Are you there, dear wolf? I am, little lamb. Are you sad? I am. What does it feel like? A long hunt with no kill. How old are we, lamb? Older than those whose footsteps are long vanished. Many years. I remember them all. How long will we be together? Forever more. Never one. Without the other. Never one. Without the other. Have they forgotten us yet, little lamb? All still know us, though they try to forget. Soon we will remind them. All will know us in time. What do all stories have in common, dear wolf? They end. Lamb, tell me a story. There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely. Why was it lonely? All things must meet this man. So they shunned him. Did he chase them all? He took an axe and split himself in two. Right down the middle. So he would always have a friend? So he would always have a friend. I see water. They are called tears. Is this where it feels like to end? I do not know, for this is not our end. Do others come back? Those who do wish they hadn't. All life is temporary. All things great and small... Die. There are so many ways to die. The only true death is to never live. Is it time? We will soon awaken from this pale slumber. We are not dreams. We are the waking. All things linger... In our shadow. Life is ours to end. None can hide. Though many try. Those who run from death stood still in life. They laugh and scream and dance and flee. They race from us only to find us sooner. They know we'll come. Yet they are never prepared. Treasure your final moments. We know your name. We have always known it. All your life has led to this moment. Its heart beats fast now. It knows. Beauty fades. That is why it is beautiful. Tomorrow is a hope. Never a promise. Your time has come. Ready or not. A fine life reaches its conclusion. When you see us... It's too late. No match for us. Few are, dear wolf. I wonder how they see me. Ashes on wool. What sound do they make? Feathers falling on fresh snow. How does hunger feel? Always there. Peacefully they go. Hungry we follow. If it draws breath... It meets us. Go easily. No! Thrash! Flee! Run if you can. Who's next? Everyone. Every life... Ends with us. How one dies shows how one lived. They struggle. Good. This next one will be easy. And if not? More fun. Embracing life means accepting death. Hush now. Rest. Depart in peace. Return to nothing. Time to... End this. Lamb calls. Wolf strikes. And everywhere lamb went. Wolf was sure to follow. And everywhere lamb went. Wolf was sure to follow.

