On having the dream this morning, I was intuitively reminded of the first insight pertaining to the rule of the four pronged nagal. The insight arises out of the first contact with the void.
The butterfly arises from the caterpillar. Egg-caterpillar-chrysalis-butterfly.
The chameleon can change colour, fire is transformative / transmutative, things are forged therein.
In the blue books opus, the first initiation is the transmutation, followed by transformation and then transfiguration.
The riddle of the mind suggests that most are stuck at the level of rationalisation and justification, there is little true thinking or true mind. One needs to get past these bad habituated habits to arrive at a real clarity as opposed to mind-stuff. Lower mind is not abstract and deals largely with the mundane and quotidian.
If you think about it the root of rationalisation is ratio, which is by definition comparative and this comparison is made to the known. Rationalisation is useless for the unknown. Justification is often by way of an excuse to “allow” things which are often a bit dodgy. One thinks of the imaginary weapons of mass destruction which allowed and excused the mass destruction of Iraq and the widespread slaughter.
We are taught in school to “justify your answers”. Humanity has a very habituated way of “thinking”.
I’ll put here a juxtaposition for you to rationalise and justify.
