Balancing The Higher And Lower Selves

1. Understanding everyday life is a matter of understanding whose story we’re telling.

2. There are two fundamental narratives to what this life is about.

3. The first life narrative is that we are rising beasts who have evolved up out of the Earth.

4. The second life narrative is that we are fallen angels who have descended down out of the heavens.

5. The truth is that we are both rising beasts and fallen angels simultaneously. Both of these narratives are true, but sometimes one more than the other, depending on whose story we’re telling at the time.

6. To put too much value on the rising beast narrative is to occlude the divinity of humanity, leading to egotheism.

7. Egotheism bores the gods because it reminds them of the behaviour of children.

8. To put too much value on the fallen angel narrative is to occlude the lived reality inside the Great Fractal, leading to withdrawal.

9. Withdrawal bores the gods because it reminds them of the behaviour of suicides.

10. The imperative to entertain the gods demands that we balance the higher and lower selves, which both contribute to our experience of reality.

11. The higher and lower selves are balanced on the Great Masculine Axis.

12. The will to indulge the lower self is the same as the Undergoing Will.

13. The will to indulge the higher self is the same as the Overcoming Will.

14. Depending on which part of the Great Fractal one is in, the local environment will be conducive either to indulging the lower self or indulging the higher self.

15. If the local environment is conducive to indulging the lower self, but a person acts from the higher self, they will soon find themselves in an environment conducive to indulging the higher self, as per the Law of Attraction.

16. If the local environment is conducive to indulging the higher self, but a person acts from the lower self, they will soon find themselves in an environment conducive to indulging the lower self, as per the Law of Attraction.

17. Operating too much from the lower self causes the lived experience to become animal-like. The gods are bored by the predictability.

18. The animal experiences significance but he must suffer for it.

19. Operating too much from the higher self causes the lived experience to become ghost-like. The gods are bored by the unreality.

20. The ghost does not suffer but neither does he experience significance.

21. The gods created us to aspire to rise up the Great Masculine Axis, but to struggle to do so on account of our imperfect wills. They derive great amusement from the ensuing struggle.

22. The correct balance is struck by saying Yes to life as much as is possible while always keeping this Yeasaying subordinate to the First Tenet.

23. The Tenets are therefore a home base from which the Great Fractal can be explored in the service of entertaining the gods.

The Minor Aspiration

1. The Major Aspiration of every person is to entertain the gods.

2. The principal way to entertain the gods is through struggling in an attempt to achieve the meaning of one’s life.

3. The Minor Aspiration of every person is whatever they decide the meaning of their life is.

4. In principle, there are no restrictions to what a person might decide their Minor Aspiration is.

5. No matter how fervently they aspire to their Minor Aspiration, their struggles are always subordinate to the Major Aspiration. This is true whether or not they believe in Elementalism, and whether or not they have even heard of Elementalism.

6. Some decide that the meaning of their life is survival.

7. Those whose Minor Aspiration is survival operate on a similar level to prey animals. Their main concern is getting through to the next day.

8. Some decide that the meaning of their life is recreational.

9. Those whose Minor Aspiration is recreational operate on a similar level to children. Their main concern is lulz.

10. Some decide that the meaning of their life is physical.

11. Those whose Minor Aspiration is physical operate on a similar level to predatory animals. Their main concern is control.

12. Some decide that the meaning of their life is sexual.

13. Those whose Minor Aspiration is sexual operate on a similar level to bonobos. Their main concern is the next oxytocin hit.

14. Some decide that the meaning of their life is social.

15. Those whose Minor Aspiration is social operate on a similar level to wealthy people. Their main concern is the next dopamine hit.

16. Some decide that the meaning of their life is intellectual.

17. Those whose Minor Aspiration is intellectual operate on a similar level to the Seven Initiates. Their main concern is dispelling ignorance.

18. Some decide that the meaning of their life is spiritual.

19. Those whose Minor Aspiration is spiritual can operate on the same level as any other being, depending on the orientation of that spirituality and the degree to which a person successfully attains it.

20. It is important that a person knows what their Minor Aspiration is and where it might lie on the Great Masculine Axis.

21. Whatever a person decides the meaning of their life is, that meaning is subordinate to the Major Aspiration.

Energies, Frequencies and Vibrations

1. The centre of the Quadrijitu is the place of zero energy. Although it is perfectly peaceful there, it is also perfectly boring. Therefore, God desired to experience energy.

