Find and eliminate the flaws in your principles. If you don't fix your pretermitted principles, you're never going to fix the smaller issues that arise from them. From a short-term perspective, fixing a broken principle may not seem as pressing because it's abstract and may therefore feel distant, diffuse and less "real". In the long run, suffering will keep on rising from it if it's not restored.

Whatever is in your imagination will overpower your will eventually. Therefore, eliminate harmful, discouraging images from your inner workings. Imagination is the starting point of the mechanism that manifests your reality. It's your most powerful tool. Do not accidentally use it against yourself. Use it to enable growth and development. Use it to heal and liberate yourself and others. Use it to find peace.

While re-purposing the mind to serve as a tool for success, growth and power, there is ONE THING that you need to be absolutely clear about. The liberation of all living beings as well as protection of their peace as a standard of living for all is hierarchically superior to (and a possible consequence of) individual enlightenment.
Transferred to a smaller scale, this can mean: The perseverance and well-being of a people, a society, a tribe is of greater significance than the desires of the singular member. Aims and development of one are only meaningful and impactful as long as they can be lined up with the trajectory and needs of the group.

Only then do individual wishes evolve into a tool to weave magic for the interdependent group organism, and only then can the group be a tool to weave magic for the individual.

To employ such a mindset of servitude, practice unconditional Love, directed at the people you meet and the phenomena that occur to you.

Not unconditional passion.
Not unconditional self-righteousness.
Not unconditional blind-sightedness.
Not unconditional ignorance.
Not unconditional working-your-self-to-death-or-insanity.

Love.
The balanced kind that encompasses all, yourself included.

Heiliger Ulrich von Augsburg, der mächtige Erbe.

Born.
890 AD in Augsburg
(Wittislingen in the Duchy of Swabia; Latin: Ducatus Allemaniæ, Holy Roman Empire)

Died.
4th of July, 973 AD

Name origin.
Latin: Uodalricus
Old High German: Uodalrîh, Uodalrich
ahd.: ôd(al) ("Erbgut"); rich ("mächtig, Herrscher")

>> patriarch, sovereign, Emperor of the Heritage, The Powerful Heir

Veneration.
He is patron saint of travellers and wayfarers, fishermen, weavers, vintners (winemakers) and of the dying. He is called upon for difficult births, to fight fever and weakness, rage and rabies, to fight plagues such as mice and rats, and to fend off dangers related to water, such as floods.

Life.
During the time when Ulrich was Bishop of Augsburg, the region suffered frequent attacks from Hungarian invaders that were moving through Southern Europe. Due to the constant threat that the Hungarian attacks and ravages posed, Ulrich initiated the building of a wall to defend the city, which played a significant part in the victory of King Otto in 955 (Schlacht auf dem Lechfeld). For his meritorious efforts, Ulrich was granted the privilege to mint coins, making him one of the German elites of the time.

Apart from being a missionary, he fulfilled his duties as a statesman with respectful conduct towards the ruling authorities and acted as their counsel and spiritual director/chaplain.
In general, he had remarkable impact on political dynamics and facilitated peace and truce among the people under his influence.

Traditions.
In German-speaking alpine regions the fourth of July is dedicated to blessings that protect against tempests of all kinds.
In both evangelic and catholic tradition, the day of St. Ulrich is celebrated to pray for the protection of the church and its people. It is a high occasion in the Bishopric of Augsburg to this day.

Legend.
Ulrich offered the leftovers of his Thursday evening meal, a piece of meat, to an emissary on Friday morning to take with him as provision. When the emissary tried to report Ulrich’s sacrilegious transgression of the Friday precept to his master by showing him the piece of meat, it had turned into fish.

They died 💀🪦
not because of electroculture but because I forgot to water them

RIP
I tried lol

A friend DMed me his story about a “cancer” that he was diagnosed with

He noticed a tumor on his leg, and a tumor on his hip - he was told he had to get a biopsy, and do chemotherapy to get rid of them

He was watching people come out of the hospital, weighing up his decision to go ahead or not

Something was telling him that this was wrong … people going in to the hospital perfectly healthy, like he was (other than the lump) and coming out sick, with no hair and looking terrible

So he walked out; no treatment.

The doctor attempted to make him stay, but he didn’t.

Instead, they got a little bigger, and then he fasted for 3/4 days and they went down 70-80%.

Nothing happened to him at all, and it’s been 8 years since then.

He since moved countries to a healthier tropical spot and met many people who had similar stories - a diagnosis which “required chemo” to which they ignored and stayed healthy and dealt with the “cancer”.

Including one particular German man who was told he had 3 months to live by the doctors; so his dream was to move to this country, which he did as he thought he was dying - and nothing happened to him.

I share this as an exact retelling of his experience to give another perspective of chronic disease and allopathic treatments.

It is interesting that he felt uncomfortable sharing this publicly or not anonymously - because of the pushback he might get from other people for simply going against the mainstream medicine’s recommendations.

This shows the unscientific, emotional state of discussion and censorship about this topic that does not allow the best information to come through.

Between the two stages of having once been and being lies the mutable, shifting presence of an ever new, ever now Self.

While moving from point A to point B, from extremes to moderation, from illness to health, from pain to ease of being, the transformation happens gradually as we keep on living in the present.

