The Tiger and the Dragon

Prelude

What I'm writing about here - in this new Arc - doesn't follow a concrete Plot. It's unexplored terrain! Or, perhaps - I'm writing in order to explore.

So, if I act like I know where I was going with this, it's probably just some thread I'm following or something popping up in the distance, but not the all-over experience.
As I preluded to earlier, my mindscape is a mess. Theere's just a lot going on. Different things. And going through it, thinking about what to put my time to, is daunting at times. I don't have time for it all. Not "now" at least.
But on the other hand it's also not quite as simple as picking a thing and going with it. It's more about ... separating a strand that works for me, from the hodgepodge of possibilities.

Politics is Politics

And that's ... a touchy subject. I don't want to throw anyone under the bus nor lean into any pre-existing ... grudges and such. Though I have my positions. Like ... it just occurred to me that I check all the letters of the LGBTQ Logo. Well, I'm definitely a Lesbian. Romantically I definitely lean towards women. But what maledom there is in me, 'it' is definitely also Gay. Like, in a gay way. Because ultimately I'm a woman and one cannot check both the Gays without also being somewhat Bi. Though in my case it's more like Pan. I'm also Trans - and if all that doesn't make me Queer ... then yes. I'm not Queer in the traditional sense. That of being colorful and extroverted.

That is just me - and as a matter of self-preservation I have certain political leanings offered to me. One could call it identity politics - but what isn't? These days?
If you want to bring issues to the table, I want to bring issues to the table - and if your issues and my issues contradict then we have a problem!


And eventually violence comes into the picture.
So, there has been this incident. In reaction to "the left"s opposition to Donald J. Trump, people began speaking of a 'Civil War'. That eventually culminated in the victory of Joe Biden - which then led to an armed assault on the US Capitol by an angry Mob of Trump supporters.

So, who's being violent here? Whom is the violence directed at, and why?

Ignoring what everyone's saying - this is a democratic dilemma. I could pick a few lines and compare them to my own interests. And then a few steps forward and we're back where we started.


So, for now, the story was about our experiences and our pursuits; And a call from somewhere - someplace somehow - to come together in peace. With requirements laid out, we can start our own journey - and those who come to the LORD will also come unto me.

And what we find to be true, together, should be venerated. Exalted. Such that when there is someone looking for truth, we don't end up on the wrong side of the story.

What I suspect is, that the Experience of the Ninth Seal allows us to 'Link' together.
I can only suspect though, because I have not been able to verify it yet. But since the Prayer is written as for a Group, I suppose that the individuals of that Group that are allowed in can see each other.
Linking then means that individual Groups can link up with other Groups based on the trustworthiness of any one member. As the Groups grow, they can elect embassadors; And thus, as by word of mouth, a virtual whole can be extended from the collective whole.

This way we can organize as a Group - in both internal and external affairs. Focusing on our collective wealth and what our legacy will be. The best bet is to try and do good - in my opinion; And on top of the list right now I think we have: "Peace and Stability in the world".


"We're called, the Illu..."[Deus Ex Theme plays] ... XD ... just kidding.
But it does ... ! Or did ... . Oooooh ... !!!????


["Paris Streets"]_
But what plans does Fate be plotting?
["Desolation (Hong Kong Canal)"]_
Can we be sure ... that it is a good day for these kinds of aspirations?
Or should we be ... worried?

Life is Life

And while that is not always good - we can all add to its quality.
We can come together as friends ... giving peace for peace in return.

Envision


Where is the problem? If it's communication - well, we need to talk.
If we can't talk, we must find the problem.
If the problem is that we can't talk - we must find what allows us to talk.
To that end we can Link together, but we can also start with a foundation.


The priesthood among us is the Sourceblood of our unity. Anywhere, where we have priests with the authority to baptize, and a pool to do so, we can offer entrance into the sacred.

It is through these, that one would get started; And from these, that one would find unity with the whole. And it is from there, that we can grow.
As we can extend our trust unto those that come in, they can extend their trust upon us - we can grow as a family and nourish the wealth of our spirits.


