Against the stream

For many people, sacred geometry has become the buzzword to sell their ideas. Yet we can only sell profane things, sacredness resonates with our hearts, not our wallets. Sacred knowledge can only be experienced individually,  teaching acts only as a guide to venture within the depths of one's own heart.

Geometry offers an excellent tool to comprehend the metaphysical aspects of our physical surroundings. Many processes in the scenario universe follow simple rules, which in interaction with specific, unique circumstances create abundant complexity.

The tetrahedron acts as smallest possible 3 dimensional system - four focus points arranged in the closest packing possible. The Platonic Solids describe the idealised regular structures which compose the complex details of our perceptual reality.

Humanity's creations favour the square, or variations of it, with a few triangles thrown in. Not too surprising, as the 3 dimensional accounting system uses a cube as base unit. In the minds of commonly educated people, the 3d world is cubical, not tetrahedral. It takes observation and experimentation to understand the fundamental difference between these approaches to our physical reality.

I'm not too sure how much we are wired to perceive and resonate with geometric structures and symbols, but I suspect they have a much deeper reach than words. The use of geometric symbols predates the use of written words in this phase of known human history, indicating a commonly accessible knowledge about the deeper fabric of our universe.

The five Platonic Solids play an essential role in sacred geometry, due to their unique qualities (all edges of the same length, all faces the same shape). Traditional Western esoteric systems use only four elements (air, water, earth and fire) as universal elements, with ether clumsily tagged on as fifth element.

The Five Element Theory, part of Chinese philosophy and medicine, doesn't need to add anything to incorporate the five regular building blocks of reality Plato described. While it seems similar esoteric as the Western hermeneutic approach, it has some metaphorical power due to added (geometric) layers.

The tetrahedron represent Fire, the element of creation and inspiration. The ashes turn into Earth, the cube. You need two intersecting tetrahedra (a merkaba configuration) to build a stable cube, consisting only of squares it tends to distort and collapse.

Earth, element of stability, compresses everything beneath, and so creates Metal. Cube and Octahedron have the same number of edges, the compression transformed the cube into its dual. Metal condensates, and Water emerges. The icosahedron is the largest structure consisting only of equilateral triangles, introducing fluidity.

Water nourishes the Wood, transforms the icosahedron into the dodecahedron. Plato's 'secret' solid, showing twelve pentagons symmetrically and spherically arranged. That's the element responsible for good flow of Qi, unsurprisingly unfamiliar in Western systems.

Wood feeds the Fire, the dodecahedron collapses back into a tetrahedron, and the cycle begins anew. The beauty about the Five Elements theory comes from this conclusive idea of creative transformation in this cycle, combined with a tetragram in its centre describing the inhibiting influence among the elements.

Fox in socks on the rocks

You told me about your desire to heal,

but that's not really what I can feel.

You provided me often with food,

and also your fast-changing mood.

Now I stand here with an empty hand,

still don't know what I had to understand

of the obstacles created in the distant past,

which stopped the chance of our story to last.

So my heart fills again with sadness,

walking alone through a world of madness,

waiting for love's resurrection,

another heart-felt connection.

I stay connected to you, my beloved fox,

hope you're happy after putting me in a box.

The state of confusion

Prelude

Humanity as a whole can only come so far,

If we repeat the cruel mistake of eternal war.

Right now, it seems like each and every nation

has been infected by a faulty idea of civilisation.

The crown of luxury (1/10)

Mother Earth offers us abundance,

A plenty that gives us the chance

to peacefully share its fruits,

while cherishing its divine roots.

Yet humanity, unaware of its role,

invented the game of control,

divided itself into the few and the many,

those who have all and those who don't have any.

While there's more than enough for everyone,

most humans suffers under the barrel of a gun,

We can't maintain our splendid opulence

without arbitrary and unjust violence

claim the few that occupy the tower of power,

trickling down on the many a golden shower.

Wisdom (2/10)

For the many, life became desperate,

daily survival as permanent struggle,

too many obligations to juggle

to hold onto the trust in one's own fate.

For the few, life became a game,

technology fulfilled surreal dreams,

or at least, so it seems

allowed living without any shame.

Yet others, who came here to stay,

just patiently walked the way,

leaving trails in the unknown,

where they slowly have grown.

With no need for fame and bling,

they just became part of everything.

Understanding (3/10)

Back to nature is the deceptive call,

for which we now easily fall.

If we want to save the planet's sanity,

we have to restrict the numbers of humanity!

Instead of learning more ecology,

let's just praise the natural theology

which declares humanity as enemy

and wants the big culling as remedy.

We can't share like this with all,

Let's kill some people to prevent the fall

into a world without clean water and air,

so that few can live on like this, ain't that fair?

But if 'like this' doesn't work out,

isn't 'like that' worth to try out?

Loving Kindness (4/10)

Life knows only winner

Death transforms the matter

to serve life again o so better.

The human race is only a beginner

in understanding the cycle of life,

that's why society seems such a strife.

If we base our world on competition

we harm ourself and the planet,

and we drown in our own net.

If we want life's completion,

we have to take power from the fool

and play again by nature's rule.

Mother Earth thinks it's alright

if humanity commits collective suicide.

