Structure before interpretation

The Threshold Method describes inner life through structure and sequence, not interpretation or narrative. It addresses how human life is organised — and how energy is lost when that organisation becomes unclear.

The method is based on a simple architectural model: the house. Not as metaphor, but as a practical way to orient attention and action. What comes first must be addressed first; nothing above can stabilise before what is below is sufficiently held.

BASEMENT

— SUBCONSCIOUS

Primary expressions

The basement concerns desire, joy, power, and grief — the primary expressions of human force. These are not problems to solve, but energies through which life is lived.

When constrained by fear, shame, or suppression, life narrows. When carried with maturity, life moves with coherence and strength. Threshold work begins here.

Clearing the basement means recognising where life force is bound in unprocessed emotion, habitual self-protection, chronic tension, and unclear boundaries. As this level stabilises, energy becomes available.

UPPER FLOOR

— POTENTIAL

Orientation

Only when the ground holds do we move upward.

This level concerns relationship to one’s life task — not as ambition, but as lived orientation. Meaning and direction arise from the body upward, not imposed by thought.

Tantric and Taoist practices are used here to strengthen the capacity to carry force without collapse, inflation, or escape. Potential becomes grounded.

MIDDLE FLOOR

— LIVED REALITY

Life among others

This is the level of relationship, responsibility, and contribution.

Here, direction is tested in proximity. The focus is not self-expression, but participation: how force moves in contact and how clarity holds under relational pressure. Some forms of clarity only emerge in relation.

STRUCTURAL ORDER

Basement first.
Then potential.
Then lived reality.

Force follows structure.

The method restores sequence.
