The seven spheres
- RefinedMoonConstancy — recognising the unmoving witness within the tides
- RefinedMercuryStraightforwardness — letting speech and thought travel the same straight road
- BindingVenusIllusory desire — love that projects the infinite onto finite objects
- RefinedSunHumility — shining on all things without claiming the credit of light
- BindingMarsReckless audacity — headlong collision that mistakes impatience for courage
- RefinedJupiterGenerosity — letting abundance flow through oneself without damming it
- BindingSaturnThe falsehood that lies in wait — the lie crouched at the boundary, calling the prison wall the edge of the world
