The Celestial Mandala of Crystal Maitreya

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

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

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

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

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

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

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

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

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

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

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

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

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

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

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

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

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prime Energy - Source Awareness

Above and below spins the orb of luminosity in a perennial field of awareness; today's recipe comes from Patanjali's Yoga-sutra. Patanjali (150 BCE) synthesized a "yogic summary code" on the basis of the essence of extant traditions coupled by direct contemplative experience. He also understood the cognitive and existential roles of Isvara and Pranava (alias "God" and "Word of God"), two prime roots commonly emphasized in religious traditions featuring faith, prayer and worship as the practice for deliverance.

The following passages are translated from the first chapter ("Samadhi-pada") of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, a discourse on the nature and sequences of Samadhi (luminous union of awareness) that leads to the complete resolution and pristine unification of fragmented human awareness.

"Its utterance is the living sound (Pranava). By its mutterance, its purpose is understood. Then, awareness becomes inbound and obstacles disappear."

◄ ≡ ☺ ≡ ☯ ≡ ☻ ≡ ►

For the Ancients of East, the living sound was the syllable Oṁ (AUM: ॐ), the voice first heard in perennial emptiness; and it was the sound of the breath of God ("prana") that evolved. In accordance with their desires and methodologies, they sought Prime Awareness in diverse intelligible forms and domains, and ultimately beyond the worlds of names and forms, following the inner breath and voice of God.

For the Ancients of West, this self-same living sound echoed at the dawn of emergence; God contemplated over the void, and Amen ("so be it") — the creation came forth and expanded. "These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation." (Rev 3:14) Amen is a Word from God's heart; therefore say /ɑːˈmɛn/ to feel the breath of God and Word of truth in your heart; /eɪˈmɛn/ is a half-hearted twist of sounds.

For the Moderns of East and West, much of the universality of these ancient teachings are lost in a jungle of obsessive particularity. Since the falling of the Tower of Babel, since the dawn of the Age of Quarrel, mankind has struggled to find unity among their manifold concepts and languages. Religious disagreements are generally a result of superficiality and narrowness of perception. Out of the shadows and into the substance — dig in and expand!

Valentine's: Love All Beings - Love Your Planet!

Love is a universal force. Have it and spread it wisely for all! When love is a universal, it heals and beautifies. When love becomes narrow, it incites and consumes. Have balance in love, life and deep within; — and have love for balance, life, and deep within.

While love is in the air, let's put it into good use and paint the world in lush colors of crimson and green!

The confederation of angels has assembled;

lust, hatred and delusion are now bizarre tales the grandfathers tell;

harmony prevails, there is now a foundation for universal peace!

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!

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."

Spiritual Synthesis: Wisdom Singularity Flow Model

When we are struck by a thought we feel is truly profound, we tend to think of it as wisdom. On closer study, we also tend to find that it's recurring and universal. When the wisdom is benevolent, it harmonizes conflicting polarities and leads us to a level plane of balance and unity. Such elementary truths are the base fabric of our manifold fields of existence.

True wisdom is hungry for its own reality, reaching out into the universe to gain more wisdom from across time and space, from throughout the collective history of human civilization. This wisdom leads to a singularity of human knowledge — perhaps a curse, perhaps a blessing, perhaps an utopia, and perhaps nothing at all. The Wisdom Singularity Flow Model seeks to advance a sense of unity among the many strands of wisdom scattered around the world.

Adapting the model and providing a large amount of examples, this paper presents an overall profile of the overwhelming amount of elementary unifying factors in diverging systems of thought. It is free to use and re-work for any and all purposes that seek to unify scattered fields of insight. If you copy information from this paper, please remember to include a back-link, as its contents may be periodically revised to bring it closer towards the intended ultimate model of reconciliation.

≡ Barrel of Interwoven Infinity ≡
Whether we like it or not, we're stuck in a barrel with similar patterns recurring all over again, day in and day out, in diverse contexts. Unraveling these basic patterns is the key to human fulfillment and holistic evolution. The center of the wheel remains still.

Base of Existence: Interwoven Patterns and Cycles

The whole of the domain of natural science seeks the underlying patterns in nature's endless formations, charting the common patterns in planetary bodies, cells, molecules, atoms, and elementary particles. The concept of a Theory of Everything is a Holy Grail in the horizons of many a dedicated seeker and student of fundamental truths; grasping this underlying fabric of patterns would be nothing short of having a universal blueprint to consult. Since we are all looking at an essentially identical world, we will ultimately reach conclusions that are essentially similar. Triangulating the signals, we can begin to distill and deduct the central structure from a global network of colored reflections.

