I will dance with stuff I don't know or know just very little about, but I'll play with the narrative anyways and maybe get everything wrong but fuck it I'll use whatever I want for my Lego set of cosmology.
It doesn't mean I believe what I share, doesn't mean I don't. Just searching and playing, like a religious shitpost of sorts.
Gonna add a bunch of personal lunacy as well, first because it's unavoidable and second because it's fun as fuck.
Disclaimer: I'm looking for "truth" whatever that means, whatever I post is something I believe could be a piece of the puzzle, a part of the map of the Labyrinth.
Or it could be pure nonsense, who am I to tell, even tho there is an objective reality my limited human mind allows me to only have subjective perspectives.
I will use "(redacted)" whenever I don't feel like using any word or I can't find one that satisfies me at that moment.
“If your world disintegrates [through a lack of narrative], you stop seeing anything in context, and it becomes puzzling, even frightening. Its sheer facticity then stands out, since it can no longer take its place in any world schema of other things and people that would give it meaning.”
-Iain McGilchrist, The Matter with Things
I'm looking for a narrative that's good enough to stimulate my deepest (redacted) to the point of religious ecstasy.
I haven't found any so I'll just chew from a bunch of them. Here we go.
"The Jewish mystical doctrine known as "Kabbalah" (="Tradition") is distinguished by its theory of ten creative forces that intervene between the infinite, unknowable God ("Ein Sof") and our created world.
Through these powers God created and rules the universe, and it is by influencing them that humans cause God to send to Earth forces of compassion or severe judgment.
The right side represents the principles of unity, harmony and benevolence, as embodied in the Sefirah of Hesed. It is associated with the bestowing of generous goodness upon our world. It is the masculine side.
The Left side of the Sefirot structure is the side of power and strict justice, the values embodied in the Sefirah of Din. It is the female side, representing the fearsome awe of God, and the principles of separation and distinction. The unrestrained dominion of the Left side gives rise to Evil.
The Middle column of the Sefirot structure represents the ideal balance of divine mercy and justice. This harmony is best represented in the Sefirah of Tiferet, which exists midway between the extremes of Din and Hesed, female and male. Following traditional Rabbinic perception, the Kabbalah recognizes that the universe could not survive if it were founded only upon justice or only upon mercy.
- Keter, the Divine Crown
- Hokhmah, Wisdom
- Binah, Understanding
- Hesed, Mercy
- Din, Justice
- Tif'eret, Beauty
- Nezah, Eternity
- Hod, Glory
- Yesod, Foundation
- Shekhinah, God's Presence in the World"

It's curious they find the left or right side to be male or female, I have my own biases but they change so much male or female could be one thing or it's opposite depending on what memory or narrative I have at that moment.
"Dichotomies
During the process of individuation and of becoming whole, people need to integrate the various dichotomies of life. They need to allow the pulling together of two seemingly opposing forces or values and express the two simultaneously. A child may only consciously be aware of the mother’s constant love; however, the child is only aware of the mother’s hate as she scolds him for playing in the street. Just as a mother may be representative of love and hate, much of life may be seen as the welding of contradictions.
For example, does an electron have characteristics of being a particle (a small isolated ball) or is it more like a wave (the waves on top of a pond when a rock is thrown in the water)? Presently the answer appears to be both. An electron acts as a particle and as a wave. Intuitively, it makes no sense. But on a quantum level, it happens. Perhaps many parts of our world need to be viewed not as polar opposites, but as the tension between complementary pairs.- Frederick Walborn, in Religion in Personality Theory, 2014"

"PENDULUM
Dashing to and fro 'tween the pillars of the temple
In the centre there is a way to get off this 'time' a ways.
Do you see the King of Edom
who reigh unbalanced force
in the dawn of the birth of Israel?
They're the pendulums of peace and pain.
Faith itself must be slain by certainty
and chastity by ecstasy.
Wake from the sleep of Shilome
and be for the birth that is real.
Still the pendulums don't kneel to them.
Live the Probation's zeal.
There is Maya, the woman spinning
illusion with her dancing.
Weeping in her irony for all poor drowning souls.
She'll lay you low and make amends.
She burns your candle at both ends.
No period for her sentients,
only penitence...
...and dashing to and fro
'tween the pillars of the temple.
In the center there is a way
to get off."
That website has interesting stuff on it, like this poem, but there's something I don't like about it.
I'm not underestimating the suffering and horror that can come with the physical/material realm, but of course not only does it has its pleasant polarity, but it also has a reason to be.
That's the narrative I want to find, a path to the "center" of the paradox,
How to deny the material world if it is so much a part of me? Of my experiences, the experiences that have made me what I am.
"As above so below", I don't think this realm is profane or evil, but the backbone or the "feet" of (redacted).
Already posted about cosmological natural selection, (redacted).
I remembered the Kabbalah because I read somewhere some time ago that the Yesod sphere is ruled by the moon, and in my experience, the way to start opening (redacted) is going a bit crazy looking for patterns and signs in the world.
Paying attention to synchronicity in events.
And doing things like what I am doing right now that allow me to put attention to certain things, and "tune" myself to "catch certain frequencies" as hippie as that sounds.
And to have a MEMORY of it.
From the same website:
"Receptivity is the keyword for Yesod"
There's a lot of interesting stuff on the internet about that sphere alone, but I'll take some TIME to get distanced, I'm starting to get thirsty for perspective.
Need time to unweave this chaos inside me but I will just write them a bit fresh a bit hot without differentiation cuz already want to hit "Post Reply":
The narrative or myth you have of your world and of yourself is key to (redacted).
from internet about the ego: Ego is the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity.
from internet:
c) Tiphareth = Creativity = syntaxic mode (where meaning is more or less fully cognized symbolically, with ego present); cognitive, symbols. Solar consciousness of Causal Plane. Creativity is the result of the harmonizing of lunar and solar elements.
Individuation further includes the integration of the conscious mind, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious.
The cornerstone of Jungian, or analytic, psychology is individuation. The process of individuation, likened to his description of the creative process, is the road of integration between parts of the self that are conflicted – again, the notion of opposites. Bringing into harmony the parts of the psyche, both conscious and unconscious, that are at odds is the goal.
-K. Jones, in Encyclopedia of Creativity (Second Edition), 2011
If I post a link to a website it's more to give credit and show the source, but if I can't or whatever ill just use "" or something similar.
Also had the idea to post chats with ChatGPT but the last times I tried to enter it bounced me saying it was at max capacity or something like that and it's also frustrating at times for how censored it is, but fuck if it was uncensored access to info, if chatgpt wasnt a bitch it would be of so much help.
see ya later chaps, eat shit n go fuck yourselves. Random insults for psychological release never mind them.
