Let us then revisit and review all that has been discussed. The principles will be the same. The details will be refreshed — for the story is ever renewed. From the foundations of being and becoming, to the Mind of God, the fabric of existence, the composition of the world as we know it, down to the last rock on the road.

1. Genesis — The Setting of the Elemental Stage ¶

And I will not say, "In the beginning there was", because there was no beginning. The dawn of all things is not within the realm of time and space. Then — into the existential roots.

1.1 - The Existential Roots ¶

There is Emptiness, the absolute unconditional host of all things. "I am that I am not."

Then its unavoidable counterpart, Fullness, the absolute all. "I am that I am", or "I become as I become".

In this parity, in this existential duality, there is tension. The magnetic Pushing and Pulling, Opening and Contracting, Splitting and Joining.

Of these tensions, and of Emptiness and Fullness, there is an absolute meeting point in the middle — the Mirror. This Mirror we may call the Mind of God — the potential for all things, the generator of all becoming, the terminal of all things. Simultaneously everything and nothing.

When the existential tension tilts toward Pushing and Splitting — the world and its composition comes into being, the endless dispersion and diversification of all of existence. And when the tension tilts toward Pulling and Joining — we return to oneness, toward Emptiness and the Fullness that it hosts.

1.2 - The Birth of the Elements ¶

Of this interplay of Emptiness and Fullness, the Pushings and Pullings — primal principles, the elements, come into being. In and Out — Combining and Contrasting.

• Of the outgoing Mind of God, the expanse of space is covered with awareness — the potential for a meaningful creation as a whole. This we call the subtle element of Air.
• Then into the crafting of this potential creation — juxtaposition, interaction, magnetism, mutual reactivity and transformation. This principle we may call the subtle element of Fire.
• In this potential of becoming, into an all-pervasive network of relations, woven into being through a magnetic dance — a cohesive flux, an adaptive continuum emerges. This we may call the subtle element of Water.
• And as all things, diversified, begin to establish themselves in their natures, finding their roles and positions in existence — structures and stability come to be. This we may call the subtle element of Earth.

1.3 - The Fabric that Becomes Everything ¶

Then here we have an outline of the fabric:

• The absolute fields of Emptiness and Fullness;
• The tensions In and Out; Combining and Contrasting; Joining and Splitting;
• Their meeting point — a Mirror at the threshold of all things.

And of this prismatic Mirror, the four elements:

• 1. Air, the expanse of the fabric;
• 2. Fire, the juxtapositions of the fabric;
• 3. Water, the cohesion of the fabric; and
• 4. Earth, the structures of the fabric.

Whatever all that follows in the endless compositions of existence, and life as we know it, rests atop this base fabric. The unfolding of every process through its phases, the stages of your human evolution, and the fields of concern in your awareness.

All generations: Children of this fabric, born of the Mind of God, the Mirror at the threshold of tensions. With this, the stage is set — and we are good to proceed into the countless castings and combinations of these primary patterns.

2. Birth of Subject and Eight Realms of Awareness ¶

In the process of being and becoming, there are two distinct roots — right beneath the Threshold Mirror, the Absolute Throne, the Mind of God:

• The radiant Outward manifestation. An all-pervading field of consciousness; and
• The absorbent Inward manifestation. An all-supporting field of substance.

In simple terms: the Seer and the Seen, or Energy and Matter. As the Seer enters into the Seen, as Energy couples with Matter, there is progressive awareness of particular forms.

Should awareness lock into one of these forms, this all-pervading field of consciousness enters into a tunnel. Picture a funnel of the Absolute into the Relative. And through this funnel, specific forms of life are animated with sentience.

2.1 - The Eight Frames and Phases of Becoming ¶

In the world of concrete forms you, a human being, are a prime example. We enter concrete time and space. There is a sequence to existence. There are frames and phases to your evolution, and there are corresponding states or primary fields of consciousness. The octagon, eight realms of becoming:

• 1. First, you are born, present in a vessel — a physical body.
• 2. Second, you open your eyes and perceive an environment — orientation and insights.
• 3. Third, you take in the environment — impressions and feelings.
• 4. Fourth, as you reconcile your insights and emotions — dreams and aspirations.
• 5. Fifth, as you determine your direction — will and objectives.
• 6. Sixth, as you engage with the environment — works and transformation.
• 7. Seventh, as you pool together your harvest — integration and reconciliation.
• 8. And eighth, as you align and harmonize your life — culmination and fulfillment.

As noted, these stations of life are also found as fields of consciousness — windows or lenses of your awareness, attending to the life-cycles of all things in existence.

2.2 - The Eight Frames as Psychosomatic Centers ¶

And you will also find these fields present as psychosomatic centers in your being —

• 1. Where your physical presence, your vessel, is the Root;
• 2. Where your vision and orientation is the Third Eye;
• 3. Where your impressions and emotions are the Heart;
• 4. Where your dreams and aspirations are the Throat;
• 5. Where your will and directives are the Sacral;
• 6. Where your works and engagement are the Plexus;
• 7. Where your integration and reconciliation are the Cranium; and
• 8. Where your culmination and fulfillment are the Crown — beyond your body.