[4x] The entire world of physics is under the reign of the four fundamental interactions. Our planet has its bipolar axis and its four cardinal directions, our yearly cycle sticks obstinately to its ever-flowing seasons of change, and our lives begin and end in cycles of birth, growth, maturity and decay. The whole of our existence is orchestrated in the concert hall of elementary cycles and polarities. Every relationship in existence follows an underlying thread of logos. If there were no Gluons to help the Strange Quarks and the Charm Quarks dance along in tune, and if Quark and Anti-Quark lost touch with each other, Heaven and Earth would fall apart in an instant.

[2x] To speak nothing of the endless life-cycles in nature, we are hard-pressed to escape the two basic polarities of dynamic and static, light and darkness, life and death, right and wrong, Chaos and Logos, above and below — culminating as our fundamental experience of pleasure and pain. We adore the tale of the lover and the beloved, we find solace in the balance of motion and stillness, we learn from our fathers and our mothers, and we find a promise of continuity in the father and the son. Whatever the context, we always find ourselves faced with the same basic polarities, seeking for the wisdom of the fundamental patterns to better understand and relate to the specifics of our situation.

≡ Serapis, Sadashiva, Stupa and Octagon ≡
In ancient days, the world was vast enough to avoid the inevitable convergence of perspectives. When traveling, people would commonly pay homage to the gods of the locale, seeing them as functional equivalents. In today's global and networked society, it's getting awfully crowded.

Shared Human Quest: Shared and Unified Principles

Throughout human history, we have sought to chart and better understand these underlying patterns, the basic universals that would give us better bearings in navigating the stormy seas of life. This same quest has enveloped a vast number of fields of thought, from science to creative arts, from religion to psychology, from societal organization to astrology, seeking to distill a series of universal archetypes as the cardinal and ordinal directions of our reality.

While it has been a quest for essentially one objective, and while dozens of fields of thought have evolved with essentially similar observations and models for relating to the basic elements of their existence, they have been so shrouded by cultural particularity and individualistic pursuits as to become almost entirely incompatible with each other. More often than not, and particularly in the worlds of religion and spirituality, the conflicting divergence is a sign of losing sight of the underlying fundamentals that connect everything together — into the greatness of totality they conceive of as God, Universal Spirit or One Mind.

These manifold systems of thought describe diverse facets of one totality of existence, and therefore always and invariably overlap in essential principles. The same essentials are clad in colorful clothes and known by countless names, applied in radically diverging fields of endeavor with equally diverging agendas. When stripped naked, we are left with one being with a body and a mind, two eyes, two brain hemispheres, four limbs, and eight cardinal and ordinal directions to take. Invariably, if only we choose broaden our perspective to see the forest from the trees, we will come to find that we are fundamentally in a great deal of agreement over the essentials.

For as long as we remain subject to the inevitable pull of Gravitation, the unswerving grind of the Weak Force, the energizing and mesmerizing flow of Electromagnetism, and the fundamental overdrive of the Strong Color Force, we rotate in the same and shared wheel of reality. Inasmuch as we cannot escape the atoms and the cells combining to form our bodies, we cannot escape the fundamental unity that connects our interwoven endeavors as sentient beings. The only fundamental separating us from a field of unity is the obsessive ego, our craving for distinction by means of separation from an underlying unity.

As we now live in an integrally interconnected and networked global world, with instant access to information across all cultures, a lack of understanding of the universality shared in our human pursuits has brought us to a world of escalating conflicts between apparently irreconcilable positions. With a shared platform of understanding being nothing short of an axiom of survival into the future, it stands to reason that we pay more attention to the basic principles underlying our shared reality in our search for solutions to the ever-increasing flux of information, exchange and conflicts emerging in the global human society.

Wisdom Singularity Flow Model: An Introduction

The system of the Wisdom Singularity Flow Model, featured earlier as the Wisdom Wheel arrangement, is principally based on the ancient Chinese model of Ba Gua, developed by Taoist and Confucian sages and scholars in the days of antiquity. The Ba Gua model has served as a useful base reference in charting the worlds of archetypal thinking, for it operates with basic and essentially mechanistic polarities and principles, without the heavy overlays of symbolism and cultural specifics that often shroud the wisdom from the millennia past. It is designed as a neutral and universal open-source model for study and reconciliation of diverse systems of thought.

