Special Composition

The concept

• How does it fit in with the goals of enlightenment?
  • TODO
• How do Systems exercises help with this goal?
  • Understanding the relationship between our center of consciousness and the universe as a whole
  • TODO - more
• 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
