I've wanted to draw this out into one image to show how it all fits together, but I realize it would be impossible to understand for anyone who doesn't see it, so I have been putting if off for a long time.
But by now I feel if I wait longer it will never happen or it will be too late and no one is helped by it. So here is the simplest version possible. I'm thinking you don't have to understand it, but instead once you experience something you may recall "yeah that was on the map" and then you know you're on the right track.

Some short notes:
Crocodile refers to a situation which became a famous quote by Churchill.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile — hoping it will eat him last.
This pretty much sums up what human society is. When you get there, you will be that crocodile.

Donkey's jaw refers to Samson in Jewish myth:
The donkey's jawbone is the unusual weapon with which Israelite leader Samson slew a thousand Philistines, as recorded in the fifteenth chapter of the book of Judges.
When you get there, you will have such a weapon, and indeed it does look like a donkey's jawbone.

White spike: you know this already. So maybe you ask, how do we form this ahead of time? Well a novice has a wooden sword for practice, and the form is similar. Even after getting a real sword, you are not instantly a master. The label on the map shows where the master is.
