- Individuals and civilization (individuals foster civilization;
civilization nurtures the individual)
- _____________
- Summary—Individuals and Civilization are the ‘vehicles’ of the journey
|
|
7
|

|
- Preliminary development is useful
- The next two slides establish that the universe is limitless and that
the individual realizes this limitlessness
- Though not simple, the argument is intuitive and supplements the formal
narratives of the website
|
|
10
|
- Limits are of Being, not of its absence
- The void is limitless
- The universe has no limits—
- Its variety, extent, duration has no limit
- It has manifestation and identity in acute, diffuse, and absent phases
- Individuals realize the limitless manifest form and identity of the
universe
|
|
11
|
- Realization is given but engagement enhances efficiency and enjoyment
- In limitless form realization is a moment
- In limited form realization is an endless journey (the journey has no
limit)
- It is founded in the apparent limits of our form—especially birth, life,
death
- Which are gates to the limitless
|
|
12
|
- Realization of limitless Being is endless
- This has been alluded to in metaphor such as ‘splendor of a thousand
suns’
- Which metaphor is infinitesimal against the limitless
- But the journey begins with human abilities and disciplines of
civilization
|
|
13
|
- The scope of the journey is realization of limitlessness of the universe
- However, realization begins with and builds upon cultivation of ability
and tradition
- Here, and in civilization and its ground—nature—are the places of work
and ultimate adventure
|
|
14
|
- The ideas are mature
- Transformation, always at beginning, is built with ideas and experiment…
- And upon civilization and its disciplines—intrinsic such as yoga and
instrumental as in science
- System details and ongoing reports of progress are at the journey
website
|
|
15
|
- Yoga is intrinsic to being and includes meditation. Science is
instrumental
- In Yoga, being here now and realization are dual essentials
- Yoga and science—identical at root—are the core disciplines
- The use of the terms here is related but not identical to general use
|
|
16
|
- The disciplines are catalysts of growth
- Experiments and ideas build on the traditions
- Nature-civilization is place of realization
- Ability is our final rock on which to rely
- We remember that life and death—i.e. our being—are gates to the
limitless
|
|
17
|
- Realization of the limitless is given
- In limited form realization is endless
- Engagement enhances efficiency and enjoyment of realization
- Ideas and action are the means
- Vehicles are individual and civilization
- We rely on idea and action to build upon the disciplines of civilization
|
|
18
|
- I invite communication
- I seek collaboration to establish an organization for ideas and action (Road
Ahead at the journey site below)
