10	What is the Scope of the journey? Preliminary development is useful The next two slides establish that the universe is limitless and that the individual realizes this limitlessness Though not simple, the argument is intuitive and supplements the formal narratives of the website To pass by the preliminary click here
11	4.1 An excursion in ideas—Being Limits are of Being, not of its absence The void is limitless The universe has no limits— Its variety, extent, duration has no limit It has manifestation and identity in acute, diffuse, and absent phases Individuals realize the limitless manifest form and identity of the universe
12	4.2 An excursion in ideas (continued) Realization is given but engagement enhances efficiency and enjoyment In limitless form realization is a moment In limited form realization is an endless journey (the journey has no limit) It is founded in the apparent limits of our form—especially birth, life, death Which are gates to the limitless
13	4.3 What is the scope of the Journey? Realization of limitless Being is endless This has been alluded to in metaphor such as ‘splendor of a thousand suns’ Which metaphor is infinitesimal against the limitless But the journey begins with human abilities and disciplines of civilization
14	4.4 Scope of the Journey: Summary The scope of the journey is realization of limitlessness of the universe However, realization begins with and builds upon cultivation of ability and tradition Here, and in civilization and its ground—nature—are the places of work and ultimate adventure
15	Progress so far The ideas are mature Transformation, always at beginning, is built with ideas and experiment… And upon civilization and its disciplines—intrinsic such as yoga and instrumental as in science System details and ongoing reports of progress are at the journey website
16	5.1 (Aside) On Yoga and Science Yoga is intrinsic to being, includes meditation. Science is instrumental In Yoga, being here now and realization are dual essentials Yoga and science—identical at root—are the core disciplines of civilization Use of the terms here is related but not identical to general use
17	The future The disciplines are catalysts of growth Experiments and ideas build on the traditions Nature-civilization is place of realization Ability is our final rock on which to rely We remember that life and death—i.e. our being—are gates to the limitless
18	Summary of the presentation Realization of the limitless is given In limited form realization is endless Engagement enhances efficiency and enjoyment of realization Ideas and action are the means Vehicles are individual and civilization We rely on idea and action to build upon the disciplines of civilization
