DM: This is interesting. Clearly all SQ patterns have their own
independence up to a point. This independence is controlled by
higher and more evolved patterns. Therefore could we say that there
is an overall pattern that makes a collection of inorganic, organic,
biological and social patterns into the organised event of an individual
life?
I'd say up to a point. An individual is not just a set of patterns organised
into the collectivity of the so-called individual. The collection of
patterns
go on doing what they do in predictable ways, but an individual is open
to its environment that is not predictable. The patterns are going to be
effected in all kinds of dynamic ways and the individual is also able to
respond and act dynamicallly and even bring completely new dynamic
possibilities of action/creation into the situation. The amazing thing is
you can meditate away most of your patterns above the organic level.
The individual is therefore something open, that can melt away,
into nothing, but that's the secret of human being is this strong contact
with the
nothing, and the power to draw upon its creative power.
"Lila individually, herself, is in an evolutionary battle against the
static patterns of her own life." (Lila, 29)
DM: Yes, against the static patterns that she possess in the here
and now there is the evolutionary potential to become what she
essentially is: nothing or freedom itself. Freedom -the least essential
concept of them all.
This also says something about immortality, because SQ patterns
appear to possess immortality, whereas the individual is touched
by freedom and therefore with nothing. Our highest value (freedom) calls us
to
overcome our own inherited static patterns. The love and joy of freedom
is a fiery love.
