Psychic Polarity Ants [++] "I-AM-HERE" !!

Meet the Antscient ANTs of Antiochia live at www.psyants.com !!! Wise ladies and gentlemen of the global community for unified ☻ peace, ☯ balance and ☺ goodwill — we are now studying the wonderful world of parabolic ANTs (Awareness Node Trackers) and the primal patternantion of consciousness with the help of antonymous legions of profound and benevolent Psychic Polarity Ants from the ☻☻ Dark Side of the ☻ Moon and ∞☯∞ Beyond !!

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

The ANTs will ☺ shed primal light and ☻ unravel shadows across all things under ☺ Sun and ☻ Moon in ☯ Balance — but only if you watch them carefully, reflect on the nature of their signs and search for associations of awareness across the unraveling natural hive of ☻ existence and ☺ awareness. According to antscient anthroapologists, this particular species of peculiar ANTs — the Psychic Polarity Ants — follow a reincarnation continuum of AmAnt Psychic Omega Buddhas in a kaleidoscopic transmutantive flow of interdependant origination !!

☻☻ The Antscient Hive of Antiochia revolves around the central ◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ► Awareness Origant Nexus of all ANTs. An essential total of three and twelve flavors of black-and-white ANTs in a base-8 binary-ternary hexadecimatrix from the antscient times have organized themselves into symmetric groups to demonstrate universally straight paths of natural balance and ascending patterns of collective conscious evolution.

☻☺ Like a reflective parabol of balance, the ANTs mirror the natural course and junctions in the life-cycle of evolving sentient awareness in our environment of complementary contrasts. Some claim that the ANTs are behind our patterns of consciousness... Keep (☺|☻) two eyes open and ¡☻|☺¡ two wireless antennas in the air to follow a pair of vital testimonies on the ANT-1-Scientific ☯ Middle-Way of the Antscient ANTs of Antiochia !!

☺☻ The ANT hive blueprint closely mirrors the ◄ ≡ ☻ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☺ ≡ ► central AO-Nexus dynamics, enabling highly optimized and virtually lossless intra-hive and inter-hive communication networks flowing in natural balance and synchronicity. This is the natural and true order of things that has existed in Antiochia since a time beyond the living memory of the twelve departments of composite ANTs in the hive. One who follows the ANTs knows the highest virtue and the truths of relational interaction !!

☺☺ This truth stands firm on the ground and the seven seas of every phenomenal ternary ANT — from the ...☺☺☺´ Peak of North to the  `☻☻☻... Deepest South — that ☻ ever lived, ☯ lives, or ☺ shall live.

Wisdom Wheels: Cat Nirvana and Dog-Zen

At this point, readers are likely to be scratching their heads over the influx of texts with heavy wisdom polarity markup. Despite appearances, there's something fundamentally simple at the roots of wisdom. We can reflect on wisdom as abstract patterns, and we can observe it in practice across every spectrum of life and reality.

Until the Integral Human Life-cycle presentation is ready to boot, here's a primer to the basic polarities of life in the lives of our four-pawed furry friends. Cats and dogs have their eightfold paths in life as well!

≡ Nirvana in Balance: Solar Cat & Lunar Cat ≡

One is a Sun with a Moon in his heart and eyes, the other is a Moon with a Sun in her heart and eyes. Lunar Cat is here at day, Solar Cat comes here at night. Lunar Cat likes sweet better, Solar Cat likes salty better. Cats know the ways and means of approaching primal Balance and total Nirvana quite naturally. And what curious companions these two have become on the great purring journey in the wheel of life!

≡ Cat Nirvana Wisdom Wheel ≡

Here's how their basic cosmology and eight-fold operations map up. This is an application for a correlative and integral pair.

