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.

— 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..."

Enigmatic Soul Matrix of Eight Principal Towers

Pondering the Great Enigma of the Sphinx of Heaven, the Soulless Soul-Seeker returned to the enigmatic labyrinth in search of a primal key to present for passage into domains unknown. Thirsty for the waters of the Stream of Infinity, Pogo held a long and silent vigil of contemplation. He was pooling strength and insight to take on the Towers of Confusion looming above the great and perplexing maze of reality.

≡ The Great Vision of the Sphinx of Heaven ≡
A timeless riddle of polarities and archetypes is reflected in countless models of systemization
and enlightenment across the ancient worlds. Some reach for the matrix by magic and mystery.
Others model it as elementary patterns. Despite our theories, the matrix grips us hard and fast.

Pondering the Great Enigma of the endless labyrinth of reality, Pogo gazed at the Sphinx of Heaven beyond twelve long cycles before the Sun. On the thirteenth hour of the final day of the introspective vigil, the sky transformed with Moon squaring Jupiter and imploding into itself. A pattern emerged from the third eye of the being in a vision of celestial splendor. Knock on the Sphinx, and the Sphinx will knock back. Listen to the Sphinx, and the Sphinx reveals the primal nature of the mind.

The cryptic matrix of patterns engulfed and embraced the Heaven above and the Earth below. Then Heaven and Earth merged into a united matrix of polarities, blessing Pogo with a worthy map for navigating the perilous paths of confusion in the great matrix of perceptions and premonitions. The formulae written in the sky were a blueprint of the obstacles ahead, a guide revered by sages and seers since the time sentience was first derived from the mirror of the cosmic hub.

The Eight Towers of Confusion are the domain of General Confusion, the iron-fisted ruler of all sentient beings. General Confusion is the binder of souls in tight and impenetrable nets of steel, the great puppet master in charge of wanderers in the enigmatic labyrinth of endless plurality.

The Principal Towers are eight in number, the Phenomenal Towers are four in number, and the Axial Towers are two in number. Each tower yields an axiomatic key for unlocking the secret treasure chests of the great matrix. The Golden Mirror at the inner chamber of the conjoining peaks of the Axial Towers holds the integral key for unlocking the primal riddle.

Pogo's progress through the Towers of Confusion was inscribed in the sky by the all-seeing Sphinx of Heaven, recording the greatest conquest in the history of being. The thoughts of all sentient beings are witnessed by the lamp-posts of light and darkness and stored in the endless book of deeds, a carefully guarded secret in the great repository of knowledge beneath the sphinx.

The Sphinx of Heaven mediates passage for those who seek the unseen and unheard spheres of infinity, acting as a reflective inquisitor for sentient beings on behalf of the evasive Prime Riddler of the worlds. This is the tale of Pogo's epic quest across the Principal Towers of Confusion, written across the ancient heaven in days beyond the grasp of human memory.

≡ Thundery Tower of Confusion: Fourth of the Eight Principal Towers ≡
Reaching for the key of thunder, Pogo has to plot a clever course around the obstacles.
They appear in all directions, flying in formations of Two-as-Four and Two-as-Three-in-Eight.

"Tower of Earth [---]. This tower is extremely tranquil and the pull of gravity is formidable. Each floor is filled with large and fearsome beings, proud of their position, unwilling and unable to move on their own. They become more cooperative when I contemplate on their primal stillness, humbled before the immovable solidity of fundamental being. When I absorb myself in the nature of their essence, they lift me peacefully upwards. If I have pride in passing one, the next one will bind me down. The peak of this tower conceals the key of receptive awareness.

"Tower of Mountain [--+]. This tower is a firm and imposing gigantic beacon of power. The stairways are swarming with brave and tall beings of great mental prowess, directing countless unwilling and idle beings to carry out their bidding, absorbed in controlling their subjects and objectives. They seem to leave me in peace when I move towards my goal with industrious and single-minded fortitude. Whenever I'm idle, they insist that I carry out their endless lofty biddings. The peak of this tower conceals the key of protective cognition.

