WELCOME TO THE COSMIC RPG

You spawned into Planet Earth with consciousness, free will, a weirdly specific character build, and absolutely no tutorial. So, naturally, we're going to need the game mechanics. 

The Seven Hermetic Principles come from The Kybalion, published in 1908, and draw on the much older Hermetic tradition. Think of them as a philosophical player's guide:

Mentalism = Mind
Correspondence = Patterns
Vibration = Movement
Polarity = Opposites
Rhythm = Cycles
Cause & Effect = Consequences
Gender = Creation

Then I like to throw David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness into the party, a Map that gives us another way to examine HOW we're playing the mechanics. The main themes being:

FORCE: How do I make reality obey me?
POWER: How do I participate consciously in what's happening?

Same principle. Same situation. Very different gameplay.

The unanswered text.
The difficult conversation.
The creative project you're afraid to start.
The relationship pattern you keep encountering.
The season of life where everything seems to be changing at once.

The Cosmic RPG asks whether you can notice:

What am I thinking?
What pattern am I repeating?
What state am I reinforcing?
What cycle am I in?
What consequences am I creating?
What is actually mine to choose?

And sometimes the most enlightened move is…

PUT DOWN THE CONTROLLER. GO EAT SOMETHING. TOUCH GRASS. TRY AGAIN LATER.

The point is to have fun learning how to play.

Okay, but hear me out...

What if "wellness" isn't actually one thing? We are basically walking ecosystems with legs. Eight different systems trying to work in synergy.

Body. Brain. Feelings. Relationships. Spirituality. Money. Work. Environment.

You can be eating well while your social life is a dumpster fire. You can have a great career while your nervous system is screaming into the void. You can be spiritually thriving while your bank account is doing interpretive dance. And, sometimes the thing that feels like "the problem" isn't actually where the problem started.

This is why I like looking at the 8 Elements of Wellness alongside the Map of Consciousness. Like a cosmic detective tool.

Where am I operating from Force? Fear. Control. Resistance. Shame. Obligation. "I HAVE to."

And, where am I experiencing Power? Courage. Willingness. Acceptance. Connection. Purpose. "I CHOOSE to."

Because even the same action can come from completely different places. An example is going to the gym because you hate your body vs. moving because you enjoy inhabiting it. How about, setting a boundary because you're furious, or setting one because you've learned what you need. Working yourself into the ground because you're terrified of failing versus creating because you actually give a damn about what you're making.

And no, we don't have to banish Force to the shadow realm. Fear can warn us. Anger can reveal a boundary. Desire can get us moving. The trick is noticing whether the energy is helping you respond or keeping you stuck in the loop. So instead of asking, Am I doing wellness correctly?

Try…
What part of my ecosystem needs attention? Where am I forcing? Where am I empowered? And what tiny shift would bring the whole system into better relationship?

That's the real rabbit hole. Welcome to the investigation!

What if you stopped asking “WHAT AM I?” and started asking “HOW THE F**K DO I WORK?”

Because apparently our brains needed learning styles, thinking styles, polymathic connections, personality frameworks, intuitive experiences, a sprinkle of astrology, some Human Design, and approximately 47 coloured strings connecting everything together... and honestly? I think there’s something useful in that.

Different lenses can help you notice different patterns. One quiz, personality system, chakra, birth chart or mystical framework has the secret to how your mind works. Perhaps we need to be looking at it all at once...

How do you take information in?
How do you process it?
What do you naturally notice?
How do you connect ideas?
What makes something click?
Where are your blind spots?

And what happens when you deliberately try a completely different way?

Okay, so THIS is the Map of Consciousness by David R. Hawkins. In which he mapped these levels in his books, Power vs. Force, The Map of Consciousness Explained, Transcending the Levels of Consciousness, Letting Go, and others.

One thing I find REALLY interesting is that sometimes a stronger and weaker level can feel or look similar, but it depends on the perspective and intentions that dictate the vibration. An example of this is apathy and acceptance can look almost identical from the outside. Both can have you saying “Meh. It is what it is.”

