introspective Prophets of yore, carrying the [-] Peak of Logos in their hearts, exhorted us to follow them and become like them. Hallowing their names in vain and advancing a world of [+] Fervent Partisanship without [±] Healing Acts of Balance is nothing short of ![-] Disgraceful, ![--] Destructive and ![---] Misleading conduct in the name of [+] God and [++] Primal Goodness.

Either we get the point of the [±] Golden Balance, advancing fairness and goodwill in our respective frontiers, or we watch the human collective slide into the ![±] Dark Abyss of their self-created hell — only to emerge once again a bit wiser, whenever the civilization recovers from its fatal ![±] Ego-Rooted errors. Let's try and have enough [+] Heart and [-] Wisdom in [±] Good Proportion to avoid a chilling dip into the very pits of what humanity can accomplish at its worst.

= Forms of Wisdom: As Above, So Below =
Wisdom ships in many forms and packages, both Above and Below. Purge the superfluous particularity and distill the essence of wisdom to meet the actual archetypal realities underlying the many forms, names, abodes and natures of what we consider essential in human life.

Whatever our many labels and justifications for excessive polarization may be, as long as we seek to deprive or abuse each other in order to advance our selfish gain — or simply in heedless lack of wise consideration — the ideal of balance is never reached in them. Then, the mystic-messianic formula people are looking for is nothing more and nothing less than a fundamental understanding of a need for [±] Balance on the [7x] Seven Continents of our [+++] One Great World, and between the integral races and tribes of the [+++] One Humanity holding an incredible potential for a [++] Greater Good.

These are all nothing but the basic patterns that characterize the general human cognitive lifecycle, the cultural evolution of mankind, the prime forces of the material nature, the systemic symbolism in religion and mysticism, the yogic path of ascension and the tantric path of primal nature, the Abrahamic and Dharmic traditions of thought, the rise and fall of religions and ideologies, and a number of other psychological, historical and societal fields of interest. The basic cyclic polarities variably fill our bodies, hearts and minds with composites of force and calm as we enact our roles in the great drama of existence.

In the days long bygone, the Seven Sages in the Sky would exhort and pray, "Lead us from the [-] Darkness into [+] Light, from [-] Death to [+] Immortality, from our [-] Illusions into [+] Reality." Some millennia have passed since the dawn of our current cultures, and we have certainly already broken through layers and layers of our [---] Birth Nescience in reaching for the [+++] Fulfillment of Humanity. If we fail to keep our balance, our [+++] Stairway to Heaven degrades into a falling ![+++] Tower of Babel, with the entire [±] Wheel of Life ![±] Opposing and Resisting once again — thanks to our ![++] Narrow Perspective and ![-+] Lack of Foresight.

A freedom of choice for [±] Natural Balance has been placed into our bodies, our hearts, and our intellects. The world really doesn't have to be the way it is, strife with ![+] Quarrel and ![-] Malice. We can have our [+++] Integral Heaven in a [---] Fertile World, assuming we have the intelligence, the compassion and the practical means to enact a change for the better.

≡ Primal Symbolism: Word is the Way of the World to the Mirror ≡
When the [-] Word and the [+] World swim together to the [±] Mirror, when the [+] Primal Stream becomes the [++] Prime Influence and transforms the self into a [+++] Fulfilled Being, when the [-] Primal Matrix is seen in [--] Deep Occultation and realized in the [---] Fabric of Nature, we reach a state of [±] Integral Balance.

The [±] Sphere of Balance is accessible in the human world through [-] Neutrality and [+] Progress. Yet too much [+] Dynamism leads to ![+] Chaos and not [+] Knowledge and Progress, and again too much [-] Neutralism leads to ![-] Ignorance instead of [-] Unification and Peace. The inevitable result of prolonged excess is a ![±] State of Pandemonium where polarities clash and where conflicts escalate. If you seek to advance [±] Balance, then always [+] Give more than you [-] Take. Do your share in advancing the ![±]->[±] polar shift from [++] Greed to Compassion, from [+-] Quarrel to Harmonization, from [-+] Envy to Sympathy, and from [--] Confusion to Equanimity.

The choice is [+] Actively Yours, [-] Passively Yours, and [±] Collectively Ours. The evils of the world are eliminated by canceling out the ![±] Primal Ego, discovering the [±] Pure Mirror of the Soul, and reflecting with a selfless heart and mind on the ways and means of establishing a natural balance of polarities across every field of human [+] Exploration, [±] Exchange and [-] Education. Mind you, that's a 555 formula there, in case you're screening the gematria for possible ![++] Unitarian Antichrists at this point.