"Tower of Water [-+-]. This tower is seamless but it fluctuates and flows. Countless beings run around the base of the tower, catching drops of water from the streams flowing above. Some of the beings drink too much and drown in their own streams, while others are parched with thirst. Drinking too much makes me bulge and fall down. Drinking too little makes me crippled. The streams of nature are modest and balanced. Forsaking gluttony, the flow carries me effortlessly onward. The peak of this tower conceals the key of natural awareness.

"Tower of Wind [-++]. This tower grows wider and lighter towards its peak. The four winds are blowing from the four directions, pushing me a step backward for every pair of steps I take forward. Battling the wind with furious anger is a futile fight against the machine. The wind blows as it blows, and the more you push, the more you will be pushed. When I become as light as the gentlest breeze of wind, touching the environment only when I must, the wind carries me upwards into the sky. The peak of this tower conceals the key of expansive cognition.

"Tower of Thunder [+--]. This boasting tower is shaky and flickering. The magical gem-studded walls are painted with ephemeral glitter, flashing day and night to entice the sentient beings. Infatuated beings race after countless attractions, bouncing off the walls and hurting themselves in their craze after the alluring sparkle that lasts but an instant. As long as I remain chaste to my path and refrain from chasing and clinging to the glitter, I see no hindrance. The peak of this tower conceals the key of obsessive awareness.

"Tower of Fire [+-+]. This tower consumes itself from both directions. The walls are lined with arrays of blazing and furious beings, kindling fires of their own creation, arguing and fabricating tales all day and night to produce more fuel. Giving away the excess fuel I carry, my journey becomes lighter and the fiery beings become pleased, illuminating the way forward. If I carry too much fuel or start too many fires, I will catch fire and be scorched in the flames of my own design. The peak of this tower holds the key of analytical cognition.

"Tower of Lake [++-]. Two thirds of this tower are buried deep underground. The expansive subterranean halls are a home to plumpy and jolly beings, who find joy in interacting with the slim and and stressed beings at the levels above the surface. Some of them laugh and despise the stressed beings while longing for the warmth of life above, while others teach the stressed beings to laugh along to the tune of the ebb and flow of life. The echo of kind laughter leads towards the peak, and the echo of envious laughter leads downwards to the bottom. The peak of this tower conceals the key of subconscious awareness.

"Tower of Heaven [+++]. This tower floats thrice its own height above the ground. Luminous beings of great power and vision soar the celestial mansions and coordinate the power of the seven lesser towers. Severing the mind from my corporeal being, I can soar as a dove of spirit on wings of faith and winds of hope, guided by the crystal patterns painted in the clouds. They seem to be the map the angels use in navigating to the eight corners of the world.

"A secret chamber in the Tower of Heaven hides the eight principal treasures. The eight great treasures are guarded by eight groups of celestial beings known as the Protectors of Life, the Recorders, the Inquisitors, the Tormentors, the Journeyers, the Kind Blessers, the Overseers and the Lords of Hades. I am called for a trial of soul before each group of angelic beings before the key of divine power and vision becomes accessible. The peak of this tower conceals the key of lucid cognition."

≡ Heavenly Tower of Confusion: Last of the Eight Principal Towers ≡
Pogo seeks the key of heaven in the Integrating Celestial Sphere of the Seven Towers.
Choirs of heavenly bliss can trap Pogo in a stagnating bubble of tickling light and joy.

Reaching the eighth key of lucid principal cognition, Pogo returned to the Sphinx of Heaven in great haste. In hopes that the greater part of the quest would now be over, our Soulless Soul-Soul-Seeker reported his success in a spirit of great jubilation, presenting the Eight Wisdom Keys from the Eight Towers of Confusion before the unwavering inquisitor.

"I am now guided by lucid cognition from the Tower of Heaven; I soar on the wings of the eight great angels. I have conquered the subconscious mind in the Tower of Lake and all my intentions have been purified. I can examine and consume all things under heaven in the flames of analytical cognition from the Tower of Fire. I have also overcome gross cravings and obsessive awareness in the Tower of Thunder, mastering the law of magical attraction.

