THE NORTH POLE OF COSMIC MANDALA

Sri Buffering Striding is here to lead you UP* NORTH**.

*"UP" seems obvious... the opposite of what happens to a rock when you let it drop, etc. But all these hooliganistics are framed by your cosmological vantage point. If you're still one of those towel-suckin' meat-jockeys who thinks the sun "comes up" in the morning then you're about 500 behind the rest of the species. Shake hands with the Catholic Church and put on a witch-burnin' brisket, you flat earth ninnies. You may image a casual up vs. down, heaven vs. hell, ladder of self-development with Hate at the bottom and Yoda at the top. For the rest us (who have seen a GLOBE) we've gotta face up to the fact that there are a virtually infinite number of UPs heading OUT in all directions from the center. If you start digging straight down you won't end up in hell... you'll come out the other side going UP -- an "UP" that is in exactly the opposite direction of the normal UP. So UP is not opposed to down. In space, it mean "out," or UP to the next level. What is UP in zero gravity? Hell, what's UP from 4-D spacetime itself? Now THAT's a heaven...

**NORTH suggests that point which is teleological relative to the lines of structural force that define a structure. On Earth, our NORTH pole is the attractive point toward which all lines of geomagnetic force flow. Now transpose that onto Reality as a whole. The beginning (vaguely big bangish) is the south pole, away from which all compasses are fleeing. Each 'thing' is a compass. Every motive of every organism is predicated on a singular "will to power" or "desire for the good" or "cosmological drift". The point toward which all developments in the universe/s proceed is TRUE NORTH. The hyperdimensional object at the end of time is TRUE NORTH. The end of the tunnel. The totality symbol upon which all adumbrations of psychological complexity are converging. Saint Teilhard's Omega Point. Etc, et al., and &.
