PRELIMINARY

Introduction and purpose

The purpose of the document is to layout a path of realization. In maintaining the document-path the following are important:

The main personal sources are template for knowledge and ways.

Sources

The main sources are:

Main issue

What is most fundamental?—Clear my head, begin

Design

To consider

General

Immersion in being: the world—nature, psyche, and civilization—act and share.

Meditate on death—what does its reality imply for action at this point in my life? What is death—real but not absolute—and what does this imply? How to die!

Streamlining

Sequence and parallel the following; use table / matrix

Be-ing: the ultimate in the present and Becoming: [UNIV /// FIELD]: being on the way to the ultimate

UNIVERSAL—all places and timesespecially –home

PARALLEL

This

Rapidly changing variables = formfields.

Art

Art and ‘other’ ways of being and seeing.

Languages

Spanish, Lakota

Impediments / needs:

Impediment: OCD planning. Need: stop it; eliminate unnecessary planning, related activities, and their duplication.

Impediment: insufficient awareness of my death and its significance for priorities and action deadlines. Need: meditate and review. What is fundamental now?

Impediment: reactivity. Need: work on personality and attitude.

Impediment: addictions—substance-video. Need: stabilize, rearrange time and room.

Impediment: mental slavery to circumstance. Need: recognize that I do not owe follow ups to presumed commitments—e.g. prior intents, social convention related to class and gender, my properties and purchases, invitations and phone calls.

Impediment: living situation. Need: living that is non-conducive to real spitituality, attitude and realization: location, room arrangement, eating pattern, and housemates.

Impediment: uncertainty in health. Need: tests and assessments—then go!

ACTIVITIES

Path | Truth (º share-pblsh)      

Everyday

1. Motive dedicate-spirit-nature-risk
In the greatest existential challenge, a great overcoming is dual recognition of the challenge and continuing to create and be productive

2. Expt x-thera-yoga-in action-personality | record: a purpose to meditation is ‘spaciousness’ in which to see—if there is one—the continuity of my consciousness with—that of—the world-universe; another purpose is connection between my thought and personality: how to retain the former and expand the latter—e.g., NO MIND in community

3. Routine: two meals | community | review ¯ early

     

FIELD [PREP ® PHASE]

Outline.

The following are interactive and remain in process:

Select and define the goal (or goals) and deadlines.

Knowledge and other prerequisites. Knowledge—general (metaphysics), particular (path); and sharing—a teacher and community.

Path—review, define, synthesize, and select: mechanics; ways and catalysts; practice and discipline; process: elements and phases.

Path design.

Path—review, define, synthesize, and select: mechanics; ways and catalysts; practice and discipline; process: elements and phases.

Useful observations on being and process

What are the critical points in the process? What are some options—place-community-spirituality-realization, sources and teachers (search web and others), process versus pure being (‘after’) and be-ing versus mere enjoying (the ride for the remainder of my life).

Being is central—as neutral, it is container for all understanding and for the in process identity of the immediate and the ultimate. That is, within one ‘perspective’ we—even the eternal—are always at the beginning and, simultaneously, we are the ultimate.

The process flows from and into practice—awareness and meditation in action and its counterpart of ‘no mind’, of the mechanics-ways-and-catalysts. Meditation and reflection on death—the nature of death and (my) transitory-and-so-eternal-character—are critical. Process includes immersion-action-sharing in being: the world—nature, psyche, and civilization (these help define phases of becoming).

These are some sources of being in the immediate-ultimate as one.

Goal.

The goal is to be in process in the immediate and ultimate as one.

Prereqs.—knowledge, ways, and other

Develop, know and understand of metaphysics with theory of human being (mind-heart-body and civilization). Selection of ways—especially, mechanics, disciplines, catalysts, elements, and phases.

Find teachers and community.

The WAYS are grounded in a MECHANICS OF TRANSFORMATION and being which employ the RISK of EXPERIMENT, REFLECTION on outcomes, and re-experiment in the INCREMENTAL and SINGULAR process of realization (at root the process is not a priori and therefore A-RATIONAL—neither rational nor irrational—which is empowering because there is no dependence on some more fundamental principle). The ways included ESTABLISHED WAYS which in turn include DISCIPLINES and CATALYSTS. Simultaneous to—as part of—process, the mechanics initiates, establishes and enhances the disciplines, ways, and catalysts: the mechanics is a DISCIPLINE OF DISCIPLINES.

The ELEMENTS of transformation include: VEHICLES (individual and civilization), MEANS (ideas and action), MODES (intrinsic and external to identity—e.g., the focus of YOGA and the focus of science), DISCIPLINES (accumulated-formal and oral-mythic—and their mechanics; also classed as conceptual and active which includes technology and ritual), and PLACES (intrinsic: psyche, and external: nature and civilization—i.e., society). These suggest PHASES: IDEAS, transformation—INDIVIDUAL-CIVILIZATION, and ARTIFACT-TECHNOLOGY.

Field activity

Fieldwork. : Sacred places, research institutions. Define aims (1) Nature—aim, location, access, maps, and other resources. See hiking list. (2) Culture—research spiritual communities (network: word of mouth); communicate—network spiritual travelers. (3) Artifactual process—personal study, investigation, and building artifacts; seek university and other contacts, communicate with collaboration as goal.

Write.: Field notes, modules, and narrative(s). Write / mail in notes. Sharing—networking. Electronic—personal, remote, and cloud data entry and processing—and social media.
