Dao means the sequence or spontaneity present in everything. It's the natural order of the universe. It is instinctive and its Chi or energy keeps flowing. Wu wei means to be in harmony with Dao. It is a process of harmonizing. It's like blending in. You will have to become like water. You should do with h wu wei. You should not do anything opposing the Dao present in the moment or thing. If you did that, you are not using wu wei. Pu.. The goal of wu wei is to attain the primordial state. Here primordial means unadulterated pure original uncorrupted. When you feel constantly use wu wei you will eventually become one with the Dao. That way you become the purer self, the self which should have always existed. The self which the universe wants you to be. This is your most natural self. Devoid of all social constructs and perceptions. Te or de means the degree to which you are internalizing or acquiring the Dao. How much you are able to align to the dao. The more you are successful in bringing the dao in you the more is your de. It's the level of expertise.

Taoism, Daoism (Chinese: 道教; pinyin: Dàojiāo) Chinese philosophy to signify the fundamental or true nature of the world: simplicity and selflessness in conformity with the Tao, leading a life of non-purposive action, a life expressing the essence of spontaneity.. Taoism, also known as Daoism, arose about the same time as Confucianism. Laoze (Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ, also Laotzi, Laotse, Lao-Tse, Lao-tzu, Lao Zi or Lão Tu), is considered to have written a book of 81 chapters, named Tao Te Ching, also Daodejing (trad. Chinese: 道德經; simpl. Chinese: 道德经; pinyin: Dàodéjīng), a classical Chinese text, mainly concerning 道 tao/ dào "way," and 德 te/dé "virtue”, life, strength. Taoist thought focuses on genuineness, longevity, health, immortality, vitality, wu wei (non-action, a natural action, a perfect equilibrium with tao), detachment, refinement (emptiness), spontaneity, transformation and omni-potentiality. This religious and philosophical tradition of Taoism had its roots in the nature worship and divination of the earliest Chinese people. The word ‘Tao’ 道 (or Dao) translates into "path", ”method”, “principle” or "way", the character 教 translates into ‘”teach” or “class” and Taoist belief is based on the idea that there is central or organizing principle of the Universe, a natural order or a "way of heaven", Tao, that one can come to know by living in harmony with nature and hence with the cosmos and the Universe. The philosophy of Tao signifies the fundamental or true nature of the world, it is the essential, unnameable process of the universe. Tao both precedes and encompasses the universe. Nothing in the Universe is fixed, static or non moving; per se everything is transforming all the time. The flow of ‘chi’ energy, as the essential energy of action, existence and active principle forming part of any living things, is compared and believed to be the influence that keeps the universal order of Tao balanced. Analogies exist between all levels of existence: the Universe, the cosmos, Earth and mankind are structured analogically and are equal in detail, forming an interconnected whole. Through an understanding of natural laws, an individual can be one with the Tao by living in accordance with nature (cosmos/ Universe) and all its transformations and changes, adopting and assimilating to these, and hence can gain eternal life. With and due to the transformations and changes of the phenomena everything and every being spontaneously, by intuition and in impulse establishes its own ‘way’. From an ethical point of view it is considered correct not to interfere with the spontaneity or alter it by any means, expressed by ‘wu wei’ (chin. 無爲 / 无为, wúwéi or also in Chinese: 爲無爲 / 为无为, wéi wúwéi, non- action as in abstention of any action opposing nature). All things with their transformations and changes are considered to be self regulating, self expressing in their natural form. ‘Wu wei’ does not signify not acting at all, but rather not forcing things on their way. Wu wei signifies that the action should be immediately in accordance with the Tao, hence the necessary will be done without exaggeration, hyperbole or overeagerness as these are considered obstructive, though rather in an easy, facile, non disturbing way, leading to overall harmony and balance. It is a state of inner tranquillity, which will show the right effortless action at the right time. (i.e. the harmonious complexity of natural ecosystems- the tao- works well without man made changes- wu wei. Wu wei could be characterised by the adaptability of the flow of water in a stream. I.e. Water flows without awareness, or naturally, downriver (principle of tao). It might be blocked by an object (branch or stone), though without contriving to do so, finds it way around the object. Water acts without motive, it acts with wu wei. If one wants to travel on water, one will use a boat or ship, since it is suitable as she moves around adequately on water. If one wants to walk on land, a boat is not suitable to move around. One will only be annoyed and only have difficulties, not gaining anything but inflicting damage to oneself.) Taoism does not identify man's will as the root problem. Rather, it asserts that man must place his will in harmony with the natural universe. Taoist philosophy recognizes that the Universe already works harmoniously according to its own ways; if a person exerts his will against or upon the world he would disrupt the harmony that already exists, he would go ‘against the flow of life’. (i.e. the harmonious change of seasons of summer, autumn, winter, spring - the tao- works well, though through man made global warming, the harmony is disordered. Damming rivers might result in devastating flooding- unwanted by mankind, though produced by the same. On the other hand, the yearly flooding of the river Nile provides the soil with natural fertiliser. Damming the river would result in less fertilised soil, hence weaker crops, less harvest, less income, more hunger.) The return to tao, the return to the interconnected whole and unity, can only be accomplished if dualistic thoughts are abolished and acts are conducted naturally and spontaneously. Completeness in Taoism is thought of as empty, soft and spontaneous, and likewise should be the action: without the interference or intervention of a dualistic intellect, intuitive and adapting to a situation. The completeness or perfection of any act detects by intuition the best way to proceed, and it is considered absurd to put one’s energy into an unfruitful, unsuccessful act just in order to act at all and hence exhaust and diminish one’s energy. Any act should be in accordance with the surrounding, circumstances and means. In this manner, wu wei is ‘not interfering’ or ‘action through non acting’ and can be considered as creative passivity. Resulting from this attitude of ‘letting it happen’ results consequently as well the approach of non violence and lack of resistance. The wu wei is characterised by an activity undertaken to perceive the Tao within all things and to conform oneself to its "way." The practice and efficacy of wu wei are fundamental in Taoist thought. The goal of ‘wu wei’ is alignment