This is a follow-up to my 2 Game Theory post.

I thought I'd dive a little more into my frameworks: what I call Aorathian Room Mechanics. My frameworks are reverse-engineered from direct experience and are fairly aligned with Gnostic and Buddhist teachings, along with stuff like ACIM - though I'm no expert in any of the above. I suspect we're all seeing more or less the same thing through our own lens.

It's my intention through Room Mechanics to provide a more simplified and mechanical breakdown for those who are wary of the allegorical and mythic. I like to state things clearly as I see them and my work is aimed at those who share this value.

Next I'll share my notes on how creation works while in The Lab and will be developing this work into a gamified arena as we progress so stay tuned for that and let me know what your take is in the meantime.

- Robin Richardson

Settling into perfection can quickly become stuck in a rut.

Nature changes. What resists change calcifies

You and the world you live in only exist due to anomalous asymmetry, a divergence from the perfect balance between matter and anti-matter.

Your next adventure sits at the door of the imperfection you allow through questioning your assumptions, experimenting with new modes and environments, and allowing things to get messy.

PS: Much appreciation to those who are posting and promoting the deck when they get it. I love seeing it in your hands and hearing how much value it brings!

I'm working on a new deck based on my Room Mechanics (a framework that treats reality as a game that can be mastered once we learn the mechanics)

This deck is a follow-up to Aorathian Shadow Architecture. It will be less advisory, more contemplative and structural and will feature original felt pen illustrations by yours truly. It's still rough but thought I'd share as I go.

These two images are from the Archetypes suit - like the major arcana.

The minor will get into the mechanics themselves: expansion and contraction etc.

Also contemplating bringing in colour, either digital or pencil crayon.

Thoughts?

I am becoming increasingly convinced that Earth is a containment sim for high level creator beings. It keeps us in the slow-motion realm of the third dimension, constrained by time, space, and Newtonian causation until we can master ourselves enough to earn looser constraints and become more expansive creators.

Without the constrains we would be unbounded in our ability to create and may very well nightmare ourselves and others into oblivions.

Expanding from this, I think that the more nefarious forces on this planet have intentionally created a sort of counter force, rewarding a lack of self knowing and mastery in favour of external conquest that only digs beings more deeply into third dimensional indebtedness.

That's my theory. This is some art I made about it.

40 Diverge and Elevate

The game is counterintuitive. You are not here to win but rather to recognize when you've outgrown the current setting and learn to reprogram from inside it

Do different. Do better.

20 CERTAINTY SUFFOCATES TRUTH

Reality keeps itself interesting by undoing itself the moment it is actualized

Maintain openness to stay aligned as it evolves and remember: the moment you think you have reached the pinnacle, something bigger and badder will come around to humble you and rebalance the scales.

Shadow / Reverse

Unmoored, noncommittal, unable to orient to a single compass.

3 PRIMORDIAL INTELLIGENCE

Ancient and unknowable forces are at play here. They carry wisdom that is so complex and sophisticated that to the modern mind and all its limitations, it may seem absurd or incomprehensible. This intelligence is in every cell of your body and it operates independent of your understanding. This card asks you to step away from the limitations of the rational mind and accept the power and inevitability of deeper functions.

A large part of mastering reality is recognizing and accepting what’s beyond your control, and the intelligence of ancient processes is one of those things.

You are not the top of the food chain, and that’s okay.

Shadow / Reverse

Lost in the abyss.

42 WONDER

“People who wonder are wonderful”

— Paul Thornley

See the world with fresh eyes.

It’s time to step back from adult urgency and allow the marvels of the world around you to reveal themselves again. Notice the miracle of a plane staying in the air, the harmony of birdsong, or the brilliance of a new acquaintance. It is one thing to bring wonderful things into the world, and another to allow yourself to wonder at what is already there.

Beauty is amplified by your appreciation of it.

Shadow / Reverse

Naivety. Escapism. Using wonder to avoid discernment or responsibility.

What are your qualification for certainty? Have you really arrived at the truth or are you resting in a place that feels righteous but lacks full evidence? Many harms and much regret have come from people acting on inaccurate or half explored assumptions

Graceful Elevation

You are clear, and the clarity is a little uncomfortable because clarity eventually demands action. You have seen too much to stay in the position you have long held and recognize that it's time to move forward. This spread shows you how to graceful make your exit with tact, intelligence, and resourcefulness.

Don't burn bridged, but stay alert and respectful and honour the phase you are leasing as you discreetly plan your exit.

The next phase will feel like finally sitting at a table that is eager for you... the real you.

Diverge and Elevate

You have outgrown your current environment. What feels like discord and destruction is actually the process of shedding environmental skin in order to clear away the no-longer-resonant and make room for what is more aligned. Don't resist the increasing chaos but embrace it as a clearing out.

It's not that you don't belong, it's that you don't belong here.

And very soon you will find yourself at a table of people who have been waiting eagerly for your arrival.

This weekend was my first time giving live readings with the new deck and I have to say that this may be the most satisfying and rewarding thing I have ever done with my time.

Watching people tear up then smile with lightness and relief. Knowing that they will transcend the hardships they would have otherwise succumb to had they not sat down with me...there are no words for now rewarding this is.

I now have full confidence in my deck and in my ability to use it. And after everything I've been through and how hard I worked to get here, I feel this is well-worth celebration

It's spring and you're a human on planet earth. Get snacks, spin around, fall down, drink water.

There are mechanisms at play both in your body and in the physics of the universe that are wiser, smarter, and more efficient than you. Recognize and work with them rather than struggling against them and resistance will give way to flow and creation.
