In The Wayfarer’s Tale, it was explained that Eios is the manifest Source, the Intentional essence pervading all of manifestation.

It is important to understand this concept intellectually, but how can one describe the sublime, fantastic and incredible experience of Eios? How can one describe the terrifying, precipitous, dizzying experience of union with that which connects all of existence?

With wonder and terror perfectly balanced, one walks a tightrope through the hall of the infinite. There are many gateways to this hall. Serendipitous occurrence, near-death experience, shamanic ecstasy, yogic exertion, music, diligent meditation, logical exploration, closeness to nature, pure intuition, empathic love and sexual union being among them.

With practice in the arts of Wayfaring, the Wayfarer becomes transparent, balancing the Sidia within, being humble, noble, sober and inspired, fully aware of responsibility and consequence, the individual and the universal not eliminated, the wonder and terror not abated, but instead fully fused together in a profound experience of The Real.

This state of emergence, like a fish jumping through the air and seeing that shining world for the first time. This “enlightenment”, like a light piercing the world, filling and fulfilling it, leaving all the same, and yet changed forever.

The dancing numina, ant-track teardrops of pure energetic potential, no longer veiled or obscured by any cumbersome interpretation, the direct perception of the ubiquitous Substance.

The eions, such incredibly strong Intention, sensed with the soul as much as perceived; each one containing its own Infinity, sensed as a wellspring of direct knowledge and Intention.

The cosmos revealed, filled with weighty meaning and purpose, yet light as a feather, as easy as laughter with friends, so profound and so irrelevant, a canvas awaiting the painter’s stroke.

Death stops by for a friendly chat, and you greet it with the secret handshake only Eios can provide.

It is only our own learned resistance to the manifest Source called Eios that prevents our emergence.

The art of Wayfaring is to solve our own puzzle, to unwrap layers of inner resistance like birthday presents, and finally to discard the irrelevant in order to make space for The Real.