"I have conquered the gravity of my environment, floating above the four domes of expanding cognition in the Tower of Wind. I have seen the streams and pulling currents of the Tower of Water, floating on the waves of natural awareness. I have conquered the Tower of Mountain and other obstacles with great fortitude, sparing no effort to cross beyond the matrix of confusion. I have touched the primal stillness of being in the Tower of Earth, reconciling the elemental underworlds.

"Here are the Eight Keys of Wisdom I have obtained — may I now pass beyond the gate?"

≡ Eight Wisdom Keys: Common Denominators Missing ≡
Eight separate keys would lead to a number of destinations. To complete his quest,
Pogo must journey further, rising beyond towers in the principal realm of particularity.

The Sphinx of Heaven glanced at Pogo with an ambivalent smile, estimating the mind and heart of the Soulless Soul-Seeker on his journey across the great labyrinth of soul's wisdom. Pogo's premature query received a stern and solemn negative reply, and the reflective ancient riddler continued with an added enigma of fourfold-spinning towers in four directions and four dimensions.

One should not be hasty in proclaiming final conclusions, for premature conclusions lead to premature destinations, and premature destinations are a long and scenic route down to the trampoline and back up again. When potent seeds fall into fertile soil in nature's womb of wisdom and when the season is right, sweet children of enlightenment are born and made all day long.

"You have conquered but a quarter of the towers of the Primal Riddle. Do you expect eight keys to be a match for a single lock? If your heart were child-like and pristine, your thoughts would be simple and pristine, and your key would be simple and pristine too. Eight mysteries become four mysteries, four mysteries become two mysteries. The two axial mysteries reveal a key in the quantum mirror of the secret chamber at the conjoined twin peaks of the great labyrinth.

"Three quarters of your quest remain unfulfilled. Return to the maze to seek for the key once again. One door opens with one key, two doors open with two, four doors open with four, and eight doors open with eight. How many destinations do you seek? Used wisely together, the eight keys will lead you to the Four Phenomenal Towers that spin wildly in four dimensions on a binary axis.

"I am the Sphinx of Heaven, the chief inquisitor at the Gate of Infinity. I riddle the world on behalf of the unknown mystery lurking behind the mirror of manifold being. Who is who? Where is where? Answer to pass."

Sphinx of Heaven and the Soulless Soul-Seeker

The Sphinx of Heaven halted a Soulless Soul-Seeker, addressing the knocker at the Gates of Infinity with the following words:

"I am known to you. Before the beginning, I was without a center. When I was still, I became the word. When I moved, I became the world. At my birth, I grew two great limbs and danced in harmonic joy. In my youth, I grew four limbs that fell out of balance. As I matured, I grew eight limbs that became entangled in themselves. Who am I?"

As the mysteries of being are simultaneously simple and complex, they should be sought for both directly and indirectly, at all times and in between times. Therefore, the Sphinx of Heaven first posited the question in its essential form, and then continued with the mysterious perspectives of the human collective, singing the same hymns to the same primal tune in the scattered symbols and expressions of the world.

Seeker, halt! Hear these Four Primal Mysteries from the Sphinx of Heaven —
Zero-One, Two-in-One, Two-of-One, Four and Eight, One in Many and Many in One.

"I am known to you from before the beginning of time. I sought for my center, and I became the Axis for Two-in-One. I sought to integrate, and I became Immanence. I sought to spin, and I became the Golden Wheel. I sought to adore myself, and I became the Mirror. I sought to live, and I became the Experience. I sought to measure myself, and I became the Pi.

"I sought to expand, and I became the Great Explosion. I sought to travel, and I became the Way. I sought to bond in union, and I became Love. I sought to fragment myself, and I became the Ego. I sought to unite myself, and I became the Cosmic Mind. I sought to connect, and I became the Covenant. I sought to nourish, and I became the Tree of Life.

