Toward the Good: The Soul and the Geometry of Alignment

Continuously expose yourself to the Good, and the rest will take care of itself. Grace and willingness and strength will naturally flow into your life if you desire and gaze at it enough, for that’s the nature of the Good, to overflow and give away freely to whatsoever is facing it.

And you know very well what is the Good! It’s not a discursive knowledge susceptible to mental construction and verbal definition. It is known by all; it is felt by all: it’s felt as the fundamental orientation of the soul with maximum sense of alignment, and to feel aligned is a matter of the soul and the heart and not of the mind. You know when you’re aligned, for that’s the closest you can get to terrestrial anonymity which is the deepest desire of the soul.

Identity, or identification with a particular form, is a reactive phenomenon; it’s the result of resistance which comes from lack of alignment with the field. And a spiritual ideal of this life is to recognize that alignment with the principal direction, and then to live in perpetual, intentional motion to stay as close to it as possible; perfect alignment is not possible, and it shouldn’t be, for else life would be meaningless.

Most importantly, this proximity to the principal direction is not a matter of one act that’s good for all time but that of perpetual action; it needs to be renewed every day and every moment, for it is also in the nature of things and of life to drag the needle away from the source, to deviate. In short, a good life centered around the Good is a life of precession around a fixed, universal axis on which perfect alignment is defined. 

Perfect alignment is extinction and full anonymity. One who is perfectly aligned is never found again. A magnetization vector aligned with the big field can never be measured; it has no voice and no Logos; but once it’s tilted and starts precession, then it can sing and perhaps speak the truth: some yell it and some whisper it, and that’s a matter of how stretched they are on earth in proportion to their deviation from the Good.