with Tao, revealing the soft and invisible power within all things. When following the ‘wu wei’, the goal is called ‘pu’ (simplified Chinese: 朴; traditional Chinese: 樸; pinyin: pǔ, pú; lit. "uncut wood", translated as "uncarved block", "unsewn log", or "simplicity"), representing a passive state of receptiveness. It is believed to be the true nature of the mind, unburdened by knowledge or experiences. Pu is a symbol for a state of pure potential and perception without prejudice, without illusion. Pu describes an aimless action, because with a goal, one would develop anxiety about this goal. Pu describes the ‘just being’ without the aim of being. (i.e.: Playing an instrument just for playing, not thinking about the playing, since otherwise one will get in ones own way and interfere with one’s own playing.) The ‘te’ (Chinese: 德; pinyin: dé, "power; virtue", ‘”heart”, "inherent character, personal character; inner power inner strength; integrity") is the manifestation of the Tao within all things, the active expression, the active living, or cultivation, of the "way" Tao, the implementation and manifestation of the Tao through undesigned actions. The Tao implements and manifests itself through undesigned actions. If Tao is honoured and if ‘te’ is considered precious, than there is no need for any regulations: all is working durable by itself. Therefore, allow Tao to create, generate, nourish, proliferate, accomplish, ripen, mature, foster and protect; produce without owning, affect without keeping, increase without domineering: that is secret Tao. Thus, to possess the fullness of te means to be in perfect harmony with one's original nature. All things in the Universe, including mankind, are a microsomes of the Universe, to which all natural laws such as The Five Elements Theory, Feng Shui, the concept of the bagua and especially the the yin - yang philosophy, being an important concept of taoism since yin and yang emerge from the tao- apply. ‘The way of life’, rituals, certain foods (Five Elements), meditation, visualisation, imagination, mystical worlds, qigong, t'ai-chi-ch'uan, certain techniques of breathing, sexual practices (spiritual and cosmic pursuit, maintaining health, enhance one’s lifespan) and substances and medicine effect the believers physical and mental health, as well as the knowledge of nature with its natural herbs, traditional chinese medicine and knowledge of alchemy does. By understanding himself, man may gain knowledge of the universe, and vice versa. In Laotzi’s definition, tao is considered to be the pervasive principle of all things in the universe, being the highest reality and the highest mystery, the primordial originality and unity, a cosmical law and an absolute. From the tao diverted the ‘ten thousand things’, namely the cosmos, as well as the order of thing, similar to a law of nature. But tao itself is not an omnipotent being, but the genesis, the source and the alliance, the conjunction of opposites and as such not definable. Tao is ‘the nameless', because neither it nor its principles can ever be adequately expressed in words. From a philosophical point of view tao can be seen apart and beyond from all defining abstract concepts, because it is the reason for and the reason of being, the transcendental origin and transcendental philosophy and as such incorporates all, including the antipode of being and non being. Based on that, nothing can be said referring the tao, because every single definition would impose a restriction. But tao is both, unlimited transcendency as well as the immanent principle of the cosmos and the universe. The effects of tao create the genesis by generating duality, yin and yang, light and shadow, since every action creates a counter-action as a natural, unavoidable movement within manifestations of the Tao. From the metamorphosis, movement, motion, flow, interaction and interplay of the duality emerges and arises the world. The ‘Three Jewels of Tao’ (Chinese: 三寶; pinyin: sānbǎo) refer to the three virtues of taoism: 1) compassion, kindness, love (Chinese: 慈; pinyin: cí; literally "compassion, tenderness, love, mercy, kindness, gentleness and implies the term ‘mother’, ‘mother’s/ parental love’) 2) moderation, simplicity, frugality (Chinese: 儉; pinyin: jiǎn; literally "frugality, moderation, economy, restraint, be sparing") When applied to the moral life it stands for the simplicity of desire. 3 ) humility, modesty The third treasure is a six-character phrase instead of a single word: Chinese 不敢為天下先, Bugan wei tianxia xian, "not dare to be first/ahead in the world", referring to the taoist way to avoid premature death. Taoist Deities Taoist deities include nature spirits, ancient legendary heroes, humanized planets and stars, Hsien (humans who became immortal and achieved divinity through Taoist practices and teachings, see: 8 Immortals), ancestor spirits (see: Ancestor Worship in Taoism, Joss paper) and animals such as dragons (see: dragon dance), tigers, phoenixes, snakes (see: Animal symbolism) and lions (see: lion dance). All human activities—even such things as drunkenness and robbery—are represented by deities as well. Heaven, the pantheon (of which the Chinese taoist culture has over 30) mirrored the political system of China at that time with all of its civil servants, bureaucrats, having an army, a royal family, parasitical courtiers, higher or lower ranking deities, who could be promoted or demoted according to their actions (see: 8 Immortals, Chang’e, Guan Yu (revered as Saintly Emperor Guan), Guan Yin, Jade Emperor, Kitchen God, Tsai Shen Yeh). Reflecting the order of the Chinese political system, each single department of the pantheon is overseen by a particular deity, spirit or god. The highest Taoist deity, Yù Huáng -ti (see: Jade Emperor), is associated with the ancient Chinese god Shang Di, ruler over all Heaven, Earth and the Underworld/ Hell. The Jade Emperor, also referred to as Yù Huáng -ti, adjudicates and metes out rewards and remedies to actions of saints, the living, and the deceased according to a merit system loosely called the Jade Principles Golden Script. The seven brightest stars of the constellation are Ursa Major, the Great Bear, also called the Big Dipper. In Eastern Asia, these stars compose the Northern Dipper. They are colloquially named "The Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper" (Chinese: 北斗七星; pinyin: běidǒu qīxīng). Taoist believe that this star constellation is the seat of the celestial bureaucracy of the gods. Sometimes there are said to be nine stars - two invisible "attendant" stars, one on either side of the star Alkaid. In contrast to the Confucian program of social reform through moral principle, ritual, and government regulation, the true way of restoration for the Taoists consisted in the banishment of learned sageliness and the discarding of wisdom. "Manifest the simple," urged Lao-tzu, "embrace the primitive, reduce selfishness, have few desires." As the Tao operates impartially in the universe, so should mankind disavow assertive, purposive action. The Taoist life is not, however, a life of total inactivity. It is rather a life of nonpurposive action (wu-wei). Stated positively, it is a life expressing the essence of spontaneity (tzu-jan, "self-so"). See also:

