First time i've asked a question that didn't get me chewed out in a long while lol. Thank you for your consistent honesty with us all. Glad you're taking your time with things going forward. See you on the flipside Homo Sideralis.
I still think you and Matthieu are doing the same things, haha.
For example: Your "puzzle method", and his "rumination" seem to be functionally the same. It's about encountering a problem (stumbling stone) that's outside the known rational framework that requires a higher perspective to solve.
Matthieu often talks about how the stumbling stone encodes information that is needed for the future. He says that "in the symbolism of The Stumbling Stone there's the symbol of the the riddle or the lock and there's also the symbol of the key or the answer to the riddle".
When the future arrives and the creator of the world subsumes the problem, the rejected stumbling stone transforms into the "Pinnacle stone" or "Keystone". This pinnacle stone serves as the ultimate foundational principle of a new "meta-space," meaning the previously unusable information has become the absolute solution.
Constellation, using his language, is about learning to see the stumbling stone from the patterns of exile that you live out in your own symbolic set. Once you see the pattern you can more easily see it from above and align your actions to the pattern and prevent the mistakes that keep you in that pattern of exile.
If you can see the pattern with your own symbolic set you can more easily navigate the maze/exile. You're seeing the world from above by reading the pattern from below.
Hopefully that makes sense. Please let me know if you think I'm wrong, I'd like to know where you disagree.
I don't disagree that the formula is the same, and it should be the same in the final analysis unless there were some major disagreement between the two of us.
So if we look at Secret Passage Theory:
The image of a "secret passage" came from a story I was writing called Wild Dogs.
The interpretation of that image came from my own synchronicities.
The symbolism used (ribbons of film, pyramids, etc.) came from my own visionary material.
The picture of spinal tunneling (the cube shrinking down into a potentiality space and targeting a specific attractor state) I modeled off of the Quaternity Test.
The only thing that is not derived from my lived experience is the iconographic metaphysics that goes in at the very end.
So we can say that eventually it's the same thing if you step way back and look at the total process, because the last step is: "Oh, this is the pattern of the incarnation."
And if the last step doesn't look like that, I did something wrong.
But it's reaching very deep into unmapped territory, it stays there a really long time and the steps before the final one are very "gnostic." I'm basically typologizing events from my own life as if it were a Biblical story, and I'm totally comfortable doing that and working with only that private language for months at a time. It only has to connect to the standard dictionary at the end.
Matthieu may very well be doing that, but it's not what he talks about publicly and it's definitely not what he teaches.
I mean, I made my cosmogram by extending what I learned from his brother, but I think I've innovated in ways they wouldn't be entirely comfortable with.
I think if you asked either of them a similar question, they would draw a similar boundary (albeit from a more conservative point of view). If I'm wrong about that, I'd reconsider my position. But the basis of my opinion is that I think he and I would both emphasize differences rather than similarities.
Awesome Q&A. Always the thing with this sort of information, I want more answers lmao. But it is best to leave the people wanting more. I know you have answered many questions and that there was only a limit of 1 but I was wondering if you could help with a theory I have about synchronicity and prediction. Does synchronicity have a wave function through time? similar to a ripple on water and if properly recorded you would be able to predict events near on exactly. This would also mean that there is a trough to synchronicity. I believe from what I have researched synchronicity operates this way however I do not know what a trough synchronicity would look like. Or maybe a better world would be negative synchronicity. This is puzzling to me because there should be some sort of pattern and while its easy to identify the crests the troughs are much tougher. Just something I have been thinking of. I welcome anyone to help me out as well :)
Obviously I'm just putting this here not to be bombastic or demanding. I know I am being forward asking another question, so no pressure responding. I am just curious lmao.
I look forward to what you make next. As always, your work is brilliant.
Thank you for reading and your time. Wish you well.
Zell once told me that "everything ripples" and I have to listen to her because she can see the ripples and they won't line up right if I don't. But in her picture, it was more like everything is rippling and synchronicity is an emergent property of that
This is speaking from the horizontal perspective. From a vertical perspective, the synchronicity (or the symbolic) happens "first" and the supporting context happens "later." Both of these are apparently equally accurate and valid pictures of reality analogous to the Heavenly (vertical) and Earthly (horizontal) perspectives.
As an addendum: these are non-contradictory pictures because at the grandest scale, the prototype of the ontologically primary symbolic event which any given synchronicity echoes can be said to have entered history at some primordial time. This is what is hinted at in On the Ninth Day and that matryoshka structure. Our whole world is a ripple of a world both metaphysically and chronologically anterior to itself.
