Description

Core Concept: Path Two builds FROM death (not toward immortality)—accepting mortality fully while building toward possible permanence anyway.

Four Characteristics of Death-Integrated Building:

  1. Urgency Without Desperation—from acceptance, not avoidance
  2. Building Without Attachment—committed to process, not attached to outcome
  3. Legacy as Possibility—not goal, not required, just possible
  4. Recognition as Irrelevant—neither sought nor avoided

The Four Practices:

  1. Daily Death Reckoning—"I'll die before finishing, building anyway"
  2. Failure Integration—monthly assuming complete failure, still finding worth
  3. Legacy Detachment—weekly imagining others getting credit, feeling satisfaction
  4. Process Satisfaction—daily finding meaning in work itself, not future outcome

The Synthesis: Path Two accepts death fully (like Path One) while building for possible permanence (unlike Path One)—mortality makes the work urgent and meaningful.

What's Next: Path Three—diagnosing unconscious legacy-seeking and moving to coherent paths.