Bruce Lee already explains this a bit in the full quote: "Emptyyour mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Ifyou put water intoa cup, it becomes the cup. You put waterinto a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water myfriend."- Bruce Lee There are different takes on what he could have meant, depending on what the question was that led him to this statement, but if we assume he talks about life, then what he means is this: Water is formless, therefore it can adapt to every form. You, however, are often way too rigid. You, however, are often way too rigid. When a situation arises that you do not think you can handle, fear overtakes you and you degenerate into a state of helplessness. You are not adapting to your circumstances, are not dealing with the situation, and instead complain about it, and even blaming When the teacup situation arises you yell at it if you do not fit in right away, and blame the surroundings for shaping you into a shape that does not fit. You do not adapt. You let your past control who you are and are staying rigid in your form, which means you only fit into certain situations and crack at others. When water crashes against an object, it disperses and forms again, but when a box, for example, crashes against an object it shatters into pieces. Currently, you are like that box, trying to force yourself to adjust to different situations, shattering to pieces, breaking your own spirit, if you can't. What Bruce Lee meant with his quote "Be like water my friend" is that you should not hold your own image so tightly. You are not your past, you are not the object people shaped you to be; you are simply water that has temporarily taken on that form. You can be successful no matter your start, can be anything you like to be and adjust to any and every situation if you just adjust and deal with things the way they come instead of wishing they were different. Stop trying to make the teacup adjust to you and adjust to the teacup instead. Stop trying to make the teacup adjust to you and adjust to the teacup instead. Problems arise all the time in life, and you can try to keep your rigid shape, smashing into the problems until one of you breaks, or you can be like water and slip through the cracks.

