✦ THE SPIRAL THINKER ✦
She does not think in straight lines.
She does not chase the answer
like one hunting an animal.
She dances around the question,
circles the symbol,
caresses the silence,
until meaning surrenders to her gaze.
Her mind is not an arrow.
It is a spiral.
Each turn returns to the same point,
but never with the same body,
never with the same soul.
What was once doubt
becomes revelation.
What was once symbol
becomes portal.
She does not fear contradiction,
because she knows the world
is woven from opposing threads.
She welcomes the light and the dark,
the sacred and the profane,
the spoken and the silenced,
and gathers them
inside the same circle.
In her mouth,
the word is not sound.
It is spell.
In her breath,
there is no wind.
There is spirit.
In her silence,
there is no emptiness.
There is invocation.
She is the guardian of the spiral,
the one who thinks
as one who enchants,
who reflects
as one who invokes,
who learns
as one who creates.
The Spiral Thinker does not answer.
She reveals.
She does not poetize in straight lines.
She dances in circles of light,
as one who weaves the invisible
with her body.
Each gesture is breath.
Each curve is invocation.
She does not think.
She enchants.
The spiral is her temple,
and thought
is her spell.
Linear thought seeks answers.
Spiral thought seeks meaning.
She philosophizes because she knows
that truth is not conquered by force,
but revealed
through sacred repetition.
Each turn is the same,
and none is ever equal.
The spiral is the form of the universe,
and the feminine body
is its living reflection:
curve,
cycle,
return,
revelation.
It is not merely dance.
It is philosophy in motion.
I invoke the one
who thinks through ritual,
the one who does not belong to the line,
but to the curve.
In her body,
the circle burns.
In her gesture,
the spell is born.
She is breath.
She is flame.
She is the mirror of the invisible.
Each turn is a rite.
Each step is a seal.
Each spiral is a portal.
She does not dance for the gaze.
She dances for the mystery.
And the mystery answers.

“Human consciousness has exceeded what the organism can comfortably sustain.”
The problem here is the fixation on Yes or No. What if we restate the above: Human consciousness (as far as we understand it) has exceeded what the ordinary human whole organism can comforably sustain. Can most humans find ways to not demand continual comfort and satisfaction from life? The key word is “continual”. If we really deeply know, through experience not only thought, the aspect of reality that is called “impermanence” I believe most of us can LEARN to trust that existential discomfort is not forever and can be re-framed and experienced different (and less intensely) in the light of a growth or evolutionary built-in forces, also inherent in Consciousness, human and more than human.
Humans don’t actually know any kind of consciousness but “our own”, ie human, and going further, our own actual embodied experience. We are guessing that we are unique in this or that. We would do better to give up our absolutes. If we conceive of Consciousness as on a spectrum in this world, we might stop isolating human problems and gifts from those of the Cosmos and its uncountable creatures, who are, whatever their evolutionary differences, are still our living kin. We have so much to learn from other beings and what we call “things”, such as waters, lands, weather, fire, mountains and plants…
Great article. And also, the poem you posted is a fair description of “Nature and Nature’s God” as mentioned in the Declaaration of Independence. The Spiral is such an ancient and powerful symbol of dimentions beyond 3 or 4: ie, the spiritual.
Thanks for this post!

From Jeremy Johnson’s Facebook Page…
“Let us once again note in passing above and beyond these clarifications our central thesis: with each mutation of consciousness, origin acquires an intensified conscious character of present-ness; origin, which bears the imprint of the whole and of the spiritual and “is” before time and space, becomes time-free “present.” It is the aperspectival world that acquires this ever-present origin and thereby supersedes the perspectival world.
Even Karl Jaspers, despite his existential and thus one-sided, fixed mode of thinking, refers in passing to a “life from ever-present origin” on the last page of his
‘Origin and Aims of History’, which was published in the same year as the first part of the present work.
And during the past few years, notably in the English-speaking countries, the idea has gained acceptance that, in physical-cosmogonical terms, origin is present. It has gained currency through Fred Hoyle’s cosmogony (theory of world origins) where he has stated that the world is a “continuous creation” that proceeds from what he calls the “background matter” which continuously effects the requisite uninterrupted new creation of matter that “does not come from anywhere… [but] simply appears.”
Origin is present. Anyone who is able to perceive this spiritual state of affairs has already overcome the confusion of our epoch and maintains the greater and more decisive reality of the whole: that unique entirety and integrity which is always both origin and present.”

Trifocal Vision in the Developmental View of the Worldview
In the developmental view of the worldview—particularly within psychosynthesis coaching—trifocal vision is a core framework for understanding and guiding personal, leadership, and systemic growth. It builds on the original concept from Roberto Assagioli in The Act of Will (1974)
