Cogniventive Framework C (table)

“I admire Marlon’s talent, but I don’t envy the pain that created it.”—Anthony Quinn on Brando.

This pathway is best suited for extremely devoted students who are willing to work diligently without expectation of any success, or intensely hungry people who are not easily satiated by the elusive joys of living.

Never try to create your own path to self-knowledge unless you are prepared to sacrifice without reward. When your own self-interest becomes secondary to a  pragmatic search for personal, historical and universal truths, forces will be unleashed in your life over which you will have little control. Better never to start than begin and give it less than your best effort, as your new pathway will swallow you up if you hesitate in your conviction. There is no shortcut to self-knowledge, no half-way houses, no lunch breaks, no working with a net.

Gurus in all guises have been alerting people to this danger throughout Mankind’s history. Evangelicals warn us that announcing our intention to follow Jesus arouses the
Devil, who will conspire to defeat us even more vigorously. The psychoanalyst  cautions us about the reactionary power of the shadow-self coming into the light. The Buddhist counsels us that cosmic accounts will be settled when long buried  karmic seeds begin to sprout. And we all know that it gets worse before it gets  better.

I spent over 50 years creating my own life, becoming exactly the person I was designed to be. Then the World shouted to me a resounding “No, Thanks!” My main hope in bringing this material to public is that a less karmically challenged soul will pick up the cogniventive mantle where I left off and push it even further.

Once again, questions 1-4 are activated to their respective Addiction Recovery modules to put the final touches on my paradigm-shifting homage to Homo Volitio. Modules 5-10 will be up and running at some later date.
