There is something far more profound than discovering a glimpse of individual Purpose and Meaning. For as soon as we discover that first Truthful glimpse of the Answer, we know that we are here to do and Become far more than we could ever do or become in isolation.
We struggle to build something as simple as a dwelling for ourselves and our family in isolation.
Much less the properly ordered paradise in which All Life could develop towards the fullness of its Potential and flourish in harmony with One and One Another.
If we do not share a common understanding of our Purpose, our Intention, and our Goal, what it is that we are here standing side by side on Worksite Earth to build, we cannot work together. We cannot walk side by side if we are not aligned and heading in the same direction. We cannot labor on the same project if we do not agree on what it is that we are working towards. We will soon devolve into argument if our Plans and Specifications do not align.
All of this Understanding of what it is that we are here to accomplish, Why it matters, and our unique role within the Whole belongs to the realm of the Metaphysical.
The Physical can point out the discrete elements, it can shine a spotlight on specific experiences in the darkness, but it is the realm of the Mind, the realm of the metaphysical, to creatively connect the dots and pull back the veil to discover the great omni-directional and inter-operative relationships that we must work in Harmony with to Progress towards the universal Goal.
As we test the Potential Solutions for Fit against the Environment and Conditions Of Acceptance they must satisfy, we begin to continuously improve and iterate our design through subsequent generations.
What ends up emerging is like a Code, a script, or a Pattern Language that constitutes a Way Of Being in world, which makes it most likely for us, individually and collectively, to succeed, and avoid failure, as we strive together towards our Destiny.
Vision | Intention | Goal | Understanding | Wisdom | Way of Being | Right Action | Learning and Improving.
These begin to form a set of shared Metaphysical DNA that must be properly sequenced and replicated so that every human being, as a cell in the global body of all human beings, can express and replicate itself faithfully in Harmony with its own unique Purpose, in the greater context of the Purpose and Logos of the Whole.
Metaphysical DNA is like the articulated script that causes this higher form of life to emerge. It is like the shared instruction manual, or Plans and Specifications, that enable us to work together in Harmony as part of the Body or Whole that is a greater than any one us, because it is the one universal Body operating in partnership and Harmony with the One.
When we are working on the most meaningful thing we can imagine…
In meaningful Right Relationship with others…
Shouldering as much Responsibility as we can bear…
In service of the Highest Intention and Greatest Good of which we can conceive...
And making measurable progress towards the Most Worthy Goal, together…
Our sense of common Purpose and Meaning aligns, we are hopeful, motivated, energized, and All things accelerate towards The Goal.
Human beings struggle to experience positive emotion unless they can perceive themselves making measurable progress towards a Worthy Goal.
When we take Responsibility for optimizing our lives to collectively accelerate Throughput of the Most Worthy Goal, we are most ideally positioned to experience the thrilling sense of greatest Purpose, Meaning, and Positive Emotion that tells us we are on the right Path, progressing together towards The Goal.
