Exploding Eggs- 4th April 2026

The tension within and the tension without an egg is necessarily balanced, and, considerate to the width and tensile strength of its shell surrounding.

When the egg is within the hen and relatively soft and weightless, its bulk is nesting inside the internal chamber whereupon the forces and subsequent tensions are relieved, as it rests (the membrane of shell) being held within.

It is only when the egg is solitary - having been expelled from its host - does its fragility become determined.

And so even in a fixed physical environment we can readily understand a difference between an esoteric egg (in the uterus of the hen soft and safe) and the exoteric egg expelled from the hen then exposed to the elements.

Following this simple text is of itself an exercise of thinking.The egg can be used in this way as a dual perspective.

Furthermore the fertilised egg is curated outside of the mother hen - the formative forces persist within the hardened shell, until that day of absolute tension from within draws them outward.

And so now we have three distinct phases of the egg: -

The beginnings: held, supported, contained, soft.
Dispelled, discharged, separate, distinct.
Inner life taking form, materialisation of being, and then …
Tension within, birth into the world now having journeyed through two membranes.
Eventual death and dissolution whereupon the animated life manifest draws back into the ‘invisible’ realms.

These 3 (5) phases signify the adoption of virtue as living experience throughout an individual’s life.

1. Latent 
2. Unconsciously practical 
3. Taking form through will and action and then: 
4. Tension within and without as the world tests the consciousness.
5. The dissolution of selfishness - that part of the immature self dies and gives over to experience gathered and grown of the ego. 

Yes - ego.

Eggo :)

Happy Easter!
