Living stories and metaphors
Amor Fati

A further deepening and informed simplification of religious experience occurs at this stage. The metaphors and rituals of one’s chosen religion are so thoroughly understood that they are experienced intensely and almost literally. There is a conscious opening to the numinosity of symbols and archetypes, which are palpable in dreams and engaging media. This represents the culmination of the relationship with the divine or the mystery of life, with identification beginning to take shape.

Karma becomes more finely distinguished into personal, relational, group, and humanity karma. While opponents and wrongdoers can still be held accountable, it is done more from a sense of complicity, recognising one’s own role in the situation. This mindset aligns with ‘Amor Fati’, the love of fate, embracing what happens and growing stronger through it. The fate of humanity is viewed as an invitation to take co-responsibility for Creation, furthering personal growth and development.

In Bitcoin-Leadership this step is crucial. It involves enriching our souls with the sense of magic and depth experienced in childhood and adolescence. It’s where we learn to think in metaphors, akin to Michael Saylor’s statement: “Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy.” This moment marks our access to a world where such assertions are not just metaphorical but literally true. It signifies an intimate opening to a religious experience while retaining intellectual clarity.
