Chapter 14: What it means to “Wake Up” … Part 1 – affecting body & mind

Now that we have illuminated & clarified the major differences related to how the three Zones of Being are internally known & perceived, it is time to examine how they differ in “the real world” – namely the different ways that the members of these Zones “wake up;” how they quite distinctively interact with (& […]

Chapter 14: What it means to “Wake Up” … Part 2 – affecting beliefs & convictions

Secondly, we can look to how enlivening each of the three Zones differently alters one’s mental beliefs & the psychological manifestations that stem therefrom … *The minds of Zone 1 patrons are fundamentally ruled by impulse and prejudice (i.e. their emotional reactions, their vacuous convictions, their vapid preconceptions, &/or their selfish desires). In effect, their […]

Chapter 14: What it means to “Wake Up” … Part 3 – affecting choices & behaviors

Finally, taking the aforementioned information into account, we can see how the three Zones each lead to very different behaviors & ways of interacting with others … *While all three alternatives believe in the sanctity of the mind and its ability to adhere to the subtle advice of “the gut,” they each actualize the same […]

Chapter 15: Different enlightenments; different paths thereto

The fundamental question facing anyone looking to become “more enlightened” is not whether life’s negative challenges must be removed or mitigated, but rather how to go about doing so.

Chapter 16: Different paths; different Ends

It can come as little surprise to learn that the three Zones of Being not only manifest dramatically different characteristics while being enlivened by their respective members, but also engender dramatically different consequences (for self & for others) thereafter.

With this in mind, feel free to humbly ponder (& thereafter […]

Chapter 20: Different goals for different Ends

In harmony with the information offered in the previous chapter, it is important to note that we cannot effectively alter our intentions without simultaneously crystallizing the vision of our desired outcome(s) – that we cannot truly act for the another mindfully unless we begin with their “better end” in mind. That having been stated, feel […]

Chapter 21: The basic steps of Awakening

While it is true that there are many equally viable routes up the apparent mountain that is Enlightenment (indeed, as many routes as there are sentient beings currently alive – billions upon billions of equally worthy Pathways to Peace), it is just as true that none of those routes are viable in theory alone – […]

Chapter 22: Summoning the Strength to Awaken