In developing the Wisdom Singularity Flow Model, the basic structure has been compared and contrasted with more than two dozen noteworthy models of thought that feature essentially identical patterns, hierarchies, dynamics and derivative relations. These "compatible" traditions include Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hermeticism, Hinduism (Tantric, Puranic, Vedic), Buddhism (Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana), Astrology (Western, Indic, Chinese), and a good number of connecting threads from diverse fields of Psychology, Biology, Computer science, and Particle/Quantum physics. They are all readily compatible with each other — at times down to remarkable principal detail — when laid out against a neutral frame of reference and observed without a specific agenda.

The intention of the Wisdom Singularity Flow Model is to provide a basis of understanding and reconciliation between conflicting fields of thought, whether in the realms of science, society, spirituality, entertainment, psychology, or any one of the countless other systems founded on basic principii we devise in improving our human situation. They need not live in a state of competition and conflict; if we are willing to forsake our obsessive attachment to minute particularity, the rewards of a harmoniously cross-referenced world of insight far outweigh the possible economical and egoistic losses suffered in the process.

≡ Wisdom Field Correlation Wheel ≡
The world is saturated with basic polarities and patterns. If we choose to see them
and reflect on their unity and compatibility, we can reach a state of balance and equilibrium.
Heaven + Earth = Basic Patterns | Lake + Mountain = Models and Methods of Estimation
Fire + Water = Detailed Material Methods | Thunder + Wind = Detailed Cognitive Methods

Basic Symmetries: Zero-One and Two-in-One

Religious and spiritual systems aim almost invariably for creating a fundamental state of balance that transcends the particularities of culture. They seek to advance the balance between Spirit and Matter, between God and Humanity, between Heaven and Earth, between Giving and Taking, and between whatever other labels these two fundamental polarities receive across diverse contexts and peoples.

[1x2] The interaction and exchange between the [+] Dynamis and the [–] Neutralis, the Creating and the Neutralizing, is at the heart of an ultimate spiritual communion and holistic experience of reality. As such, it is the active Axis Mundi of all religious and spiritual efforts. When existence is brought to a state of reconciled balance, the battle between Good and Evil is over. All foundational concepts of moral, ethical and theological good and evil have their roots in this fundamental dichotomy, a conflict between two opposite but complementary polarities in an endless flux of interaction and permutation.

[∞0] This universal balance of the two polarities is fueled by a Great Unknown, a Cosmic Singularity, a Wisdom Non-Duality, an undivided and immeasurable field of unity. This is the ultimate Singularity, the dimension where all other dimensions and phenomena cease to exist; it is the the exact and absolute zero point state of existence, where all of existence is unified into a non-dual strata of no knower, no known, and no knowledge. As such, it is the ultimate knowledge and the pinnacle of mystic union with the Uncreated God, the Universal Spirit, the Great Singularity, and the rest of its manifold labels.

All of mankind's contemplative and creative efforts, when they culminate, are geared towards discovering these ultimate components in their many combinations, and most of all, in their primal and elemental form as pure and timeless principii, a great unifying field that would yield infinite knowledge, infinite energy, infinite dimensionality, and an infinity of experience.

When these ultimate dimensions of reality are attained, the human mind is reposed in a field of perennial peace and tranquility. In practice, the unifying factors will begin to envelope the diversifying factors, establishing a natural sense of unity, shared prosperity and a natural balance of ethics. Therefore, it is entirely unreasonable to be so short-sighted as to hate others, to plunder or to wage wars in the name of religious purity and missionarism. In fact, religious wars are primarily waged over particularities that would be considered impurities in light of the pure heart of the religion's wisdom.

Conflicts between non-theistic, monotheistic and polytheistic vantage points emerge as aspects of a uniform totality become personified or abstracted for ease of access to particular audiences. They are all, of course, components of the same grand entirety of being, the Alpha and Omega of all existence, like a spectre looked at from an infinity of perspectives. While we may many paint many faces for the subsequent aspects of the one Immeasurable Ultimate, we are all after one ultimate field of unification and resolution for all of our shared reality.

[∞] Singularity = { [±] Balance = { [+] Dynamis, [-] Neutralis } }
As they mature and culminate, most systems of thought appear to reach a concept of
infinite ultimacy and golden balance while working with the two basic polarities.