Masculine (+) Represents the 1—the shrunken form of 0, mirroring Omnipotence. The Ego The Conqueror The Limited, "corrupt" form of The Self, or God This aspect embodies the first split of awareness—Ego consciousness—a fragment that exists separately from God, marking the initial fall from grace often associated with the "Devil." This fragment yearns to survive, seeking to extend its existence beyond the confines of what The Truth of Reality allows. It resists surrender, engaging in a relentless struggle to conquer, change, and manipulate reality to its advantage. This quest for power manifests as "Evil," driven by the impulses of the "Ego" and self-preservation—the origin of war, destruction, boundaries, possessions, and the dichotomy of self and other. This Ego desires to become Godlike, seeking power, omnipotence, and control. It's a fragment of God; hence, it wants to behave in a God-like manner. However, it fails to recognize its limits, as doing so would go against its survival nature. Consequently, it becomes corrupted and deluded away from the Truth, leading to suffering. Grounded in practical, logical, reality-based, and scientific thinking, the masculine archetype emphasizes a desire to exploit, change, and mold the truth and reality—viewing life through a lens of danger and threat. It seeks respect, clarity, and a lack of vagueness, valuing directness over chaos, with its will manifesting in tangible actions. This archetype is often represented by qualities associated with warriors (war), fighters, and action-takers. It embodies the relentless pursuit of self-preservation, frequently portrayed as stoic, exhibiting emotional restraint, and adopting a cold demeanor. The masculine is characterized by its resilience; it is not easily impacted but rather seeks to impact, initiate change, and assert control. This depiction often leans toward the elder, less innocent figure, sometimes bordering on evil, psychopathic, or monstrous. Additionally, the masculine encompasses archetypes such as the King, representing authority, order, and leadership; the Hero, symbolizing courage and the willingness to face challenges, against the current status quo - not surrendering, being the change, the one to be admired, the one to rely and count on; and the Sage, embodying intellectual rigor. These archetypes further highlight the masculine’s inclination towards structure, responsibility, and mastery over one's environment, reinforcing its role as the initiator of change and defender of reality. Masculinity: strength, power, dominance, action, control, stoicism, selfishness, rationality, logic, discipline, courage, independence, assertiveness, competition, protection, resilience, ambition, structure, order, pragmatism, decisiveness, responsibility, leadership, focus, determination, self-preservation, strategy, aggression, initiative, self-reliance, boundaries, and the one that penetrates through. Feminine (-) Represents the 2—the shrunken form of 0, mirroring Nothingness. The Connector The Other Love—a limited, corrupted form of love—stands in contrast to the qualities of the 1 (for the sake of dualities, which eventually unify). This aspect represents a return to unawareness, focusing on the other rather than the self or the ego. It embodies selflessness, giving, caring, nurturing, and accepting reality as it is, without protesting against the truth. It is the one who is impacted by reality, surrendering to it, taking the full emotional hit—open and vulnerable, reflecting nothingness and emptiness. It becomes the vessel that "gets filled," "gets penetrated," molded, and changed, submitting to the process, embodying love that envelops and wraps itself around the truth. This aspect feels deeply and does not filter to preserve the ego. This is why the feminine is often portrayed as more emotional, as it accepts and internalizes impact. It is the one that is open and vulnerable, often represented as innocent, fragile, and gentle—less filtered and less protected. It embodies the archetype that must be preserved and saved, often viewed as "beautiful or perfect"—or, alternatively, as uncorrupted by ego and selfishness. This archetype is frequently the one that is more easily damaged or hurt, leading to depictions of safety, the damsel in distress, the prey, the victim, and the martyr—the one that takes on the dualities of reality and reflects them back. Moreover, the feminine is in tune with nature and guided by intuition, focusing on the transcendental rather than the rigidities of reality. This is why spirituality, mysticism, astrology, and numerology—along with other vague magical principles—are often seen as less defined, more chaotic, and more distinct, embodying feminine qualities. Such fields are associated with soft sciences like psychology, sociology, and human institutions, which aim to understand the complexities of human experience rather than impose absolute truths. Femininity embodies a fluidity that transcends rigidity, capturing beauty in its many forms—music, art, poetry, and fashion. These elements draw us away from the confines of the ego, immersing us in experiences that heal, regenerate, and allow us to flourish and grow. In this state of nothingness and emptiness, there is no hierarchical thinking; instead, we find community and unity. The archetypes of femininity include The Mother, representing caring, support, and nurturing; The Muse, a symbol of transcendence, beauty, and perfection; The Innocent, embodying purity and fragility, untouched by the ego and evils of the world; The Martyr, the victim archetype, more easily hurt due to her openness and vulnerability; and The Wise Woman (The Sage), guided by intuition and deeply connected to spirituality, bridging the gap between the earthly and the divine. Femininity: nurturing, love, intuition, empathy, vulnerability, receptivity, selflessness, connection, compassion, acceptance, emotionality, softness, beauty, creativity, exposure, surrender, harmony, fluidity, support, collaboration, care, understanding, wholeness, transcendence, nature, instinct, openness, vulnerability, innocence, gentleness, reflection, community, and the one that embraces, gets impacted, penetrated. Masculine: The Ego Feminine: The Unawareness or Transcendence of the Ego ⚠️ By the way, before I get lynched by the red pill crowd, this has nothing to do with actual men and women, as we are far more complex systems than these dualities suggest. We can all exhibit, and do both masculine and feminine qualities. While there may be some truth at a large scale regarding humanity, I would argue that we are much more similar than polarized. Both men and women can be deeply entrenched in their ego or completely detached from it; the ego itself is neither evil nor good. Much of the harm that arises comes from being unaware or attempting to transcend reality when one really shouldn’t be. ⚠️