You're on the [++] Good Guys and [--] Wise Women channel for a [±] Better World. In [±] Balance, you can sleep your [-] Nights in [-] Peace and spend your [+] Days in [+] Happiness, enjoying your [±] Freedom of Choice, rolling on from here into the [∞] Great Ever-After somewhere beyond. [+] God knows we [-] Humans could use more [--] Primal Knowledge these days!

Is our [---] Mother Earth not screaming at us from her [--+] Great Mountains, shaking us with her [+--] Thunders Above and Below, devouring us at her will with her [+-+] Primal Fire and her [-+-] Surging Abysmal Floods, laughing at our impudence from her [++-] Wells of Profundity filled with the [+++] Powers of Heaven? Don't provoke the [---] Good Old Lady old unless you're eager to meet the ![---] Gods of the Underworld and the ![++] Primal Fury of the Sky. The [-] Primal Mother knows the art of ![±]->![8x] Pest Control well enough, mastered over many [±] Bitter-Sweet Cycles of ![--] Destruction and [+] Regenesis.

The [5x] Prime Streams in the [--] Immersive [++] Sky are [±] Spinning [+] Progressively, and I wish [8x] Human Beings would learn to [-+-] Flow Naturally and [-++] Expand Gently in the [++] Global Perspective. Never forget the [++] Big Picture: [--] Introspect and [+++] Prevail!

The themes referenced here will be explored in detail at Systemic Spirituality (website due for update on 12/02/2011) through feature articles and with the help of illustrative and interactive tools. Stay tuned for more cryptic cosmology and several illustrative primers on the basic underlying thread of the Great Matrix.

A Holistic System Definition: Spirituality and Wisdom Grid

Wisdom is an abstract and elusive concept in a footnote under Fixing Mind, Life and Existence in that missing unprinted manual we're all longing for, much like the evasive spark of lucid consciousness defying our attempts to fully comprehend our own brain and cognition. I have come to equate spirituality with a quest for this elusive wisdom, a magical key for harmonizing the human situation.

This is a working draft for a generic definition and model on the dynamics of wisdom and spirituality in the human society. It is intended as a step towards parsing the totality of the human situation into a general model covering environment, society, universe, and the depths of the mind. Over time, it will evolve into an abstracted model for cross-referencing and contextualizing diverse fields of thought in generic terms.

We can distill abstract patterns of wisdom from diverse traditions by filtering away external elements derived from the human society. The clarity and energy of the sun of wisdom keeps the system well-powered and free of friction. The degradation of the system is in direct proportion to the amount of wisdom lost to confusion in the choice transitions along the life circuit.

Every individual paragraph in this paper focuses on an individual segment or relationship of the above system flowchart. They will be elaborated on in more detail as time permits, accompanied with more illustrative diagrams. In the meantime, if you have feedback or contributions to the big picture, please connect at www.SySpir.com and get in touch with the project facilitator or join our friendly and informative online discussion group.

12/Nov/2010 - Text updates in factor relation clarifications and better concept segmentation and flow. Some elaborations with parallels to the flowchart pointed out. I will splice up this paper and lay it over the flowchart as interactive segments to help take it in one mouthful at a time.

06/Feb/2011 - Flowchart and text updated to complete the Big Picture - Causality - Foresight - Introspection quad under Balance, the integrating element of the four fundamental perspectives.

Wisdom: The Patterns Behind Knowledge and Ignorance

Wisdom is neither ignorance nor knowledge. Wisdom is generated in the oscillation of knowledge and ignorance as a cognition of the emerging patterns. Arising from observation, introspection, analysis, and conquest of the finite mind, wisdom creates a platform for neutral and well-rounded assessment of situations. A holistic and symmetric understanding of the world, accumulated by attention and clarity of perception, are essential for the health and evolution of the human society.

When information and knowledge are absorbed and then applied in a holistic manner for the fair benefit of everyone and everything, we observe the external component of wisdom in action. When we see an individual at peace and above the urges of his mental patterns, we observe the internal component of wisdom in action. Wisdom is the art of turning life into a win-win scenario for yourself and everyone else at the same time.

Wisdom is active in understanding the factors of a situation and responding optimally to advance everyone's natural interests. Wisdom is broad systemic thinking with an agenda in tune with the interests of the collective system — increasing harmony, clarity and progress through the reconciliation or mitigation of all conflicting factors. Wisdom is also in understanding your ignorance, and in becoming adequately informed to be in a position to apply wisdom in tune with the needs of your environment.