[∞0] Zero-One Singularity = Total Cat Nirvana
[±] Balance = Tao of Love: Sun Meets Moon
[+] Dynamis = Male Solar Cat
[-] Neutralis = Female Lunar Cat

[++] Big Picture = Solar Cat -> Roams Outdoors
[+-] Causality = Solar Cat -> Runs to Lunar Cat
[-+] Foresight = Lunar Cat -> Anticipates the Solar Cat
[--] Introspection = Lunar Cat -> Lounges at Home

[+++] Heaven = Power Cat -> Creating & Wondering
[++-] Lake = Wise Cat -> Contemplating & Scheming
[+-+] Fire = Eater-Hunter Cat -> Grasping & Consuming
[+--] Thunder = Romance Cat -> Excited & Playful
[-++] Wind = Wandering Cat -> Detached & Expansive
[-+-] Stream = Natural Cat -> Healthy & Flowing
[--+] Mountain = Commanding Cat -> Protects & Demands
[---] Earth = Home Cat -> Sleepy & Satisfied

Cats and dogs have few problems with balance, good time, and general relax in life. We humans on the other hand constantly struggle to find even a scent of balance lurking somewhere down the road. Confusion is our great evolutionary feat, imbalance the fruit of our mighty intellects. Cat-Nirvana and Dog-Zen guide us back to the essentials of life.

≡ Esoteric Dog-Zen Wisdom Wheel ≡

Our dog is really into food. Few know that he is actually an adherent of the esoteric Dog-Zen school of primal wisdom, knower of the great secret of balance and perennial peace of mind. Humans may study this art of peace and ecstasy to the tune of Bob Marley's "Hungry Mob is an Angry Mob" for attaining a more balanced vibrational level of life.

[∞0] Zero-One Singularity = Perennial Peace
[±] Balance = Eating-Belly-Full
[+] Dynamis = Drive of Hunger
[-] Neutralis = Fabric of Food

[++] Big Picture = Overall Aware
[+-] Causality = Searching
[+-] Foresight = Expecting
[--] Introspection = Sleeping

[+++] Heaven = Raving Ecstacy
[++-] Lake = Silently Wondering
[+-+] Fire = Eagerly Eating
[+--] Thunder = Barking at Strange People
[-++] Wind = Running Around the Fields
[-+-] Stream = Following Nicely
[--+] Mountain = Protecting the Revire
[---] Earth = Evacuating

The [+++] Heaven = Ecstacy is particularly evident in the seconds between seeing food en route and the manna falling from heaven to the bowl -- he generally jumps and spins around 3x times!!! I have never seen a Christian receive Eucharist or a Hindu receive Prasada (sacred food) with the level of enthusiasm he experiences twice a day over the same old dry pebbles. We stand to learn much from each and every sentient being!

The other polarity, [---] Earth = Evacuating, appears to be equally sacred to him. The spot for evacuation is carefully chosen -- after all, they are the after-effects of [±] Primal Balance and [+++] Raving Ecstasy. Any food is truly manna from heaven and the embodied essence of good life for him. Talk about enlightenment in the food-made sheath (annamaya-kosha) and the oral-anal field!

Whatever you have, use that wisely towards balance and peace. This is the simple but profound point in all of these models, whether traditional or experimental. The center of the wheel is peaceful; and only at the center can you make some sense of the colliding experiences that revolve around you. If you have your wheels oiled well and the polarities balance each other out, it's a smoother and more enjoyable ride for everyone involved.

Essentially, [++] All ![±] You ![-] Need is |[-] Peace and |[+] Love in [±] Balance!

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.

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."

The Human Totality and Multiple Dimensions of Existence

When we seek to expand the horizons of our thought, a recurring problem lies in the fact that a great many people have a hard time following us, simply because we're navigating way out there. After all, everyone has an innate need to contextualize new concepts against a familiar grid of thoughts. What are these esoteric dimensions then, and what do they have to do with anything? This is an attempt to build a basic bridge between the conventional single-dimensional outlook and the multi-dimensional systemic perspectives of reality we seek.

Kathleen Farago May: Seeking Balance in the Paradise Matrix
A vivid depiction of the human conflict with contradicting dimensions.

