The MALKUTH Catharsis (Malkuth Journal)

This is something that I am constantly coming back to and working on.

It’s like:

a) I want to be impressive, because

b) then people will treat me better, and then

c) then I’ll feel less at risk, and then

d) maybe I’ll actually be able to feel a little better moving through the world.

That’s a simple ‘chain’.

But think about it.

If you could just jump straight to,

d) I feel better moving through the world,

then what happens to the entire structure?

It’s wild to consider.

This kind of thinking seems to me to be related to the dignity and regality scripting of Dragon Reborn Gold.

The more external factors that are required for me to get to

d) I feel good moving through the world

is the more I would consider myself enslaved.

Some slavery is happy slavery, but it’s still slavery.

If I’m a 6’4 man with the features and physique of a model and with 7 million in the bank, then those two things will make me very impressive to quite a few people. If I also own a successful company, give Ted Talks, and periodically discover new aquatic life forms; then that’s even better. Maybe I’m also a professional race-car driver who retired from the NFL and from a high-ranking career in Mixed Martial Arts (but without suffering any disfigurement or brain injuries). Great. Even better.

Most would not think of that person as enslaved.

Pleasure is great.

It’s the fuel and the foundation of most of our bullshit.

But when you, even just briefly and temporarily, experiment with removing pleasure from the equation of why you do everything and what there is to do, everything looks really different.

It’s actually a little crazy.

The basic animal equation: Pursue pleasure. Run from pain.

Break these rules only if it will result in greater pleasure.

(Of course, being messy, beautifully messy, we break the above rules for other reasons – whether lofty or idiotic – all the time. But, by and large, these rules explain a lot.)

ChatGPT just knocked it out the park. I trained it and worked with it on an exploration of my current worldview and contemplative project. Then after 6 or so rounds of dialogue, I asked it to pull together all that we’d produced into a brief statement that could, with sufficient accuracy and detail, orient it to continue the same conversation in a new chat window.

Here is what it produced:

In our conversation we’ve explored a sophisticated ontology positioning Consciousness as primary, irreducible, and generative. Consciousness is understood here not as passive awareness, but as a vibrant, structured, intentional field containing sub-patterns, nodes, and conscious denizens—actual entities with intentionality, experiential resonance, and meaningful presence. Within this ontology, conventional perceptions of an external material world become recognized as projections arising within Consciousness itself. While external factors may exist, they remain unknowable except through conscious experiencing. Thus, Consciousness is the irreducible medium of all direct experience—other phenomena may be theorized but never directly experienced except within consciousness.

Embodied somatic awareness is central and foundational to this ontology. Integration is explicitly experiential, embodied, patient, and nuanced—emphasizing direct somatic exploration, meditation, phenomenological inquiry, and experiential embodiment. This approach explicitly rejects mere intellectual or rhetorical understanding in favor of embodied experiential integration.

Magickal practices function explicitly as sophisticated experiential technologies for exploring, embodying, and integrating this ontology of Consciousness. Entities encountered (such as the angelic intelligences of the Shemhamphorash) are actual conscious denizens—intentional nodes and nexuses within Consciousness itself. Magickal workings are thus direct experiential methods of interacting with, exploring, and integrating these conscious entities and the broader field of Consciousness.

This ontology remains open and flexible, recognizing literally thousands of magickal practices, entities, and experiential methodologies available for further embodied exploration, integration, and experiential realization.


Please feel free to use this summary to orient me seamlessly whenever you’d like to continue our nuanced and meaningful exploration.

Journaling is a form of action-taking.

It’s consolidation, integration, and development of perceptions, understandings, and plans.

Two weeks ago, I ordered a name-embedded Major Title.

Ecstasy of Gold, Stage 1.

I combined it with Synergy: The Golden One and had it built in Zero Point Quantum.

For now, I’m calling it Gold of Gold ZPQ

Last week, Tuesday, 25 March 2025, I played it for the first time.

My current stack is:

Dragon Reborn Gold Stage 2
Gold of Gold ZPQ

I’ve played the stack 3 times thus far.

As always my play days are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. I’m playing full-loops.

I think that my favorite standard for gauging reconciliation might be my sense of my capacity to take action and my attitudes toward taking action. If I feel that I’m hitting a wall and that action is very difficult or impossible that is a sign that I am losing my center and may be involved in some more serious or deeper-level processing.

Milton Erickson’s “Rules of Life.”

by Betty-Alice Erickson

1. Life is hard work.
2. Life is unfair.
3. Life is filled with pain.
4. Everything ends.
5. Every choice costs.
6. The law of averages is usually correct—that’s why it’s called the law of averages.
7. Change is the only constant.
8. It is what’s in our head and heart that really matters.
9. What we receive in life depends on merit—and good or bad luck—or a combination.
10. Life was made for Amateurs

Had a full day. 10 am to 10 pm. Didn’t manage to meditate in the morning. So came home to shower and then meditate (with subs) from 11:15 to 12:15 or so. Now, it’s 1:30 am, and I’m going to head to bed.

And that is that.

My style of relating to my life, to phenomena, and to events is pretty ‘on the ground’ and ‘in the midst of things’.

It just feels right to me.

So, sometimes, I’ll take a step back and look at things from the Puppetmaster perspective. But quite often, I’m more interested in affirming and validating my limited but genuine experience of life and life’s conditions.

I think that this influences the way that I journal and how I talk about what’s going on.

I don’t think you can both 1) evolve and transform, and 2) be in control of your process of evolution. So, I tend towards prioritizing the former.

That’s a P tendency (I see as I’m typing this); in the sense of INFP.

J is just as important.

And one part of life involves finding our own balances and harmonizations between such contrasts.
