| | |Name=Special Composition |
| | |LensShadowDescription=no |
| | |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 idea of Connected Systems is simply about recognizing that the world as we experience it is broken down into many, many arbitrary ways of conceptualizing how things work together or against each other. By using [[Focus]] and [[Adaptation]] in the way we experience these systems, we start to find new meaning in the [[Relation|Relationships]] that will lead us to ways to [[Unlearn The Self]].
| | 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. |
| | | * Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between the different systems you see (highway and vehicles) |
| == How to approach each of these exercises ==
| | * Within a system, notice there are parts (lanes, individual cars). Feel that they are just "parts" - they aren't the whole picture. |
| * Play with your own perception, seeing systems in different ways, especially moving between each level of systems | | * 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]]. |
| ** individual parts - Notice they are discrete and autonomous in their own way - A rock is its own thing, disconnected from the other rocks in a pile. | | |Beacon=Adaptation |
| ** two or more individual parts - How do they relate and compare and contrast; how do they work together; what connects them and separates them | | |Sort=Lens_S01500 |
| ** 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)

| There are many exercises you can do while [[Walking]], including the following [[Connected Systems]] concepts.
| |
| Depending on where you walk, you will be able to use things like
| |
| * Trees - individuals, clusters, trees of the same species, etc.
| |
| * Sidewalks and the grass next to them, parallel to the road, parallel to the sidewalk across the street
| |
| * Streetlights - alongside the sidewalks, in the grass, lighting the street
| |
| * Telephone poles - similar to the streetlights, but not the same at all
| |
| * [[People]] walking in the same direction, and in the opposite direction
| |
| | |
| == Driving ==
| |
| <span style="color:red">Warning: Never do any Meditative or Mindful exercise if it makes you less attentive to your driving!</span>
| |
| | |
| * 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, very similar to what you would notice when [[#Walking|Walking]].
