self-ac·tu·al·i·za·tion
“the realization or fulfillment of one's talents and potentialities, especially considered as a drive or need present in everyone.”
I’ve been feeling really disconnected lately. I crave conversations about astronomy, psychology, and philosophy—those deep dives into mythology and the mysteries of the universe. I want to discuss the stars, the moon, and the way different languages shape our thoughts. It’s tough when no one around me shares that passion; it often feels like I’m speaking a different language. If you’re out there and want to explore these topics together, let’s connect. I’d love to find someone to share ideas and rants with.

Joseph Boros, Reframing Environmental Scanning: An Integral Approach
To reach a true state of unity, all parts of the self must transcend beyond their separate levels. When one can succeed in doing this, he or she will have a connection to a power beyond the self.

How to Organize Your Holon “Congratulations! Yes, congratulations on your decision to form your Holodynamic Holon. A Holon is the first level of organization in the Holodynamics Society. It consists of 6 or more individuals who meet together weekly to study Holodynamic principles, apply the processes, and expand their holodynamic influence into the community and across the world.”
Since the Torus is being simultaneously generated by matter in all the various phases of “time”, it reflects the development of the universe in the past, present and future. By reflecting on this model, it becomes possible to “see” how human consciousness brought to a sufficiently altered state could obtain information concerning the past, present and future since they all exist in the universal hologram simultaneously (in the case of the future because all of the consequences of the past and present can be seen coming together in the hologram such that the future can be predicted or “seen” with total accuracy).
Moreover, it is possible to see how the implosion of energy patterns would cross and recross to create an incredibly complex four dimensional hologram or Torus, in spiral shape in movements of the energies which comprise the universe leave their mark and and hence tell their story throughout time.

When we sleep our astral body separates from the etheric body, only connected with the silver cord. When we wake again the two bodies connects again and in that short time before they are joined fully, the dreams are transferred from the astral body to volatile memory in the etherbody.
When the two bodies are rightly joined we have no spiritual access to the astral world, but for some people the two bodies don’t join fully, there is a rift between them which can be used by natural clairvoyants or there can be created a rift through drugs or other means.

Torus Configurations
Human consciousness is characterized by awareness, volition and cognitive reflection, operating within a neural workspace…Within this workspace, a bicyclic flow of information was envisioned…Both types of information flow provide the basis for integration of active information that returns to itself (a modality of self-consciousness), including modalities of universal consciousness.
Toroidal information flux is postulated by us to provide the basis for the existence of consciousness at the different scales of the Universe. There are distinct reasons to choose the multidimensional symmetrical aspects of the double vortex torus, a geometry that may mimic a combination of transversal, longitudinal and circular waves.

Roberto Assagioli’s Consciousness Egg
The Self is a transpersonal center, a source of essential being, an inner counsellor guiding us to truth, meaning, and purpose. The Self is represented as a star, and appears at the top and bottom at the top of the diagram.
In Gurdjieff’s cosmology, The Universe is represented by the symbol of the Enneagram. The Enneagram itself is composed of three symbols

The spiritual correlative of what we find externally in the world as the relations between the signs of the Zodiac and the seven planets familiar in Spiritual Science.

The movement of the light into the sphere of work. Bringing the wisdom back into the consciousness of humanity, so that it can rise proportionately to its descent, to meet the higher mind of the Soul.

The Atomic Ladder of Life, from solid to liquid to gaseous to etheric to spirit. From The Gate Beautiful by John Ward Stimson, 1903.
Emmanuel Swedenborg, the Swedish scientist and mystic, held that the soul of a man was a 'spiritual fluid' diffused throughout the body, and that the medium for its diffusion was the blood, which was thus imbued with power from the divine source. On the other hand the French occultist Eliphas Levi spoke of blood as 'the astral light made manifest in matter', the astral light in this context being the vital principle of the etheric world.
Blood was regarded by all peoples throughout history as a magic substance of tremendous psychic potency and was therefore universally hedged in by taboos. It was the sign of supreme sacrifice; it sealed covenants; it betokened both maidenly virtue and the magic power of virgins. If split on the earth blood cried aloud for vengeance...'There is scarcely any natural object with so profoundly emotional an effect as blood'.

The process of making these is:
Collect comics and beer labels, put the beer label on a piece of paper. (Peel it off while can is full)
Find comics and beer labels with similar themes or colors. This takes a while and involves comic book shopping.
Cut out comics into fun shapes.
To put it together I drink a ton of beer with my wife and sister listen to classic rock and do blow. It makes it a fun process and seems to dial in the art itself. Outlaw country!!!
