Abraxis. Sublimating Sol et Luna. Yin
and Yang. Full understanding / awareness of the self. This leads to
the possibility of changing what you desire to change; to integrate
as you see fit.
Of course, before you begin to change
and integrate, the highest degree of wisdom and knowledge is
preferable so that you may change and integrate in the optimal way.
Information gathering is crucial for this, but so is the ability to
integrate said information in a useful and lucid manner. Clarity of
mind allows you to have the requisite mental resources available to
apply to both the gathering and integrating of information. This
'integration' involves the analysis of information being received
both in terms of itself as newly received meme and in the context of
its relationships with all the other concepts which are part of your
personal ideosphere. This pondering over new and
old concepts will lend to some form of integration even as it may
disintegrate previously extant memeplexes in your mind. To do this
well, you must be
intellectually honest, at least with yourself. Your ego will destroy
you if you let it. Whereas I am presently unsure about the theories
surrounding the 'self', I currently view it as a desired state of
optimally conscious evolution, the fully transmuted alchemist of the
mind, if not the body as well.
In the
realm of terra mensa one may find both previously visible and
occulted 'demons'; those detrimental aspects of one's psyche which if
left to 'themselves' will continue to negatively affect the
individual's life through their arising in given situations. In other
words, the metaprograms that steer one's behavior and thought
processes may be redirected for positive, preferable results as
opposed to harming the individual. There are multiple mehtods to
employ in the achieving / achievement of mental clarity most are
successful, or more successful when exercised in tandem with one
another. These may include, but are not limited to, different forms
of yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, aspects of cognitive
behavioral therapy, NLP, and physical exercise.
Once
one gains the ability to clear the conscious mind of the constant
mental banter which keeps the mind from true, effectively focus then
the task of self-analysis is made simpler, though not necessarily
easier at all. The ability to clearly focus on all necessary aspects
of oneself is a must if one wishes to attain anything near a fully
developed self in preparation of the realization of the desired
outcomes of the self as opposed to the short-term, puerile desires of
the self. The previously mentioned gathering of information is so
important for this.
