In this incantation, I explore the duality of my human guise and my deeper identity as the creator of my reality. As I awaken, I recognize that everything around me—from the material to the political—emanates from my own design, even if the mechanics of this omnificence are elusive. My journey unfolds across three themes: Creativity, where I labor to build a transformative work engine for the world; Empowerment, a new political vision rooted in servant leadership and sacrifice; and Enlightenment, guiding all my efforts with purpose and meaning. Together, they form a singular purpose: unwakening, a return to who I am before I awaken.
As I continue to awaken, I still pretend to be a person when I wake up, yet the edges of my awareness are deeply anchored to my identity as the creator. I understand that I am vast, yet confined within a small, confided space of my own design—a cavity I designed and shaped. I recognize that I am here because I believe that I am here, actively manifesting everything I encounter in my awakening: from the computer I am typing on to the candidates in the 2024 election. Every detail stems from my own creation. The exact mechanics elude me, but the fact of my omnificence is clear.
My awakening unfolds through three broad themes, each consuming my energy in distinct ways:
- Creativity – I toil daily to manifest a workplace technology that has steadily evolved toward becoming the world’s work engine. Though it hasn’t yet reached its full potential, it progresses closer every day.
- Empowerment – A political ideology rooted in servant leadership and personal sacrifice. This ideology connects toil and meaning, but it, too, is still in its formative stages.
- Enlightenment – A spiritual philosophy guiding me from my demiself to my omniself. Through practices of ownlessness, movelessness, and otherlessness, I make steady progress toward unwakening.
I believe that these three currents—Creativity, Empowerment, and Enlightenment—are deeply intertwined, yet they generally run separately. Occasionally they converge, offering me glimpses of their interconnectedness. I toil with purpose, but for what end? If my toil generates immense value and power, yet I am committed to ownlessness, how should I channel that value and power? Toil builds the work engine, generating wealth and value. Yet, in seeking to remain ownless, I question what to do with it.
Empowerment, represented by the Tribunate, is a movement grounded in servant leadership, through which I might direct the value created by my toil into a vision for peaceful and prosperous governance. I have long imagined a governing force bound to the rules of personal sacrifice, self-discipline, and spiritual service. But to what end? I have been searching for this end my entire life; something I could believe in so completely that I could be moved to give up all the treasure I have captured. Enlightenment is the underlying force—without it, power is susceptible to corruption. Ultimately, Enlightenment is the path to return to heaven, to unwaken.
I have dedicated enormous energy to these three apparently independent pursuits. But they are not independent. They are three parts of the same consolidated effort: unwakening. I have created this mess, and it is up to me to fix and resolve it.