"I sought for distance, and I became the Two-of-One. I sought to see the unseen, and I became the Light and the Darkness. I sought for space to fill, and I placed myself Above and Below. I sought for a caleidoscope, and I became the Chaos and the Logos. I sought to interact and procreate, and I became the God and the Goddess. I sought to write, and I became the Alpha and the Omega.

"I sought to live forever, and I became the Father and the Son. I sought to care forever, and I became the Mother and the Daughter. I sought to love forever, and I became the Man and the Woman. I sought for balance, and I gave the Man a Woman's eye, and the Woman a Man's eye. I sought for ignorance, and I became the Doubt and the Confusion. I sought for argument, and I became the Premise and the Objection. I sought for truth, and I became the Question and the Answer.

"I sought for direction, and I became the Two-and-Two-in-Four. I sought to culminate my rotation, and I became the Sacred Square. I sought for room to move, and I became the Four Directions. I sought to conquer time and space, and I became the Four Wisdom Powers. I sought for universal force, and I became the Four Fundamental Interactions. I sought for endless variety, and I became the Four Seasons. I sought for finity, and I became Birth, Growth, Maturity and Decay. I sought for infinity, and I became the Four Immeasurable Virtues. I sought for enlightenment, and I became the Four Cardinal Wisdoms.

"I sought to experience threefold, and I became Two-as-Three-in-Eight. I sought for room to expand, and I became the Eight Directions. I sought to express the great matrix, and I became the Arachne to weave. I beheld the darkness, and lit the worlds with the Seven Torches and a Sea of Crystal. I sought to orbit my transforming power, and I became the Eight Planets. I sought to behold the vastness of my domain, and I soared as eight groups of Arch-Angels. I sought to feel my own fabric, and I became the Eight Emotional Essences.

"I sought to tangle my eightfold web, and I became Corrupted Spirit and the Seven Deadly Sins. I sought for my own nature, and I became Divine Zeal and the Seven Cardinal Virtues. I sought for synergy, and I became the Son of Man and the Seven Churches of my congregation. I sought for focus and power, and I became the Kundalini with her Seven Energy Wheels. I sought for good direction, and I became the blueprint for the Noble Eightfold Path.

"I sought to expand the spread of my infinite splendor, and I became the Heavenly Hub with Seven Rays, teaching as One across the Seven Worlds of beings. I sought to display the primal rainbow of my being, and I spread as the Five Great Rays above the highest heaven. Four great rays shine in my higher domain, the fifth a conduit to my lower abodes. Since beginningless time, countless beings of splendor have ascended the Five Great Stairs in bodies of luminous essence, passing through Two Blazing Eyes into the ultimate spirit of my being.

"At the seat of the Thirteen Cosmic Rays, I rest forever at the heart of the Wheel of Balance. Still I am not there, nor I do revel in the world derived of myself. I am not that which was before, nor am I that which was not before. Some think of me as Paradox, some seek for me as Wisdom, some pray for me as God, some resolve in me as Dissolution, some analyze me as Singularity. These labels are my trail and reflections, seen from across the great and endless abyss I have dug — but they are not me, nor am I of them, nor do I bond with them, for my nature is unbound by definition."

Seeker, halt! Answer these Four Primal Questions from the Sphinx of Heaven —
The Four Answers and the Four Cardinal Cycles in the Quest for Eight and Zero-One.

"Who am I? Where am I? Where are you? Who are you? Answer these questions from the Sphinx of Heaven to gain your passage beyond. Submit the four essential answers, cross the four cardinal cycles, join the Sphinx of Heaven on the path, enter past the gates of Unknown Mystery. Fail the four essential answers, revolve in the four cardinal cycles, battle the Sphinx of Heaven at the threshold, wander in the matrix of Unknown Mysteries.

"Solve the riddle and you may drink of the stream of Infinite Wisdom. In the great beyond, find the Primal Fountain in the Ancient Cave. The fountain and the cave sing and echo my nameless name, their melodies soothe my soulless soul, their environment beautifies my faceless face, and their end is the end of your endless questions. Pass the riddle now, or pass it later as you may: I and the Sphinx of Heaven are indifferent to the natural flux of human desire. Those who know me shall freely come and pass; and those who know me not shall return to their class.

