1. The Beginning

Before you step inside, visit the Blueprint. It reveals the Temple’s design: its Foundation, Pillars, and Roof. 
The Blueprint does not tell you where to go, but what stands before you: the map of a flourishing life.

Within its menu, you will also find The Rhythm, describing the sequence that every block follows: 

Image → Stance → Depth → Science → Practice → Reflection.

The Blueprint is your architectural orientation, not a manual.
Study it once; return to it often.

2. Entering the Temple

Your first step within the Temple is the Inner Chamber (naos): the overview of all fifteen building blocks.

Here, you can see the entire structure: the Stairs of Progress (the Foundation), the Stones of Strength (the Three Pillars), and the Beams of Balance (the Roof). From this point, your path begins.

For visitors, two of the fifteen blocks are open:

• Stair I – Orientation
• Stone I – Strength

They stand as invitations, the threshold of the Temple. To explore all fifteen building blocks, you may subscribe and enter as a full Builder.

3. Moving Through the Temple

When you enter a building block from the Inner Chamber, the Temple Navigation Bar appears just below the roof. It guides you through the structure of the Temple.

The top row contains the five domains of the Temple:

• Foundation — the three Stairs of Progress
• Pillar I — the Stones of the Body
• Pillar II — the Stones of the Mind
• Pillar III — the Stones of Sovereignty
• Roof — the Beams of Balance

When you select one of these domains, its three building blocks appear below.
Click on a block — a Stair, Stone, or Beam — to enter its rhythm.

4. The Rhythm within each Block

Each building block unfolds through six to seven articles, following the Temple Rhythm:

Opening (Image) → Philosophy (Stance) → Depth → Science → Practice → Reflection
(Some contain an additional Ornament.)

On the right side, you’ll see a list of the articles in sequence.
On the left, a rhythm menu lets you navigate freely between them.
Click “Read more” to open a full article.
At the top and bottom of every full article are links to move forward or backward in rhythm.

You can return at any time to the Temple Navigation Bar above, or to the Rhythm Menu beside you.
Every direction is open. The structure will hold.

Completion of each building block requires:

• four readings
• three integrated practices
• and two written reflections of at least fifty (50) characters

after which a virtue token is conferred. You can track your movement through the Temple at all time in the Eudaimon Progress dashboard.

5. Paths Through the Temple

You are free to wander. Yet for those who seek structure, three classical routes are offered:

The Mason’s Path – The Builder’s Way

Begin with the full Foundation (Stairs I–III),
then the first building block of each domain (Stone I, Stone IV, Stone VII, Beam I).
Continue in this pattern until all are complete.
This path balances depth and breadth — construction by proportion.

The Spartan’s Path – The Path of Endurance

Follow the Temple in strict order, from Stair I to Beam III.
This is the path of discipline — direct, deliberate, complete.

The Citizen’s Path – The Path of Coherence

Start with the Foundation (Stairs I–III),
then move through Stone III, Stone VI, Stone IX, Beam I, and Beam II.
Finish with the remaining Stones, and close with Beam III.
This path mirrors the life of participation: self, society, and service aligned.

Whichever path you choose, return often to the Foundation.
The Temple grows from it. 

6. Subscription and Access

As a Builder, you gain access not only to the full Temple, but also to its two companion halls:

The Library – The Quiet Depth

The Library is where the Temple opens to its foundations.
Here, Stoic fragments meet modern science: philosophy, psychology, physiology, economics.
Each text illuminates the stones from which the Temple was built. It is the foundation beneath the foundation: calm, scholarly, essential.
Enter it when you wish not for new tasks, but for deeper understanding.

The Companion – The Living Practice

The Companion transforms insight into action, a practical guide for daily living.
It contains:

• • Thirty Days into a Stoic Practice – a daily journey of discipline and reflection.
  • Travel Tips – principles for movement and stillness beyond the screen.
  • Reading List – curated works for continuation and study.

The Ledger – Your Mirror

Within the Companion, you will find the Ledger.
It is not a scoreboard, but a mirror, a place to record alignment.
Here, you can measure yourself across the three pillars: Body, Mind, and Wealth.
Each entry is a note in time, showing where balance holds and where it leans.
Your reflections here also inform your Eudaimon Index, the compass of your progress.

The Companion is not an appendix but a partner, the place where learning becomes living. Return to it as you would to a friend: for perspective, structure, and renewal.

7. Closing Reflection

The Temple is not a maze, but a mirror.
Its structure is your own structure. The order within chaos, the rhythm within motion.
Move freely, but move consciously.
Read slowly. Reflect deeply. Return often.

The Temple will stand as you do.
