Constructing a Contemplation for Confidence

C

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 constituted either by (a) scope of pre-existing power, (b) precedence of power, or (.c) envisioned domain for the manifestation of future power.

E.g.

  1. Imaginative genius (qua scope of power in itself)
  2. Many perspectives had been assimilated (qua power to incorporate paradigms for dreaming)
  3. New prism for attendance, by way of the traveller (qua domain)

Next, select three illustrations for each, which will be constructed either by explanation or by examples (imagined or remembered or confabulated).

E.g.

1a. Imaginative genius is the ability to combine ideas from different origins, knowing how to abstract their lessons and apply, how to cross levels of abstractions (e.g. taking concepts from one school to create a wisdom which is then used to elaborate forms in other schools).

1b. It is the ability to not be restricted by what is assumed by most, nor by what form expectations which for most are so basic as to be immune to extraction and analysis.

1c. It is the ability to stand at different frames of reference within a topic or self, and know-how they stand in relation to each other, and how they can be helpful for each other, and how they are woven.

2a. I have assimilated the Western philosophy from around 600BCE to around 1920CE.

2b. I have assimilated Indian philosophy from all the primary texts of the Theravada cannon around the eightfold path, and also explored the BG at multiple translations, and also the Rg Veda, and also explored the practices around these.

2c. I have looked into the Talmud and Seder Hishtalshelut far more than most could imagine.

3a. Prism of phenomenology as the horizon of reality

3b. Prism of intersubjectivity as manifestations echoing internal vectors.

3c. Prism of empiricism as a metaphor.

I note that the FACE is ignited by the voices that say, “You are delusional and have no sense in pursuing these things”.
