Donut, W/hole in Space:The Structure of Consciousness and the Universe

The innermost and outermost psychological 'space' (which is here a metaphor for 'concentrated attention' and 'diffused attention') are recognized as indeed the same, continuous.




For explanations of these images see here

It is important to understand the way in which inner/outer have come together for me.

As a mathematical exercise viewing the most "basic consideration" while of thought, what does this equal too? Our assessment of the universe. A Mathematical framework?

I looked at people who use this thought and worked with it and found various comments enlightening when place with the observations being made aware of by John Fudjack here. Look at the previous post and see how they work with what has been demonstrated in this post.

By 'dilating' and 'expanding' the scope of our attention we not only discover that 'form is emptiness' (the donut has a hole), but also that 'emptiness is form' (objects precipitate out of the larger 'space') - to use Buddhist terminology. The emptiness that we arrive at by narrowing our focus on the innermost is identical to the emptiness that we arrive at by expanding our focus to the outermost. The 'infinitely large' is identical to the 'infinitesimally small'.The Structure of Consciousness John Fudjack - September, 1999




The Tree of Enlightenment?

“Since Buddha was enlightened under a bodhi tree, it has become a symbol of enlightenment,” said Mahajan. “The tree is more than religion, it is a symbol of peace, meditation, oneness with yourself, finding harmony with the world. Whenever there is chaos going on, people can use this to find themselves, and a oneness with themselves and the world we live in.”




If one was to see the "tree structure as circles that formed the branches" one would get the sense of what begins as a seed, arose from that one part and successfully leaves to itself, identified, as an evolutionary process of growth. The tree rings encapsulate a lot about the year of it's growth.

But that's not the tree I am talking about. I'm talking about another one mathematically.
