Listen: this majestic awareness, freely transforming itself, displays the integrated structure centered around the inner reality of form.
Everything that exists and appears displays itself in the space of unborn reality. In this inner reality there is nothing to accept or reject. All that exists is displayed by me, the supreme ordering principle.
Listen: this teacher of teachers, the majestic creative intelligence, displays the integrated structure centered around the inner reality of communication. Everything that exists and is designated displays itself as semiosis arising from the unborn field and is gathered into this inexplicable inner reality of communication, the supreme ordering principle’s symphony.
Listen: this teacher of teachers, majestic creativity, displays the integrated structure centered around the inner reality of awareness. Know everything thought or attended to to be the substance of the unborn ordering principle itself.
The realms of form, communication, and awareness of the creative intelligence are the three naturally occurring, uncontrived integrated structures of reality. One who understands the reality of these integrated structures as complete in a moment without having been set up, has understood the core meaning of the spontaneously complete inner reality.

"Any perception can connect us to reality properly and fully. What we see doesn't have to be pretty, particularly; we can appreciate anything that exists. There is some principle of magic in everything, some living quality. Something living, something real, is taking place in everything." - Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
"Make your mind like a city." - The Shakyamuni Buddha
“A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.” - Aldous Huxley
"Since each of us are multiple, we are already quite a crowd." - Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari
"...[A]ll concepts in which an entire process is semiotically concentrated elude definition; only that which has no history is definable....Life is no argument; the conditions of life could include error." - F.W. Nietzsche
"But the life of Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself." - G.W.F. Hegel
"So we are proposing to decentre the question of the subject onto the question of subjectivity. Traditionally, the subject was conceived as the ultimate essence of individuation, as a pure, empty, prereflexive apprehension of the world, a nucleus of sensibility, of expressivity - the unifier of states of consciousness. With subjectivity we place the emphasis instead on the founding instance of intentionality. This involves taking the relation between subject and object by the middle and foregrounding the expressive instance.... There is an ethical choice in favor of the richness of the possible, an ethics and politics of the virtual that decorporealises and deterritorializes contingency, linear causality and the pressure of circumstances and significations which besiege us. It is a choice for processuality, irreversibility and resingularisation." - Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari
"Negativity makes all determinateness tremble, all being-all-to-itself: it injects it with a shudder and an unsettling agitation. What is so unsettling is the freeing of this determinateness for what is not - for the other and for the infinite - and whose very being is already in itself the essential sharing....The sense of upheaval is the upheaval of sense; or one might say, more playfully, that the sense of upheaval takes leave of sense or takes up where sense leaves off. This play is only the pleasant side, in itself insignificant, of the movement whose other side is the most serious penetration of thought." - Jean-Luc Nancy
"The politics of information, the history of knowledge, advance not through a critical negation of false representations but a positive hacking of the virtuality of expression." - McKenzie Wark
"Nature shows us only surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Light the first light of evening
In which we rest and, for small reason, think
The world imagined is the ultimate good.
This is, therefore, the intensest rendezvous.
It is in that thought that we collect ourselves,
Out of all the indifferences, into one thing:
Within a single thing, a single shawl
Wrapped tightly round us, since we are poor, a warmth,
A light, a power, the miraculous influence.
Here, now, we forget each other and ourselves.
We feel the obscurity of an order, a whole,
A knowledge, that which arranged the rendezvous.
Within its vital boundary, in the mind.
We say God and the imagination are one...
How high that highest candle lights the dark.
Out of this same light, out of the central mind,
We make a dwelling in the evening air,
In which being there together is enough.
- Wallace Stevens, Final Soliloquy of the Interior Paramour