2. The energy of an experience is the degree to which that experience is removed from the centre of the Quadrijitu.

3. The extent to which energy moves up and down along the Great Masculine Axis is called frequency.

4. The extent to which energy moves left and right along the Great Feminine Axis is called vibration.

5. The experience of any given time and place in the Great Fractal will appear somewhere on the Quadrijitu as a combination of energy, frequency and vibration.

6. Following the First Tenet, the Summer Pole is equivalent to a radial angle of zero degrees.

7. The Autumn Pole is then the equivalent to a radial angle of 90 degrees.

8. The Winter Pole is then the equivalent to a radial angle of 180 degrees.

9. The Spring Pole is then the equivalent to a radial angle of 270 degrees.

10. The energy of the experience of any given time, place or perception in the Great Fractal can be expressed as a number between 0 and 1 inclusive.

11. The closer the number is to 0, the more the energy is like bliss. The closer the number is to 1, the more the energy is like awe. Herein it needs to be understood that suffering is awesome, in its own way.

12. Bliss is the minimum amount of negative energy, at the cost of the minimum amount of positive energy.

13. Awe is the maximum amount of positive energy, at the cost of the maximum amount of negative energy.

14. A location of (0.1, 0) is like the First Emanation of the Divine, something very close to the natural state of consciousness.

15. A location of (0.1, 90) is like the novelty of first perceiving the division between yang and yin.

16. A location of (0.1, 180) is like a gentle lull of boredom.

17. A location of (0.1, 270) is like the Sun shining again after a cloud briefly passed in front of it.

18. A location of (0.5, 0) is like the first feeling of joy.

19. A location of (0.5, 90) is like the first feeling of despair.

20. A location of (0.5, 180) is like the first feeling of rage.

21. A location of (0.5, 270) is like the first feeling of hope.

22. A location of (0.9, 0) is like the awe of seeing a million spiritual seekers realising the Four Tenets.

23. A location of (0.9, 90) is like the awe of seeing a million revellers drink themselves to oblivion.

24. A location of (0.9, 180) is like the awe of seeing a million skulls shattered by flying axes.

25. A location of (0.9, 270) is like the awe of seeing a million flowers bloom for the first time.

26. Thus, any given time, place or perception within the Great Fractal can be described by the equation (x, y), where x determines the energy of the experience and y determines the frequency and vibration of that experience.

The Elementalist Conception of The Inherent Horror of Life

1. Many ask how a God who created this world full of horrors could be anything other than evil.

2. It seems that we are born just to suffer, grow old, get sick and die. One comes to consciousness just to observe one’s body disintegrate in agony.

3. Such thoughts lead to colossal suffering for an enormous number of people.

4. The Elementalist does not suffer from such thoughts. Understanding the Tenets, the Elementalist is free from spiritual suffering.

5. The First, Second and Third Tenets remind us that consciousness is the prima materia, and the material world – in which all suffering occurs – just an illusion.

6. The Fourth Tenet reminds us that the natural state of consciousness is one of perfect bliss – and thus, perfect boredom.

7. As such, all suffering has been dreamed up by the divine for the sole purpose of entertaining itself.

8. The Elementalist understands that the Great Fractal is akin to an unsleeping slaughterhouse, in which living creatures, in competition for scarce resources, battle each other to the death before they starve.

9. That life on Earth is a neverending slaughterfest is not, by itself, cause to succumb to horror.

10. The Elementalist says “Let it be worse! Let me be torn to pieces by wolves! If my suffering should entertain the gods, it is my will!”

11. Suffering is inherent to life so that one can entertain the gods by overcoming it.

12. The greater the intensity of the suffering, the greater the opportunity to entertain the gods.

13. The gods are most entertained by that which overcomes the most extreme suffering.

14. Although the greatest good is to entertain the gods, there are several other positives to the inherent horror of life.

15. The foremost of these: the great suffering caused by the horror of this world affords us great potential to alter our frequencies of consciousness.

16. That immense suffering is inherent to life gives us unlimited opportunity to say No to suffering.

17. Every instance of suffering is an opportunity to increase the frequency of one’s consciousness.

18. This world may be one of the Hell Realms, as suggested by the fact that we are bound to die. This makes all of us a kind of spiritual pentitent.

19. The intensity of the suffering in this Hell Realm affords a greater opportunity to alter the frequencies of our consciousness than if we had incarnated into a more pleasant part of the Great Fractal.

20. Like elemental fire, the inherent horror of this world offers great potential to control one’s destiny.
