5 ways to Achieve Rational Embodiment
Rational embodiment is a way of perceiving the world devoid of any superstition and prejudgement.

Rational embodiment is a perfect balance and harmony between thinking and way of action. It is a state of a supreme sense of individual freedom in perfect balance with responsibilities and duties to family, country, state, city and culture.
Modern Archaeologists still dig for clues in the dirt trying to understand the ancient Hellenes by unearthing pottery shards or partial manuscripts; copies of copies of copies...
How can we ever understand who they were without knowing their state of consciousness?
I believe Rational embodiment is the consciousness that gave birth to the ancient Hellenic culture and created what has been called The Hellenic Miracle. Miracle was the only way this rapid evolution of mankind could be explained. It was a mystery; an enigma that was waiting to be deciphered. Academic attempts to uncover the root cause for this rapid evolution of a whole culture have failed to fully explain what occurred during a short period during the 6th and 5th century B.C. in Athens.
The evidence of rational embodiment is all around us. It is embedded in the original statues and temples built by this unique ancient Hellenic rational embodiment society.
Humanity is at the brink of destruction. Our failed policies have caused more wars, more suffering and death and a vast amount of pollution that is endangering our water supply, our air, and our food supply leading to an increase of disease and premature death or suffering with chronic symptoms.
The only consciousness that can solve and reverse our present civilizations is the consciousness that invented it.
How I discovered rational embodiment first stage Perspectivism
I was a voracious reader from a very young age. My family moved to Canada from Greece when I was 9 years old and I had to learn new language and new culture. This was the beginning of my journey into the first stage of rational embodiment; perspectivism.
My first encounter with perspectivism was a gift from my grandfather. When I saw him for the last time before my family moved to Canada he took me aside and gave me the first and most lasting example of perspectivism. To this day, I don’t know if the story he told me was true; he was a great story teller and would often make up stories to entertain us; but truth is not relevant in this case because it had a powerful and lasting effect on me. He recounted his time spending time with English people during WWI. “Be very careful when you sit to eat with English people; never burp during a meal. They will think you are a barbarian. But then he added: “At the end of the meal when they start farting to pretend you don’t smell it.” The smell of food and the smell of the toilet in the same room. This was a very scary thought for a 9-year-old about to go to a land full of English people.
Perhaps without even realizing it my storytelling grandfather had just given me the greatest gift; it put me on the road that would eventually lead me to rational embodiment.
In school, I would avoid eating in the cafeteria with the other students so I did not easily make friends. It was also a way to avoid the bullies in school. I spent a lot of time in the library and observing my fellow students to find out if they had other strange behaviour patterns.
Observation the second stage of rational embodiment
Everyone thought I was very shy; I thought I was shy as well. But it was a different type of shyness; I was observing my environment before I acted. I then began to read books so I could observe the lives of others to get insight on how to deal with these different cultures; in my school the English were not the majority. There was a large influx of immigrants from Italy, Portugal, the Caribbean, South America and the far east all of them with their own peculiar behaviour patterns.
Pattern recognition the third stage of rational embodiment
My observations were not very developed intellectually. I did not analyze and try to figure out too much. I was too young; 9–15 years of age and not capable of detailed intellectual analysis. I read biographies because I was looking for behaviour patterns and received a great deal of philosophical knowledge as a by-product of seeing how they developed from childhood into major philosophical figures; Nietzsche was my favourite because he used a lot of aphorisms and he had a very different way of perception. He would draw me into his world to see it through his eyes.
Seeing through other peoples eyes the fourth stage of rational embodiment
Many times, I would wonder what was on other people’s minds that would cause them to act irrationally or in unexpected ways. Pattern recognition did not go deep enough to capture the underlying reasons for action or reaction. Observing my fellow students like a scientist observes mice in a maze was my daily entertainment in class and in the schoolyard. At a certain point, I attained a moment of clarity and I saw the underlying motivating factor in all of them as it was in myself; FEAR.
Overcoming FEAR is the fifth stage of rational embodiment
FEAR is the last and biggest barrier you will face on the road to rational embodiment. Fear is the result of not understanding perspectivism, not being able to observe your environment, not being able to recognize patterns of behaviour in others but most importantly in yourselves, not being able to allow yourself to see reality through someone else’s eyes.
FEAR dissolves when use perspectivism to observe your environment recognize patterns of behaviour in your self and others, and allow yourself to see reality through someone else’s eyes… you will come to realize that everyone else is just as scared or even more than you are. FEAR will dissolve. You will become fearless. You will perceive those around you as they are; scared little boys and girls in the school yard trying to pretend they are not. You will be on your way to realizing your greatest potential. This is the real secret of the ancient Hellenes success; overcoming fear of the unknown.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