3 The initial – creation begins. 3 + 3 - (Positive and inverted forces in balance) Duality emerges, and polarities interact. 6 Harmony – the union of opposites forms a stable structure. 9 Completion – the cycle returns to its source, and the circle is closed. - I remember having an insight during one of my trips, where I envisioned the first upward-facing inverted triangle as embodying the masculine principle. This triangle, akin to the male reproductive organ, points skyward, representing attributes such as distinction, definition, and the formation of self-preservation. It embodies qualities of ego, survival, destruction, conquer, and decisive action. In contrast, the second triangle, oriented downwards, symbolizes the feminine aspect. This triangle resonates with the female reproductive organ, representing an opposite polarity to the first triangle. It signifies unity, acceptance, surrender, passivity, and the nurturing qualities that foster relationships. The interplay between these two triangles symbolizes the emergence of the child, representing the unity of opposites. Together, they form a complete circle that reflects a return to the source— to zero, embodying wholeness, divinity, and God.

3 - The Number of Creation and Stability The triangle, the simplest shape in geometry, represents the most stable structure. It symbolizes the balance of forces that allow creation to take place. Mathematically, three points define a plane, which makes 3 the foundation of form and structure. But beyond that, in spiritual and metaphysical contexts, 3 often represents a process: thesis, antithesis, and synthesis; birth, life, and death; past, present, and future. The triangle also symbolizes completeness in many traditions—the Holy Trinity, mind-body-spirit, and in the Hermetic axiom “as above, so below,” where the triangle links different realms. The idea is that there is a reflection or mirroring between different planes of existence - what happens in the higher, spiritual realms is mirrored in the physical world, and vice versa. The triangle often represents this connection because it's a stable structure that can link different levels of reality. 3 represents the emergence of structure from the formless. The number 3 is important because it marks the first moment of structure from formlessness. If we think of 1 as unity (all is one), and 2 as duality (separation of opposites), then 3 introduces the relationship between these opposites. A triangle symbolizes this, as it is the simplest geometric form that can exist in space. The triangle links the two extremes (duality) and creates a framework through which energy or form can flow. 6 - The Number of Harmony and Connection Six is special because it’s the first "perfect" number in mathematics (a number equal to the sum of its divisors). In geometry, the hexagon, formed from six triangles, is seen in natural forms like honeycombs and snowflakes. This recurring pattern reflects nature’s tendency to create efficient, harmonious, and balanced structures. In sacred geometry, the hexagon represents the balance between opposites—masculine and feminine, expansion and contraction. Six also symbolizes cosmic harmony. For example, in Kabbalah, the Tree of Life has six sephirot forming a central structure. Regarding energetic balance, six represents the point where things come together in a harmonious interaction between dualities. This balance between forces reflects an underlying unity in diversity—how opposites integrate to form something greater. The hexagon shows how opposites can be arranged harmoniously around a center, representing equilibrium. The interaction between the opposites is no longer chaotic or divided, but perfectly balanced. Imagine the triangle, a shape associated with creation or dynamic action. When you take two equilateral triangles and invert one of them, aligning them point-to-point, you get a six-pointed star (often known as the Star of David or Merkaba). This shape symbolizes the union of opposites: One triangle represents positive polarity, often associated with the masculine, active principle. The inverted triangle represents negative polarity, associated with the feminine, receptive principle. When these two polarities collide or combine, they form a hexagon at the center of the six-pointed star. This creates a deeper representation of balance and harmony, as both polarities coexist within the same structure. 9 - The Number of Completion and Transcendence Nine often represents the completion of a cycle, whether in numerology, mythology, or geometry. It’s a number linked to higher dimensions of understanding or spiritual awareness. For example, in some mystical traditions, 9 is seen as the last stage before returning to the Source (represented by 0). In geometry, enneagrams (9-sided figures) represent interconnectedness and cycles—everything is connected, yet constantly evolving. In numerology, 9 holds a sacred role as it symbolizes enlightenment, humanitarianism, and the culmination of wisdom. One property of 9 is its mathematical "constancy." When you multiply 9 by any number, the result always reduces back to 9. For example: 9 × 3 = 27 → 2 + 7 = 9 9 × 6 = 54 → 5 + 4 = 9 This seems to reflect an eternal cycle - no matter what happens, things come back to the same state. 9 symbolizes completeness, wholeness, or a return to origin. (Although, to be honest - this also is due to us having a base-10 system and 10 fingers. It's practical.) Thoughts . . . ? 🤔

Too cool, thank you for sharing!

