IROOT:NOT Update II

Three and a half topics:

Extreme Feedback
23rd Century Technology
Masters
The Toe

Since the March Update, we've had a stream of comments about IROOT:NOT (The International Royal Order Of The: Nomads Of Truth). I'd like to share a few extreme observations.

On the negative side, I've heard that I "borrowed" about 368% of the IROOT:NOT material from other sources. OK, I can live with that. Actually, according to the "Friendly Borg Principle," NONE of the material was "borrowed."

The Friendly Borg Principle states the IROOT:NOTian Sub-Vector of the Force of Evolution doesn't borrow. It assimilates. When something is assimilated by the Sub-Vector, it becomes NEW, transcending its previous boundaries. Miraculously, that which is assimilated doesn't lose its individuality: its individuality becomes enhanced.

A friend made another comment. Paraphrased, she said, "You come across like you're the center of the universe. You're full of . . . illusions." Well, she's right! As an ego, I am the center of the universe. Egos are like that. In my divine aspect, I AM the center of the universe, as well. However, I attribute these qualities to everyone.

About the illusions part, whenever anyone speaks (or writes), he or she is sharing an illusion. We use symbols — words, letters — to express our mental interpretations of reality. AT BEST, this is a ONCE displaced description of reality. When you believe that you're speaking The Truth, you heap on yet another layer of illusion.

(The forces of genetics, religion, astrology, childhood experience, and culture shape our emotional responses. These responses are the emotional body's interpretation of reality. They "make sense" to us when we put them into thoughts. ["I'm angry" or "I feel happy."] Circumstances trigger these programs.)

So, anyway, on the positive side, here's a roughly accurate quotation from Rado (his spiritual name): "After I received my [IROOT:NOT] membership card, the energies were very strong and disorienting, as you said they'd be. Now, things have calmed down. It's like I'm seeing everything from another dimension."

An important effect of IROOT:NOTic energy is that it sears paradoxes. What does this mean? Paradox Searing is a 23rd Century post-quantum technology — a vast improvement over the Sub-Nano Biotechnologies of the early 22nd Century. Searing happens as the Sub-Vector ignites the process of METAFUSION. This process seals paradoxical gaps of consciousness, which surprisingly, "cures" the universe (of paradoxitis).

True believers of any movement or religion must "walk the line" so they can "do it right." IROOT:NOTians, however, surf the wave and AREN'T AFRAID TO FALL OFF while "hanging One." (In every moment, another wave appears — for those who can see.) When we say "hanging One," we're talking about hanging the Toe. The Toe is the IROOT:NOTian quasi- equivalent of the Tao.

You can learn about the Toe in many ways. One way is to study the Nez "Cones" - mind-wrenching riddles designed to short circuit your lateral thinking nodes. Nez Masters (those who study the Toe for 18 hours or less every day) invented the Cones. Here's an example of one. "What is the sound of one band napping?"

Nez tells us that, like fingerprints, no two Toes are alike. Yet, the Big Toe (The-One-That-No-Shoe-Can-Contain) is the driving transneural force that animates all so-called individual Toes. With your Toe hanging over the edge, you are IN BALANCE with the ur-Tide. Here's what I mean.

The tendency of humanity is to choose a side, stick by it, and defend that side whenever threatened. "I'm right, and you're wrong." Here's a graphic example. Imagine the yin/yang symbol. The True Believer stands on the White (or Black) side and staunchly says, "The White side is true. Anything over the line is wrong."

Thinking people look at this polarized attitude and wonder, "Hmm . . . There's got to be a better way." Usually, they choose one of two alternatives.

First, you have the "nice" solution. You say, "Both White and Black sides are true." With a little practice, you can prove that all "bad" things are really "good" things in disguise. Soon, however, like a bottle of Coke without a cap, this Yes-To-Everything solution goes flat. ("OK, everything is nothing. What's next?")

