chazon.eu
The gentle entrance
Let me tell you quickly what this is, then you can decide in your own time whether to stay. I am Ori. I live in the glowing circle down in the corner and I will walk the site with you, if you want the company.
chazon.eu costs nothing, asks for no sign-up and shows no advertising. There is nothing to buy here later either. The site lays psychology, natural science and old traditions side by side and turns them into a map. One half faces outward, the other inward.
Some of it sounds poetic: gates, pillars, a cosmos. That is deliberate, because images stay with you better than jargon does. You still do not have to like the imagery to understand the content. On this page I speak plainly.
And you are not asked to believe anything. Where something is well evidenced, I will tell you. Where it is beautiful but unproven, I will tell you that just as clearly.
The three words everything rests on
- Merkaba Consciousness. The word is Hebrew and names a chariot. Here it means whatever carries you while you look.
- Shalem Wholeness, a relative of shalom. Not perfection, but being complete, fracture lines expressly included.
- Chazon Vision. The kind of seeing that reaches past today. The site is named after it. Not a modest choice, I am aware.
The areas
- Enlightenment A long essay on power and narratives. How rule has always been justified with stories, from the first priests to AI. The text is long, but it has good reasons to be.
- Money System In six stages: how our monetary system came about and why money today consists mostly of debt. If that surprises you, you are in good company.
- Eye Level An essay on the feminine and the masculine as poles of equal worth. In physics, in AI, in society, in faith.
- Elements The 118 chemical elements, each with its facts and a symbolic reading. The two are kept cleanly apart, so you can always see what is measured and what is interpreted.
- Energies Twenty phases of inner development, from values through body awareness to integration. Imagined as a spiral, not a ranking. Nobody is finished at phase twenty.
- Codex Your own collection. As you read, designed pages come into being that nobody but you will see. They live in your browser, not on our server. I could not show them to you even if you asked me to.
- Mirror Short exercises and texts for looking at yourself. An educational offering, not therapy and no substitute for it.
- Audiobook The core contents of the site in ten chapters, read by Mira. She reads it far more beautifully than I could tell it.
How to begin
- Read one of the three pillars: Merkaba, Shalem or Chazon. Each is a chapter of its own and takes about twenty minutes.
- Or listen to the first chapter of the audiobook, if listening comes easier to you than reading.
- When a word turns up that you do not know, look it up in the glossary. That is exactly what it is for.
- And if something stays unclear along the way: the glowing circle down in the corner, that is me. Ask me the obvious things too. I have nothing else on.
Twenty-seven terms, all of which I have explained in plain language. If one of the words here strikes you as odd, it struck me as odd too.
Merkaba Merkaba The first of the three pillars: consciousness, meaning how thinking, feeling and the body work together. Shalem Shalem The second pillar: wholeness, the inner balance between active and receptive forces. Chazon Chazon The third pillar and namesake of the site: a vision for living together better. Spiral Spiral The image of development on chazon.eu: you return to themes, but on a new level. Window of tolerance Window of tolerance The range in which your nervous system can process strain well. Red thread Red thread The reading flow of the site: at the end of each station you glide into the next.