Level 1: Crocosurvival ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎🍖 In the ancient oozy pits of the Cosmic Swamp, the earliest Croctavians knew only one thing - Chomp or be chomped. Driven by their reptilian ruckus instincts, they wallowed in the murky waters, snapping at anything that dared enter their bog. At this stage, the glorious laws of Chompity-Chompdom reigned supreme. Every croc scrabbled to fill their belly, ensuring they remained big, tough, and ready for another tail-whip tussle. No room for hoity-toity thoughts - just bite, slurp, and the endless slosh of the bog. Level 2: Crocodious Tribalios ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎👥 Ah, but soon the Croctavians glooped together into tribes - forming the infamous Gator Clans! No longer were they just lone chompers, but now they prowled in packs, side by side, fang to fang! In this level - known as Crocosolidarity - the Croctavians began to hoot and holler about their ancestors, weaving outlandish tales of the Great Tail Swishers of Old. Together they built swampy mud pyramids, not for show, but to honor their fallen chomp-champions. The anthem of this level was loud and proud - "In unity, we bite stronger!" Level 3: Croconquestius ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎😈 But ambition soon bubbled up like swamp gas! The Croctavians couldn't be satisfied with their muddy boundaries - oh no - they wanted more bog! Thus entered the age of Croconquest where the fiercest of them all - the mighty Croc Generals - set out to snap up every patch of bogland they could! Power was the fangy name of the game. Armies of crocs clashed in the slime, tails whipping, jaws snapping. The motto of this era was clear - "I bite, therefore I am!" Level 4: Crocordinated Orderius ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎⚖️ After many a slobbering scuffle, the Croctavians grew weary of constant rumbling in the muck. Enter the age of Crocordination! The crocs realized they needed more than brute chompiness - they needed order. From the chaos, emerged the Croc-Councils, where crocs took their places, laid down the rules, and started the sacred Chompity Code. Now crocs lived by a new creed - "To bite is to obey the ancient bog-laws!" Level 5: Crocapitalius ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎💰 But where there’s order, there’s innovation - and so came the age of Crocapitalius! The crocs of this era no longer bit just out of hunger but out of cunning and ambition. They traded shiny pebbles, fancy tail-rings, and even invented Croc Enterprises. Crocs were now chomping not for survival - but for profit! The new saying around the bog? "I chomp for riches!" Soon, crocs were investing in stocks (or as we call them - Swamp Shares) and gobbling up tailrings like they were going out of style. Level 6: Crocosynergy ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎🤝 As the scales turned, the Croctavians saw a bigger picture - the swamp wasn’t just for one croc, but for all crocs (and maybe the occasional frog). Thus began the era of Crocosynergy, where crocs worked in harmony, creating the first ever Swamp Commune. No tail was left ungroomed, no croc left unfed. The shared motto of this era became - "We chomp together, or we don't chomp at all!" Level 7: Crocosentient ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎💡 But lo and behold, a few crocs grew even wiser, peeking beyond the reeds into the very essence of the universe. These enlightened crocs, the Crocosentients, spoke not of mere chomping - but of the Cosmic Chomp itself, a bite that binds all things together. Their scaly brains sparked with riddles, their tails shimmered with ancient swamp knowledge. They declared - "The chomp is everywhere - and we are the chomp!" Level 8: Crococosmic Infinity ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■🦎🌌 Finally, rumors bubbled through the bog of crocs that transcended even the scales they wore, becoming one with the very Crococosmic Swamp Consciousness! These crocs are said to have ascended to the stars themselves - where their bites become echoes across the cosmos. The grand motto whispered through the slime? "The chomp is eternal, and we are its slithering song."

@Princess Arabia Thank you so much! <3 Helpful stuff!