What we first need is a strong arm, or lever, to practically "push" ourselves into existence. This, in some aspects, is quite literally an arm - however strong or weak it is. We need to come together and agree to some kind of constitution, such as to have a codified pillar of the conjunction.

The idea would be, at first, that everyone who wants to add to its strength should have a way to doing so. And through commitment we can produce power.


Next to the pool, we have our workshops. I would like there to be some 'common workshop' for instance - run by people who in the back manage and organize local needs in as far as manifactured goods are concerned, and in the front run and maintain local workshop environments.
These ultimately converge around living areas - which further include Kitchens, recreational spaces and resting places.


Apart from that we'll need of Offices and Storage spaces. Within these offices we can start to dedicate space to various endeavors, such as the maintainance of assets, networking, membership services and more.

This eventually translates into Gatway Logistics, but at first allows us to create a Guild Network. And prior to that, there's what it takes to keep it all running.

"For a Healthy Environment"

- is another good Motto go by. But whatever the case now, Church - also diversifies.
The individual and their close contemporaries, they at first make up Church in the most immediate sense. If so, they further split into different institutions, which make up Church in the overarching sense. At the heart of it all there is the Priesthood that is entrusted watch over the Spring - making up 'the Ekklesia'.
The remaining six Pillars integrate into this via the Churches own internal Network, following the previous blueprint. That rough outline of internal mechanisms is thought to include the entire potential of the collective within itself.

The role of 'High Priest' thereby falls onto those, that are ordained by the collective to learn the ways of inter-local one-ness. They are dedicated to maintaining the Church's Body as one of God - and maintain synchronicity with "the Complex".
The central body is tasked to keep watch over our treasures - and to maintain contact between Pools and organize into a central domain. Here, the Delta Command is tasked to create and maintain a unified social sphere; And the Delta Commander is Acting Officer of that Command.

Next to the Delta Commander is the Supreme Council - the central Twelve Heads of the Ekklesia - which are chosen from a Pool of Acolytes that form the body of the Ekklesia's inner workings.


So, Church at first is 'the Pool'. From among the High Priests, Acolytes are chosen - by them - to be the official representatives of it. They then organize into Hives arounnd Hive Buildings. Any one collective of close contemporaries can appoint an Acolyte. That is the first rank.
Those appointed High Priests are the second rank. From a collective of pools, high acolytes are chosen to represent the individual domains. These are the third rank.
They organize into their respective bodies, forming an internal clerical structures. These are separated into Ranks 4 and 5 - rank 4 ragarding internal and rank 5 regarding extrnal affairs.

Any one church at first requires access to Church Logistics. Church Logistics unifies assets and enables connectivity. The first separation is into Churches and Pools. Pools gather in Hives. Hives also maintain a local web following "the Blueprint".

These are, at first, communal hubs. That is, we put money into them for being - and appoint people to maintain them. We appoint High Priests to setup shop - and Acolytes to inhabit the buildings.
Any Church hereby comes in a number of Layers.

The Head Acolyte is head of a Church respective to their Acolyte Rank.
So, let's see.
Second Rank Acolytes only exist there, where the privilege of High Priest matters. So would it be from among High Priests that one gets chosen to be Acolyte. It is so up to a collective, to produce a place and appoint high priests. One group could, in this manner, post two Acolytes.

One nearby pool is chosen to be the central pool. This is where the Central Church is set. From here, the Acolytes organize the Hive Layout, work towards the consolidation of Nodes and ultimately the formation of a central council.


How ... and what, the numbers ...

Hmm ... what did I want to write about again? ... hmm ... never mind ...

Like ...

Start small. Is there a place, where you could build Gunpla? Or make a book? How about a Cannabis Club, where people can go and get high ... meditate and have various experiences? Guides that would help with this and that ... . With enough density we could then do things like neighbourhood improvements and further local endeavors.

Like ... Problem 1: Bring people together, to build an RG/MG kit, in a dedicated Workshop that is run by an amount of people - as financed by the collective. Do the same with other things - as needs and possibilities arise.

But ... outside of that ...

so ...


But what about Tigers and Dragons now?
