[Opinion] Foundational Chaos!

@ElectricEgregore

Have you completed Liber MMM to your satisfaction? I think it's worth revisiting from time to time to keep sharp.

I read into it, liked it so far, I liked the part about incorporating laughter
I had a phase where I was reciting mantras all day everywhere I went, I was way calmer and more joyful through it.
You're right, refreshing some things, especially the simple things one sometimes forgets can be worth a scrub after a 1000 year itch!

Yeah, the reason I called this "foundational" was many people skip over this stuff if they bother with it at all. The foundation is an important part of Anything. After Liber MMM, Liber Lux and Liber Nox, then things are much more in line for let's talk advanced stuff, but at least Carroll tried to instill the Importance of a Foundation! I'm not going to deconstruct them here (I did plan to) I can see that would tax some folks patience. At this point
I'm going see where this puppy goes for better or worse. If it gets too wonky I might try to save it, I'd like to think it was constructive overall. So chime in with whatever you think worthwhile, or don't, and we'll let it end gracefully!

That's an attitude and methodology that for a long time I needed to act "as if" and force it for anything less than pleasant. It took many times re-reading that paragraph before I finally did "get it" and it's been a valuable trick indeed! Even if Laughter isn't possible, smiling "inwardly" helps.
This kind of laughter can appear to others who are not aware to be a bit Grim!
