🧱 Recommended Ritual:
The Shard Practice
(Rite of Disciplined Seeing)
Purpose:
To train the mind to perceive without interpretation — and to anchor clarity as a physical, recurring discipline.
Instructions:
1. Acquire a shard.
A broken fragment of mirror, glass, stone, ceramic, or metal.
Do not choose it for beauty. Choose it for its incompleteness.
2. Place it somewhere visible.
Your desk. Your windowsill. Your writing table.
Let it sit there unlabeled and unexplained.
3. Once per day, observe it for 90 seconds.
No journaling. No analysis.
Just look. Let your mind resist the urge to interpret.
4. After 7 days, change its position.
Do not clean it. Do not frame it.
Displace it slightly — to acknowledge time has passed without clarity arriving.
5. Keep it for one month.
It is now your Clarity Shard.
It is not a memory. It is not a metaphor.
It is a discipline. A posture. A fragment of a whole that will never resolve.
Closing Statement:
This is the second rite.
It will not sharpen you. It will not complete you.
It will remain.
As clarity must.
