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
- RefinedMarsTempered courage — the strength that knows what is fearful and advances nonetheless
- BindingJupiterGreed for wealth — the insatiable hoarding of abundance
- BindingSaturnThe falsehood that lies in wait — the lie crouched at the boundary, calling the prison wall the edge of the world
