09-14 upper fringe journey, normie facing

The best outline of the Pseudo-Autist’s normie facing journey that I have found is in the Fool’s Journey of the Tarot.

Not the entire Fool’s Journey. The FJ seems to be a cobbling together of several unrelated journeys. Cards 0 through 8 are what I could call the normie’s journey. Even fringe humans will go through these, but in altered forms.

Normies stop at card 8. Only High Functioning Normies even reach card 8. But the Pseudo-Autist has three more journeys before him, and two of them are found within the Fool’s Journey.

The normie facing journey is cards 9 through 14…

09 Hermit – non-Damaged Pseudo-Autist questions limits of the normie world he’s been brought up in. Is he really neorologically defective, or is he simply operating on a higher level? This could also represent the Forest Passage that the Damaged must complete.

10 Wheel of Fortune – the PA starts to see the normie world from outside. He solves for pattern. He notices that normie events run in cycles, and the cycles perpetuate precisely because the normies are blind to them. This is similar to Samsara, but it’s really just a stack overflow. The normies chase their own tails.

11 Justice – moral/ethical awakening. Pragmatic/consequentialist right and wrong informed by empirical good and bad, instead of just normie programming.

In cards 12 through 14, the normie facing journey takes on internal and spiritual aspects. The following could be considered a prequel to the spiritual journey:

12 Hanged Man – nigredo. Forced to live by faith. The PA comes to terms with limitations of the information available to him.

13 Death – clears clutter from life. That which does not help is a waste of scarce attentional bandwidth.

14 Temperance – integration of personality, harmony with outside world as learned skill. Mastery of normies. and also of himself.
