+|AdditionalOverview=Special Composition is about recognizing relationships in a way that makes it easier to embrace [[Adaptation]] and {{Credo|Adaptation}}.  Examples are given below, but a very simple example is a highway.
+* A highway
+** With four or more lanes
+** Some are going in the same direction
+** Some are going in the opposite direction
+* On the highway are vehicles
+** Some vehicles are traveling in the same direction
+** Some are traveling in the opposite direction
+** Some are similar (red cars)
+** Some are different (cars vs semi-trucks)
-=== The concept ===
+This is really just a starting point to understand the concept.  If you find yourself noticing Special Composition, relax your mind and experience the following types of things.
-* How does it fit in with the goals of enlightenment?
+* Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between the different systems you see (highway and vehicles)
-** TODO
+* Within a system, notice there are parts (lanes, individual cars).  Feel that they are just "parts" - they aren't the whole picture.
-* How do Systems exercises help with this goal?
+* Notice how easy and arbitrary it is to divide and combine things into systems that work together.  This is an important step in understanding [[Adaptation]].
-** Understanding the relationship between our center of consciousness and the universe as a whole
+|Beacon=Adaptation
-** TODO - more
+|Sort=Lens_S01500
-* How to approach each of these exercises
+}}
-** Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between each level of systems
-*** individual parts - Notice they are discrete and autonomous in their own way
-*** two or more individual parts - How do they relate and compare and contrast; how do they work together; what connects them and separates them
-*** similarities and differences between the following, noting how a system is composed and connected to other systems
-**** specialized systems (cars driving in one direction together)
-**** parallel systems (two lanes of cars)
-**** opposing systems (two directions of traffic)
-**** "ecology" - many systems that are loosely related (light poles, sidewalks and streets)
-=== Driving ===
-* Cars moving with you - all one system, but all individual cars
-* Cars moving against you vs with you - two separate systems with opposing objectives, but at the same time, part of the same system of traffic flowing
-* Notice other Systems and combinations of Systems, such as
-** Sidewalks and the grass next to them
-** Streetlights - alongside the sidewalks, in the grass, lighting the street
-** Telephone poles - similar to the streetlights, but not the same at all
