Our story of life unfolds and the pages of our book of life keep turning. There are stations of awareness and concern in our evolution. A compass of underlying elements influences us and provides deeper bearings. Our fifth chapter includes:

1. The First Path — Evolution of our insights, feelings and aspirations.
2. The Second Path — Evolution of our direction, action and actuation.
3. The Compass — Elements of guidance in our passages and crossroads.

Then do not race through your journey; mind the stations you meet; and mature in awareness at each step. Let not whim and desire lead you astray; consult your compass of balance; discover and account for the elements that shape your tale.

## 5. Reading Passages from the Book of Life ¶

**Let us continue reading** from the Book of Life. The major story of your growth and evolution, from birth through death, and the significant passages in your journey. The stations you pass through — the frames of your consciousness. 


### 5.1 The First Path of Life — Nature, Nurture and Potentials ¶

**1.** In the mother's womb we brew, our _vessel_ is maturing. We gain a particular _body_ with a particular _baseline_ for our mind, wirings in the brain and so forth. In this, we are _embodied_ into a certain nature. Then, this underlying _base nature_ is nurtured. 

**2.** We _open our eyes_ and begin our _orientation_ to the environment. What is all this that I have landed in the midst of? And we begin to craft our _basic frames_ for _navigating_ the environment we've landed in.

**3.** Then, of our encounters with the environment. As the environment nurtures us, _impressions_ are made. Impressions _coloring_ and _flavoring_ our underlying nature. These impressions generate affects, or in simple terms, likes and dislikes. Reactions that evolve into _feelings_, into _emotions_. The wireframe of our orientation, the dots we connected, is painted in many flavors and colors. 

**4.** As the painting of our lives begins to gain depth and shape, we _dream_, we _imagine_, we _aspire_, we _explore our potentials_. As the wind blows in many directions, so too our awareness journeys across paintings of our possible futures. 

But alas, we cannot forever live our lives in castles in the clouds. The ideas, the _wishes_ emerging in our _daydreams_ and _fantasies_, at some point should turn into a living reality. We enter a phase of transition. We face a junction where the _vapor of our dreams_ must _concentrate_ into a _clear direction_.


### 5.2 The Second Path of Life — Into Embodiment and Actuation ¶

**5.** As a lightning strikes the ground, we implant our _will_ and _direction_. The first path of exposure and aspirations has come to its end. We enter the second path of embodiment and actuation. 

It's not that your dreams from before are lost, scattered with the winds, discarded. They will carry with you into the future — but they are no longer the thousand possible paths that you might pursue — but they would become branches of the _trunk_, the tree of life you are cultivating. Now _firmly rooted_, well-established in your will, _intention_, direction and _concentration_.

**6.** As you enter the world of concrete _action_, _works_ and _engagements_, this containment of intention, direction and concentration becomes the empowerment, the nucleus of your _engine_ of actions, in _transforming_ your outer and inner environments. Of this, as we hone our _crafts_ and _skills_, as we _implement_ the essence of our will, there are outcomes, there are yields.

**7.** And as the _yields ripen_ across our fields of engagement, the time comes for _harvest_ and _integration_. The seventh major phase in our evolution, we take account and we begin to _reconcile_ all that we have accomplished. No longer do you pursue more, but you attend to what you have acquired. You dive into your _pool of assets_ as a whole.

External, internal, all the same. What you've accomplished out there, you've accomplished in here. And where you've made errors out there, you've made errors in here. A time of _introspective reflection_, _self-refinement_. This is the second major transition — one that many never ever reach in their lives. 

**8.** Our first transit was from exposure and aspiration into action and actualization. Our second transit is from a phase and a path of engagement into _harmonization_ and _complete alignment_. The _culmination_ and seamless _fulfillment_ of all of your life's potentials. 


### 5.3 Compass of Orientation — Stations of Awareness ¶

Then, as we pass through the stations in our lives and reach junctions, reach crossroads. However shall we orient, discover the best path forward? The _best path forward_ is certainly a path of the greatest _balance and synergy_ between your potentials — not the path of mere whim and desire. 

For guidance into your dilemmas, into your quandaries, then — seek guidance from a _plane higher_ than the _stations of your path_. Reflect on the underlying _influences_ that guide and govern all things.  Find your bearings with the _help of the compass_ — _elements_ that are all-present. 

- 1. Consult **Earth**. Contemplate on your _structures_ and _containment_. Discover and account for your _blueprint_.
- 2. Consult **Water**. Contemplate on _flow_ and _adaptations_. Discover and account for the _continuum_ of your life. 
- 3. Then consult **Fire**. Contemplate on _interaction_ and _reactions_. Discover and account for the _catalytic potentials_ in your life. 
- 4. And also consult **Air**. The _network of relations_, the _emergent meanings_ in your life. Discover and account for your _existence_ and _life-cycle as a whole_. 

With the help of the _compass of four_, with attention to your _eight stations_ of evolution, you gain deeper insight and orientation into your life as a whole. The _threads of the loom_ of life begin to _reveal their patterns_. The _script_ of the _book of your life_ begins to make sense on a level deeper than ever before. Safe trails, my friend. May your journey be of _high definition_ and _broad spectrum_.
