• A skirrer 💨 I attain calm insight by inverting reality via quests & shipping daily 🚢
• 🏗️piletexod.us (202X): proof-of-work sangha, individuated questing platform.

• Invert!: Invert negativity. Invert stasis. Invert despair. Invert the good, with the better. Invert heaven, and walk with peace, now. Invert the whole panjandrum.
• Assorted: Cultivate the courage to negotiate explicitly, and divest from unjustified expectations. Create a structure that you can surrender to. Absence of risk, is risky - you want responsible danger, predictable uncertainty. Apply clarifying restatements to indirect requests. Not sure - hold things loosely, as it’s uncertain.
• Tone: “I would like X” (positive, loose) > “I need X” (fearing an implied threat, strict).
• Sow: Sow your intentions, virtue, and process. Always iterate chiefly on your inputs, yet, digest the previous crop, for novel seeds and feedback. Return to your inputs.
• Power: Keep distance from power, and anyone with real power. They, are dangerous
• Values: Holding onto values, without collective support, is the true test of character.
• Full Spectrum Humanity: We experience both the positive, and the negative. Taking actions, that move things forward, and promote self-efficacy. The right way to die, is also the right way to live. In meditation. The individual should be as well put together internally, as, the master he is resisting’s contrived external impositions. Make the master your subject for mastery.
• Split Personalities: All divisions and antagonisms are the result of a splitting of the psyche, where you fight your own shadow, that you’ve projected onto another group of people. The state doesn’t want understanding, it wants man to be psychologically divided. Religion seeks to divide you from god, and serve the state. Society and those around you serve the state, and the flesh serves society, which serves the state. All roads lead to the state, all roads lead to your division. Your personality will be split, into an us, and a them. You will have the correct views, whose sole purpose are to destabilize you.
• The Vision: To pull you out of society, out of your existential daze, and to slap the shit out of you, back into reality.

• A beautiful cathedral, within the shantiest of towns: The beauty of creation shines through when we get out of the way of our own cognitive projections. When you arrive at a place where you’re able to contrast the objects of your perception, not with your understanding of causality and the laws of physics, but with the infinite void of nothingness, then all of creation becomes bright, and shining, and miraculous. If you think miracles are just about nonstandard empirical phenomena, then you’re anchored at the wrong point. The standard phenomena are just as miraculous as the non-standard phenomena. And it speaks to the pervasive and stultifying effects of convention, that so many of us seem to have forgotten that this is so.