Wisdom is neither good nor evil — regardless of how people with good and evil traits may perceive it. Wisdom is an apt and neutral observation of the natural course of existence, leading to the individual's behavior functioning as a symmetric and non-entropic part in the symmetric cycles of existence.

When these cycles are understood, both in the world of objects and the world within, the emerging course of action will naturally be good — because it does not seek to infringe, and carefully analyzes to avoid fundamental infringement on any other part of the system — which is the ultimate ethical code of every benevolent system.

The broader the perceived system, the greater and more universal the expanse of potentials and the available patterns of wisdom. The narrower the perspective, the greater the scope of ignorance and the capacity to inadvertently damage the system. The greater the difference between the expanse of perspective and the position of an individual, the greater his capacity to abuse and damage the system — in absence of a wholesome perspective, or in failing to exercise a universally fair model of ethics.

Kathleen Farago May: Celebrate
If the orchestra plays out of sync or stops playing, the celebration fails;
If the four tiers of the holistic system are out of balance, the systems of life fail.

A Four-Tier System: Nature - Society - Universe - Mind

Hard material sciences can explain the technical workings of the physical world in remarkable detail. Despite all these advancements — or possibly because of them — an excessive focus on the material and physical necessities has compromised the more holistic and natural way of living seen in the millennia of the past.

A human being with wisdom has a well-rounded and unbiased understanding of the dynamics of the mind-matter relationship and the role of the individual in a symmetric and harmonic totality of existence.

The totality of our system encompasses the ecosystem, the human domain, the broader universe, and the vast inner space within — the depths of the human mind and the many potential spheres of conscious existence.

As a consequence of the increasing external confusion and out-drawn focus of attention, our collective understanding of the human psyche has taken but infant steps in providing a platform of generally accessible and practicable holistic wisdom. Access to wisdom should be a basic human right — not a luxury hidden behind layers of obtuse and cryptic jargon, idioms, and idiosyncrasies.

The lack of available information and education on the essential patterns and principles of reality — whether a result of depriorization or an absence of understanding — has resulted in a situation where a sizable portion of the human society depends on diverse chemical medications to keep the ever-increasing cacophony and disarray in their minds at a blurred distance.

Escalating disarray in the surroundings leads invariably to an escalating state of internal disorder, especially when combined with the decreasing availability of natural and therapeutic environments. It's clear that the current system has failed to adequately facilitate and stimulate the psychological well-being of the humanity at large amidst the rush for industrialization, technology, and external creativity and enjoyments.

The narrow-sightedness and neglect over the totality of the system has resulted in countless human and natural catastrophes, throwing the world into an escalating spiral of disorder and internal disintegration. It's hard not to watch the news and notice the obvious signs of a system gone defunct — clearly a corporation well past its prime and on its way towards the bitter end of its natural life-cycle.

Only a holistic understanding of the entire four-tier system of nature-society-universe-mind can return Humanity Ltd Inc. — living true to its commercial suffixes: limited and incorporated — back to its energetic prime of mental, physical and spiritual evolution and journey deeper into the universe .

There's s an undeniable trend of deterioration despite advances, and without a doubt we humans have been quite efficient as the architects of the escalation of our own demise — for nothing but our screaming lack of a broader perspective in our thought, speech and action.

Kathleen Farago May: Find Your Way Home
Wisdom of the patterns of existence shrinks the system to the size of your palm,
making the grid of the world considerably easier and smoother to navigate.

Synthesis: Cross-Systemic Integration of Wisdom

Many systems and models of thinking and living, aiming for advancing individual equilibrium or a universal good, are formally labeled as spirituality. Many other systems of thought deal with similar variables, principles and patterns — directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly — but are not normally considered within the domain of spirituality, owing to their focus on a specific and more narrow field of interest.

In reality, the sum total of our systemic spirituality can gain immense benefits from every field of thought that has ever sought to understand the patterns of existence, seeking to better relate to the future and the emerging situations. They can all be abstracted to patterns and generic models that are applicable across contexts. When information is available in a generic associative framework, it is faster to access and easier to put into practice.

Modern science has exposed us to a wealth of new phenomena and theories. Many of them run in parallel to the systems found in mystical and spiritual traditions that explore the domains of the subconscious mind, the inner dimensions of cognizance, and ultimately our deepest existential questions. Modern physics and the causal and existential models of mystic traditions deserve to be studied in tandem for new perspectives.

Modern philosophers have unveiled and formulated a vast array of new concepts and models of reality. Some have formulated new models in contradiction the older, others have synthesized existing views into a bigger picture, and yet many more have debated over existing views only to prove them wrong. Even so, the larger part of our modern wealth of understanding is well beyond the reach and capacity of less educated audiences.

