Fixing a few fractures: BROKEN If look at any obsessive dedication, especially where prone to escapism the following is apparent (simplified): The 10III, qua ta’anug, is not seen properly, and this is due to a few overlapping expressions (ratzon l’ratzon) of that hidden agenda. One damaged 10II seems to be for 4II as an ends unto itself, rationalized (8II) by its necessity for various causes...
Mimatai korim shema b’arvit…[I] Sof ma’ase[1]… The Mishnah was packaged to ensure the survival of key structures within the oral tradition, which although requiring great losses of wisdom, was deemed necessary for the great journey ahead. The terrible voyage had not yet hinted the breadth of its passages, nor depths, nor sense of lost horizons. The Mishnah begins with a question, but the purpose...
When we saw the graves we knew ourselves ready for oblivion, whenever soon it came. We sat down and wrote our goodbye, “This”, we said, “was our favourite thing” (amongst all that we’d experienced within life) That experience. The expansion in the mind that turns the world and we sit still in the center, still. Enlightening what had been impossible to say, or think, or not think. A space that can...
Here I attempt to design instructions for contemplation which aims to induce an awareness of eligibility, allure, and direction, for a particular will. Here I use the will that says, “I shall rule,” (which are the first three words of all wills), “and my majesty shall be the prism that knows itself to be riding a ladder constructed of dreams within dreams.” First select three forms that are...
There should be no doubt in the mind of the reflective sapiens that their biological basis is the least likely and most astounding object within all that they have known or imagined. But why? I force the reader to expand this sense of astonishment by (before leaping into a strict series of educational demonstrations) illustrating some elements that comprise their unarticulated amazement. How does...
Begin by an illustration of Kant’s synthesis of empiricism and idealism. Continue by illustrating Hegel’s using synthesis to bootstrap human consciousness to itself Pause to explain the phenotype of BPD[I] esp black/white thinking. Pause to describe the rise of cog-behavioural therapies and their rise out of mindfulness. Describe the addition of D of DBT[II] into the CBT[III] mix. Elaborate using...
[Editor: This is already dated. And contains real problems, but those lie outside the scope of intent for readership so ok. The point is more how to guide an introduction to something which people are willing to understand, but can’t imagine doing so without condensation. [most people should rather admit to knowing as much about .., as about devas]] B/s: Explain how we need wisdom for seeing...

My motivation to express and communicate my thoughts on these things is curtailed on one side by an awareness of the immensity of my ignorance, and on the other side by my fear that I have no right to promote such substantial claims given my absent credentials. What follows is successful if it convinces the following: I have a unique perspective, which forms an expertise on the basis of its...