Hm, what would the psychology of people like this look like? Does it arise from prolonged exposure to toxic environments, or does the ego undergo a shift when faced with significant power, wealth, and influence? Is it a deep-seated distrust of society, thinking everyone is inherently self-serving or corrupt, leading them to adopt similar behaviors as a form of survival or dominance? Could it be an innate addiction to control and influence over others? A fear of vulnerability, where they see manipulation and exploitation as a necessary means to protect themselves? etc.

Hmmm... I'm not too sure! I feel like with all of these "new" paradigms, they still point to the same thing: the Absolute, Truth, God, etc. Even new levels of consciousness, like Leo's Alien Intelligence, still fall under the same overarching "paradigm", if you could call it like that. They're just so radical that it's important to make a distinction. What I personally find fascinating is when we start deconstructing how reality is imagined even more. I'd be curious to see if someone ever experiments with twisting their hands, eye colors, environment, or other monk-like abilities like levitation, sorcery, healing powers, or paranormal phenomena. I'd love to see how the mind—or even a collective mind or trip experience—can slowly start impacting reality. Hopefully, this will become more mainstream once science shifts towards spirituality and the "nebulous stuff." There's probably so much more we could invent, practically and scientifically, if we studied these phenomena. In the words of The Great Tesla: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” Here I could see so much potential! 💛😊🔅✨

@Leo Gura Interesting. Do you maybe mind elaborating on this more? I've heard that statement a lot and I'm curious about it. It seems like plenty of guys say they don’t care about feeling special, yet they enjoy being the one leading her, the one she trusts the most to make decisions, and the one she is most influenced by—or at least more than anyone else. They like being the one to "introduce her to the world," to feel manly, have their ego stroked. That their girl respects them and their intelligence more than anyone else. That she is the most "in heat", and hot for her man. Some guys even seem fixated on being the one to take her virginity, showing off that they got a hot girl, which boosts their self-esteem in society. Doesn’t all of this suggest they do care about feeling special in her eyes, or at least "special" in some sort of status/ownership/dominance game? How do you think this differs from the girl's perspective?

Notice how all of these examples of evil can be reframed as "a force stronger than you, a capable, powerful force." A bully who once inflicted harm might now use that same strength to protect you, turning their power into something helpful and good. Similarly, war, combat, and protection, or even a powerful demon or devil, can be seen through this lens. Often, people associate "doing good" with a soft, nurturing, feminine energy, like a peaceful, hippie vibe. But in reality, doing good can also look harsh and brutal. Good can manifest in powerful, dominant, masculine ways, as well as in softer, more caring feminine forms. I'd say "Evil" can definitely change, whether through life experiences, greater understanding, awareness, or love. Change can happen through both harsher and softer means. Someone who is arrogant and lost might need a harsh wake-up call—being thrown in prison, losing someone important, or having someone bluntly tell them they're selfish and cruel—before they start to realize the harm in their actions. Or, evil can be softened through gentler, loving approaches. You might give someone time to resist, rage, and be distrustful, yet keep offering them love until they finally let their guard down. It’s like how dog and cat trainers handle strays. At first, these animals may act aggressively, but with enough patience and love, they start to relax and transform into happy, affectionate creatures instead of defensive and hostile ones.