Dimensions of the Human Totality

The human being is a psycho-physical totality with the two basic dimensions of the body and the mind. The physical body is easy enough to understand as a one-dimensional object. When the primary imperatives of the mind revolve around the active needs of the body, whether in acquiring pleasures or averting pains, in immersing the mind in material realities, or in collectively organizing others around parallel agendas, the mind and the body exist primarily in the same flat and familiar material dimension. Then, human existence revolving around the body is inherently one-dimensional and exoteric.

When we move beyond the physical dimension and explore our inner potentials, it's all esoteric by definition — esōterikós: inner. The concept of multi-dimensional existence is esoteric indeed, as it involves the rich world of human psyche, rather than the mere external realities of life. Despite its more ephemeral nature, it's not a domain of existence to be shunned or evaded. If one were to shy away from the depths of the human mind, one would forsake an incredible radiant pool of potentials. These inner potentials are the undercurrent of the progressive evolution of human species.

To gain a sense of the multi-dimensionality of the mind, try picturing the entirety of your own mind — your basic drives, attachments, priorities, curiosities, memories, traumas, realizations and ignorance — as a single object with a particular mass, dimension and structure. You'll find that it's extremely challenging to pin the mind down to a single and contained one-dimensional object — assuming you observe your thoughts carefully enough to to notice them as separate from your base consciousness to begin with.

Having reached for the form of your own mind, now try picturing the minds of people you know in similar terms, and you'll get a good insight into the social layer of multi-dimensionality. The world you see is formed of countless subjective mental bubbles, each with their distinct characteristics, dimensionality and trajectories, colliding with each other in blissful ignorance of the underlying operative principles.

The human totality and its potentials are much greater than the simple day-to-day needs we face and tackle. The dimensions of the mind are essentially infinite, only restricted by self-imposed cognitive restrictions that keep your consciousness oriented and focused on the everyday world alone. If you learn to probe into the depths of your mind, first exploring the active patterns of your mind and conquering them, and then exploring, unraveling and coming to terms with your subconscious mind and its latent traits, you will discover an emergent potential of countless possibilities yet undiscovered and unexplored.

Kathleen Farago May: Matrix Mandala
There are infinite potentials in the interwoven dimensions of our reality.

The Benefits of a Multi-Dimensional Mind

The benefits of mastery over the one-dimensional drive of the mind, or in other words a skill for real time mental management and optimization, are too many and obvious to enumerate here in detail. Learning to map and project your own inner patterns and potentials, you will approach a platform where you can shift  your cognition from a limited individual perspective to collective perspectives — without the constant interference and distractions of the individual mind with its countless idiosyncratic imperatives. Moreover, it's hardly possible to live in a spirit of equality and do unto others as you would have them do unto you without grasping the constant and variant dynamics and dimensions of the many minds we meet.

Increased focus in introspective capacity and pattern recognition are central human assets beyond the "mere" comprehension of your own unrealized potentials. The better you learn to understand the abstract patterns guiding your mind and the minds of others, the clearer your perception of patterns in the environment becomes. The better you understand the diverse dimensions in which the minds of others move, the better you are able to understand their subjective imperatives and capacities.

With full recognition and abstraction of your mental contents and dynamics, the entirety of your know-how can be converted into general-purpose formulae. You then become the ultimate observer and CEO of your mind, able to switch in and out from the pull of your psychological currents at will, and able to adapt your abstracted know-how across diverse fields of life. For the simple fact that it helps you intercept the emergence of negative patterns within you before they turn into action, it's well worth it.

The more holistic your understanding becomes, the better you will be able to intuit the future. In this, we are no longer working with magic or visions — we are working with scalable causality and probabilities. Then, whether we're talking about commerce, politics, society or sports, impartially observing and understanding the extant and emergent patterns gives you undeniable leverage beyond those unable to perceive, model or project the course of events beyond the scope of immediate and evident causes and effects. Nostradamus of visionary fame would gaze at the patterns of the skies and ponder on the patterns of the known world, reconciling them into probabilistic predictions of the future of mankind.

