Thank you for writing this series. It clarifies some of the more abstract but important concepts you teach. This one might be the hardest to grasp, and maybe that's the point. It seems much of this goes beyond intellectual understanding and needs the right experiences to truly grasp. Having this series laid out as you have done will help translate future experiences in that deeper understanding. Work in progress. Thanks again Jamie.
Keen , insightful and useful . Though I think that there is a interesting interpretation of the symbol of the cross that you may want to consider and possibly incorporate into that model ; I believe the cross itself symbolizes the intersection of the relative and the absolute the relative being the the horizontal and the vertical being the absolute .
The intersection of the relative and the absolute is the precise location of all human suffering , ( just ask Jesus (-: ) it’s only in the “ uncrossing “ of the cross that Freedom becomes possible, as it is said “ Nirvana and Samsara are not two “ or perhaps better said in the heart sutra “ Emptiness and Form are not Two “
for sure--thought I'd communicated that? ultimately, it's the intersection of Kairos and Chronos that holds the beating bleeding heart of Christ consciousness...
Jamie, I appreciate this. The paradox is the place to put our feet. How well [read: gracefully] we hold paradox will demonstrate our lived experience and historical lineages. The opportunity afoot is the maturation of American leadership to burn away the fear that there is ever anything to loose through transformation. Nothing short of this will meet the moment.
You clear did , I was suggesting that perhaps there is an additional perspective available in the uncrossing of the cross that doesn’t avoid feeling and witnessing all there is to feel and witness but doesn’t require suffering

The agony and the ecstasy. Really feeling that right now.
I am ready for burning man
Yes but there is some excellent material for some 4D jokes in the jestosphere that I can't stop contemplating.
Doing exactly what it seems like you should do is probably not the perfect formula?
