our 3 x 3 nature

What constitutes the individual agent of consciousness?

There are many ways to describe the sentient individual. A simple and effective description stems from the trinary universal concept of simultaneous oneness and difference. This trinity is made up of nine things in total, or 3 x 3. Everything that an immortal individual agent of consciousness is may be divided among knowledge, power, and responsiblity. What a person knows is manifest through the power of a person's actions in terms of ignrance vs. realization, and the dynamic process by which a person evolves their knowledge through their power of action is a matter of responsibility.

These three aspects of the sentient individual correlate with the three innate and unconditional universal emotions that are love, joy, and compassion; these emotions are accepted or repressed more or less depending on the individual in question, and this acceptance or repression manifests in any countless number of ways again depending on the individual in question.

Love has to do with the harmonious equilibrium of balance between the associative universal force of gravity and the disassociative universal force of entropy/"time", in terms of the distinction between Self and Other; love correlates with knowledge in terms of personal fractal immortal identity. One loves, in simultaneous oneness and difference, their own self and the universe, as the two perpetually evolve in harmony. One can only truly realize this love with knowledge of simultaneous oneness and difference that is at the heart of their paradoxical identity--one is (simultaneously) a part of the universe (oneness) and apart from the universe (difference).

Joy has to do with one's power that is one's intentional and wilful manifestation of their knowledge into their reality through action; joy correlates here with power. To the extent that the distinction of Self and Other is relative, one also experiences joy for others and the universe at large. Joy stems from the differences (of personal identity that manifest through action) that unite us all in the sense that a unity is only a unity with a healthy diversity to unify in the first place.

Compassion has to do with one's relationship to others in terms of recognition of the similarities that all sentient individuals share in common. Compassion is a fundamental motivating factor for one's actions in terms of rightness vs. wrongness, in the service-to-other sense of helping alleviate the suffering of one's kin and in the service-to-self sense that personal harmony and broader contextual and ultimately universal harmony are mutually contingent. Responsibility involves to what extent one chooses to accept vs. deny the reality of universal oneness, that all sentient individuals are equal and inter-connected--corresponding to compassion in the sense that compassion is the responsible manifestation of this knowledge through right intent.

These three aspects of sentient individual existence plus these three universal emotions in turn correlate with the three trinary archetypal aspects of universal creation that are love, wisdom, and power. These three universal aspects are basically what one works to master on the path of self-realization.

["love(/joy/compassion)" and "power(/responsibility/knowledge)" will be used to refer to "love" and "power" from the previous trinary sets, as opposed to those in the following set that is "love, wisdom, power"; "love(/joy/compassion)" refers only to "love", it does not refer to "joy" and "compassion" as well]

Love here refers to macrocosmic love that is the essential fundamental permanent reality of universal oneness, in contrast to the afformentioned microcosmic love(/joy/compassion) that is the conventional dual impermanent reality of the interplay between the force of association (macrocosmic love itself) and the force of disassociation resulting in individuality. Love here is the ultimate unifying fabric of reality, allowing for variety of individuality to arise in the first place. Stemming from this, then, comes knowledge, which is what differentiates through fractal immortal personal identity one sentient individual from the next. In turn does one realize microscopic love(/joy/compassion) towards their eternal individual reality context that evolves through simultaneous oneness and difference under a context where the only constant is change. As one's knowledge evolves in a healthy way, one progressively associates their personal identity towards the internal core of the fractal system of perpetual change that they are and away from the external periphery of the fractal system of perpetual change that they are; one eventually retains continuity of memory between incarnations and beyond. As one's knowledge clarifies the distinction between one's microcosmic identity apart from the universe and one's macrocosmic identity as a part of the universe (in the simultaneously unified and differentiated sense that the only constant is change), so is one's microcosmic love(/joy/compassion) able to increase in both paradoxical directions simultaneously without conflict. To reiterate, macrocosmic love simply allows for this to happen, because it is not something you think or feel, but rather it refers to the universe as a single unified thing and the force of association needed to keep it as such for eternity. Mastering love involves desiring to evolve the universe as well as yourself in a healthy way.

Wisdom is pure essential intuitive universal Truth, beyond language and conceptual relationship; comparatively it may be noted that understanding is conceptual relationship applied to wisdom through language/symbolism, resulting in a synthesis of individual knowledge. Power(/responsibility/knowledge) correlates with wisdom in that wisdom is the original wilful act of universal creation arising from macrocosmic love. As power(/responsibility/knowledge) is knowledge manifest in action, so is wisdom the original manifestation of the ten Sephirah on the Qabalistic Tree of Life; exemplified as Chokmah directly proceeds Keter. The ten Sephirah are the linguistic/symbolic building blocks of the cosmos, yet they are each literally ineffable and transcendental, and one Sephirah cannot accurately be considered as if it exists in isolation from the other nine. In the same way is wisdom pure, essential, and intuitive, beyond conceptual relationship, and this may all be compared to the necessity of considering one letter of the alphabet in context with the rest of the alphabet for any meaning from it to be derived. (Indeed, wisdom may only be realized through applying understanding to it, resulting in personal knowledge; unless one is adept enough to operate for any length of time at once in pure wisdom, an experience which you eventually translate into knowledge.) In the sense that you cannot hoard wisdom for yourself because it is universal in nature in the first place (in stark contrast with knowledge which is the core of your individual identity in relation to the universe), so when you act in terms of power(/responsibility/knowledge) are you better off working with the natural flow of things than against it because this flow is actually a helpful means to your end as opposed to a hindrance. Joy arises from being in touch with universal wisdom, when you act for your action's own sake and you cultivate knowledge for your knowledge's own sake. Joy is what keeps you going, and as you lack it the more you proceed in an unhealthy direction of personal evolution, so is the wise way ultimately also the joyful way, even in face of suffering. Mastering wisdom involves the eternal maintenance of your health.

Power here refers to the ability to do things in terms of ignorance vs. realization, as opposed to power(/responsibility/knowledge) which refers to the act of doing as opposed to the act of knowing. Power here is the original and pereptually evolving manifestation of the universe at large from the ten Sephirah of the Qabalistic framework of universal procession. Such power infuses all the Sephirah and extends beyond them into all of creation; exemplified in that Keter's potency manifests through Chokmah into Binah, fundamental potency that infuses the seed-form latency of convention with life like energy that powers a machine. With responsibility in terms of good vs. evil, the more one proceeds in a good healthy way, the more one works with the flow of the universe in its infinite wisdom, and the more "conventional machinery" may one potentially make use of through which to manifest their will. In other words, the means are already there if one knows where to look, and one need only create the ends, just as it is absurd to try and create a new Sephirah for one's personal use to accomplish something that one doesn't yet know how to do. Through acting compassionately towards the universe as well as one's own self, so does one align themselves with good and open themselves up to the greatest potential of probabilities; this has nothing to do with a higher power, but simply evil ways are not eternally sustainable in the practical sense of personal health and upkeep and therefore they offer limited evolutionary options in the long run. Compassion arises naturally through responsible intention and is an integral component of true power, such power cannot be hoarded any more than wisdom since you only possess the ends in terms of right knowledge as opposed to the means in terms of secrecy (you only deceive yourself if you try to hoard power). As any evil force or entity is essentially of the light as opposed to the darkness--since ultimately everything is of the light, just different shades of grey--so do compassion-based energetic psychic/astral maneuvers always overcome opposing forces of less pure quality; focusing on the perverted core of ignorant light effectively smothers the darkness it mistakenly attempts to produce. Mastering power involves realizing how to successfully live in a loving and wise way.
