In the following essay I explore various ideas relating to the development of the Self.  These are mainly discusse in terms relating to existentialism.  An early reader of this said it seemed to echo some ideas of Aristotle and Lacan, which I a taking as a compliment though I am not familiar enough with either to know how such parallels may exist.

I am working on a larger piece relating to this topic, however that is for another time.  If you notice similarities in your progression to what is described please let me know.  If you don't please let me know as well.  I am curious as to how useful this outline and line of thought may be to different people.

Primary research is based on personal history and observation of individuals, first hand for the most part.

Enjoy!

Hope all is going well for everyone!

Xeper!

This piece turned out longer than I had anticipated, however it covers what it is intened to in a way which anyone reading it should hopefully be able to understand the model provided.

For further reading on the topic of Initiation as it relates to the Self and other matters I recommend Alex's article here.  My bit here takes a slightly different approach to the matter.

As it stands at the moment I will bee posting an 'article' a week, with possible extra posts throughought the week time allowing and if there is some matter to post concerning.  Hopefully these will be useful to some, interesting to others, and a tool in other ways.  They are all connected.

I welcome any thoughts, feedback, comments regrarding the matters covered.

Best wishes.
Xeper!

There are several ideas/projects I am currently working on, and a few of which I will be posting here to give back to the community here and what everyone else offers, as well as just the need to send ideas out into the world.

This is an exploration into the Law of Nine and Cycles of Nine in relation to an observed and current event.  Whether or not this event is the direct result of a directed Working is of no real consequence, it can help with understanding certain aspects of these cycles (and other cycles) as well as the importance of timing within larger cycles and thinking of how one's actions can be best suited at a particular moment.

Also just thought it was an interesting parallel.

The article is behind the"read more" link below all this text.

For anyone interested I have various music I've been working on uploading here, most are older sketches and experiments I have worked on, with a wide range of sounds and lengths (some may be 1 minute long, some may be 7 minutes long).

You can find those here : http://edred.net/community/members/460/vault.php

At the moment I have been working on a new piece, which I've put an early version up for free download here : http://edred.net/community/members/460/vault.php?p=9

This will be expanded and uploaded in the future.

I'd like to thank everyone else who contributes here and Edred and Waldo for setting up and maintaining this community, reading the posts of everyone else on here has been of beyond value.

Also I recommend checking out Waldo's "Matrix Logic & the Runes" if you're so inclined, it's just given me a lot to think about and the implications are far reaching if you look into what is being explored there.  You can find that here : http://edred.net/community/members/4/vault.php

Also check out Waldo's 'Paradox Games', based on reading Matrix Logic and the Runes it should be quite interesting!

Feedback or thoughts on music or the article I'm posting here greatly appreciated.  Hope it can help spread some ideas, thoughts, inspiration, and entertainment.

Xeper!
