Not everything can be represented by text
There is always more than the compendium
Read the compendium when you deviate
Reading the compendium -> Faith (knowing that the contents are the only truth) -> Adherence
- If the compendium isn't enough to conjure Faith, then meditate
The experience exists
- there are not multiple experiences at one time, there is just the experience
Eusthesia: the experience is distinctly (ergo genuinely, truthfully) positive/good
- to achieve it: do actions that cause eusthesic facets
Eusthesia itself cannot be cogitated
- Eusthesic Facets (cogitatable and attainable classifications facets of eusthesia)
- thrill, love, freedom, truth, base reality, the more, sexual pleasure,
full mind, wonder
...
Moot Point: between neutrality and eusthesia, but completely seperate from either
The Good Life: neutrality – eusthesia (preferrably eusthesia) - in the eternal present
- Always doing actions that cause the good life: ever cause eusthesic facets,
never cause dysthesia.
Don’t cause no thought
(causes dysthesia in itself. Also makes you just do, without thinking -> doing actions with empty
desire and false notion of superiority, not doing actions in the good life = neutrality, moot point,
dysthesia.)
- ex: social media ever causes dysthesia (facet: conflebtion), is done because of no thought
Non-action (not doing actions in good life or seeking new actions that may be in good life)
-> conflebtion
- Usually manifested as occupying your mind with neutral things and time killers
- Ex: just listening to music
Necessaries (work is inevitable, but you can maximally minimize it): least amount of work possible.
academic success -> less time required than failure
efficient studying -> academic success -> least possible necessaries
-> the only true studying mankind is capable of ^
The perfect life exists
Sensory classification alters thought/mind and spiritual classification.
- Can make you not think about truths, or even know they exist
- "Cultural" aspect included, notions
- it is impossible to have nothing in the sensory classification,
so maximize the diversity of the sensory so that individual notions have negligible power.

Epistemology: determining truth
- Inspiration (Starting Thought) -> Intuiton -> Truth
- Starting Thought
- Isolated mind (free, beautiful and euphoric)
- Discourse
- Reading
- Can start thought by providing the worded statement directly
- Anything other than intuition is only to be used as inspiration
- Don't listen to anybody/anything
- Also don't normalize their information
- Truth is determined by "intuition" (step 3)
- Truth Meditation:
1. Don't think about truth, instead think about the (worded) statement.
2. ...(non-word)... roughly: work from that statement
3. Truth determination comes in a non-word way, and is distinct and instantly recognizable.
Ways to think about statements: repeating them, saying them, repeatedly saying them
Think of more statements, think of more statements related to that statement,
divide statements into more statements, use part of a statement to create a new statement
