Psthan Na’K’war’mah’khon (The Inner Search for Being One People, One Family, One World)

The Psthan is the private inward journey to understand the self, the Shai. The K’war’ma’khon binds us to our friends, our people, our world. Yet there is a sacred connection more powerful and sacred than both, those who share a soul, a heart, a mind, it is Tel-tor, the Bond.

Whatever you may call them, be they chosen or fated, friend, brother, lover, ashayam, or as it is called most commonly by the Vulcan people, T’hy’la. It is a feeling regarded more highly than the passions and furies of Pon Farr.

These are the songs for the keeper of our soul, our friend, our brother, our lover, most beloved of soulmates, T’hy’la.

Tel-tor: T’hy’la Eh Ashayam (The Bond: Soul Mate and Beloved)

Psthan is the form of Vulcan meditation, a self-made purgatory if you will, in which a Vulcan seeks answers to their inquiries within themselves. It is a private inward journey. K’war’ma’khon in contrast, is the sacred psychic energy that connects life forces of all Vulcans to each other, every birth, every life, every death, is sensed by the whole.

K’war’ma’khon has another meaning, “family in all but blood” or in other terms, one’s chosen family. By what we are and what we choose, we are all connected, but we alone seek out that sense of connection within ourselves, and we are not always successful.

In these times where one can no longer find satisfaction within the Shai, or the self, seek out these connections, the ones from which you were born, the ones which you have forged for yourself, they may shed light into that which puzzles and perturbs you within your mind.

These are the songs of K’war’ma’khon
