The Art of Transcendence

Planning

The Art of Transcendence is of vital importance to the Self (i.e., Mind + Body) being a matter of Ascension (i.e., Spirit) or Reincarnation (i.e., Soul).

As a road to Prosperity or Despair, henceforth, the Law of Mastery (i.e., 10,000 hours of focused effort) cannot be neglected.

When seeking to determine the Battlefield Conditions (i.e., Rules of Engagement with Ego), consider the five (5) Constant Factors governing the Levels of Success (i.e., Range of Ascension/Prosperity – Reincarnation/Despair):

(1) The Moral Law = Alignment with Ruler (-i x-i = 1)

-????? Self = Life’s Purpose

-????? Ego = Survival

(2) Heaven = Environment (PV=nRT)

-????? Self = The Health of the Home

-????? Ego = The Hunger of the Heart

(3) Earth = Passage of Time (0S1 n=x En+1)

-????? Self = Path to Ascension

-????? Ego = Path of Resistance

(4) The Commander = Leading Forces (7 Holey Virtues)

Self-Actualizing Virtues

Chastity : Temperance : Charity : Diligence : Kindness : Patience : Humility

Value to Society

Ethics : Self-Control : Contribution : Resilience : Empathy : Endurance : Humbleness

Ego-Centric Vices

Lust : Gluttony : Greed : Sloth : Envy : Wrath : Pride

(5) Method & Discipline = Pursuit of Happiness (E=MC2)

-????? Self = Efficient Application of Energy (CBA vs ROI/Law of Thermodynamics)

-????? Ego = Conservation of Energy (Law of Entropy)

All those that have Transcended know these five factors.? Those that do not struggle.

Therefore, when preparing to go to battle with Life (i.e., Carpe Diem) or another Entity (i.e., Person, Business, or Government, Religion, Belief System), deliberate wisely based on comparison.

1.?? Which is aligned with The Moral Law?

2.???Which of the two (2) parties has the most Ability (i.e., Mindset)?

3.?? Who has the advantage of Environment and/or Time?

4.?? Which side has more Discipline in its Method?

5.?? Which Fighting Force is stronger?

6.?? Which side has better trained Support?

7.???Which side’s Support has better Morale?

The balance of the considerations determines the outcome.

The person who believes will succeed.

When reaping what has been sown, do not bite of more than one can chew.

So live to learn or live to die.

As all transcendence is based on authenticity.

Hence, when able to advance, be eager; when applying ourselves, be diligent; when close to finishing, be surgent; when beginning, be patient.

Entice the Dream with Goals.

Establish the Order of Operations, and crush them.

If secure, be prepared.

If doubtful, evade it.

If frustrated, find satisfaction.

Pretend to be strong until you Succeed.

If gaining, keep going.

If blocked, conquer after division.

Attack where you can.

Rest when you need.

Speak without saying.

Weigh the risks.

Trust your instincts.

Adapt when necessary.

The 9 Ways of Living

The Art of Transcendence recognizes nine (9) varieties of Battlefields:

(1) ?Dispersive = Of the Mind or Home = Do Not fight with One’s Self = Make Peace with Identity

(2) ?Facile = Pressure of the External World = Fight when you must = Find Common Ground

(3) ?Contentious = Unknown Unknowns = Do Not move to Fight until ready = Secure your Defenses

(4) ?Open = Liberty of Movement = Trust but verify = Expand your periphery perceptions

(5) ?Intersecting Paths = Venn Diagram = Blood thicker than water = Cut ties with baggage

(6) ?Serious = Fight or Flight = Stop for the Fauna and smell the Flora = Ensure safe progress

(7) ?Difficult = Sluggish Movement = Just keep Swimming = Use debt wisely

(8) ?Hemmed-In = Down the Rabbit Hole = Walk the Walk & Talk the Talk = Never quit

(9) ?Desperate = Make Haste Not Waste = Carpe Diem = Accept Death

Operating

The body of knowledge is commensurate to the cost of living.

The cost of living is commensurate to the quality of life.?

The quality of life is commensurate to the pursuit of happiness.

The pursuit of happiness is commensurate to the dreaming of goals.

The dreaming of goals is commensurate to accumulation of information.

The accumulation of information is commensurate to the access to truth.

The access to truth is commensurate to the body of knowledge.

When the field of vision is clouded with smoke and mirrors, the rose-colored gauntlet must be dropped before the thumping drum of chest beats can be heard.
