NEFX - Competicized.txt ? In addition to this representing the core or foundation upon which the totality of now-eroded knowns had accumulated, it represents as well the seat of the mind which undergoes this initial building and later breaking down in the journey to the ultimate, with this mind’s husk now shown in its actual vacuousness and impoverishing of the individual in a manner once eclipsed and distracted from all that had grown around the skull now bare. ? In forgotten customs these may be symbolized by not only the dead, but the barest perceivable form of them in skeletal form, particularly of the head; as well as the perching upon it by the creature of flight. ? This is to mark a return to the void, as though to reach to the ultimate primordial. ? Yet as this being descends literally, so must the tested being do so figuratively via a razing and burning down of knowns and givens, a total antimony towards the most conceivable known, a total fugue and confused pain of melted husks and burned ivory and copper. ? Thus said being’s mere invocation works as like a shorthand for all of these, a reminder and representation of the evolving process that transcends hierarchy itself. ? This perceivable connection between the two and the representation of potential to travel between them connects the flight-beings to perception and intuition, potential for the ultimate, and the being’s tasked eventual reaching or attainment of the ultimate on a level of consciousness. ? Consider for example terrestrial beings of flight, who by symbolic representation are implied to themselves represent flight of thought, and of celestial correspondences — such as how they may beckon sight and perception from the nether to aether as a continuum perceptually connected by a thread of light (at least at the right time and place). ? Those able and willing to do this will do so, and at any rate it is really more a case of “does not” than “cannot” pending the attainment of Lightform; but moreover the dispersed symbols may be themselves based in (even contextually “extracted from”) fuller ones as the context may again dictate (say, spatiotemporalcultural). ? By the same token, their initial individual experiencing and perception (especially in the most fruitful context as the engineerer may be apt to find) may lead to the inner labor of divining their hidden truth by disciplined contemplation, in due “hermetic” fashion. ? It may be so meant that these different sources and sightings of images and symbols in a particular canon, especially one that may be harnessed in part for the mass effecting of beings through the spreading and exhibition of these elements, should be so that they may eventually be gathered for centralized display and explanation that may not happen otherwise (pending the transcending of that provisional necessity to act according to general collective mortal folly and limited thinking that often leads to indolence where given higher truths plainly). ? Such order may have a specific number of phases or duties, however outlined subjectively to achieve a certain number whose significance is likewise symbolic and according to the other elements under consideration for transformation and the reaching of the ultimate — and these may be hiding in relatively plain sight, being even on display in public areas which mass consciousness simply does not find interest in or promote. ? Specifically, the honing and collation of fundamentals, in due order as may bring about the most righteous effect, relies heavily on understanding not only of images or symbols, but the core archetypes of which they are a representation. ? Therefore, the individual study of these images and symbols such as would involve (not to mention their according concepts) and deliberate evocation of them for the effecting of beings, particularly on a relatively mass scale, may involve the placing of them on such a level of inviting curiousness and secrecy as would inspire the most careful investigation and thereby journeying to the center of the concept. ? In particular the root of their effect as may be conceived of in the primordial existence of the beings who have come to use them on any sort of mass scale, as well as the significance of the combination and arrangement of things in the image or symbol, and directional orientation — for directional orientations themselves hold certain weight that is in wholistic connection to both existence within the cradle of root natural elements and the wild imaginative inferences of ultimate reality therefrom. ? Yet their use may find surprisingly common root in a certain discipline of the hidden and fundamental, and to a degree their persistence can be reflective of a general fundamental effect they may have on the perceiver even across decreasing or simply changing perceptions of them. ? Many culturally prominent images and symbols may persist therein past the point at which the root concept and impetus to their use is collectively remembered (which in the first place is relative given the tendency at different epochs to be most potently remembered among a specific learned circle, thereby really reflecting a decreased general average as a natural byproduct of mortal time).
