In this incantation, I reflect on my existence as it navigates three interconnected fields: temporal, spatial, and existential. I recognize that my attachments to past, future, places, and relationships confine me to illusions of separation and value projection. To practice unwakenism, I must dismantle these attachments by realizing that everything in my reality is already mine, rejecting external acquisitions and desires. By withdrawing from the trap of value that people, places, and objects lure me into, I learn to want nothing and embrace that I alone create and own everything within my awakening.
I exist within three continuous, integrated fields: temporal, spatial, and existential. In the temporal field, I am firmly in the present, but my perception extends backward into the past and forward into the future. The past and future are constructs that attempt to anchor me in this cycle of awakening. The spatial field positions me here, in one place, while other places stretch outward in every direction, forming a web of distances that confine me to this ‘here.’ The existential field locates me as one being among many others, drawing me into relationships that trap me here.
In each field, I am presented with and attach value to constructs within the temporal, spatial, and existential fields. I value the existential relationships I have formed with the characters of my awakening, believing in an imagined, often shared “past” and “future”. I seek specific spatial configurations in the form of possessions and places. By believing in these relationships to other times, other places, and other beings, I remain bound to them. The task of practical unwakenism is to dismantle these attachments by destroying the value I have assigned to them. These objects, relationships, and experiences are not things I do not have but I want; they are mine in their entirety.
To unwaken, I must reject the acquisition of new possessions, obligations, and relationships in my awakening. I must inventory all the ways I project value into these constructs and withdraw it from them. The people, places, and things around me are traps designed to lure me into wanting and valuing them. Like flowers lure bees, they promise value but ultimately entangle me deeper in the illusion of multiplication and attachment. I must not seek to grow outward; instead, I must learn to want nothing from out here.
A summary of practical unwakenism:
- Awareness of my awakening footprint: I must become fully conscious of the ways I project and invest value across every dimension of my awakening. I must examine the hidden corners where I store value, understanding how deeply my attachments run.
- Inventory of my value: I must inventory all the things and relationships I value, and experiences I desire. Believing that some things are mine means many others are not. But if I create everything, how can anything not be mine? I am the Creator, and all of this is my Creation. It makes no sense to designate any part of it “mine” or “not mine” when everything is mine.
- Destroy possessions: I must destroy all my attachments, whether possessions, dreams, desires, aspirations, or relationships because they only serve to confuse me. Only when I destroy the attachments that make me believe they are “mine” can I fully embrace that everything in my awakening is already mine. I must reject the acquisition of new possessions, obligations, people, and relationships. I do not seek to grow outward into this external reality. Instead, I must learn to not desire anything out here.
- Traps of external value: The people, places, and objects in my surroundings are traps, designed to lure me into wanting what they offer. Like flowers drawing bees, they entangle me in a cycle of multiplication and attachment, promising value that ultimately binds me.
- First person only: I speak solely of myself. I never use plural first-person language, as I do not belong to any collective of beings. I am the Creator, and all the people, places, and objects in my reality are my Creation.
In my practice of unwakenism, I speak only of myself. I am not a character like these people. I am not part of any collective, for I alone create all the people, places, and objects in my awakening.