"The tangled web of Unknown Mystery is my labyrinth of confusion. Wander around and grow younger to better learn its ways. Forgetting how to read and hear the perplexed words of many human minds, you will behold the natural patterns of my maze. Ripe and simple thoughts of child-like pristinity can forge a mighty key of wisdom, opening the riddle of the Sphinx of Heaven and I. Unripe and complex thoughts of weary, tangled souls expand the fabric of a self-sustained labyrinth, enmeshing the enmeshed still deeper in the mire of their own design.

"Mold well your Inner Key of Heart and Thoughts to enter the Boundless Mysteries of I who am that I am, and who am not that I am — for I am neither the I am, nor that which is that, nor that which is not the I am. I am that I am not I am. Entering me, you will see how you are that you are, how you are not that you are, and how you are not the knowledge of being or not being of I, or that, or you. I am not you, nor are you I, for my primal nature is not a domain for I and you. Who are we? Where is who? Answer to pass the gate."

May your year meet with success at the center of your wheel of existence, may all the good seeds brewing in the terrain grow into beautiful saplings and trees, and may the turn of the year provide a moment of new beginnings and new shared discoveries in life for all of us.

Night turns to day, day turns to night, flowers bloom and wither, seasons change,
crops are sown and reaped — life moves on in its endless cycle, and the wheel turns once again.

Everything comes in its season, and for good reason. The most we make out of the season we live in, the greater our peace of mind. If we scorch in the summer and wish for the winter, or freeze in the winter while longing for the summer, we will miss the lessons of the season, our minds absent from the present moment that exhorts us to listen to its many lessons.

Broadband Existential Body and Experience

Exposure to the potentials of Multiple Dimensions of Existence provides you with a wide array of diverse experiences of your existence. Our particular experience of existence is the sum total of everything we are and the ultimate framework and point of reference for all our cognition and action. Cogito ergo sum — a fair starting point for a basic reality check.

Below is an illustration of the key layers of existence I have grown to feel and conceive of as the foundation of my existence and experience of reality, following diverse more and less successful attempts to cross and warp the boundaries of space and time by employing any and all meditation and cultivation methodologies I've come across and found as relevant and applicable enough for me to seriously pursue.

Fields and Patterns: The Human Existential Totality

This is a generic gloss on the aspects of a broadband existential body or a more holistic experience of diverse material and spiritual realities, enumerating some of the central planes and factors of possible experience, potential, cognition, and holistic human evolution.

Light Plateaus Above, Middle and Below: Non-dual field of absolute cognition and interconnected existence. This is the dimension of ultimate peace and resolution, transcending by its nature the range of diversified cognition, eluding the attempts of the human mind to contextualize it as one or the other.

Middle Plateau: The united cognitive plateau is experienced as the ultimate abode of consciousness and being in the cavern of the existential heart. This ultimate self or non-self is non-different from and intrinsically connected to the collective plateau of non-dual cognition.

Plateau Above and Below: We are connected with the plane of universal cognition through the principles heaven (above) and earth (below), or the fundamental polarities of positive and negative. Their balance creates the harmonic flow and rotation (Tao/Rta/Wyrd) of our existence.

Four Major Lotus Fields: The cognitive crown field above the head (depicted as a pattern lotus) is the ultimate platform of consciousness, the seat of cognitive and existential ascension, and the matrix that translates universal patterns into an individual experience of reality. The heart field is our ultimate ground of existential being, the source of our expansive expression and response to the world, the location of the singularity of being and the center of existential gravity. The navel field is our base of specified existence, a fort of defense and inner power that supports and nourishes us. The sole field is our link to the earth polarity and its power, connecting the universal circuit with the above and the below.

Pattern Body: The ultimate existential body of patterns and principles (dharmas or formulae), the field that gives form and continuity to all individual phenomena, and the dimension of ultimate harmonization and existential logos.