What did Bruce Lee mean by his saying "be like water"? “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

Wu Wei – Doing Nothing 無爲 Wu wei means – in Chinese – non-doing or ‘doing nothing’. It sounds like a pleasant invitation to relax or worse, fall into laziness or apathy. Yet this concept is key to the noblest kind of action according to the philosophy of Daoism – and is at the heart of what it means to follow Dao or The Way. According to the central text of Daoism, the Dao De Jing: ‘The Way never acts yet nothing is left undone’. This is the paradox of wu wei. It doesn’t meant not acting, it means ‘effortless action’ or ‘actionless action’. It means being at peace while engaged in the most frenetic tasks so that one can carry these out with maximum skill and efficiency. Something of the meaning of wu weiis captured when we talk of being ‘in the zone’ – at one with what we are doing, in a state of profound concentration and flow. Wu wei is closely connected to the Daoist reverence for the natural world, for it means striving to make our behaviour as spontaneous and inevitable as certain natural processes, and to ensure that we are swimming with rather than against currents. We are to be like the bamboo that bends in the wind or the plant that adjusts itself to the shape of a tree. Wu wei involves letting go of ideals that we may otherwise try to force too violently onto things; it invites us instead to respond to the true demands of situations, which tend only to be noticed when we put our own ego-driven plans aside. What can follow is a loss of self-consciousness, a new unity between the self and its environment, which releases an energy that is normally held back by an overly aggressive, wilful style of thinking. But none of this means we won’t be able to change or affect things if we strive for wu wei. The Dao De Jingpoints out that we should be like water, which is ‘submissive and weak’ and ‘yet which can’t be surpassed for attacking what is hard and strong’. Through gentle persistence and a compliance with the specific shape of a problem, an obstacle can be worked round and gradually eroded. The idea of achieving the greatest effects by a wise strategic passivity has been central to Chinese notions of politics, diplomacy and business. In the manuals on wisdom produced by Daoists, we are repeatedly told that rather than impose a plan or model on a situation, we should let others act frantically, and then lightly adjust ourselves as we see the direction that matters have evolved in. In China’s Tang dynasty, many poets likened wu wei to the best aspects of being drunk. It wasn’t alcoholism they were promoting, but the decline in rigidity and anxiety that sometimes comes with being a little drunk, and which can help us to accomplish certain tasks. One poet compared someone inspired by wu wei to a drunk man who falls uninjured from a moving cart – such is their spiritual momentum that they are unaffected by accidents and misfortunes that might break those of a more controlled and controlling mindset. Theories of painting from the Tang period onwards made wu wei central to artistic practice. Rather than laboriously attempting to reproduce nature faithfully, the artist should find nature within themselves and surrender to its calls. The painter’s task is not to imitate the external surface of things, but to present the qior ‘spirit’ of things like mountains, trees, birds and rivers by feeling some of this spirit in themselves – and then letting it flow out through the brush onto silk or paper. It followed that Daoist thinkers revered not just the finished work of art, but the act of painting itself – and considered artist’s studios as places of applied philosophy. The Tang dynasty poet, Fu Zai, described a big party that had been thrown to witness the painter Zhang Zao in action: Right in the middle of the room he sat down with his legs spread out, took a deep breath, and his inspiration began to issue forth. Those present were as startled as if lightning were shooting across Right in the middle of the room he sat down with his legs spread out, took a deep breath, and his inspiration began to issue forth. Those present were as startled as if lightning were shooting across the heavens or a whirlwind was sweeping up into the sky. The ink seemed to spitting from his flying brush. He clapped his hands with a cracking sound. Suddenly strange shapes were born. When he had finished, there stood pine trees, scaly and riven, crags steep and precipitous, clear water and turbulent clouds. He threw down his brush, got up, and looked around in every direction. It seemed as if the sky had cleared after a storm, to reveal the true essence of ten thousand things. Fu Zai added of Zhang (whose works are sadly now lost) that, ‘he had left mere skill behind’ and that his art ‘was not painting, but the very Dao itself’. Zhang Zao would often fling his ink and spread it with his hands on a silk scroll, to create spontaneous forms that he then worked up into expressive images of nature. Splodges were incorporated and ingeniously made to flow back into the work. All this was wu wei. A good life could not be attained by wu wei alone – but this Daoist concept captures a distinctive wisdom we may at times be in desperate need of, when we are in danger of damaging ourselves through an overly stern and unyielding adherence to ideas which simply cannot fit the demands of the world as it is.

