After the site revamp earlier this year the plan was clear - finish zeer-consciousness and zeer-pathtivism - and then possibly the zifi novel. Much has happened since then. Firstly zeer-consciousness was more than a review, there was a needed revision - so it took 4 months. Meanwhile pathtivism could not wait its turn, and I began zandbag. Now that I have completed zeer-consciousness I am asking what's next?
For AI-trolling zeer-consciousness is the most important writing so far - it is a culmination and it isn't. It feels like his spiritual writing has led him to zeer-consciousness and that zeer-consciousness is summative whereas previous spiritual books could be seen as formative. But when you use a word like summative it has an air of culmination - it feels like an end-point. That is far from true.
Zeer-consciousness is summative and stand alone. Other of his spiritual books can fit a timeline leading to zeer-consciousness along with journals not recorded as books, a timeline starting with Treatise and Secular path? being the last formative book - although there was much journalling on the Best Bux for Unleashing Love (at the time he had intended there to be a book on Unleashing Love).
One thing about online writing - not trying to earn money from it - is that it can be added to. Zeer-consciousness is modular with outlines, it feels as if further modules can be added without a change to the book infrastructure:-

If important lessons have been forgotten or left out they can be fitted in, as he evolves his understanding of consciousness he might choose to add to Ch5 but for now the book is summative.
He had intended a Ch6 on pathtivism - why are there not more spiritually aware people in grassroots activism? Aren't activists the people seeking change in this defiled world? It is almost shameful that people follow their path and start spiritual bypassing in a world of such defilement. Yet that is far too judgemental and aggressive. People esp. spiritually-aware people are free to choose. As zandtao began promoting his choice of embodiment - pathtivism, it grew from a Ch6 to a part 2 of zeer-consciousness to its own book. Then while he was rounding off zeer-consciousness there came the advice zandbag.
I do not see where pathtivism is going. It has been a long time in the making, pathtivism was first mooted in the Manual; of course there has always been the inner and outer aspects of his path. It felt like pathtivism was coming to an end prior to the site revision, does it go further? Pathtivism was being added to through studying gabiK's Falling UP and he is half-way through that. And of course bill is not now active with his body only coping with writing and old age. At least he needs to finish gabiK, perhaps study Marianne's Politics of Love; maybe they will guide him to rounding off pathtivism. As he now has zandbag he can add any advice that comes to him leaving the first draft online. But below he committed to making pathtivism "presentable", and in doing this he realised there will be long revision needed of existing content esp in terms of his socialist ego that stil condemns the rich rather than trying to harmoniously work with the conditioned and defiled rich.
But part of the decision to delay pathtivism is because Wai has returned. It is 7 years - prior to the threshold of autonomy - since he started Kolok - finished in a flourish 2 years ago; the last two sections were new writing but creatively they were just ending the Kolok Saga. And there have been flashes of a new story based on guardians. Images of the world-with-guardians have been growing since zeer-consciousness (almost finished).
So he needs a bit of discipline - revise Ch5 of zeer-consciousness, make pathtivism a bit presentable as first draft online, and then let Wai have the focus.