Pattern Field: The super-pattern blueprint underlying all structures of reality, the universal patterns and principles of existence that govern the interdependent flux of phenomena across all planes of material and immaterial existence.

These are the basic factors and planes of a syndicated experience of reality with the "fundamentals" of diverse traditions of cognitive and energetic expansion and refinement integrated. There are no doubt a great many variants to this model, reflected through individual experience and insight, perspectives equally valid and legitimate for the individuals at the heart of their perceived existence.

Whatever the details in each individual's subjective sphere may be, I believe it's fair to say that extending one's sphere of existential cognition and experience yields a rich repository of new human potentials. The exact dynamics of these basic planes and fields of existence deserve to be studied in further detail in upcoming articles.

The Rainbow Body of Padmasambhava / Guru Rinpoche

Buddhist Model of Trikaya and Body-mind, Mind-stream and Heart-mind

The Buddhist system of Trikaya explores the totality of the being of a Buddha or a Tathāgata — an awakened and enlightened fully experiencing entity — in three divisions of bodies and three overlapping layers of existential dynamics.

These layers also embody the totality of the potentials of each sentient being, providing us with a working general frame of reference for the psychophysical and ultimate dimensions of human experience. Many individual aspects of the Trikaya totality have already been introduced in more generic terms under broadband existential body.

Nirmaṇakāya: This is the physical or corporeal body made of matter, the vehicle of consciousness in the human world, and the plane of material existence. The physical form of a Buddha is the ultimate Nirmanakaya.

Sambhogakāya: Known as "body of enjoyment", "deity dimension" or "astral body", this is the body or plane containing the totality of our energetic experience, culminations, and powers. Sambhogakaya is the energetic operative means for realizing the ultimate field of the Dharmakaya.

Dharmakāya: Containing the ultimate nature and essence of the uncreated enlightened mind, this body or plane is free from conceptual projection, infinitely spaceous and naturally radiant, transcending duality and cognizable patterns, woven with infinite correlations as the ultimate sheat of existence.

Dharmakaya is characterized by great purity, great realization and great mental expanse. Thence the saying, "He who sees the Dharma sees the Buddha" and vice versa — dharma being the "constituent factors of the experienced world" and their natural flux and combinatorics in our collective experience of reality. Dharmakaya is the ultimate bridge into the nondual plane.

These three bodies operate on three overlapping planes of existence, namely the body-mind (nāmarūpa: "name and form"), the interconnecting mind-stream (citta-saṃtāna), and ultimately the heart-mind (bodhicitta).

Complete harmonization of the three kaya planes and their operative dynamics leads to the holistic realization and manifestation of a Rainbow Body, also expressed and experienced as "deity dimension" of the sambhogakaya, a synthesized and fulfilled energetic body.

When the physical and energetic bodies implode and become absorbed into the dharmakaya, and as the residual patterns of the dharmakaya resolve into themselves, diversified consciousness collapses and is naturally absorbed into the underlying and ultimate non-dual plane, now emerging as the entirety of extant reality.

This existential totality is experienced through the mind-stream flowing and oscillating like a caleidoscope across the diverse planes of cognizable existence, touching their respective potentials while animating and operating the plane of matter and forms.

The totality of the experience is contained within dharmakaya and experienced directly through the heart-mind (bodhicitta) as an enlightenment-body cognizing and transcending universal patterns. These teachings are prominent in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition (Diamond Vehicle, Esoteric/Tantric Buddhism).

There are numerous other traditions with similar detailed models and methodologies that deserve to be studied in further detail. Upcoming articles will feature Taoist Mysticism and Neidan Internal Alchemy, Consciousness and Vedantic Layers of Being, Kriya Yoga of Mahavatar Babaji, Hatha Yoga and Levels of Kundalini, and many more oriental and occidental systems of internal and holistic transformation yet to be analyzed and assimilated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

the ultimate system. Arunachala, Tiruvannamalai, South India, March 2008.

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.