Thank you for your response. I do really appreciate it, keep yourself well my man :) also eagles are a kingly bird and majestic. I like your choice lmao
Also just while its on my mind, if the crest of synchronicity happens first (or the symbolic) then the trough is actually the literal or physical. If this is true its essentially beating like a instrument (And I would imagine that there is a full orchestral). And if I was to go further into this analogy, this would mean the place you are in would indicate how loud you hear, how much it echo's, even how you respond to it. Too close and it shakes you making you death, too far away and its to muted unable to hear, good room acoustics and you would be able to tell every instrument from each other.
From my experience this is break through because I would have a synchronicity and be hell bent on finding the meaning almost like putting the base right up to the point everything else is distorted, which is why I was unable to find the literal or physical because it was drowned out by only one noise I wanted to hear. If anyone has any thoughts please share :)
I like this thinking, but i would rather say that it is like not being able to recognize the general melody if you are too close to ex. the tuba. Or perhaps you are listening to your own breathing. So while the idea of positioning in a room is a useful metaphor, it has to be complemented with metaphors of focus and perspective and (as you imply) harmony to arrive at some better picture of how you effectively "zoom out" to hear the melody that carries actual information, rather than focusing on noise.
I might add that we might be like bats listening to this orchestra, so to position ourselves correctly in order to focus and have the right perspective we have to triangulate the positions of all things, also with our own sound... so we are a part of the orchestra, or often, the noise.
Interesting sidenote, Schopenhauer was of the opinion that music is the most direct emanation/manifestation of the numinous.
Recently I relistened ‘The Fourth Dimension’ and ‘The Human Being As Body And Soul’ by Rudolf Steiner.
In one of those lectures, Steiner said that Einstein’s General Relativity bears no relation to tangible reality and is only ever the most abstract of phantasms.
That’s an interesting take as well.
Nonetheless, your take is always very very welcome in my book; thank you for the wonderful Q&A!
I think Steiner's greatest strength and greatest weakness is that he trusted his own intuition 100% of the time and I think it was more often a weakness.
"Physical systems evolve in accordance with the structure of teleology." Reminds me of Whitehead!
This was, once again, phenomenal. Thank you for your time & effort, these Q&A's are a pleasure to listen to and I appreciate what it takes to get them out. Hope you get some good sleep!
Fair enough. The first time I hung out with my now girlfriend she came over for a tarot reading 💀 but I haven’t touched my cards since I began attending Orthodox Liturgy 8 months ago. Thanks for the response. I keep you in my daily prayers.
Appreciate the commitment to your subscribers & fans in going through and answering all of our questions. Looking forward to your video essays again. Be blessed.
I think it's time to disclose that it's possible that I'm involved in the Second Sifting, now that Gryphon has stated it as a named phenomenon. I’ve experienced a series of highly disturbing phenomenon since January 2025, some of which Gryphon has hinted at in the past. I've been operating under the assumption that sharing my story would do more harm than good, as I would have no idea who might see it or how it might affect them, however I am open to sharing details in the future. I believe something evil is trying to recruit me, partially by pretending to be something good. That’s why I asked the question about secret societies, although to be clear I’m not affiliated with any organizations nor do I intend to. Be very careful with this work, especially if you have underlying psychological vulnerabilities. As Gryphon has stated before, there is a fake version of constellation that can be highly seductive to those who are impure or ignorant about what they're getting into. I hope that simply trying to live a normal life and maintain my sanity will be sufficient for now, as I really don't know how else to handle this.
Regarding the DMT creature giving you the Escher cube and the theory that this is meant to hypnotize the rational mind for infiltration of the irrational: I wouldn't doubt it at all. As an analytical person who at certain times has been fascinated by math and geometry, I have had to entirely avoid those pursuits unless they become absolutely necessary for work. The counting of lines and vertices, making tables of polyhedra, all out of "curiosity" to "generalize and systematize"... These pursuits were as hypnotizing to me as the unintegrable Escher staircase seems to have been intended to be. My heart finally broke me off from those pursuits after getting louder and louder about it: literally, I began to almost panic whenever deciding to spend idle time on geometry. I've been "clean" for some time, but it sucks that even innocent seeming things like that can be used against you. This was, silver linings I guess, how I learned to listen to the wisdom in my heart, which I suppose is how my anima speaks. "She," if I can muster the pretention to claim contact, hates math for this reason. Now it's another of those things that tries to tempt me, now and again. So, uh, moral of the story...don't be lame and get addicted to math-turbation!
I am so glad you share my view on how the enemy works. I was a little stressed out about that for a while, probably should have just asked

At the very least, that's what I've been doing too using his work and I've had a lot of success with it

Transcending our own patterns of exile is such a perfect way to see it. Thank you, I love that
