Self-organization

[Michael Herman]

julie, i think the linguistic equivalent to self-organizing on the level
of 'bigger bodies' would map to what i've heard some talking about as
'self-actualization' for individual human bodies.  both seem to be
suggesting that we do in fact create our own realities and are
responsible for our own state of mind, large and small.

...and while i never expected to fly, harrison, i have tried that
stepping off a smallish cliff and it turned out to be quite the
career-enhancing move, though other parts of me did suffer <grin>....
would say then that the journey is all about poking through these things
we take as givens, our *apparent* reality.... into larger and larger
*apparently* whole bodies/realities...  we state them, start work within
them and then knock through them as we push into the next larger circle
with the next larger question... on our way to what some call the
'species' and others expand further to 'all sentient beings'.

bottom line is that once we come to accept that as orgs and individuals
that we are responsible for our own state of mind/being, then we can get
to work in that open space to see just what we can and can't control
there, where does power and ease come from and what can it do?

thanks to all for this one... m