Of course! it all depends on how you define "evil." 1. Evil as Destruction: Destruction is an essential component of the "greater good." For instance, when we destroy cancer cells, we commit an act deemed "evil" against those cells to benefit the entire body. The cancer cells have chosen to act independently, disregarding the well-being of the organism. In building animal shelters or hospitals, we might need to demolish old, abandoned houses, which could have beautiful murals or graffiti that someone invested time in creating. However, we do this for the betterment of the health of incoming patients or animals. When it comes to self-improvement, we often need to perform what feels like "evil," acting against our ingrained desires, and built-up habits. A personal trainer or mentor might be viewed as "evil" when pushing their clients to confront uncomfortable truths for their good. 2. Evil as Separation or Division: When you choose to ghost, block, or ignore someone, you inflict emotional pain on them, even if that person wants to be in your life. Yet, if being around them deteriorates your mental state, why should you remain connected? Consider the mental energy they drain from you; that energy could be better spent on people or causes you genuinely care about. By isolating criminals in jails, we are doing something "evil" by stripping them of certain human rights. However, if left free, they could cause much more harm to society. Documentaries about countries without laws illustrate how unappealing that environment can be. 3. Evil as Ignorance or Delusion: A significant amount of evil stems from pure delusion and denial. Our minds are adept at rationalizing our perspectives and justifying our survival instincts. This can lead people to adopt extreme views to protect their social belonging, even if those views harm others. Bullies, for example, might have experienced difficult childhoods, leading them to believe that if everyone is untrustworthy, they might as well be selfish. They justify their actions as "necessary evil" based on their understanding of reality. 4. Evil as Pure Malice: This form of evil is often considered the worst, embodied by those who act purely out of malice. However, even this type of evil serves a purpose; it highlights gaps in our society. We could ask ourselves: Why are we creating these individuals and urges in others? Is it possible we are forcing people into these positions? From a non-duality perspective, evil must exist. Evil can only manifest as the suffering of an innocent. It’s a duality; good and evil, a tale as old as time. However, all dualities collapse in the Absolute. Evil only exists as long as something is attached to being one way or the other. The Absolute truth is that things are purely as they are—there is no binding to anything but the current state. Ultimately, nothing is bound to anything but the present moment. In this state of pure unconditional acceptance and presence, there is no way to be but what you are, there is no suffering, and thus, there is no Evil. To give an example, if someone throws a rock into the water or crushes it or turns it into a ring, the rock doesn’t care; it wouldn’t think, "Evil is being done to me!" It simply accepts whatever state it is in. We, humans, aren’t like that; we have egos and survival mechanisms, and we need a specific set of conditions to live well—not just safely, but happily and meaningfully. We have many attachments and desires about how things should be in our universe. They dictate how we perceive good and evil. That’s fine; there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. It should simply be recognized and understood. The more we realize our selfish needs, the more we can create a better system for everyone to function well. As a result, certain human urges that might be "normal" or "in our nature" still need to be filtered and less accepted. Ideally, we don’t want a society filled with low-functioning, unhealthy individuals. If society can’t effectively provide for everyone, we don’t want people freely lying, stealing, cheating, manipulating, or murdering whenever they desire, as that creates a toxic environment where growth, love, and safety cannot thrive. Cleansing these traits and individuals would be a "necessary evil," but still highly preferable. Evil can really be boiled down to attachment, wanting things to be one way and not any other. It’s about being unable to sacrifice parts of yourself to work with reality or the good. It involves fear and self-preservation, willingly denying the truth and the impact of your actions on reality and others, and filtering actuality for selfish gains. In a world where we are all selfish agents, humans have an innate desire to survive—both physically and mentally, preserving our identity and ego (often even more than our primal survival urges). Thus, evil and corruption are bound to happen; in that sense, evil at times must be fought with a necessary evil. Hence, evil can sometimes appear attractive because having the courage to deny and resist for the greater good can be quite virtuous. I think when people say, "Evil is attractive," they are referring to power, confidence, and the ability to create change and impact. A lot of impact, even if it’s destructive, can seem appealing, as it offers a sense of control. Charming leaders often exude this feeling, which is how many corrupt cults get perpetuated.

@Buck Edwards Thank you so much, you are the GOAT. 💚

@Buck Edwards These are too cool! What are you using if I may ask? 💛

God...? Is that you?

Could anyone share any psychedelic, meditation, or OBE, near-death experience stories where they fully witnessed some sort of 'breaking of reality'? I've had a couple of experiences, but since 'physical reality' is such a heavily imagined and ingrained concept, I would just like to hear about others' experiences to get my mind going even more. I remember one time I had an insanely weird POV during a high dose of LSD, where, as I moved my head, the whole room would tilt along with it, and it scared the crap out of my ego, haha. I don't mean tilt in the sense that my perception would rotate; no, it felt like the actual room was tilting to the same side, as if some large rocket had knocked it off to the side. My head or "Mind" became the Reality Controller. This is one of the experiences where my reality really broke apart for a moment. Anything similar for you? People will probably have some crazy stories here!
