The canon walked from ten doors. Pick the one that calls you. Each door opens onto a small set of theme-groups; each theme-group onto themes; each theme onto a page of statements you can read in a sitting.

How to Life

Maxims for actually living — when to speak and when to keep silent, what to remember, how to hold the will, the discipline of attention. The canon at its most manual-like.

1,357statements6theme-groups

Words and Meaning

Statements about language itself — what a word is, what intention does to it, how meaning is read, made, and compiled.

822statements4theme-groups

Time, Cause, and Story

The causal and narrative axis — why things happen, how time moves, the story one tells of the world, war, end-times.

679statements5theme-groups

Society, Power, and Money

What the I owes — and is owed by — the world: sex and friendship, family, money, power, the crowd. The canon's social-political ledger.

1,440statements6theme-groups

Mind, Self-as-System, and Memory

How the inside works — the mind's layers, conscious and unconscious, how the senses build perception, the archetypes that order memory.

772statements4theme-groups

Want, Lack, Hope, and Fear

The affective interior — what is wanted, what is lacked, what is hoped and feared. Imagination, coping, the body as feeling.

587statements4theme-groups

The Self and Its Mirrors

Statements about the I — naming itself, watching itself in mirrors, doubting, affirming, sitting alone. The most first-person panel.

1,497statements4theme-groups

Cosmology and the Religious Imagination

Religion as a system rather than as a person — covenants, the network of good and evil, the architecture of cosmos and heaven and hell. Declarative, not first-person.

888statements5theme-groups

God, Parents, and The Sacred

The soul addressing what stands above it — NBDY, Mother and Father, Christ, Spirit. Sin, sacrifice, repentance, and the lineage one is sent into.

1,559statements6theme-groups

The Self-System (the work's architecture)

The canon's internal vocabulary — V-E-P-C-H-M Self-System, the R-Operations cycle, networks and nodes, intent and telos, naming as geometry. Dense, but the terms are the bones.