Might (5/10)

It seems like we live in an age of reason,

The prophets of science guiding politics,

advising logically, not playing dirty tricks,

yet ignoring their heart is their biggest treason.

Wholeness still remains neglected,

which keeps thinking disconnected.

Without some inspired intuition

science just creates a scary vision.

We studied long how to kill each other,

even developed some insane will

for a mutual and complete overkill.

Yet if we don't start caring to bother

to integrate heart and soul in our thinking,

we'll happily watch our own ship sinking.

Beauty (6/10)

Humanity seems so ludicrously immature,

in its endless quest for more,

degrading our planet to a whore,

wanting to master Mother nature.

People are treated like cattle,

and we kill those who dare to rattle

on the cages of our needless slavery,

instead of following such bravery.

Hypnotised like a rabbit by a snake

we continue our fearful shake

believing it's a sign of integrity

to submit to imposed authority.

But we only have to answer one call -

the one that comes from the heart and soul.

Victory (7/10)

Many deeds of utter insanity

have been done in the name of rationality.

We still celebrate misunderstood genetics,

and largely misappreciate mimetic.

Instead of engaging in constructive dialogue,

we easily fall prey to any demagogue

who creates the air of mystery

by their own special version of history.

Most words of persuasion are mere empty shell

to disguise the reality of a living hell.

Spin doctors provide the final tweak

to create perfect Orwelian double-speak.

With meaning so readily and easily twisted,

as endangered our whole species is enlisted.

Acknowledgement (8/10)

If we give the wisest one control,

with the power to shape it all,

then everything would be fine,

society rescued from its steady decline.

Yet this is nothing but a fantasy,

an idea so incredibly stale

it doesn't even suit as fairy tale

it's a criminal intellectual heresy.

Because while we hope for a wise leader,

we simply follow the next best cheater.

One thing is certain, at least of today,

politics is nothing but a theatre play.

The moral doesn't even go very deep:

Following leaders makes you a sheep.

Foundation (9/10)

This civilisation isn't worth preserving,

it is build on falsehoods and lies,

controlled by a bunch of all-seeing eyes,

hell instead of heaven humanity is deserving.

We are all born to be free,

not to live in disguised slavery.

The system of human livestock management

has had its time, and it has to end.

We don't need to spill the baby with the bath,

many things we build on this path

will come with us into the future,

if they can be used for our nurture.

But bureaucracy, banking and government

only contributed to humanities detriment.

Kingdom (10/10)

I don't want to suggest haste,

but there's little time to waste.

We don't want to suffocate in pollution,

for most problems we have a clean solution.

The internet created the capacity

to weave a true global community,

to share all that we know

to tap into the cosmic flow.

Nature organises itself,

Let's keep the isms on the shelf

of humanity's primitive history

to finally shape our own destiny.

We don't need yet another revolution,

just commitment to a conscious evolution.

Peaceful warriors

The battle has already started,

human rights have been thwarted,

many people are born into slavery,

others lulled in by epic hypocrisy.

It takes two parties for a fight,

both insisting they are right,

sticking in their favorite roles

pushing opposing magnetic poles.

Once we become aware,

we can start to care,

yet it needs strength to dare

noticing what's really there.

By gently tuning into the cosmic flow,

we can stop the fight and start to grow.

One purpose of chaos, paradox, nonsense, and absurdity is to set itself against the linear world. These are not meant to take the place of linear knowledge or functions, but to act as a point of focus calling our attention and awareness to the something(s) which the linear model has missed, thus breathing new life into the predictable.

Further, our non-linear models help us to see old facts in new and exciting ways. If there is a summum bonum it lies in reformulation and utility in the service of tolerating more of the unknown. The function of Monotheism is to control the anxiety created by the unknown. Monotheism is a form of glue which attempts to hold an expanding world together.

Mankind has a special tool,
a time-binding mind,
truely one of a kind.

Even the biggest fool,
no matter what season,
can claim to use reason.

But our minds do not create,
they just cleverly reiterate
their fear, guilt and shame
and desire for a bit of fame.

Your mind's constant strive
can take over your entire life -
while just a bit of silence
will end this inner violence.

The State - all it has, it has stolen!
It even bites with stolen teeth!

Constitutions are utterly worthless to restrain the tyranny of governments, unless it be understood that the people will by force compel the government to remain within constitutional limits. Practically speaking, no government knows any limit to its power except the endurance of the people.

A government which takes your money by force like a common thief will use this stolen money to further enslave you and to prevent any rebellion on your part.

Authentic spiritual teachings are teachings from direct experience devoid of prejudice, provincialism, or predilection. That is based on eternal living tradition motivated and animated by a living truth. Compare that to dead teachings, rote memorization, conformity, and mechanical obedience to external authoritative systems and one can easily understand human history and its discontents. The champions of institutionalized tradition only create prisons and traps, because their own egos and and prideful identities live in a mental prison. They become jealous and scornful of those who have escaped.

World Gaming recognises that there are no unnatural materials. If nature permits their chemical=elements associabilities, the materials and their functions are natural. If nature does not permit or bring about their associability, they cannot exist. The substances permitted by nature might be unfamiliar to humans, but they are never unnatural - i.e., "synthetic." World Gaming notes that humans' fear of the unfamiliar often prevents realization of humanity's imminent acquisition of improved living conditions for everyone.
