Life Model v2

While I've made more more models before this one, they didn't feel right as such. I'm pretty confident about this one though. Let's begin.

The version one of the model is this: Geoscope as Gnana Yoga, World Game as Karma Yoga, Kriya Yoga as Kriya Yoga, Synergetics as Bhakti Yoga,

Assuming you know that tetrahedron is the minimum shape which captures omnidirectional space and forms the basis of what we call 'comprehension', I deemed those 4 to be the 4 vertices of a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron has 6 edges or relationships. I began mapping those out. And I keep getting stuck here and there with terminology issues. After enough iterative confusion, I realized of a very sane distillation:

Body, Mind, Brain, and World,

These I say, are the actual constellation. Wherein, the previous model implied the vectors which these are related by. Let's try to map them all out. I've already did the brainstorming so I'll lay out what I think the relationship vectors are.

Body x Mind = Sadhana/Kriya Yoga. Brain x Body = PKMS/GTD/Geoscope. World x Body = Consecration. This is a new one. Mind x Brain = Synergetics. World x Mind = Leadership/Bhakti Yoga. World x Brain = World Game/Karma Yoga.

So we have: Sadhana, PKMS, Consecration, Synergetics, Leadership and World Game, as the basic vectors which define human life.

Let's look at each.

  1. Mind x Body: Sadhana - This is the terminology famous in yogic culture. It is the word Habit's equivalent but meant for spiritual growth. It is what we meant by Kriya Yoga in the original version.
  2. Brain x Body: PKMS/GTD/Geoscope - This is interesting. PKMS means "personal knowledge management system" - basically externalization of your thought structure. GTD is a methodology built by David Allen to help people do away with the constant ongoing thinking process by eternalization of one's aims and wishes. Geoscope is Bucky's tool for externalization of the biggest system - Earth. So the key word is 'Externalization'. You can try it anytime you're confused. You can try it anytime you're even slightly confused - just write it all down, or make it into an externalized process you can look at.
  3. Word x Body: Consecration - Now, if we look at the limits of modern science, we find that it finds that the phenomenon "life" is not physical i.e. it has no weight. A dead body weighs the same as when the living being was alive. To say, no instrument can measure "life". The science of yoga begins where modern science ends. Yoga finds that there is an instrument to not only measure it but also manipulate it. That instrument is the human body. Which body is not ignored by much of humanity, wherefore 'life' remains unrevealed. Consecration is the science of inducing 'prana'/'life' into physical spaces and items. It is said that being in such a space is why going to the Monasteries was the ideal way for spiritual development - they were consecrated by someone who knew how to make a place "alive". Because your body is yours and mine is mine, there is no way we can objectively verify something non-physical and weightless, unless we both confirm it individually. Which is why the best spiritual "aid" is being in a consecrated space physically, regardless of what one thinks or disagrees with.
  4. Mind x Brain: Synergetics - This is simple. Bucky Fuller's Synergetics bridges the gap between reality and our grasp of it. It is what turns "science" from a subject into something which is reality rather than theory. Synergetics should just be called "physical science" but we've fumbled that term big time. So Synergetics it is.
  5. World x Mind: Leadership - This is about human relationship. While a lot of descriptions may exist, let me put it like this: It's about caring, fundamentally. That's it. Caring as if everyone is your child. Being a mother, a responsible mother, who wants the child to feel completely safe, yet grow into a badass human being who doesn't need anybody's help.
  6. World x Brain: World Game. It's the pursuit of Utopia on the planet. Instead of fighting with each other on "who should survive", we simply change our environment so that the metals used to make the gun are used to make the solar panels, and suddenly we find there is enough for all, and so on.

That's the basic model. I'll update it with granularity as I become more aware of how I should write this in the first place.