But internally? It truly looks something more like...
Apathy: “Nothing I do matters.”
Acceptance: “This is what’s happening. Now what?”

These are VERY different consciousness. And this is where I find the Map useful. It gives you a framework for noticing what state you're operating from, rather than just judging your behaviour.

To test your level/state of consciousness, people also use applied kinesiology/muscle testing (AK) as one tool for exploring questions and patterns as another way to investigate what’s going on. Keeping in mind, this is not a cosmic lie detector by any means, but it does connect your subconscious and bring answers from within you to the surface. This method, when done correctly, can be infallible and results are often repeatable. The neatest part is that you can use this method and Map to test the validity of so many other things, like project ideas, life direction, alignment with in relationships, which inspiration or aspirations to follow, prioritizing goals, and the list goes on.

The goal isn't to obsess over what “level” you're at. It's noticing the pattern and finding the next step that gives you a little more agency, clarity and choice. Basically, this is less to with “OMG WHAT VIBRATION AM I???” And more like “Huh. Interesting. What can I do with this?”

The best questions are always the ones that ask for the mirror "what is this trying to show me?"

Numbers, of the esoteric variety. What's your magic number??

We've gotten very good at talking about authenticity, but sometimes we've accidentally turned authenticity into a moral virtue. It isn't.

Authenticity simply means something is genuinely coming from you. It doesn't tell us whether that thing is healthy, ethical, evolved, useful, or kind.
Integrity is different.

Integrity is what happens when your values have to survive contact with your emotions, your impulses, your relationships, your ego, and actual consequences.

You can authentically be angry without becoming cruel. You can authentically be afraid without becoming controlling. You can authentically want revenge without taking it. You can authentically be a hot mess while genuinely working on yourself.

And you can screw up while still demonstrating integrity through accountability, repair, and changed behavior.

That's why I find the Map of Consciousness interesting as a philosophical lens. Beyond asking, “Am I authentic?” we instead ask, “From what state am I acting, and what happens when I bring that state into relationship with another human?”

Authenticity tells us what's real. Growth asks what we do with what's real. Integrity asks whether our actions align with what we claim to value. Embodiment is when those values become something other people can actually experience through us. This all a part of taking accountability.

Being real is the beginning, not the finish line.

Getting a clear connection on the Deipnon of Hekate is especially relevant (offerings were traditionally left at crossroads or doorways, often around the dark moon/new moon) especially before this new moon eclipse tomorrow.

This is just stage 1: opening the connection. During twilight I will perform stage 2: the threshold ritual. Then tonight will be stage 3: the devotional at the crossroad.

My alter bowl contains keys, feathers, roses, herbs, a candle, three skulls, and a few other choice ingredients.

My offering will be an art piece in her honour, some fruit, and ashes from my enemies (dark thoughts for the eater of filth).

Protection magic is a whole dang toolbox, yo.

Warding, shielding, cleansing, banishing, reflecting, veiling, cloaking, binding, glamour, guardians, servitors... they all do different jobs.

Sometimes you need a cleanse.
Sometimes a boundary.
Sometimes a veil.
Sometimes you just need to ground yourself before deciding anything needs to be done.

CAUTION: Every tool also has a shadow side.
Wards can become fortresses. Shielding can become isolation. Cleansing can become compulsive. Watchers can become hypervigilance. Glamour can become masking. Binding can become control.

And remember that protection isn't retaliation, however baneful magic is a whole other conversation. My rule? Use the least force necessary to accomplish the actual goal. For the good of all, in ways that delight me.

Know what you're protecting, what you're protecting it from, and which tool actually fits the job.

For me, the goal is always sovereignty.

Sometimes that means a ward, or a mirror. Perhaps a cloak. And maybe, just maybe, all you need is a bath, a snack, and ten minutes outside 🌿🗝️

No worries, I also use wards to have the trash tell on itself and then take itself out 🤷‍♀️
