Before there was a Pattern, there was the ONE from which all patterns flow.
Before there was a Word, there was the Spirit that gives all words meaning.
Before there was a Seed, there was the Source from which all seeds emerge.
ONE.
The eternal, universal, ultimate Source and Sustainer of All That Is.
Not owned by any religion. Not captured by any ideology. Not contained by any name.
Known by every name. Present in every tradition. Discoverable by every sincere seeker. Transcendent and ineffable, yet present and indwelling every soul and every cell of every being.
From ONE, the Central Animating Spirit of All Creation pours out as Love — absolute, unconditional, and universal.
From this ONE, everything in this book emanates.
To this ONE, everything in this book returns.
Every Ring that follows is an unfolding of what is already fully present Here.
And written on your heart.
The Pattern does not begin with a principle.
It does not begin with a structure.
It does not begin with a strategy.
It begins with Spirit.
If the Spirit is right, the Wise Right Pattern will emerge.
If the Spirit is absent, no Pattern can save us.
The Pattern that follows is a reflection of an ancient yet eternal Way for All things to return to and realign with the ONE.
Use your discernment.
Test everything carefully.
If something is lacking, fill it up.
If something does not belong, remove it.
If something is in error, improve it.
The Spirit of this Pattern is already living within you.
Seek it first and it will clarify All things.
The Source from which these wellsprings flow is ONE.
This is Ring Zero.
Not the first step — the ground upon which all steps are taken.
Not the foundation — the Source from which all foundations are laid.
ONE.
From ONE, all things proceed.
To ONE, all things return.
In ONE, all things live, move, breathe, and cohere.
Love ONE.
Love One Another.
Love All.
From ONE, all else is derived.