Kasmin nu vijñāte sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavatīti? — "By realizing what does all of this become cognizable?" — asked the budding sage from the ancient seers of India. That, by which everything else becomes cognized, is the ultimate dimension that synthesizes and reconciles all other dimensions into a symmetric and immanent whole. While the ultimate "source code" of existence is nondual and incomprehensible to the dimensionally challenged human psyche, as we journey through the layers of the mind and approach greater depths, the world reveals itself repeatedly in renewed and broader terms, providing an infinite fund of knowledge for anyone with the eyes to see.

Kathleen Farago May: Offering
Mastering the patterns, you'd be in a real position to make a positive offering.

Dimensional Conclusions

This quest for mental expansion is the basic foundation and motivation for many of us who choose to journey into cosmic mansions in between and during our everyday routines. It's not about an idle intellectual curiosity or a misguided metaphysical quest devoid of real life relevance. Quite to the contrary: It's about seeking to comprehend the totality of our human situation, taking control of and optimizing our own existence, and transcending the inner and subsequently outer limitations imposed by our mental and social environments.

There is an abundance of existential and functional dimensions the mind can reach for and learn operate in — beyond the above essential strata for gaining basic control over our lives and recurring situations — but they are too numerous and too far outside a general frame of reference to be featured in this article. To name some Indic and Oriental schools of thought for historical reference, the extended potentials and dimensions of the mind have been systematically discussed for example in Theravadan teachings on mental focus and absorption or Jhana / Dhyana, the rapid psychological transcendence and enlightenment of Zen, the truly esoteric and symbolist Vajrayana, and the mental remodeling methods of Advaita Vedanta and Raja Yoga.

Understanding the dimensions of the mind is undeniably a quest worth embarking on, should the world you experience through your senses ever begin to look stale and restrictive. This discovery of additional dimensions overlapping and interacting with the gross every-day reality is critical in forming a working synthesis between the matter and spirit in your being. In the process — as long as you remain vigilantly true to your internal integrity — the world will also become that much more a better place for all of us to share and evolve in.

Five Inner Merits for Better Communication

Yahoo Shine published a fresh and "real simple" psychology piece by Amanda Armstrong under the heading 5 Ways to Win People Over, or how to deal with situations where you don't seem to link with others, and need to create a sense of synergetic connection to improve communication and cooperation. It's simple if you can take a moment to reflect on it and put it into practice — and it gets awfully complicated if you don't or won't!

Alexander the Great is famous for cutting the endless Gordian Knot.
Before using a sword to get heard, please consider the following options.

Armstrong's interviews with professional "influencers" resulted in five simple considerations on how to deal and not deal with people. When things just don't seem to click, keep the following in mind:

1. Puncture your own ego — or cut a bit of slack and be less serious about yourself and your pride,
2. Don’t be needy — or don't recruit people to ride your hectic roller-coaster only to scare them away,
3. Tell someone (nicely) what he/she has to lose — or present the reasons behind a prospect instead of building up mirages,
4. Throw a curveball in conversation — or first find common ground and then build toward the actual issues at hand, and
5. Reiterate the other person’s argument — or think of yourself in his/her shoes, and show that you actually understand their position.

Be sure to read the source article for more on the why and how of these five simple adjustments to your approach. Let's have a look at the background and ponder the inner mechanics behind, if only to escape from the often unavoidable reality of people manipulating and abusing others under unsavory pretenses. If you communicate, you have an ethical responsibility even with the best of tricks in your arsenal.

These five simple approaches to help win people over hold a strong inner merit — which is why they work to begin with, because actual positive inner prospects become shared. Your success in communication is a reflection of your own inner state. Always remember and never forget — inner peace and a sense of connection and security are attractive prospects for one and all.

The positive prospects in the above list arise from (1) absence of obsessive ego, (2) absence of greed and thoughtlessness, (3) helpful attitude of goodwill, (4) perception of unifying perspectives, and (5) a "do-unto-others" mentality with the perspective shift — and they help both you and others around you.

