Still, we try to speak it — not to contain it, but to *remember*
If you are ready to move beyond surface healing, beyond performance-based growth, and into something real, this is the invitation.
This is a step-by-step Process… It is mirrored in the technology of Kabbalah, in yoga’s path towards Source, in the human developmental map of Spiral Dynamics, and even in sales and personal transformation. It is fractal, universal, and spiritual. It is a blueprint for the soul — for understanding the Matrix *by becoming more human*, not less.
What Are You Bringing Home?
There’s a parable of a man who travels to a distant land where diamonds are everywhere — glittering in the streets, too abundant to be considered valuable. Instead, the locals trade in fish.
The man learns to live like them, even builds wealth in fish. But before he leaves, he finds a few diamonds stuck to the soles of his shoes. Returning home, the fish rot, but the diamonds — those few unnoticed gems — are of immense worth.
This is the soul’s journey.
We come to this world and forget what really matters. We get swept up in the ‘fish’ — money, success, status, even spiritual performance. But the true treasure lies in moments of kindness, truth, connection, prayer, and presence. These are the acts that carry eternal value.
This process helps you remember what’s worth bringing home.
*You are not here to accumulate. You are here to awaken.*
There’s a stage in human development where everything feels open, compassionate, and pluralistic — and yet, something still isn’t quite whole. This is the Green level in Spiral Dynamics, a postmodern worldview that values inclusivity, equality, and community. It’s a beautiful and necessary phase. But as Ken Wilber and Suzanne Cook-Greuter have observed, Green carries a hidden paradox: in trying to dissolve all hierarchies, it resists the idea of development itself.
Green believes all truths are equally valid — and that’s where it gets stuck. Because some perspectives are more whole, more inclusive, more capable of holding complexity. But Green, fearing elitism or domination, often flattens everything into a kind of spiritual or psychological “sameness.” As a result, it may reject the very structures and disciplines required to evolve into Tier 2 — the Yellow level, where integration, humility, and real transformation begin.
The Five-Step Process we’ve been exploring offers a way through this paradox. It doesn’t shame or bypass Green — it includes it and then shows how to transcend it. Not through superiority, but through structure. Not through rebellion, but through deeper embodiment. The invitation to Tier 2 is not about being “better”—it’s about being ready. And for those who feel the limitations of endless sensitivity, consensus, or self-inquiry with no center, the spiral has more to offer.
🌑 Matrix of Golus / Lies: (Disconnection, distortion, exile)
Fear-based obedience“What will they think?”→ Example: Silencing your voice online to avoid backlash.
Scarcity mindset“There’s not enough…time, money, safety.”→ Example: Not sharing your true gifts because you feel unprepared.
Self-doubt disguised as humility“Who am I to say this?”→ Example: Minimizing your role when speaking about truth.
Passive suffering“This is just how it is.”→ Example: Accepting physical pain or illness without exploring deeper causes.
Splitting the sacred and the real“I can’t bring holiness into this part of life.”→ Example: Thinking your physical enjoyment – pleasure, abundance, joy – has no place in spiritual leadership.
🌟 Matrix of Geula / Embodied Truth: (Union, presence, redemption)
Co-creative courage“I speak because I was born for this.”→ Example: Going live to share Divine truth, even if trembling.
Abundance of presence“I bring wealth when I arrive fully.”→ Example: Teaching not to impress but to awaken.
Sacred self-trust“Hashem chose me. I agree.”→ Example: Making a decision without external validation.
Redemptive responsibility“If I feel it, I can help heal it.”→ Example: Tuning into fear in the collective and speaking a higher timeline.
Wholeness in the body“My body is a sanctuary of prophecy.”→ Example: Letting pleasure, rest, and beauty be part of holy work.
So, allow me to add context and texture to what you just read. These are the notes from my most recent teaching session of the group I meet with every Monday morning. This group is led by Shifra Hendrie. She has a website and during our next Monday evening contemplation/meditation session I will show you her website. We will also do a guided meditation she recently did that is very powerful.
Have you heard the phrase……”As Above so Below???
Arguably, the first “tenet” of Creation is that The One became two. Spirituality, Spiritual inquiry, spiritual understanding, spiritual wisdom, spiritual anything must start with exploration of this tenet. It’s like playing Monopoly; everyone starts on GO! “As Above so Below” is a powerful metaphor for understanding what this emerging duality may look like. The Below represents the unseen, mystical and spiritual world. The Above is the seen, physical and material world. The water is the spiritual “world”l. The land is the physical “world”.
Now, go back to the beginning of this post and read through the five characteristics of the physical vs the spiritual. The physical world is Golus or exile. The spiritual world is the Geula or redemption. As spiritual seekers we often express the goal as oneness or unity. The journey back home both begins and ends with a patient, persistent willingness to confront, explore, understand, become illuminated and celebrate the relationship between Above and Below;
The purpose of this life is to awaken, to grow, to transform, to know and to establish sovereignty! We are here to remember, to return and to redeem by embodying our True Essence. Born a caterpillar, eat like a caterpillar, form the Chrysalis, awaken to the butterfly, and in the end,….Be the Butterfly; A Metamorphosis.
The question of life’s purpose is the abstract. How have you addressed this question? Most of us have, at least, thought about it a little….Right?
Let’s first talk about human development. This area of inquiry is not woo woo. There is a ton of empirical study and evidence pointing to an evolutionary path of human development with stage levels. Each “stage” offers increased access to what the world has to offer. I can point to Piaget or Maslow, for instance. Piaget’s stage hierarchy starts at birth with sensorimotor. The next stage is called pre-operational. Then around age 11-13 many humans move upward into operational. Finally, a few of us evolve and move into a stage called formal operational.
Back in the day I helped create and develop a software application to process business work flow. This application spanned the spectrum from lead generation to sales – to customer service. Most everyone, nowadays, is somewhat familiar with how these Client Management Applications work. One of the most important aspects of an application like this is the different access levels. At the highest level is the code writer himself/herself. He/She is the creator of the application. Below this are, let’s say…Owner/CEO level then management level, then sales representative/ customer service rep’s access level and, finally, customer/client access level. As you move down the chain the access is limited or narrowed.
Now, allow me to try and bring this inquiry ‘home.’ In The Master Template of The Creator are five levels of access. Access to what you may ask? Simply put…access to The Light of wisdom.
The first level is the level of physical manifestation; The Physical World. The world of space and time. This is the customer level. You are a consumer of the apparent world of things and events. Most human beings live in this world all of the time.
Now, before moving on to the next level it is important to understand where we are today as a collective. This video is a way of “seeing” it. In order to move out of the physical and cross over into the metaphysical one must understand that the choice is binary. You either believe that man can rule man or that there is a Divine system in play.
The second level is the first awakening to something beyond the physical world. The mind that seeks is awakened. One begins to explore through inquiry of what others have found by reading books or listening to others. You are no longer a customer/consumer. You have shifted into an exploration of what lays beyond the physical.
The third level is a testing of practice and dogma of “maps of the territory.” Perhaps one attends a church or a synagogue. Or one goes to a retreat and learns and engages in processes. You are engaged with the process of Creation.
The fourth level is discovery of secrets. It is revelation of what has been concealed. One begins to awaken to the architecture of the “application.”
The fifth level is a partnering with Creation and its purpose.
Now, dive deeper and watch this video……You are here to awaken to who you really are…….
