self w/o self (presence of caring spirit in 'totally present and toally
inivisible' manner) might be another way to express what it is. rather
paradoxical state. thus each self becomes a nutrient environment for other
selves to emerge and replicate that pattern in multitude of other patterns-
co-evolution, not survival of the fittest?

Perhaps the first step is to deeply appreciate the design >and organization

Yes Yes Yes.  i think this is the key point.  In the appreciation of the
design whatever that is we are present, a part of the space, an element of
the design.  The way to optimize it is to be yourself and your purpose
inside the design that emerges.  The only way to influence the course of the
design is to be an element of it.  The focus is turned inwards toward the
emergence of self and away from the external thinking how to I change the
other.  In the internal thinking there is no "other" because self is a part
of everything self encounters. I am wondering if there is no "other" than is
it all Space?
