Being as that which Exists and as identical to Spirit which includes the material (in a more inclusive sense the material and the spiritual are identical but perhaps experienced as different)

Holistic health

Physical. Exercise, diet, fluids, rest. Allopathic (MD, DO, DDS) &OR other resources

General. Holist and 12-step

Process

Meditation is incompletely separated from action and includes designs

…this integrates design, planning, and plans

Documents

This / brief priorities / Journey in Being as integral

Action

Action is meditative process and includes intentional action. Action is not mere ‘material process’

Meditative review and design

1. Review and change

Review (template) form and contents—Template, Ideals, Material, Appendices (maintenance)

The Ideals include Being and Process and therefore values and intentions (goals)

Contents for priorities include all other priorities / planning / design documents

Ideas and Transformation are the two phases

The old Organic and Social phases are now part of Transformation

Ideas

Metaphysics-Epistemology—foundation, Logic; Logic / grammar, mathematics, logics and set theory

Cosmology—cosmological variety, fiction and Logic; Identity, Power, God…

Dimensions—review Being-MNSPU

Resources for the Journey—cultural resources: practitioners; literature, art, architecture, music; anthropology, history, mythology, religion, and sciences

Transformation in Being

Metaphysics, dynamics as envelope / foundation; variety of being

Systems and catalysts (standardize in Journey in being and dynamics, catalysts and catalytic states)

Minimal sequence—system—of experiments

The aim of experiment is to fully experience variety, identity, and Ideal Being

[In the life of the spirit we are always at the beginning]

The final aim of the minimal sequence is to show the journey of unending variety and Identity of All Being [I would prefer to show this by embodiment]

Logistics of experiment, materials, travel, sharing and coordination

Organic phase

Note. While the phases are currently separated for convenience, the organic and social phases are parts of transformation; publicity is part of the social phase

Goal—Ideas

First—list current topics

List and make a template for catalysts and systems

The transformation of 2011

THEME—crisis and opportunity-transformation

EARLIER—metaphysics, dynamics, the idea of religion

JANUARY-APRIL—bringing together various and disparate elements, concrete idea of religion

MAY-AUGUST—worked the idea of religion, clarified aspects the structure of the metaphysics and journey, the concepts of God, Power, and Mediate powers; meditation-in-action

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER—spirituality and its nature. Integration with the metaphysics its dynamics: spirituality, step programs, discrete and continuous transformation, meditation practice and meditation-in-action; foundation for practical and incremental spirituality; the duality of instincts for death and creation, the understanding that transparency (including openness to vulnerability) is a foundation for relations, charisma, and realization

Second—Develop Ideas and Outlines ® Write

Goal—Transformation

Preliminary—On Spirituality

I may—and have begun to—use ‘ideal’ for ‘spiritual’

In the ultimate, Spirit and Matter are identical

Spirituality requires full metaphysics; proper address of fear

Religion is shared, cumulative, charismatic spirituality (actual religions have patriarchal-institutional structures and may become corrupted)

Conceiving, developing, and understanding spirituality requires a full metaphysics (even on the simplest notion of definition of spirituality)

Spirituality is action? What does that mean? Spirituality includes action? But then, What is action? Is it mere intentional doing? In the meaning of action I would use, it would include doing and mind (including emotion) in interaction. Without thinking and feeling, there is no action. Without a spiritual attitude there is no spiritual action

Possible levels of spirituality: (a) How the Universe is (metaphysics), and (b) my life and relations including relations to the Universe (practical). But from monadology (b) º (a)

My death. Visualize my life-path and aims before and at my death. Determine time/ways/conditions =? enjoyment and usefulness/significance of my death

The next item, Transformation, develops spirituality

Transformation—Discrete and Incremental-continuous

Discrete transformation

§ Direct but may lack explicit clarity and foundation; outcome not always predicted or predictable

§ Provides finite transformation that the ‘continuous’ way shows but does not provide

§ Essential risk

§ Mystic-direct

§ Twelve step work; issue of shame; integrate steps with metaphysics-religion

§ Physical arts and the psychological aspects of self-defense—the idea of the warrior and issue of fear

§ Meditation—practice, meditation-in-action for focus, working through, articulation of transitory and permeable nature of self and so process-identity with the ultimate

§ Vision Quest

§ Social—shared transformation; reaching out; charisma and transparency (includes vulnerability)

§ Other catalysts and systems—e.g., fasting and risk… complete this—dynamics, catalysts and catalytic states.html

Continuous transformation

§ Incremental—but leads to Universal Metaphysics, next

§ For change that is accessible and stable and permanent or reversible according to choice: trust over risk. A mode of continuous transformation is a rational-experiential-empirical approach—which has here been shown to show itself (pure, applied metaphysics). Includes traditional ideas (and sciences), Universal Metaphysics and its implied dynamics

§ Complementary to and framework for discrete transformations. E.g., integrates step-work and religion via metaphysics

Special aspects of transformation

§ Building being, the Organic phase, and Design—see Organic phase

§ Sharing and society—and social-being action, and Design—(1) Shared process and transparency (charisma, vulnerability)—spiritual and material. Public speaking—speaking to audiences… networking, being open to ideas and what others say. (2) Immersion and participation (future of ‘science’). (3) Special groups. (4) The World Situation and needs—in relation to Ideals and Realism (incremental action, risk and bounds of explicit and process rationality)

Foundation for transformation—planning

§ Select ideas from above and material foundation

§ Essential writing and ideas

§ Catalysts and systems

§ Home base and mobility