What does Daoism (Taoism) teach us about ecology? Four main principles of Daoism guide the relationship between humanity and nature: 1. Follow the Earth The Dao De Jing says: 'Humanity follows the Earth, the Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows what is natural.' Daoists therefore obey the Earth. The Earth respects Heaven, Heaven abides by the Dao, and the Dao follows the natural course of everything. Humans should help everything grow according to its own way. We should cultivate the way of no-action and let nature be itself. 2. Harmony with nature In Daoism, everything is composed of two opposite forces known as Yin and Yang. The two forces are in constant struggle within everything. When they reach harmony, the energy of life is created. Someone who understands this point will not exploit nature, but will treat it well and learn from it. It is obvious that in the long run, the excessive use of nature will bring about disaster, even the extinction of humanity. 3. Too much success If the pursuit of development runs counter to the harmony and balance of nature, even if it is of great immediate interest and profit, people should restrain themselves from it. Insatiable human desire will lead to the over-exploitation of natural resources. To be too successful is to be on the path to defeat. 4. Affluence in bio-diversity Daoism has a unique sense of value in that it judges affluence by the number of different species. If all things in the universe grow well, then a society is a community of affluence. If not, this kingdom is on the decline. This view encourages both government and people to take good care of nature. This thought is a special contribution by Daoism to the conservation of nature. Daoism origins Ancient roots Daoism can be traced back to Shamanism, which spread into Mongolia and China at least ten thousand years ago. Two mythological figures from those early days are the divine brother and sister Fu Hsi and Nu Kua. Together they created human progeny and created all aspects of civilization, such as writing, agriculture, medicine and astrology. They were the first two of the Three August Ones of Chinese mythology. Later came the Yellow Emperor, bringer of order and the first recorded ruler. Legend puts his rule around 2500 BC. He is revered as the one who introduced divine knowledge into human society, especially the arts of medicine. Formal beginnings The influence of the Shamans in ancient China waned from the beginning of the first millennium BCE. During this period the great Lao Zi is supposed to have lived, and written the Dao De Jing (Tao Te-Ching), the most important book of Daoist wisdom. Daoism was formally established as a religion under the East Han dynasty, about 2,000 years ago. Since then Daoism has been one of the main components of Chinese culture, and has exerted great influence on the Chinese way of thinking, working and acting. The five religions of China Daoism is one of the five recognised religions of China – the other four are Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism and Islam. Now the influence of Daoism has spread beyond the Chinese-speaking world to attract international interest. What do Daoists believe? Dao: the way The heart of the very earliest Chinese vision of the cosmos is the Dao, the origin of all. Dao means ‘the way’. The Dao is the origin of everything and the ultimate aim of all Daoists. The Dao is Heaven, Earth and Humanity. The Dao cannot be defined because it exists beyond all forms. In the words of the great Daoist sage, Lao Zi: ‘That which can be named is not the true Dao’. The Dao teaches wu-wei, the way of no-action and no-selfishness. This means to live in a plain and modest way and not to struggle for material gain. The value of life Daoism regards life as the most valuable thing and pursues immortality. Life can be prolonged through meditation and exercise. People should train their will, discard selfishness, and seek to be a model of virtue. With high moral sense and good exercise, one can maintain energy throughout one’s life. To achieve this, Daoism stresses the need for a peaceful and harmonious environment as a very important external condition. Yin and Yang The process by which the Dao gave rise to reality is defined in the classic text, Dao-De Jing, as follows: ‘The Tao gives birth to the One. The One gives birth to the Two. The Two gives birth to the Three. The Three give birth to the Ten Thousand.’ These words describe how the Tao, the essence of all, gives birth to Nature—the One—which in turn gives birth to Yin and Yang—the Two. Yin is female, moist, cold, the moon, autumn and winter, shadows and waters. Yang is male, dry, hot, the sun, spring and summer, brightness and earth. From the perpetual striving of Yin and Yang arises the Three—Heaven, Earth and Humanity. Humanity must try to balance the opposites of Heaven and Earth.

Taoism I. Definition Taoism (or Daoism) is one of the main strands of traditional Chinese philosophy. It gets its name from the idea of the Dao, which means “the way,” which is the reality beyond human perception, a reality that Taoists strongly associate with the natural world. For Taoists, the ultimate goal of human life is to understand this reality and learn to live in harmony with it. One of the main beliefs of Taoism is wu-wei, or “not doing.” Taoists believe that the path to wisdom and happiness involves emptying the mind and settling into a deep stillness. Like Buddhists and Hindus, Taoists practice intensive spiritual meditation as a method for understanding the world and living a better life. Taoism is strongly associated with the yin-yang sign, which symbolizes the Taoist belief in matched opposites: light and dark, hot and cold, wet and dry, masculine and feminine. However, the real point of a yin-yang symbol isn’t just the black and white halves – it’s also the fact that each half contains part of the other! The black side has some white in it, and the white side has some black. This is a central belief in Taoism: that even though the world is made up of matched opposites, it’s not a simple matter of “this vs. that.” Moreover, there is no ethical dimension here: light is not “better” than dark just as summer is not “better” than winter; they are just different. In Taoism, good and evil are illusions. “A bowl is most useful when it is empty.” (Laozi) This is one of the most famous lines from the Dao De Ching or Tao Te Ching, (see section 7). Like many of the lines from this book, it uses a simple image from everyday life – something everyone can relate to. But its philosophical message is profound, and not easy to understand if all you do is look at it on a page. Instead, you have to live this idea. In everyday life, try to be an empty bowl, and over time you may come to understand the wisdom of the idea.

