Not everything can be tweeted. Not everything can be simplified.
In a recent attempt to answer a complex question to sunpaw, I wrote a three part monster post where I described my world view, my operational assumptions and some of my operational protocols. Here
(http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?96344-To-answer-sunpaw-s-question-the-most-significant-improvement-Hope-Enthusiam)
I explain how I have adopted the world view best known as 'monistic idealism' - that consciousness has primacy over all.
I describe my own 'next step down' from this world view where I break apart the various points of view found within 'the Big Me that I Am' which is what I call Level One.
Level Three is this 'me,' Sam Hunter, his story and this one life.
Between the Big Me and Sam Hunter is Level Two. Level Two is simply the hope/desire that I, Sam Hunter, has such that my individuation does not end with the death of Sam Hunter's physical body. I refer to this theoretical expression as "the individuated spirit being."
Now, based on some of the ways I have interpreted Gnostic myths, I break Level Two into two parts. Level Two A is the "free individuated spirit being" and Level Two B is "the individuated spirit being captured within the realm of the fallen Sophia and her 'son,' the demiurge."
What is wonderful to experience is that from the same source where I discovered Bernardo Kastrop whose works assisted me in solidifying my world view and my primary operational assumption (My Three Levels view where Level Two has two sub levels) I have also been able to find interviews of one of the most interesting "Gnostics" of our day, Miguel Conner.
