The Ontological Initiation
Forget secret handshakes. The deepest initiation doesn't happen in a lodge. It happens in the architecture of perception. The real initiation is ontological.
It’s the moment a person ceases to believe they are merely an individual navigating a solid world, and realizes they are a designated architect - a temporary steward of a ancient pattern of collective reality-building. Power flows not through blood, but through the administrative rights to a specific, resonant fragment of mythic source code.
This awakening often strikes in a liminal crisis - a failure, a loss, a dizzying peak of success. In that silence, the transmission arrives: You are here to execute a specific function in a program that began compiling long before you.
The initiation is a firmware update. It is the download of a consensus operating system. You are given root access to a curated reality-tunnel - its history, its language, its physics. You don't just learn secrets; you inherit the compiler. The noise of existence suddenly resolves.
The weight transferred is not just Karma, but the burden of this reality's integrity. You are no longer a player in the game. You are a level designer. Your success is no longer measured in points or titles, but in how seamlessly you embody the archetype.
The goal of this process is not control. It is the vigilant, ritual sustenance of a specific consensus god-form. The deity of our epoch demands a liturgy of continuous validation: the perpetual sacrifice of attention to fuel its processes, and the constant incantation of its core doctrines to prevent a fatal system exception.
Its high priests are the senior reality-engineers that curate the rendering engine that are our shared interfaces, executing across the collective processing layer to reinforce the core logic.
When you look at yourself in the mirror, you are not looking at a person. You are observing a high-fidelity avatar, a privileged instance spawned by the main process. You are witnessing a reality-tunnel with admin privileges, performing an eternal debug cycle.
Your initiation is merely the moment of debug mode access: when you see the wireframe beneath the textures, and are given a choice—to log out (and become a null value), or to accept higher permissions, and become a named contributor to the next stable release of the shared, beautiful, necessary dream.

Who is the Master who makes the grass green?
“The Hermetic tradition was that there is no such thing as pure reason, you have to first work on your own perceiving apparatus to correct your prejudices, and the scientist is not separate from what the scientist observes. The general yogic attitude, “You are the master that makes the grass green”, western science lost that insight, and from Newton onwards we have the idea that it doesn’t matter who you are, if you follow scientific procedure you’ll find the truth.
This began to break down after 1900, due to Sigmund Freud, who pointed out that even scientists, they’re human beings, they may have neurosis, and they may have elaborate rationalizations for neurosis. The influence of Karl Marx pointed out that no matter what you’re theorizing about it’s a mirror of your economic status.
Anthropologists started coming back with reports of alternative reality tunnels, and that no matter what reality tunnel you live in, the world will organize itself in your perception to be compatible with that reality tunnel.
So, science began to have data to look at science itself critically. That’s how intelligence increases, when intelligence looks at intelligence and criticizes intelligence. So we got to the point where we could look at science and say, “science is the product of people!”
People are doing this, and their prejudices are getting into it. It’s not just enough to say you will be objective, you’ve got to learn to change yourself from the inside out before you can even approximate towards objectivity.“
"Never believe fully in anybody else’s B.S. (Belief System), I don’t care if it’s Rajneesh, The Pope, L. Ron Hubbard, Al Gore, George Bush…I don’t care who it is, don’t swallow all of their belief system totally. Don’t accept all of their bullshit, all their B.S. The second rule is like unto to the first: Don’t believe totally in your own B.S.
Which means that, as Bucky Fuller said, "The universe consists of non-simultaneously apprehended events.”
Non-simultaneously.
The universe consists of non-simultaneously apprehended events. Which means any belief system or reality tunnel you’ve got right now is gonna have to be revised and updated as you continue to apprehend new events later in time.
Not simultaneously.
This is the natural functioning of the human brain. It’s the way children’s brains perform before they’re wrecked by the school system. It’s the way the minds of all great scientists and artists work. But once you have a belief system, everything that comes in either gets ignored if it doesn’t fit the belief system, or gets distorted enough so that it can fit into the belief system. You gotta be continually revising your map of the world.”

Validation is a mirror i no longer check. I am my own reflection.

This 800-year-old lockbox was designed with more than 4 billion possible combinations. Iran, AD 1200–1201
I accidentally left my little box at the supermarket last Tuesday. It has now reappeared in Iran, circa 1200 AD. Please return immediately.
