this is w...i love theories of dynamic interaction.<br /><br />this is why for myself, yoga naturally should lead to a sense of environmental stewardship. we are all connected. <br /><br />I think for those who live in urban settings there is that much more of a sense of disconnect from others as well as the natural world around them. (which there have been studies that indeed indicate this is so). While those Westerners who live in rural settings have a much closer idea to the banana-monkey, grass goat connection (which was my first thought upon grouping- guess you can't take the dynamic out of the country girl!)<br /><br />the fantastic this about culture/society is that it can easily and quickly change (and has). therefore, should our cultural experiences be such now (as most live in urban environments in the west) then it is not impossible for these trends and cultural "mores" to alter within a generation.<br />great post :)Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-55729778395323665452009-10-26T00:56:30.265-07:002009-10-26T00:56:30.265-07:00If only west could meet east. :(If only west could meet east. :(Ted Bagleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740863843616685808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-78328064386310445722009-10-25T01:08:16.226-07:002009-10-25T01:08:16.226-07:00A couple philosophical axioms, extrapolated from g...A couple philosophical axioms, extrapolated from group theory:<br /><br />(1) An object is a system with boundaries. Those boundaries are defined by the function in question that the system or object performs.<br /><br />(2) All objects are subsystems of larger systems.<br /><br />EXAMPLE:<br /><br />Math is a system of quantitative numerical (scalars) and geometrical relationships (dimensional coordinates). <br /><br />Momentum and Energy is a system of mathematical quantities within Space and Time. A subatomic particle is a system of vibrating energy-momentum. An atom is a system of subatomic particles which typically manifests in the form of the Periodic Table of Elements (form). A molecule is a system of atoms. A phase of matter is a system of molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles (depending on the statistical energy distribution and the statistical distribution of forms). A material body is a system of matter phases. A network is a system of material bodies performing individual functions....stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters....multiverse, etc.<br /><br />Actually, the funny thing is that this is just a scaling up of the properties of energy-momentum conservation in spacetime from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest multiverse, etc.Quantum_Fluxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383025356536602044noreply@blogger.com
