I love the quantification of 0.0004%!
Gave me a new conceptual visualization :)))
I associate that also with Barbara Ehrenreich's idea that hominids lived as a species of prey for all but the last 4% of our history.
Which may explain some of humanity's perceptual maladaptations.
"I am the defense early warning radar system. / I see nothing but bombs."

I see the function of art and magic as consciously curating which 0.0004% we tune in, without forgetting that it remains merely a different abstraction of an incomprehensible whole.
The pyramid vs. network dichotomy works perfectly!
And clearly the social isolation of ascending the hierarchy does the aspirant no favors. These folks become sick with excessive wealth and power, they actually suffer from it. "This is a rescue mission."
Re-reading the Book of the Law the other day and was struck by AC's description of the societal ills of his era in the intro, and how they pretty much exactly match our current predicament. At least in the very broad strokes he was sketching with.
The surface level details move very quickly, but the underlining structure moves very slowly?
I think I have my take on the Thelemic Aeons worked out.
Keeping AC's three stage cycle and adding Ma'at as a meta/non-local paradigm.
Assessable during any of the other three aeons, because it exists outside of time.
The Aeon of Ma'at is spread about the earth, but men do not see it!
That sort of thing. Solves the concurrent aeon problem, keeps AC's original structure, and encodes a winner script for any future aeon.
Right now I'm dealing with Aiwass before the door of the law (Agnosis! #3) and Sigismundo Celine down in the hollow earth (HTOI #1), but after I get through those gauntlets, THE HEAP can emerge from the mycelium network :)))
Oh ha! "Shite version," not like poorly developed, but actual excrement, detritus, fertilizer, and nutritious substratum. I can dig it!
Merrily we roll along <3<3<3