Table #1: Basic Correlations in Systemic Models

The following is a table of 108 correlations between the ∞0 (Infinite Zero) and 1x2 (Universal Balance) principles, as found in diverse religions, mythologies and spiritual systems throughout the world and its millennia of recorded history. They are essentially identical in their function as the Great Unknown and Balance of Two Polarities that guide the heart of these formulations. This is a master list of fields that will be studied and cross-referenced in further detail in upcoming appendixes.

While there will invariably be diverging nuances in the interpretation of the exact relationships between the four basic elements of Singularity, Balance, Dynamis and Neutralis, their fundamental principles are identical enough to justify a level field of agreement. There are, after all, countless differences in the interpretation over levels of apotheosis and scopes of relationship and identity even within traditions themselves. Such disputes and disagreements tend to fall within the domain of theological pedantry and elitistic sophistry, and have little to do with the heart of the matter; the basic patterns tend to be relatively simple and elementary.

Sometimes the principal roles in formulations such as these are seen to mirror each others' qualities, because Dynamis always holds a seed of Neutralis and vice versa. They are both rooted in the same Primal Unity, and reveal different emphases in accordance with the observer's perspective and projections. This easily turns Good into Evil, Gods into Demons, Messiahs into Antichrists, filtering through the narrow human lense unable or unwilling to contextualize against a broader perspective. Despite this, the direct and elementary reality underlying names and forms — once experienced and immersed — is eerily identical in nature. The experience itself naturally points to a fundamental underlying unity in all archetypes and purposes.

In advancing this quest for unity, symmetry and synergy in reconciling human perspectives, the above opening four-part grid should provide a useful starting point of general correlations in making headway towards a better reconciled world. This model is presented in the spirit of open-source conceptual development and evolution. The intention is not to introduce artificial universals or forced correlation; the model aims to serve in accurately reflecting the fundamental principles of diverse traditions of thought. Therefore, it should be subject to critique and revisions wherever necessary.

"Venus Dancing in Light and Shadows" — A fresh winter morning perspective
in a composite picture of the Morning Star, Planet of Reconciled Polarities.

Poetic Conclusions: Call for Balance and Feedback

The groundwork for this paper began with inspiration on the 10th of October, 2010, gazing at the skies through the crisp night air in late autumn of Helsinki. It was a beautiful clear sky, and Venus was particularly bright that night — almost frozen in her twinkle at the sky with her two horns raised, her two arms spread, and skirt of rays flowing below. Like the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks knew Venus as both Phosphoros, Morning Star and Bringer of Light, as well as Hesperos, Evening Star and Son of Dusk. The Hellenistic world realized their unity and named the planet after Aphrodite, their goddess of love. It's hard to argue against a Bipolar Planet of Love on the need for balance on 10-10-10 at 10 PM on a tranquil night.

Then, Venus is Love and Balance with Dynamis and Neutralis married; Hesperus is Phosphorus, Form is Emptiness, One Father is One Son, One Allah with One Will, while Yin and Yang dance on the plateau of Singularity. It does not have to be awfully complicated, if only we are willing to take a step beyond our complicated and entangled perspective, reaching for the fundamentals of our existence — whether the Four Directions, Four Interactions or Four Archangels, whether for the Father and Son, for the God and Goddess, or for other primal symbols of our preference. We are all after the same universal aims; let us make the most out of our collective human potential, seeking to unify more than diversify. Unification leads to Singularity, and Diversification leads to Entropy.

Readers interested in the concepts and models of this paper are cordially invited to provide liberal feedback — critique, compliments, contributions and clarifications are all equally welcome. More detailed explanations of the variables and relations in Table #1 will be available in an interactive model at the Systemic Spirituality website. Upcoming overviews of Wisdom Singularity Flow Model will discuss the 4x and 8x spheres, the four cardinal levels and the eight principal spokes of the Wisdom Wheel, exploring many (but certainly not all) of the systems of thought referenced in this paper.

Until the next installment in the phenomenal derivation of the Wisdom Singularity Flow Model, readers interested in more angles into this model are welcome to follow the Systemic Spirituality page at Facebook or join our LinkedIn discussion group for more in-depth exchanges on many of these themes, along with a general platform for discussing anything Beyond, Between, Above or Below and that may be relevant. More on "BBAB", linear molecules and the rest in the course of next week.
