Systems

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
