CHIM is a pretty hot topic on the lore section, and I imagine some are getting just a little bit fed up with all the threads about it, So sorry 'bout that.

Now, I've a question that I hope is fairly simple to answer for those RL buff lorebuffs - CHIM is the realization that you're just a figure in a dream and you don't actually exist, and still hanging onto your identity, fully aware that you're not real, but also being able to comprehend and say that you still exist. This I get.

The Tower, is an ideal, and the existence of the true self within the universal self. It's how to permanently exist beyond duplexity, antihesis or trouble.

And finally, the Psijic Endeavor. The method of achieving the Tower and then what to do after.

All three of these concepts are knit closely together, I'm just having a hard time wrapping my heard around how exactly. On the topic of the relationship of the Psijic Endeavor and the Tower, Vivec said "Ah. Because from within one, you may regard the other.", what exactly does this mean? Concretely - what is the Tower, and are there any examples? What's the relationship between CHIM and the Tower?

From within the Psijiic Endeavor, you can view the Tower.

The Endeavor is a process, a method of enlightenment.

The Tower is the true shape of the Universe. When you see two infinite bubbles touching (Anu and Padomay) they form a circle. If you look at the circle from the side, you see an "I". When you see the Universe from outside like that, you come to understand the non-reality of it all. But the "I" is the true self and if you can hang onto that you can hang onto your existence.

All of the Tower's in the Mundus (Crystal-Like Law, Direnni, White-Gold, ect.) are made in imitation of this shape and that's where they derive their power.

When you regard the Tower and realize your true sense of self, you get CHIM.

That's the connection.