9 cosmic characters A total of 15

Two tarots The Primordial frog and Primordial Wigeon Also when the primordial conditions we can still have a black sheep represented by the primordial newt. And vice versa. We can have a great heroic person with integrity born in bad circumstances that still don't drive him to evil despite temptations. That being represented by the primordial Great Blue Heron. Along with these is the new cosmic character which combines the powers of all of them both good and bad. It can bring paradise or annihilation. Its called the hoome. It's the overseer of everything in the universe. Nothing ever escapes it. Although it leans to God and would never do what God doesn't want, it is a super God that manages perfect order even amidst chaos. Hoome is well aware of everything. It's wise strong but neutral not necessarily empathetic. It's like a judge. It's the hand of fate. Represented by the pheasant bird. Now 12 cosmic characters and 1 super cosmic character. And there is droot. Droot is the worker of hoome. It symbolizes love for you, extreme loyalty, self love, self healing. Auto suggestion. This is the caterer or server or services you. Another form of the caregiver is symbolized by the dragon as the twin flame guardian. Called dragon. This is a bit different than droot. It's more of a savior role. Rescues you from any kind of harm. Like a true guardian keeps a watch on you and cares for you immensely.

Satan is not an actual birther of evil just a symbolic representation of evil intent and actions. Evil really is the absence of good, God that is Godlessness. Thus evil is not a presence of some special entity that good needs to fight in the battle of Armageddon. What's the opposite of health. Disease. What's the outcome of disease. Decay. Evil is the opposite of health and therefore its outcome is decay and chaos. However not everyone succumbs to evil. This is where strength of character comes into picture. People who are righteous and courageous do not succumb to evil shadows even in the absence of good. They remain strong and unperturbed. They can be directly in the presence of evil and still do good. Their conscience is healthy and strong it affords them immunity from disease. However those of a weaker will and a weaker conscience easily fall susceptible to the disease of evil. Thus courage and righteousness and strength of both mind emotion and spirit fortify the mind against evil. People who remain true to their principles cannot be broken. They can't be changed. They can't be made evil. They show great resistance. So not only do you need good company and good healthy environment to emerge as good in the primordial but you need a long shot of fortification to keep the good running strong and untempted. The primordial is where the key to good and evil lies. How is your basic thinking structure shaped. This is the primordial. This is where Ideas and conditions take birth. Under the right conditions the right thing is born. It's no coincidence but a matter of carefully picked conditions. When all conditions are met, you have an ideal birth, and the primordial then gives birth to something wonderful and fantastically brilliant and strong. In the absence of those conditions it gives birth to damaged frogs. I use frog as a metaphor to describe a defunct person who is unhealthy and evil and is born in a dirty pond. The pond representing the primordial birthing place. A dirty pond gives birth to a frog. However a beautiful pond is a beautiful place. It gives birth to a . Thus the Satan was born as a frog. Metaphorically. And the good was born in a clean beautiful pond as a Wigeon duck that grew into a Swan whereas the frog grew into a vulture. This means being good is a lot of hard work and being evil is much easier.

It is rightly said that in order for evil to succeed good people shouldn't do anything at all. So what is exactly evil and how should it be perceived. Evil is a shadow of the conscience. A betrayal. A thought. A belief. An intent. It emerges in the primordial state and takes root in the absence of morality and lack of empathy and survives with the help of enabling traits. It's a disease. A disease of fakeness. Of delusions and material success. Of sadistic pleasure. Evil is not immune to punishment. It's a false belief that evil believes in its narcissistic container. It believes it is safe as long as it has this handle. Once someone told me that evil collapses under its own weight. When the pot of evil is full it begins to overflow. Evil has an addictive nature because of the dopamine effect it triggers in sociopaths. Thus by the rules of Ma'at evil is already given alll the nicest accompaniments that will soon cause its own demise. Sooner or later evil becomes fatal to itself. It then carves a path towards self destruction and chaos and disintegrates in its own private hell. But where does evil come from. And is evil really a disease. Evil is a collective reflection of a defunct society. A healthy society doesn't breed evil. Evil is not just a person's responsibility but also a reflection of social failure. Where there is empathy evil cannot exist. Evil becomes a survival mechanism in a system riddled with lack of love and deprivation and lack of faith. This is where it takes root. It's an alternative survival mechanism like a crutch. It helps to live where living generously is impossible.. So in the absence of healthy environment unhealthy habits crop up. It's very much like a disease. When you take out the healthy conditions of living, unhealthy Manifestations or diseases crop up. For example if a teenager had healthy ways to cope with things and dispense their time and use their mind and potential they would be less likely to engage in unhealthy habits. Whereas in an environment of lack of guidance and assistance and love, most teenagers would resort to unhealthy foods and unhealthy forms of love and relationships and unhealthy habits of recreation simply because they haven't been taught the healthier alternative. In essence they have been marginalized and deprived. The human nature finds unhealthy ways where healthy doesn't exist. If there are no healthy ways to reflect pain and stress then a person resorts to comfort eating to get comfort. Thus it's easy to see that human nature is inclined to pick anything that suits its needs even the unhealthy things especially in the absence of healthy alternatives. Thus evil is a matter of choice. Over time it gets ingrained and validated and justified in the shadow of accompanying traits. Thus evil is born But in the company of the good, evil cannot take form or birth. Thus evil is not a dragon that we need to kill. It's only a symptom of a lack. It's not a pest or it would have already consumed the world. For evil to perish or not take root, there should be more good. The more good people, the less evil.

