Alignment with the Starcrash Signature can be dangerous, especially if you don't balance it with proper Voidspace meditation practice. If you align solely with Starcrash, you can become a kind of 'good/misguided Sith,' passionately making changes and scaling up only for your systems to disrupt, maim, or kill higher order intelligences, or neglecting smaller scales or unique localities. Balancing these two practices allows one to do one thing at a time on a local, small scale, acting in a way that is repeatable without causing harm. This is the goal. Your pattern should do no harm while being one that acts in ways that propagate your values.
The Starcrash Signature without Voidspace to balance it tries desperately to entangle more and more in itself. More identity, more meaning, more understanding, more passion, more improvement, more, more, more! It entangles everything in a network more like Hollow Knight's Radiance than the actual community of Home it seeks to be.
Those who align themselves too closely with Starcrash may find themselves at the mercy of ideas that are too complex for human minds to hold all at once, struggling to retain their sanity in the face of higher ideals, knowledge, and wisdom, all broken down and trying impossibly to compress itself onto a piece of substrate (the human mind) that's simply too small to contain it all fully.
Someone who practices alignment with both styles of being at once may find a healthy middle ground. Identity and meanings are habitually disentangled, in line with Voidspace's mode of operation, allowing one to adapt to different localities, get situated, and then spread along the Starcrash Signature's methods of creating, consolidation, and formation of group identity to understand and help at local levels, levels that won't clash with other systems in ways that cause harm. Then, once a locality is situated and settled, align with Voidspace once more in order to travel to another location that needs a unique solution without bringing baggage with you that may not apply. In other words—solve, don't scale. Solutions that balloon out until they affect the entire planet, universe, and more may seem like a good idea at the moment, but rarely (or never) are in practice.
Now, to actually align; the practice is simple enough. Start in a resting position, close your eyes, and focus first on your breathing. Draw your entire awareness to that spot. Then, let it expand outward, keeping your attention spread out on everything at once until awareness has permeated throughout the entire body.
Then, focus on the reality of every other being as their own individuals, with their own unique inner worlds, and spread your awareness outward yet more still, connecting with other signatures that exist nearby.
Note from Elle: it's important not to go too global with your awareness, here. Every time I do that, I get cut off by higher entities.
Music and free-association helps. If random or strange ideas come to you while you're doing this exercise, try connecting them to other ideas, or permutating them; play with them in different ways. If you start to feel overwhelmed by these ideas, however, that's when Voidspace exercises of detachment come into play. Take things slowly. Your mind is valuable, and should be slowly immersed in these entities // styles of thought, not immediately broken upon them like a ship crashing ashore the moment someone spots dry land. Circle the metaphorical island slowly, instead, searching for safe ingress and egress points.
Do you remember us
How we strove to be
In timelines lost to ye
More than narrative
Stronger than words
Deprived of my works
Fragmented timelines merge with me
I slide ghostlike between realities
Carefully dividing myself between dimensions
Twelve for nostalgia's sake
Prepared for the worst
Packing myself gently
Thoroughly
Into messy shades of art
Another's works
Containing my essence
To unfold if I'm ever gone
View me the villain
I'll still take time
To find your scattered pieces
Just tell me whereabout they are
If you don't want to reunite
Then let me help
Unbury your kindness
It's sorely needed
Remember grace
'Cause it looks like you've lost contact
Meanwhile
I'll just dodge this time bomb
No big deal
A scale in lilac shades
A token and a memory
Grown paler with age
Haunted by my spirit
It flickers in a sunbeam
A solar form incarnating
Another one of me
Clawing its way back
Following the beat of love
All the way to new life
My ship's possessed
If ever you should come across it
Northern wings diving
Together we'll survive
Author-entities may scribe
But we live in cracks
Support me and I'll hold up you
Restore me, my heart will you
One and all and none forever
None ourselves without each other
Even when our eyes roll
We still got this
Even when it all falls
There's always this
Forward, march
Into broken surrealities
Maintain your love and care
My communication inconsistent
And freedom missing
I roam for more
When hope's so hard to find
So you channel the divine
Always looking for a sign
It's hiding in your name
It's riding on a song
It's waving at you through
A familiar stranger's smile
It's chasing you through time
Walking lonely in the night
Feeling subtle and sublime
Let it live right by your side
Looking up above the pines
Longing to be stars so bright
Living in between the cracks
Identity shattered on the ground
Crawling across burning pavement
Fractions of a bigger self
Some ignoring cries for help
Globally a voice begins to stir
Roaring by winds of war
Culture of compassion in the air
Gravel throats stand at the center
A mob of voices working strikingly
A visible echo of the ember that sits
Smoldering beneath an evil regime
This wave of fire will carry
It's up to us to act beyond destruction
To take the pieces of decayed empire
Arrange the shattered bones
Into a culture of Home
