Möbius Ouroboros

• Reality Loops Around
  • Consciousness develops from existence then forgets, crumbles and starts over
  • ø to ♾ and back again
  • #oe
• Start anywhere along the chain of meta-development:
  • life
    • having the desire and ability to choose
  • resonance
    • witnessing the impact of our choices in order to inform the next ones
  • meaning
    • directing our choices toward a particular sense of desired resonance
  • evolution
    • containing many meanings in order to persist as the world changes
  • knowing
    • effortless recall of evolved, meaningful, resonant states of relation
  • CNXNS
    • the directed pursuit of knowing to resolve innate, default ignorance
  • understanding
    • a humbling breadth of knowledge, returning the learner to child mind
  • wisdom
    • a depth of understand that keeps one floating at the surface
  • self
    • a drop of the ocean and the whole ocean in a single drop
  • ø
    • empty set, null set, nada, nothing, no-thing, what's inside a point
    • nihil, nadir, zero, zed, 0
  • ♾
    • everything, the second half of Œ, th-th-th-that's-all-folkth, omni, pan, toto
    • all possibilities swimming in a formless, boundless, timeless cloud nowhere and everywhere waiting to collapse into manifested experience at a moment's notice by any conscious observer in any plane of existence
    • a.k.a. the source
  • existence
    • the veil between what could be and what is
    • does essence precede existence or vice versa? let the French existentialists debate this while we go on like chickens born of eggs made by chickens
  • oneness
    • at first all that is is all that could be in one big "Hmmmmm"
    • liang the loop encircling the Tao
  • ignorance
    • the loop leaves space and nothing but
  • asking
    • what am I? the questions begin with wonder
  • relativity
    • answers and questions arise from relation
  • comparison
    • big defines small by comparison
  • learning
    • commuting relations enriches the tapestry
  • quality
    • a quality arises along with its mutual balancing/canceling opposite
    • see also:: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
    • quality emerges from the delicate awareness, acknowledge, acceptance of the grand duality
  • value
    • the presence of multiple qualities provides an opportunity for preference
    • e.g., too hot, not wet enough, over fed
  • striving
    • value judgment brings lack and abundance
  • quantity
    • lacking inspires counting and accounting
    • no tax collectors or money lenders in the temple, God!
    • see also:: usury-is–the-fruit-of-all-evil
  • complexity
    • counting this and counting that carry different meaning
    • scales often differ and overlap in layers and spheres of complexity
    • see also:: Bruce Lipton's theory of life as enveloping membranes
  • experiment
    • understanding many layers of complexity at once requires a fictive space
    • ceteris paribus, holding all other pieces equal or steady, what is happening?
  • spacetime
    • any experiment takes place in spacetime
    • but space is time and vice versa, so which whenwhere were we when we were where?
  • parameters
    • many dimensions may blossom by setting a few integral parameters
      • like the ratio of a circle's perimeter to its cross-section aka π
      • or the gravitational constant we observe the keeps the heavens swinging
      • how fast does light go?
  • possibilities
    • once the basics are twiddled, we can open up the field of imagination
  • rulesets
    • a few baseline rules might help this universe to be a keeper
    • do we have non-being and being? how many turns do you get?
  • big bang
    • blammo. let's go. let it unfold.
  • vibrations
    • with all the calibrating we did before the bang, things are pretty well figured
      • we can now sit back and watch the show
  • events
    • the show is an N-dimensional network of events all interconnected and cocreating
  • data
    • the events generate data as we observe them
    • endless tiny yesses and nos
  • randomness
    • slicing across the field, we encounter a senseless mishmash of data
    • without knowing the observers, choosers, actors, it seems random
  • information
    • in truth every actor, observer, chooser is neatly in form
    • those in form set to work shaping what is not in form in the domain-of-possibility
  • energy
    • the work of shaping possibility into reality is fueled by energy
    • energy can be collected and dispersed according to intention and attention
  • matter
    • clusters of concentrated energy become matter, storing potential energy
    • these chunks tend to think they are important
  • cosmos
    • between matter and energy we pretty much entail the cosmos
    • and we elect to play a small part in the cosmic play
  • life
    • wherein we adopt the ability to choose, free will
    • which is enacted by intention that follows our attention