Thus evil needs false courage as a handle. Evil also needs selfishness, greed, duping delight and sadistic pleasure for its dopamine network Thus narcissism, delight, sadistic pleasure selfishness, greed all make a perfect combo for evil to reside and grow and not only find a justification but also a healthy outlet for its discharge. Evil really comes from predatory instincts. Evil is the succubus. Because in order to thrive it takes in components of social desirability to make itself validated. Thus evil people are more inclined to inherit power and get power and control and become socially more desirable in order to gain more power and control. Their sense of power is based on false narratives of social acceptance and validation. That's why a lot of powerful people are evil and also use wealth and power to flaunt their desirability to look even better and more successful than masses. They would even go far to achieve physical desirability in order to gain appeal and favor. This is also a part of their narcissistic hunger to justify their evil shadow in their minds. It's a part of their guilt complex. They justify their purpose to live and exploit on the basis of their desirability. They imagine themselves as necessary for social growth and see others as rejects. They think they are coveted for their skills and looks and status and therefore whatever shadows they have can be easily let go or forgiven in lieu of their attractive package. They are a symbol of success in their own eyes, failure has no room, lack of desirability is fatal. They can't imagine not having success because that would mean no longer deserving to live especially with their evil nature. They want to feel deserving and accepted and coddled. They rely on fake love. However a good person sees every reason to live. Because deep down no matter how unsuccessful they are they always know that whatever they do will be for a good reason hence they inherently view themselves as a reflection of God's nature on earth and their lives as a reward and a debt to society and also as a service to society. Hence they are always trying to prove their worth through their actions since they don't think that worth comes from looks or success as they feel the adulation is fake. They are always in search of real unconditional love. Evil people don't need it that's why don't seek it. Good people might even abdicate social status being tired of the fake love.

Continued Otherwise it's just that. So a few catholic priests defaming the church with their actions should not bring a bad name to a religion which may be otherwise helpful in establishing morality. Of course morality can always precede religion. But it's not always like that. Lot of the morality is preserved due to religious indoctrination and the fear of God unless the person is deeply empathetic or spiritual. But if not then they need a baton a religious one. Most get controlled but some don't. They need jail. But sometimes even that doesn't work. The vile nature is not scared of anything. Now I understand why religion needed to invent a system where God is a creator a power and a judge and punisher. Evil looks powerful because generally it runs side by side with narcissism. Narcissism is its handle. Without the handle you can't lower the teapot to pour since it would be too hot to touch. This means that narcissism acts as a safety handle for evil. Without it evil can easily collapse under the weight of fear, shame, guilt, uncertainty and lack of defense. Narcissism is like alcohol, it gives false courage to evil So the person not only feels justified in what he does, he can easily see people as dimwits for being kind and innocent and see himself as superior and thus reject their judgement or concerns and also neglect his own conscience. Narcissists never believe others and believe that only they know the answers to everything. They believe that only they can be better than everyone. They are massively deluded in their beliefs. Some narcissists can go as far as thinking that they will eventually win and will not get caught for their destruction and also wiggle their way out and manipulate people and never get in trouble. I have called it the Charles Manson syndrome as mentioned many times before in which a person is deluded enough to reject reality and believe they got special powers and no harm would come to them and nothing can ever go wrong with their plan, they don't have an iota of self doubt even if reality says otherwise they don't bother to pay heed. A narcissist won't believe even if shown actual proof of disagreement. But this quality is a wonderful container to ship evil. It has all the trappings of a trait that completely inhibits a person's capacity to feel empathy, guilt, fear, self doubt or rationale.

