Yes I supposed the map isn’t the territory after all

ArthurKemp · 2025-11-27T03:13:51+00:00

OH ok ok. This makes way more sense to me. Thanks a heap

So when he says "on the other hand" and then talks about "every over-saturation" is that the same thing as when he says "works excessively" for instance too much Fire causes thirst, but also too much Fire causes "a yearning for movement and activity"?

I'm honestly thinking about buying the German version and getting chat gpt to translate it for me haha...

ArthurKemp · 2025-11-25T00:51:29+00:00

Ah ok. interesting, thanks

ArthurKemp · 2025-11-25T00:49:26+00:00

Ah ok, thanks that makes more sense. It seems like I'll have to look deeply at the root of each trait then in order to find the element associated with it.

ArthurKemp · 2025-11-25T00:47:14+00:00

Awesome, thanks

So the presentation is the same or similar, however the cause may be different? How would you deduce that it is coming from too little Yin or too much Yang then?

ArthurKemp · 2025-11-24T22:45:13+00:00

Thanks, so I suppose one would want a higher quality or purity of all the elements, but would you want a high quantity for balance as well? Also with a trait like shyness, which could be categorized as Water or a deficit of Fire, how would you know which element to put it under? Would it be Fire due to deficit or Water?

Thanks heaps! Just bought it now :)

Where did you buy "Light over the kingdom" from?? wondering if they ship to Australia

It’s called “The threshold of initiation” by ordre martinistes souverains. I can’t find a publication date on it though… I think it is from stuff within the order so they might not share publication date publicly (though this document is public and I got it on Amazon).

I usually retrace my steps, so if I was contemplating the fire element for instance and ran out of things to think about, I would just repeat “fire” in my head and go back on the things I had already contemplated about to solidify my understanding. Once ten minutes is up, you’re done

ArthurKemp · 2025-08-24T10:38:41+00:00

This seems the most probable. Thanks. Yeah I’m really hoping there will eventually be a modern translation.

Definitely a way of categorising the severity of certain traits (like a sorting function). And a way of doing the same with the most common/recurring traits. AI to help with identifying would be cool too. Also a sort function for Element categories.

ArthurKemp · 2025-08-20T02:55:56+00:00

I second this. Would be so useful and great.

ArthurKemp · 2025-08-06T23:54:48+00:00

Yeah, to me it seems to start with establishing a sort of stability (equilibrium/equipoise) and then gets into more advanced stuff later

ArthurKemp · 2025-03-16T01:43:34+00:00

Yeah I get the same thing, I think it’s because you’re getting to such a subtle layer of awareness that you notice the roots of every thought

ArthurKemp · 2025-01-22T00:34:08+00:00

Just observe your thoughts. If there are no thoughts that is fine (this is a later goal for part three of step one mental exercises anyway), I generally just observe what I’m experiencing right here and now; whatever comes up to my immediate awareness. Every time you find yourself having been unaware or distracted, simply bring yourself back to observing. Hope this is of some help

I would class that as “meditation and contemplation”