On the other hand, when you (1) push your ego without giving in, (2) rock on "I want it all and I want it now", (3) prefer mirages over helpful realism, (4) doggedly push on and refuse to listen and pay attention, or (5) fail to see and relate to others' perspectives — it's all downhill from there onwards.

Even while it all sounds simple, the fact is that we're all too often so lost and conditioned in our small worlds that even the simplest of considerations seem like an ocean away. As patterns and systems of advancing narrow selfish and partisan agendas escalate and collide, they give rise to degeneration, corruption and violence, ensuring a healthy dose of mayhem and pandemonium for everyone, despite possible best intentions in absence of virtue and wisdom.

Prophets emerge and diverse systems of faith and ethics are created in forming a common playground, to prevent the emerging chaos and the evils of ill will, poor spirit, and general disarray. Over time, these establishments forget their essential wisdom and virtue, degenerating and ultimately only further advancing the same dynamics they once sought to prevent. The exact same patterns are at play with nations that initially form to serve the interests of the people, and then proceed to leech and feed on the citizens as the inequalities escalate.

Wouldn't it be sweet if everyone could read and understand a simple bullet-point list, like the ones seen in this blurb? They could just grasp the basic points on spirituality and wisdom, be happy and be done with it, and move onward to living positive lives — instead of battling their own shadows until the bitter end of their days.

Embodiment of wisdom and virtue is what I consider true and beneficial transhumanism — not the prospect of plugging a hard drive into one's head, only to contain even more information...

Review: There Will Be Blood (2007)

Today's review deserves a prelude to do the depth of the movie full justice. It's a very decent movie about an all-out asura exploiting the people and the oil fields of early 20th century California, after all!

Asuras, featured in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology, are evil or envious gods, beings of great prowess and ambition, fallen deep into the dark side. As a psychological profile, asura-hood features intense paranoia, envy, cruelty, and lust for power over all. The asura's self-securing drive for achievement leads to consuming competitiveness and a division of world into allies and enemies — divided by their fitness for furthering personal ambitions.

Fully immersed in his schemes, the asura grows paranoid of others; they are all seeking to thwart him, they are his enemies, a pitiful foe begging to be confronted and eliminated. No abuse or crime is beyond the scope of the asura; his sheer hunger for control drives him to manipulate others, his conscience is all but dissolved in his dark primal instincts. In short, asura is a psychopath of some power. And if there is an asura, There Will Be Blood...

Title: There Will Be Blood
Year: 2007
Genre: drama
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/

Released in January 2008, There Will Be Blood explores the grim world of southern California's oil boom at the turn of the 20th century. Featuring the ghastly life of Daniel Plainview, it portrays some of the darkest aspects of human psyche with substantial realism, owing largely to the excellent performance of Oscar-winning Daniel Day-Lewis.

The narrative carries you through some thirty years of Plainview's life, from the beginnings as a budding businessman to a shrude capitalist who shuns no opportunity at exploiting one and all if it serves his purpose. As the film unfolds, the wicked nature of our oil miner becomes more and more explicit, and even apparently innocent acts in the path turn out to feature as aspects of his elaborate schemes.

The born-again young Christian priest of the village, a gifted fanatic with bizarre stage acts in his Church of Third Revelation, grew to be a second favorite character of mine, right along with Plainview of course, who did little to work on his largely irrational anger towards the priest. Overall, the characters are well performed, even if it is Day-Lewis's performance that carries the watcher to the farther shore of the two-and-half-hour movie, the theme of which might otherwise have not been that interesting to me.

The atmosphere and environment are well-created and realistic, camera moves very well and the occasional handheld shots create an engaging visual display. The movie is saturated with the eeriest of musics, if indeed it can be so called, predicting ill at each turn even where none is to be seen. The end of the movie is as grim and unexpected as any I've ever seen, perfectly fitting for a movie of such caliber of unusuality. Not your run-of-the-mill American tale, not by a long shot.

[ 8/10 ]