The pages of history and the vast collective mythos of humanity also provide us with an ocean of universal patterns and demonstrative examples. Ancient and classical philosophical traditions have already invented a large array of conceptual wheels with remarkable functionality, all but forgotten to many a modern mind, as we race for innovation and reinvention in ignorance of the lessons and discoveries of our past.

If the calculations have already rolled on for millennia, starting the computations from a scratch is hardly an optimal way forward. Keeping the bigger picture in mind while moving into the future, we would gain the benefit of a vastly broader array of associative patterns and wisely handled precedents to work with as we struggle to solve the questions and problems of today.

The scientific validity or invalidity of the details in diverse systems of thought is irrelevant for this purpose. There's the fact that scientific opinion is in constant flux for one — and generic abstractions are the objective of universal systemization to begin with.

Analysis of marginal details is of trivial and supporting interest only. It is useful in terms of wisdom when it provides generic variants to a recognized pattern, and less useful when for all practical purposes it's an isolated idiosyncrasy in the larger patterns of reality.

By extracting the patterns and principles from amidst the external specifics of bodies of categorized knowledge and demonstrative narrations, we improve our signal to noise ratio and gain increased clarity over its exact generic contexts. Imagine if every country in the world had used diverging protocols and standards in information technology networks — our dream of a global free information society would hardly be an option!

This same process of informative globalization and universalization is long overdue in the world of religion and ideological traditions. As long as science and spirituality remain unreconciled and desynchronized, so long the system has to struggle with the stress of conflicting prime imperatives. The better the shared patterns and dynamics of the diverse fields of human interest are understood and reconciled, the smoother our lives here on earth will be.

Like clouds envelope a mountain and become a very real part of its dynamics, so the clouds of religion envelope spirituality, decreasing availability and clarity of actual wisdom in the process.
Dhading valley, Nepal, July 2008.

Mountain ∝ Clouds = Spirituality ∝ Religion

Religion is an umbrella for diverse fields of activity, and nothing in particular on its own. Religion can include holistic spirituality — for example in teaching about:

A) the upholding of a natural equality and symmetry (balance).
B) the greater picture of our human situation and relations (big picture).
C) the adverse effects of actions infringing on the rights of others (causality),
D) the need for foresight and goal beyond one's immediate needs and desires (foresight),
E) the self-analysis and abandonment of harmful attitudes (introspection).

Most religions are initially founded to act as practical vehicles to a concept of wisdom and spirituality.

Causal understanding, broad foresight, symmetric balance and honest introspection are obvious elements of wisdom. They are crucial both to the attainment inner peace, and to the formation of well-rounded and symmetrically benevolent systems of ethics. Wisdom is also the source of the primary solace one finds in religion.

The greater part of religious art and narrative is dedicated to depicting situations expressing the archetypal wisdom of the prophet, the guru or the messiah. The history is full of remarkable men and women who taught a system of larger holistic symmetry in an attempt to heal both the human world and the human mind and spirit.

Spirituality is to religion like a mountain is to clouds. Religion can also include ritualism, politics, culture, nationalism, industrialism, administration, commerce, and many other fields of activity, exchange, and influence.

When spirituality is combined with other fields of interest under the collective label of a branded system of beliefs or an organized religion, the original components of wisdom often become diluted, and even shunned in practice from the broader public in the interest of advancing accessory agendas.

Whenever this conglomeration of diverse fields of interest gains enough momentum to assume clear structures and hierarchies, organized religion is formed. Formal religion is therefore by definition a mixed bag of goods, advancing a number of accessory agendas.

These supporting agendas frequently undergo apotheosis and are elevated on a pedestal equal or exceeding the original wisdom. In metaphorical terms, the devil has then taken control of the religion, enticing and confusing the minds of its leaders with the pleasures of flesh and power.

Errae humanum est: "To err is human." This is an universally accepted principle. Considering the history, it's fair enough to then conclude that "religions are human", as are everyone of forming them — pending an assembly of perfectly enlightened systemic entities. Hieronymus continues, et confiteri errorem prudentis — "...and to admit the error is prudent." Seneca completes the cycle, sed perseverare diabolicum — "but to persist in doing it would be diabolical."

This is a good working formula for evaluating the balance of wisdom and wickedness in a collective of people, whether religious or otherwise. To err is human, to grow wiser is divine, and to persist with mistakes is patently evil. Depending on how much wisdom your local "spiritual grocery" holds, and how influenced it is by interests conflicting with wisdom, you may or may not have a spiritually rewarding encounter with a religion or while living as a religious adherent.