So now the final part of my spiritual framework building was focused on the concept of evil. I learned a lot. I no longer see evil as people. Although I do believe that anyone person showing evil tendencies need to be kept away. I might appear self contradictory at times but that helps to come to a clearer view. I have to sift through the maze and finally coming to something more specific and purposeful. So yes I have sympathized with evil people before saying how their dysfunctional childhoods might be a causative factor in the process however after some careful contemplation and especially after the concept of distinct communities of good and evil people I have come to the realization that it's not very easy to rehabilitate evil people. It won't happen. Maybe some change. Such a process is already arduous. On top of that the outcome is not guaranteed. So best if such people are just avoided. Nothing much can be done to either save or change them. They will continue causing harm even when given love and support and encouragement to do good, it seems they will betray and go back to their cunning wicked behavior. So on the subject of evil my perspectives are rapidly changing. I kept the best for the last. I had to focus deeply on the subject of evil and it wasn't easy. I had to keep fine tuning. So this is what I think about evil. That evil can be used as a tool and it can also be an intent. When used as a tool it is neutral and cannot be judged because as a tool it can be used for both good and bad. Like self defense or invasion and defeat of the enemy or defeat of the bad ones. It can be used for bad like abusing an innocent person out of jealousy However much of the evil is used to target destroy the other person So really it's the intent of the person when they do certain actions. If the intent is bad, the actions are also going to be hurtful and damaging. Now coming to people with bad intentions. These are obviously evil people. Intent is really the source. One needs to examine evil as an intention rather than as a tool. The motive is important. When we realize that the intent is evil we know it's a bad person. If it's a bad person or evil person the best thing to do is to keep that person away and not let that person ruin anything. Evil as a tool can be however used for both good and bad. Therefore as a tool it need not be judged. But as an intent is what makes all the difference. As an intent an evil person will always use evil as a tool only for evil purposes. And so such people cannot be reasoned with if they think they are better than others. Therefore such people need to be kept away and completely avoided. Once the problem of evil has been understood and dealt with what's the next thing. Spirituality really comes to an end. From a spiritual perspective nothing is really evil. It is either destructive or non destructive. From a spiritual perspective it is only a lack or deprivation of empathy. People with empathy will not do evil. Impossible. People without empathy will be either indifferent or try to purposely harm for pleasure. This lack of empathy is sociopathy and narcissism. An inherent feeling of control and domination and superiority combined with the sadistic delight in seeing another suffer and making a gain by outsmarting the victim what we call duping delight. Such people have a bent of mind and easily see people as targets rather than seekers of help. What can we do. Empathy training. Essentially and spiritually speaking the more I dive into the subject of evil, I don't see a big Satan sitting there commanding his troops to terrorize people and make them miserable. I see sociopathic thugs with an extreme uncouth need for control and power. So the question arises, is evil only a reflection of a different facet of our mind or shadow that most people won't dive into. But some people travel that side and feel comfortable and elated with it. It signals their dopamine and gives them feelings of happiness. I am feeling now that evil is a reaction or a manifestation even if it is projected as an intent. That all things are manifestations of either health or disease. If something is good in its primordial state and follows Ma'at then it manifests as good. If something is defective in the primordial state then it obviously comes out as defective. Even the intentions of such a defective source will also be defective. Such a source cannot suddenly become good and healthy. So it narrows down to this. Evil is really a phenomenon a manifestation an after effect as a symptom of an underlying disease in the source. And this source belongs to the person and the society in which the person is born. This source is diseased. It is not healthy. It is against Ma'at. It may be smart enough to be surviving but it is still parasitic. It is not spiritual. But hollow. It cannot heal. It can only conquer acquire and get selfish and prudent in acquisitions but not prudent enough to see the big picture. A society that doesn't train people to be empathetic gives rise to evil sociopaths. It really is a failing or failure of the society. And evil is a symtom of this failure. The individuals who express this symptom are a pawn or a symbol of this symptom. They thrive and grow in conditions of lack of empathy and they learn to survive and essentially are programmed right at the beginning that bad behavior is normal as long as it benefits personal goals. So evil is really a disease of a failing society that doesn't have enough empathy. People as a collective pass down their energies to each other and to their children or next generations. Thus they pass the seed. This seed develops in conditions where it ripens because of lack of responsibility discipline empathy and understanding and gets replaced with craftiness and crude selfishness and cheap greed and this then manifests as evil over time. Also it suggests that evil could be basal. Which means it could be a reptilian part of human nature and in its unevolved uncivilized state is free from remorse. This means that maybe upon training of these tendencies and civilizing the person this tendency can be controlled. This is where humanity gets separated from the animal. This is easily logical. Societies that have lower levels of education show higher levels of sociopathy. Society with higher levels of morality, religious control and education tend to exhibit lower levels of sociopathy. This means that with higher consciousness the tendency to be evil will progressively decline and the tendency to be nurturing and empathetic will progressively increase. However there are always exceptions. And exceptions should never be used to defeat logic unless there is reason to believe that these exceptions are way higher in numbers enough to change and warrant a revaluation of the system. Like I did with the family concept.

Much of the spiritual philosophy is coming to an end gradually this is the last week. Some more and the conceptual spiritual framework will be complete. Cosmic character tarot cards will be used for guidance Crafting elements are very important. I'll be learning daoism. My focus gets distracted by a lot of different things. I need to cut down on them I need to focus on my health rigorously. I have to make a bunch of tarot cards to keep a good focus.

I got important stuff to do
