What Scott says

The theory of one and two is a unified theory, so it's a theory of human maturation, specifically maturation of emotions and maturation of the self, attachment to the self, so healing the attachment to the self, learning to have flexible attachments that are rigid, learning to heal some of the fractured self is important on the path of spiritual evolution, though often overlooked or underemphasized, but I, as a trauma therapist and attachment-based therapist, disagree. I think it's highly important to be able to heal enough of the childhood self so that you can maintain abiding awakening, which is part of the theory, and then mostly, though, at this point at least, it's about spiritual evolution, and then it's divided into three parts.

It is into healthy patterns to master, right? And if you look on the website page, that's the top part, patterns, and then paradoxes, which is an important piece of the theory of one and two, and then laws, right? So we have the spiritual laws, or kind of the laws of how the spiritual world works, like everything is one would be a spiritual one. And then we have the paradoxes, so both fullness and emptiness exist at the same time, that's a paradox.

Another paradox is we are both human in a finite body and spirit in infinite spirit, and those are our paradox. And then we have the rules of the rate-limiting steps. I call them rate-limiting steps. It's not the best word.

It's accurate, but it doesn't sound the best. Basically, the idea is if you can master these patterns, then the process of spiritual evolution can go much more rapidly, efficiently, and with less friction.
