There are 5 modes of operation of the cosmos – creation, maintenance, destruction, delusion, and liberation. These operations then combine with themselves to create 25 modes in total.

These modes give us visibility of where we are in terms of our physical, physiological, psychological and consciousness levels of existence. The keywords quickly give us a snapshot of where we are, and allow us to consider where we need to move to in terms of operation.

Example:

Career: maintaining delusion> liberating liberation

Money: Maintaining creation> Creating Maintenance + liberating creation

Health: destroying maintenance> creating liberation

Relationship: maintaining delusion > Destroying Delusion

Love and romance: getting out of delusion maintenance > liberating destruction

Personal growth: maintaining creation> destroying destruction

Fun and recreation: getting out of delusional creation > Maintaining liberation

Physical environment: Destroying creation> Creating liberation

The choosing of modes of operations to describe our inner and outer, current and future states can help identify quickly strategies for change.
