*An argument, of sorts ...* Are nation states persons? Do they have chakras? Chakras are just patterns in nature. Circles and wheels are recurring patterns in nature. Hydro-phobic and hydro-phyllic molecules in nature form defensive wheels. Countries like Singapore and Israel have weak 1st chakras, so they compensate by strengthening 3rd chakras (power). That is as observable as a field-biologists's finding. There are no hard boundaries in nature. "OB-marker" isn't a word in its vocabulary. (OB-marker is a term of art in Singapore that refers to out-of-bounds topics for political discussion.) Music operates on a gradient of frequencies. The chakras could simply be different dimensions of freedom. At any one point, you are simply the intersection of all your chakras. Can we detect phase changes in ourselves, the moments when gradients become boundaries, when water becomes ice? There is an organic web that sustains all of us. It is invisible, but always there. If you look carefully, you can see it in the surface tension of water, or in the fibres of wood. You see it in the moral fibre that knits society together. Life can never be controlled. It can only be disturbed. And when life encounters disturbance, it creates, from within itself, the next step. That next step can never be anything except mysterious. It is the fundamental root of existence. Life encounters the unknown, and into that eternal abyss it summons forth an armory of resources and a pantheon of creativity. Therefore, life is always self-regenerating. As long as there is life, the next step will always be more life. It will always be different, but it is life nevertheless. Can we imagine the universe without life? We cannot. Therefore, the universe will never die. Symmetry is the prevailing order of things. But ever so often, as the result of a disturbance, life breaks with symmetry, and when it does so, it is invariably interesting. Male becomes different from female. Handedness becomes right or left. The circle becomes a spiral. Entire civilisations sprout and bloom.
