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
