Start with three things in mind

+

First one
is Realty
That’s all
that’s everything

+

Ethics is the second thing
The values we act on

+

Aesthetics is the third term
in the basic root triad
It aims for truth and beauty
in all we say and do

+

Start with a daily quiet time
a walk if you’re inclined
A time alone within yourself
You join your heart and mind

+

Now have a simple silent prayer
that seeks your own forgiveness
pledging forgiveness in return

+

Move now to colloquy
an inner dialogue
Using the triad we have named
to move along

+

Pick a subject that comes up
whatever concerns you
Ponder it and then move on

+

Your next stop is ethics

+

Let your sign meet tolerance
Reflect on what that says

Then let your sign meet helpfulness
Turn your mind to that

Finish with democracy
Consider what that means

+

Your next stop is aesthetics

+

First say any of the
following to yourself
Repeat as desired

Beauty is truth
Truth beauty

Freedom love justice

Blessings (5x) on our way

Gently moving forward

+

Then say

Non-idolatry

+

With that introduction
enter a conversation with
yourself

From this derive a sense of

actions

or expressions

that rise from your consideration.