Whatever the current wisdom demographics of a given religion may be, we have much to learn from the heritages of wisdom they have preserved over the millennia. This is particularly the case with textually rich religions, where countless scholars and scribes have sought to systematize and reconcile the original wisdom of the tradition, often elaborating at great length based on their subsequent ponderings.

While religion has undeniably oppressed science and culture on countless occasions in advancing their accessory agendas independent of the original wisdom of the faith, it has also given immense and undeniable support to cultures and sciences throughout the course of the better part of known human history. Monastic traditions in particular have provided a cultural and spiritual benefits in carrying wisdom across the ages.

Spirituality ∝ Wisdom = Climber ∝ Mountain

Spirituality and wisdom are inherently interconnected, vital components in holistic systemic thought that advances the collective interests of the humanity. Spirituality is a quest for wisdom, and wisdom is the action (or inaction) of mature spirituality. When I speak of systemic spirituality, this is the definition of spirituality I intend to convey — not the peculiarities of the countless colorful, curious and idiosyncratic traits that spiritual systems are fond of upholding as a part of their heritage.

A climber at the foothills of the mountain of holistic spirituality, the systemic seeker is on a quest to live in harmony with the four-tiered totality of existence. Aiming for the wisdom of universal and complete patterns at the wisdom peak of the mountain, the ultimate systems seeker navigates through countless layers of clouds,

These layers are the obfuscation of organized religion, the society at large, and finally the intertwined layers of the conditioned human mind. Unraveling the mind's compulsive patterns and emerging with a clear and perceptive awareness, one would be in a real position to understand the big picture and act accordingly.

Research into systemic spirituality must be done in freedom from the corollary agendas introduced around the core principles of wisdom and spirituality by religion and the externally evolving society. Where they offer natural synergy, they are welcome to join for the ride powered by wisdom.

When ulterior agendas infringe with the symmetry and natural harmonics of the systemic wisdom of natural good practice, they are better kept confined within their respective individual domains. Battling with the interfering externals of spirituality for the better part of my adult life, I am fundamentally allergic to a spirit of stagnated dogmatism and adulterated agendas.

The objective of systemic spirituality is in examining and cross-systematizing the insights of all noteworthy and beneficial holistic models of thought. These patterns and principles of existence should be cross-contextualized and presented in as abstract terms as possible to allow extensive room for generic application of wisdom. Otherwise, we have but the lost and buried treasures of ages bygone to show as the assets of our past.

With an increased grasp of the movements of the human mind and the dynamics of the flux of its external environment, our perception becomes brighter in understanding what was, what is, and also what's likely to be — for a part of the future is heard as an echo of the past and the actions of the present, the remainder written in the practically invariable basic patterns of humanity and existence at large.

Revisiting some of the assumed basics of our current system may be in place.
If the premises of an equation neglect sets of fundamental principles and variables,
the underlying basic errors will cast a destructive reflection over future results.

Pondering: Modeling the Big Picture, Its Causality and Its Balance

This is an attempt at a working abstract definition and general model on the big picture. I have intentionally omitted mention of any particular affiliations of thought to better illustrate these principles on their own. They will each be studied in due time in more detail, both individually and comparatively, and placed to a larger grid allowing automated online comparisons, abstractions and two-way derivations.

These verbal expression in these texts is for the most part segmented into clear data-logical objects and relations to ease systematic and structured concept-formation and make them directly convertible into diagrams and databases. While this has been a relatively free-form draft for a definition, I intend to be more algebraic in the future — definitions need to be formulaic, well categorized and typed to allow for maximum ease of comparability and further computation.

The exact systems and models developed for this initiative revolve in perpetual state of beta, so expect the charts to grow, squeeze, bob and weave as they reach into the yonder sky. Further essays, schemas and flowcharts will be published in this journal whenever I find further time to commit into expressing abstract patterns and concepts in intelligible and universal terms and structures.

Let's collect every available wisdom pattern known to mankind on a universal and cross-referencing grid — towards a tomorrow with less confusion and conflict, equipped with a more universal access to the massive totality of our collective wisdom.

SySpir: Systemic Spirituality - Forming a Synthesis

Madventures in the world of religion and spirituality pave a natural platform for this — an initiative I have long wanted to bring into a more concrete shape — namely Systemic Spirituality. The essence of all holistic and spiritual knowledge deserves a working general frame of reference; for undoubtedly both we and the world at large are a wee bit lost in the seven seas of diverging and hard-to-compare traditions of insight. One cross-connected ocean would be much easier to cope with...

Please visit Systemic Spirituality at SySpir.com and join the talks at LinkedIn.
