Ken Wilber’s Twenty Tenets are: 1. Reality is not composed of things or processes, but of holons, which are wholes that are simultaneously parts. 2. Holons display four fundamental capacities: a. self-preservation (agency) b. self-adaptation (communion) c. self-transcendence d. self-dissolution 3. Holons emerge. 4. Holons emerge [b]holarchically[/b]. 5. [b]Each holon transcends and includes its predecessors.[/b] 6. The lower sets the possibilities of the higher; the higher sets the probabilities of the lower. 7. The number of levels which a hierarchy comprises determines whether it is ‘shallow’ or ‘deep;’ and the number of holons on any given level we shall call its ‘span.’ 8. [b]Each successive level of evolution produces greater depth and less span.[/b] 9. [b]Destroy any type of holon, and you will destroy all of the holons above it and none of the holons below it.[/b] 10. [b]Holarchies co-evolve. The micro is always within the macro (all agency is agency in communion).[/b] 11. [b]The micro is in relational exchange with macro at all levels of its depth.[/b] 12. [b]Evolution has directionality: a. increasing complexity. b. increasing differentiation/integration. c. increasing organization/structuration. d. increasing relative autonomy. e. increasing telos.[/b][/i] [/quote] [/quote] Kabbalah, The Tree Of Life Topologically Explained http://wn.com/Kabbalah,_the_Tree_of_Life_topologically_explained [glpvideo]http://video.godlikeproductions.com/video/Kabbalah_the_Tree_of_Life_topologically_explained?id=c2d20c6b9e4348f1fc3[/glpvideo] The central picture in Kabbalah is the Tree of Life containing 10 sefirot and 22 paths. This design was derived from concentric circles (The Bahir). The concept of the tree is to represent how universal energy (Kether) transforms into the World (Malkuth). The Tree is about the "manifested" Universe. which is in Kabbalistic view - based on three voids (unmanifested) which come from The Absolute. The 3 voids are called Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur. Laureyssens shows in this video - in an engineering approach - how the Absolute (One) can self-create these 3 first voids by a type of universal coupling action of a Singularity (a non-breakable dynamic spherical Membrane), similar to Ouroboros, the snake that bite it's own tail. The action is a penetration, called a pelastration, that creates from parts of the 2D-surface locally a multi-layered (structured) 3D topological sub-set, called a holon. The holon is a local UNION of two membrane tubes, but acts like a UNIT, where it's three joined M-layers interact and exchange energies....http://video.godlikeproductions.com/video/Kabbalah_the_Tree_of_Life_topologically_explained?id=c2d20c6b9e4348f1fc3 [/quote]
Original Message
Time, in Buddhism, is defined as a measurement of change.
For example, a month is the measurement of change involved either externally in the moon circling the earth or internally in a woman going from one menstruation to the next. Such changes are cyclical in that the pattern repeats, although the events of each cycle are not completely identical. Externally, the universe passes through cosmic, astronomical, astrological and historical cycles.
