A post under construction – will be ready in a day or two…
Earlier we have shown that dialectic wheels can uncover the deeper meanings of any concepts, presenting them as actionable roadmaps from risks to goals and obligations. Ther following schemes exemplify this for T = Love.
Scheme A shows how the simples wheel is obtained. Love generates its antithesis in Indifference, which then transforms into Wisdom through opposition to Love’s extreme as Insanity. This yields the profound dynamic equilibrium: true Love requires Wisdom to avoid blind passion, while cold Indifference can be transformed into Wisdom through conscious opposition to Insanity. Scheme B shows the complete wheel, where Love is obtained via Freedom, while Wisdom thtriough devotion. Downgrading Freedom to Betrayal makes Wisdom to transform to Insanity rather than Love, while downgrading Devotions to Bondage makes Love to transform to Indifference rather than Wisdom. These transformations indicate eternal truths that we can easily forget due to focusing on inessential details. Therefore it is worthwile presenting them in a form of piece of art, like as exemplified in scheme C, that maps transformation paths between states of being using the medieval style.
But that’s only beginning of the story. The following Figure extends the wheel into a much more complete map of love’s evolution and devolution, showing both the path to integration and the risks of forced regression. Clockwise transformations show the path to eternal Love, counterclockwise – to disintegration.
The diagonal connections are key – they create the centripetal force when followed clockwise, uniting all virtues into higher consciousness. But when reversed, these same diagonals become paths of disintegration, each forced reversal creating shadow aspects that spin outward through centrifugal force.
Dialectic wheel is a way to self-acceptance, as it condenses all the most precious words into a single map. If after constructing a dialectical wheel you’re still unhappy, this merans that you are short of words, you can\t name what’s most important, hence -you must stop thinking and start devoting yourself to something practical. That’s it – the words no longer work, and only spiritual; practice canm help.
Personal Wheel = A way to Self-Acceptance
DIAL Wheels as Wisdom Gems
Dialectical wheels enable us to uncover the deeper meanings of any word, concept, thesis, value, into an actionable roadmap.
So they uniquely combine our rational thinking with our most precious values and concerns. When mapped together, these words become a guide to nurturing yourself, a Path to Self-Acceptance.
If your wheel feels incomplete, it’s just showing where you need direct experience rather than words. Each word should be weighted and crafted with great care, as the result will determine who you are. It is a path to Serlf-Acceptance, an ultimate gatewy to happiness that unites your mind, values, and spirit. It should therefore be presented as a piece of art, a presious gem of wisdom that nurures the essence of a given concept.
Often one considers several variants of wheel, before finalizing one, like in FIG. 1 (for T = Love).
Different wheels can ber combined into a one with more details, like in FIG. 2
The third wheel (C) presents the most complete journey through the dynamics of Love. Love stands at the center, radiating into different paths of transformation. Through Devotion, Love can lead to either peaceful commitment or restrictive Bondage. Through Discernment, it evolves into either wise understanding or rigid Hate. Through Acceptance, it flows into either open-hearted wisdom or naive Gullibility. And through Awakening, it transforms into either liberating wisdom or destructive Conflict. Each path reveals how Love’s pure essence can either elevate through conscious awareness (inner circle) or deteriorate through unconscious extremes (outer circle). Peace counters Conflict, Discernment balances Gullibility, Awakening opposes Sleep, and Wisdom provides the stabilizing force that prevents Love from descending into Insanity. This wheel becomes a map of consciousness where Love’s journey through various states of being ultimately teaches us that balanced awareness and wise discernment are crucial for preventing love’s pure energy from crystallizing into its shadow extremes.
