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.

∞   Synthesis and Systemization of Existential Systems and Mental / Spiritual Methodologies   ∞


Advancing the synthesis and systemization of ancient and modern existential systems and mental/spiritual methodologies. Participate and contribute towards the systematic rediscovery of the ontological and operative principles of existential frameworks, proto-sciences, cultivation methods, and spiritual disciplines.

Systemic Spirituality (SySpir) is a non-profit initiative that seeks to expand the scope of available human knowledge in a systemic and cross-referencable generic format, facilitating ease of study and practical application for everyone seeking to expand their limited spheres of consciousness and cognition.

The Systemic Spirituality group at LinkedIn advances the synthesis and systemization of ancient and modern existential systems and mental/spiritual methodologies. If you are already at LinkedIn, please join the open group and start contributing. If not, it takes but a minute to create an account — so if you're interested, don't shy away, log in and dig in.

If you have a background or an interest in systemizable traditions of knowledge with universal relevancy, you're welcome to hop onboard and start sharing your perspectives — or asking your questions. In the spirit of the group's name, let's keep our discussions orderly and logical to ensure all participation counts and is constructive. Be sure to invite your network of contacts to expand our shared sphere of wisdom!

Strictly no ideological spam propaganda welcome: No one system held in the human mind is the ultimate truth. A synthesis of all systems and perspectives is an approximation of the sum-total of human wisdom — and the aim is to have them all fit on a single grid and complement each other, not to highlight some to the exclusion of others.

The SySpir.com website is currently in basic information mode. Once the project facilitator's desk is cleared of ongoing code production, the evolution of the site will begin to unfold. If you have ideas or other feedback you feel might be beneficial in advancing the shared goals of the SySpir project, please feel free to share!   ∞

Pogo vs. Towers of Confusion - Epic Battles

General Confusion, the veiled enemy within our lines, slips in through the gates of deficient understanding of the efficient and latent factors, variables and patterns governing the actors and the field of activity in our existence. A stubborn human lack of insight offers him a safe haven, a virtually infinite breeding ground for his clandestine sabotage.

As thorough and symmetric understanding of our base existential dynamics decreases, entire infrastructures and establishments collapse — ground to dust and powder in the heat of their own increasing friction, meeting their demise with the cancer of pathological asymmetry, leaving but a residue of ashes scattered in the winds of entropy. To gain a clear perspective, Pogo has to conquer the Towers of Confusion first.

Pogo starts his quest up the long and slippery steps of the Tower of Confusion.
He needs to press the red button at the top and take the whole tower down.
The Troops of Entropy, led by General Confusion, will mercilessly burn to ashes world empires, nations, corporations and companies, social environments, networked platforms, software architectures, and even your very own psychological domains. The Winds of Entropy and the slow-acting Poisons of Confusion can decimate everything from the smallest microcosm to the greatest macrocosm.

Learn to observe and understand the dynamics across your systems, seek to transcend the pandemonium through astute wisdom. Understand the functional symmetries of your environment, and seek to nourish and advance them with your thoughts and actions. Symmetry leads to balance, and balance is a prerequisite platform for happiness and fulfillment — rewards rarely found on the slippery slopes of confusion.

If you drive a submarine, you can move under the waves of Confusion.
Otherwise, cultivating a high lung capacity can be a versatile asset —
especially in a two-player game with a one-seater bubble submarine.
"Pogo starts from the bottom and has to find his way up to the top. Along his way to the top of the tower, Pogo encounters many different enemies, mostly shaped like basic geometric shapes. Pogo can shoot some of the enemies, while some are impervious to shooting. Contact with an enemy knocks Pogo down to the ledge below. If there is no ledge below, Pogo falls into the sea and drowns. Once he has reached the top of the tower, Pogo needs to enter a door to trigger the tower's destruction mechanism. After that, the tower crumbles to the sea. " 

Nebulus was one of my great inspirations during my early formative years with technology. Pogo's enemies, as the common problems we encounter in our lives, are mostly shaped like basic geometric shapes. The trick to success is to gain extra lives on the way up, because Pogo will unavoidably fall to the sea at times as the Troops of Entropy are raging in full spirits. The better Pogo can understand the nefarious moves and strategies of General Confusion, the smoother his conquest of the towers of confusion and entropy will become. Thumbs up for Pogo — he's my childhood hero!

condensated knowledge forms are
oscillating in my vision
comprehension unobstructed
roots of wisdom growing wild

phenomena in their nature
interwoven information
exhorting for comprehension
rising beyond human mind

open pastures, heart dimension
ethereal syndication
fundamental integration
solid self evaporating

eternity enveloping
infinity microscoping
emptiness of present instant
dancing in the open space

sipping from the wisdom ocean
medicated knowledge-potion
access insight rivers streaming
flooding lands of soul terrain

life in eden is delightful
flowerlords are celebrating
waltzing troops of crazy angels
have i touched the mind of god?