May all your moments be in-betweens.
May your presence be ever expanding.

An engineer's thermodynamic view at the metaphysics of beauty.

On the branches of the Tree of Knowledge, the Serpent rests, coiled and calm. Magnetizing darkness emanates from his scaled body and his piercing eyes see into the three times. Marvelling at the perfectly arranged system of Eden, he speaks:


"I believe that beauty is closely related to entropy, or rather, complexity. I believe that complexity is pretty much just the derivative of entropy over time. First and foremost let's define complexity. I like to define complexity by how difficult a given system is to describe.


Think of it like this: you have a huge file. 1 terabit of 1s and 1 terabit of 0s. If the file is just a trillion ones followed by a trillion zeros you can easily compress the file using a simple compression program.

If the file is just 101010101010... and so on until it's two terabits then you can also easily compress it to just be "10" repeated a trillion times.

Both cases are the minimum complexity cases but also the minimum and maximum entropy cases respectively. Complexity lies in the middle, as the ones and zeros "mix".


For a more real example you can think of a cup of coffee and a small container of milk.
The minimum entropy state of the system is when the two liquids are fully separated.
Easy to describe.

The maximum entropy state of the system is when the two liquids are mixed to completion having a uniform milk to coffee ratio throughout the coffee cup.
Easy to describe.

But during the mixing process is where the magic happens. You have a completely uneven distribution of liquids. You have swirls, you have shapes following the Fibonacci sequence. It's a small dance between the light and the dark in your cup.
Difficult to describe.
That's complexity.

That's beauty."

"All the things we see as complex yet orderly systems in the universe are just this phenomenon. Be it galaxies, the rings of Saturn, or life itself. For anything we describe as good or beautiful (I see beauty and goodness as interchangeable) to take place there has to be the process of increasing entropy.

You have a serene garden of flowers. What do the flowers do? They take in low entropy energy from the sun, do their complex chemical processes and radiate high entropy heat energy away so as to not overheat.

Love is also the increase of entropy between two people in my opinion. I see love between two people as the process of getting to know each other or the destruction of the barriers between them if you will; a blending of two seemingly separate appearances of the same consciousness back into one.


I believe that living beings are programmed to recognize beauty in the things that are useful to them or their kin in terms of self-preservation.

And even though a galaxy millions of light years away doesn't keep humans alive, they still intuitively realize and appreciate that it abides by the same fundamental process that produces fruit and clean drinking water - because as any and every process in the universe, it rests on the accelerating increment of entropy, the implicit signs of which are mirrored in flowers and fruit and galaxies alike.

Obviously not all increases of entropy are necessarily immediately good.
You can warm yourself up at a nice campfire or you can burn a forest down.
Same goes for love, life, galaxies, all that.

Every machine operates on this principle."


There, beneath him, stood a woman gazing at the apples the tree had brought forth.

Here, beauty is not described to be in the result of increasing entropy, but in its increase over time. So beauty is not in the state of chaos itself, but reflected in the dynamic movement of the ongoing cosmic dance between phenomena. The results of increasing entropy are also not stated to be exclusively beautiful or good.
It's all just part of the great tantric theater.

Obviously not all increases of entropy are necessarily immediately good.
You can warm yourself up at a nice campfire or you can burn a forest down.

You can learn from other cultures and grow that way by syncretizing skillfully or lose the wisdom of your heritage and identity in the process.

If we take it that everything is the result of entropy, the nature of entropy, containing both the concepts of "beautiful" and "ugly", or of "creation" and "destruction" simultaneously, is equivalent to beauty in the sense that it is complete.

It encompasses the good, the bad, the wholesome and the dirty. It contains masculine and feminine concepts, it contains the light and the dark, it contains the bitter and the sweet, it contains rise and fall. Its beauty is in the in-between state of moderation - moderation being the synthesis stage between definite extremes.

Using the word "beauty" in this context is a means to an end. Distinction is necessary.

But wait, there's more.

It is the snake in the tree speaking, not God.

Thinking that some kind of mathematical rationality can fathom the Whole, the entirety of the All, like a watchmaker can understand and manipulate a clockwork, is blasphemous pride.

While the wondrous and perfectly timed workings of the Universe may sometimes feel like clockwork, the Universe is not limited to mechanistic properties.
Living organisms like flowers or complex systems like galaxies have mechanistic characteristics.
At the same time, they're perfectly unobstructed by the limitations of mechanistic understanding.

We're looking at the equivalent of the hierarchical differentiation between
Mind in the Brain vs.
Brain/Body/All in the Mind vs.
Mind within All here.

Which rules which? Wich is superior, which inferior?
Which is the principle, Emptiness-Wisdom, and which is the temporary phenomenon, Appearance-Form? And where do they find their life-creating unity?
(They do in their thermodynamic tantric dance.)

A biologist once told me: You need to stop asking why beautiful phenomena like the marblings on the uppermost petal of rhododendron blossoms occur. Living things appear. If their characteristics do not negate life, they stay around.

In both the biologist and the mechanical engineer example, what's being pointed at is the beauty in all natural phenomena that promote life.

What is evolutionarily useful can be beautiful.

That which is beautiful is always useful, but that which is useful is not always beautiful.