2.3 - The Eight Frames in Nature ¶

And you may also find these eight stations in the environments of nature:

• 1. Where your root and physical body are the fertile Pastures that support the countless expressions of life;
• 2. Where your third eye and insights are the Mountain peak that unfolds your perspectives;
• 3. Where your heart and feelings are the Stream that flows in many textures in the riverbeds of your life;
• 4. Where your throat and aspirations are the Wind on its journey touching the potentials of life;
• 5. Where your sacral and will are the Thunder that strikes and inseminates the earth;
• 6. Where your plexus and works are the Flames that illuminate and transform your environment;
• 7. Where the cranium and your integration are the Ocean, a pool of your accumulated essence; and
• 8. Where the crown and culmination are the Heaven, the consummation of all that you are.

These eight are the framings of your life, archetypes of evolutionary concerns. Find them in the stages of your life, in the greater cycle of your being — but also find them in all the micro-cycles of each and every living process you engage with. Find them in the cycles of nature, find them in the progress of human society.

2.4 - Universals with Countless Castings ¶

As the four elements are universal, taking on countless castings, countless masks, countless flavors in different contexts — so too the eight stages of evolution, the framings in time and space, are universal and find countless expressions.

Journey through the realms a thousand times, turn the compass of elements a thousand times more — and you may find yourself growing closer to the Mirror in the midst of all things, to the Mind of God, a prism of countless generations.

Let the Seer see; let the Seen be seen. "I am that I am not", and "I become as I become" — without attachment, free of fixation to particular states. You are not the Seer — you are not the Seen. From there: Your liberation.

3. The Human Package — Stacked Domains of Operation ¶

Consciousness in a human package. The final station and the field of our cultivation. We've touched on the eight phases of our human life-cycle and the related eight fields of our awareness. These eight are a lens of progression, stations on the horizontal axis of our lives. Then let us look at the vertical axis, the levels forming the stack of our being.

3.1 Interconnected Planes of Presence and Awareness ¶

Our life unfolds not as a singular homogeneous experience, but on multiple interconnected planes. In simultaneous operation, informing each other. In short, these four are:

• 1. Instincts;
• 2. Affects;
• 3. Evaluations; and
• 4. Relations.

In other terms, Corporeal, Emotional, Analytical, and Identity concerns. So:

• Instincts and Corporeality are Physical presence;
• Then, Affects and Emotions are presence in Feelings;
• Then, Evaluations and Analysis are presence in Thought-Formation; and
• Finally, Relations and Identity are presence in a field of Meanings.

3.2 The Elements in Our Planes of Awareness ¶

These four very much relate to the four elements we have reviewed:

• Our Biological Needs, the struggle for survival — of the element of Earth — stability and structures.
• Our Flux of Emotions — of Water — a dynamic continuum leading us forth in our lives.
• The crafting of our Thought-Forms — of Fire — revealing and responding to our frames of existence.
• And finally, the Meaningful Identity — of Air — how we pervade our world, how it all comes together.

Now, in the world of manifest elements, nothing exists in isolation. It is not that Emotions are pure Water. We have emotions born of Earth, of Fire, and of Air as well — combined into the flux of our affects. In the field of our Identity, we also have ego structures, reflective adaptation, reactive assertion, and even higher aspirations — becoming something broader and greater than we currently are. So, the elements combine with the elements in the world of manifestation.

3.3 - The Elements in their Pure and Primal State ¶

We may also look at the elements in the pure and primal state of their origins.

• We have Emptiness, the element of Air at its roots.
• We have Fullness, the element of Earth at its roots.
• We have Inward tension, combining Water at its roots; and
• We have Outward tension, contrasting Fire at its roots.

The same principles — emergent on more subtle and concrete planes of existence. From the primordial fields and tensions, to the manifest universal elements. Back into our human frame, the vertical axis, our stack of presence — Instincts, Emotions, Thought-Forms, and Identity, with all that they entail.

3.4 - Beyond Fixation — Our Instruments of Awareness ¶

These are but instruments of consciousness for registering impressions that we take in from the world, and for expressing our responses in reflection of the world. Do not let your awareness become fixated in any one of these four. Do not plant the funnel of your consciousness into a particular concern domain — for it is not that we work with a single funnel, abiding at the bottom tip of it.

Rather, surrounding the sphere of consciousness — unbound by its base nature — are countless funnels of attention in its orbits. Flexible, extending, contracting, in perpetual change, mirroring the concerns emergent in living actuality. If you fixate on any one of them, asserting one more important than the other, in perpetuity, beyond the moment... Then that is where you condition yourself, incarnating from the fullness of your being into a fraction, a subset of your totality.

You need not invest consciousness into your Instincts, Emotions, Thought-Forms, and Identity. Instead, liberate them each into their own natures. They each have their natural shapes and capacities, sculpted by your history of evolution — and a self-emergent intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. Allow for that to arise.

You need not inject your hallucinated agendas into any of it. Allow them their freedom. Allow for them to reconcile and harmonize unto themselves, and in relation to the world you experience. Witness their workings and allow for their unfolding.

Your only mission and imperative is in ensuring that they each operate freely in their actual nature. Free from your projections, free from your assertions — past, present, or future. In doing that, you facilitate your realignment, your return to the fullness of what you are, and the fullness of what is.
