Thanks Gordon! “Balancing the humors” is exactly right.
I think the frames give some broad macro-direction on how to direct one’s practice.
They also give micro-direction. Are you feeling increasing levels of stress and numbness? Get some Heaven. Are you feeling caught in the weeds and unclear why you were doing what you were doing? Maybe too much Mechanics, and you’ve lost touch with both Heaven and Hell. Feeling motivated but confused on how to make a difference? Time for a plan, pragmatic steps, measurement, mechanics.

It’s been a nice compass for me.
