Journey Toward Maturity

((This is first post on Katanis journey toward maturity. Because at its core, she is still rather immature in many regards. What her beliefs are right now, doesn't necessarily reflect what factions truly represent, or should be, it's a journey after all.))
Life was the pursuit of joy.
This was what Katani believed, and with such an ideal, her choice to join the Transcendent Order over the Society of Sensates might come as a surprise. However the nuance was what attracted Katani to former above the latter. The Sensates She believed to represent external stimuli to achieve. The Transcendent order however, to her, explained that happiness would come from within. And this is what Ciphers represented to Katani, learning to know yourself. Through this learning to accept the multiverse.
To do this, she'd need to learn to act without a thought. It sounds simple enough. But the more she thought about it - there's that word again. Thought... how was she supposed to learn to not think about when she probably needed to think about how to not do it? Surely the Ciphers were allowed to think on their actions sometimes? Or did they just really need to do everything on a whim and hope for the best?
That couldn't be the full answer either, she thought as she was floating within the Cadence of the Planes. The deprivation chamber located within the Great Gymnasium, meant for its members. Stripped down to nothing, rope around her ankle. Floating in the dark, soundless levitation field, with just herself and thoughts left all alone. Having to face all her demons, some literal too, all her thoughts, and none of the surroundings at the same time, while trying to rationalize that action without a thought is the purest representation of the multiverse.
She was, apparently, supposed to hear the rhytm and pulsemoves of all planes. But she was fairly certain that was infact her own heartbeat. Which sounded much more prevalent. Cadence of the Planes represented more than just the room however, it represented rhytm of the multiverse that one could only feel, not hear. How all of multiverse is connected... or something, she was still ways off from really catching the drift of that idea. These were some of the many thoughts going through her mind, other times she was trying hard not to think anything, invain as so many before her would find, it wasn't the right technique to go about it after all.
After her time in the chamber was done, and it was time for the next person to be let in, she left mind full of thoughts and fascination. It'd be a long journey to get to it! At least she was already physically quite fit, and had been doubling her training regiment on that regard ever since joining, but that'd take her only so far. She would just have to remember that it wasn't a competition.