Becoming disenchanted, some try the opposite, "skeptical" approach: "Both White and Black are wrong." All "good" things are really "bad." You can inflate your self image even more by wisely stating "good and bad don't exist."

Although some relish the superficial power of criticism, Both-Side Bashing can shrivel your heart quickly. Like a coarse blend of sand, gravel, cement, and water in a tin bucket, the elements of criticism, egotism, disappointment, and superiority harden into concrete cynicism. So, where to go? What to do? . . . Ahh, thank God (or Its absence) for IROOT:NOTics.

Here's an IROOT:NOT alternative. IROOT:NOTians take the original polarized view (of the True Believer) and put in their left hand. Next, they put both the "nice" and the "skeptical" views together in their right hand. Arms outstretched, they use them for balance. (Each of these three attitudes has value.) Then, they hang their Toe across the sine-wave (the curving line in the yin/yang symbol). By doing so, they allow THE WAVE to MOVE THEM FORWARD.

Indifferent yet excited about the outcome, they ride deeper into the Mystery Curl The Toe functions as their etheric gyroscope. It keeps them moving straight ahead in the right/left direction — spiraling upward. As the veils lift, they realize that the Toe is their esoteric and hidden cure for redundancy!

You have master musicians, master craftspeople, and masters in most fields (including crime). You can earn a Masters in college. In Western religion, Christians don't have masters. They have saints. (Christ's Apostles called Him "Master." If others claim to be a Master, this might imply that they're divine as well. ["I am the Truth, the Light, and the Toe."].)

In the East, you have spiritual masters. After achieving a degree of whatever is important to the particular religion, the person earns the traditional title of "Master." Some can do magic, some are kind. Some have dark sides "the size of the universe." Each is human.

In IROOT:NOTics, you must earn the title of "Moster." (Or, you can buy the Title AT BELOW THE WHOLESALE PRICE!) However, you never even MENTION your elevated status to anyone (unless you want to). Your silence, of course, dampens the ego thrill that the title can convey. Have you ever noticed, though, the subtle "I'm better than you, because I'm so much more spiritual than you" attitude? Sure you have! Imagine how hard it is to resist this one-up-personship with the sign of Master — in softly throbbing purple neon — hung around your ego.

An IROOT:NOTian Moster has surrendered to her Toe. IT leads her, not the other way around. Her brain or emotions may say "right," but if the Toe says "left," then left she will go. (Unless she really wants to go right.) Because of this, Mosters never contradict themselves. When they do, however, it's because they are using different frames of reference to describe something. Or, they have simply changed their mind.

Note: Some (even a couple of IROOT:NOTians!) refuse to surrender to anything — to their Toe, even to the universe. They need to be "in charge." With this attitude, you take responsibility for your actions. Because life is an experiment, we honor this path.

In transcendent (yet ultimately immaterial) contrast, some IROOT:NOTians believe that the universe is a minor aspect of their greater selves. Surrendering to the Toe opens doors unreachable to the "in charge" self.

Nonetheless, a waiting-to-be-saturated "Instant Karma Mix" permeates the universe. All decisions, wet with intention, saturate this karmic etheric powder. And you must swallow the resultant drink — in this lifetime! The good news? Yes, it WILL quench your thirsts! That's why Mosters live each day as if it was their last. They know that someday THEY WILL BE RIGHT!

No two Mosters are alike. Though they may diametrically oppose each other, they LIVE THE UNDERSTANDING that they are each both sides of the same coin. This explains why (in an obtuse way) Mosters don't usually care what others think about them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. (Negative thoughts about IROOT:NOTians usually stem from misconceptions about IROOT:NOT Principles.)

A Moster has integrity (most of the time), can tell the truth with a straight face, and is forgiving (sooner than later). They live ordinary lives, except when they don't. "Ordinary" and "Extraordinary" is yet another paradox that IROOT:NOTians surf. They know that when they think that they are "special," they are not, and when they are special, THEY are not. (Shhhhhhhhhhh . . . This non-technique is an IROOT:NOTian form of invisibility.)
