It is time, once again.
I cannot say I vividly recall the last three months, but they have been spent working, as well as in reflection. Despite this reflection, I have no real revelations, or at least, none that I would be willing to share, so this one is going to short! And given what has been accomplished, that is probably for the best! Anyways, without further ado, it is time for us to review!
Goals of the Previous Quarter
The following illustrations were not associated with a goal, as they were completed in the previous quarter, but for the sake of cataloguing them, they will be featured.
[✓] Refine and fully launch The Ascendancy Program.
Thanks to the volunteers to sign up for the service to help me test out a few things, this didn't turn out to be too difficult! This approach certainly taught me the limits of what I am able to achieve with this, as well as how I can get concepts across as efficiently as possible, without it being as regimented as I intended it to be. Now, it is highly flexible and far more conversational in regards to structure, and honestly, this is a pleasant change.
As a reminder, The Ascendancy Program is a counseling service that offers creative guidance to those that are uncertain as to what direction to take their work. I'm not going to be one to teach you how to make things, rather, I would point you in a direction that would be well-suited to your natural talents! And to do so, I utilize a holistic framework that underlies all of my work, most notably, The Astral Triptych. The primary goal is to heighten self-awareness so that one may pursue their creative goals with greater certainty and purpose.

[X] Create a unified series of videos for Desire.
What?! A failure?! Impossible! Yes, indeed, this goal is a failure! Why? It's not a series of videos. It is singular single short film that's 27 minutes and 33 seconds long. The numbers are more significant than you could ever know. Hoooowever, I will allow it to speak for itself.
[~] Make preparations for Part 2 of The Astral Triptych.
With the completion of Desire, came the groundwork for Part 2 of The Astral Triptych, which I will now reveal to be called Becoming. I will be tackling a different medium for the completion of this part, and focus more on the concept of One and what it actually is. I will say that most of the preparation wasn't on Becoming in and of itself, but instead, it was on all (and I mean all) of the metaphysics of my philosophical framework. I now "know" what Becoming is, and I have made the necessary adjustments to the groundwork for Becoming that I have previously established. Now I will be capable of moving forward and have Becoming be more accurate.
It is worth noting that Becoming and Part 3 of The Astral Triptych will only be available for supporters. Pledge your support through this page here in order to have access to all future works that I will create!
Goals of the New Quarter
Finish groundwork for Becoming.
Work to understand "the new medium."
Expand the reach of "Nexumorphic."
Now, I'm sure you're probably wondering: "What will happen to the updates/posts after this point?" The quarterly updates will continue to be posted monthly updates will be dropped through my newsletter (which you will be able to sign up for in the footer of my website). The content of the newsletter may be more generalized around the process of my work, devoid of any context, in addition to looking at any milestones and/or goals that have been achieved (many in the process of "expanding the reach"). My social media accounts, by proxy, will be rather dormant for a time, but I will certainly make use of them in the future.
This would be all that I have for you for the time being, dear viewer! I greatly appreciate the time and attention you have committed to my work, and as always, any future instances of these things! If you're not one for newsletters, then I encourage you to be on the look out for the next quarterly update! And based on what I've been reflecting on in these past few months, I foresee another realignment in regards to the overarching goals I've set for this project, and honestly, they are even more defined than the last.
Until the next one,
July 15th!
