Design Metaphysics: Balance and the Design Fulcrum

 

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

A point describes the center of every circle. This point describes the nucleus at the heart of every field of energy. Metaphorically speaking a circle along with its centered point of origin describes a perfect geometry. The source of the circle is a point about which a field is inscribed in space and time. The center marks a circle's origin, its genesis, its nucleus, its spark. The center of a circle describes and pinpoints its source, the scope and the range of its creative influence.

inscribe verb [with object] (usually be inscribed)    1 write or carve (words or symbols) on something, especially as a formal or permanent record: .      mark (an object) with characters:       write an informal dedication to someone in or on (a book):      archaic enter the name of (someone) on a list or in a book; enroll.     2 Geometry draw (a figure) within another so that their boundaries touch but do not intersect: Compare with circumscribe.

The field surrounded by pointed inscription is an extensions or enlargement of that which is central to its creation. By means of a compass the point becomes a circle. The compass is an instrument describing a pointed and linear action (projection) about which an arc or circle can inscribed and made apparent.

2.   an instrument for drawing circles and arcs and measuring distances between points, consisting of two arms linked by a movable joint, one arm ending in a point and the other usually carrying a pencil or pen.

What was once unseen is now seen, measurable and describable. The scope, range and extent of what can be created can now be made apparent within the circumference of the circle. The circle describes the limits or boundaries of the source's (center point) creative influence. The circle creates a border line that objectively represents the concept of twoness (duality) by purposely distinguishing "insideness" from "outsideness", light from dark, matter from wave, consciousness from the unconscious and meaning from purpose. (Note: Keep in mind while pondering metaphorically upon these events that you are both an observer and creator of the same secondly, the border line is merely a veil made cognitive and apparent by choice.)    

3 [in singular] the range or scope of something: the event had political repercussions that are beyond the compass of this book.  the enclosing limits of an area: this region had within its compass many types of agriculture.  the range of notes that can be produced by a voice or a musical instrument: the cellos were playing in a rather somber part of their compass.




A point remains a point until projected beyond its "original position"  and to reach beyond the limitations and constraints surrounding its birth and origin. 

DESIGN'S BECOMING

A Quantum Field of Virtual Potential (QFVP) harbors every concept of perfection along with the dualistic/linear processes/methodologies required to experience/attain it. Design re-presents the symbolic and metaphorical circumstances and situations needed to acquire a pointed awareness as required of consciousness. 




THE CONICAL (conceptual) FULCRUM:

Conceptual in essence the conical fulcrum is based upon abstract ideas, general notions and impressions. Based upon a plan, intention or conception, a mental picture or groups of objects or impressions, experimental models and testing modes of thinking and/or feeling. Beliefs, hypothesis, opinions, images, convictions and abstractions. 

Concepts are defined as abstract ideas or general notions that occur in the mind, in speech, or in thought. They are understood to be the fundamental building blocks of thoughts and beliefs. They play an important role in all aspects of cognition.[1][2] As such, concepts are studied by several disciplines, such as linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, and these disciplines are interested in the logical and psychological structure of concepts, and how they are put together to form thoughts and sentences. The study of concepts has served as an important flagship of an emerging interdisciplinary approach called cognitive science.[3]

In contemporary philosophy, there are at least three prevailing ways to understand what a concept is:[4]

Concepts can be organized into a hierarchy, higher levels of which are termed "superordinate" and lower levels termed "subordinate". Additionally, there is the "basic" or "middle" level at which people will most readily categorize a concept.[5] For example, a basic-level concept would be "chair", with its superordinate, "furniture", and its subordinate, "easy chair".

When the mind makes a generalization such as the concept of tree, it extracts similarities from numerous examples; the simplification enables higher-level thinking.

A concept is instantiated (reified) by all of its actual or potential instances, whether these are things in the real world or other ideas.

Concepts are studied as components of human cognition in the cognitive science disciplines of linguistics, psychology and, philosophy, where an ongoing debate asks whether all cognition must occur through concepts. Concepts are used as formal tools or models in mathematics, computer science, databases and artificial intelligence where they are sometimes called classes, schema or categories. In informal use the word concept often just means any idea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept

All modes of cognition are based on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual patterns.

All forms of design have a meaning and a purpose. All forms of design embrace the potential of going beyond thought and emotion.

Concepts are intuitively driven and made cognitively apparent by means of feeling.

Design fulcrums are synesthesiastic in character.

Synesthesia or synaesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[3][4][5][6]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia 

Balance can be attained by utilizing and implementing both the rational and conical fulcrums of perception and observation. Consciousness is an exercise in balancing each with the other.


THE RATIONAL (tetrahedral) FULCRUM

In essence, the rational design fulcrum hinges upon the reasonable, logical, clear, sensible, quantifiable, expressible, intelligent, commonsensical, sound, practical, pragmatic, grounded, normal, coherent, balanced, analytical.

The rational fulcrum represents linear thinking and emotional response. Dualistic in character and at times extreme in response, awareness can often appear to be a black or white issue. Balance can cause extreme reactions, misrepresentations and/or ill thought due to a lack of flexibility, adaptability and sequential thinking. One issue may have simply followed another in the past but everything changes - every situation is different. Linear thinking can easily ignore or misinterpret changes in context and observation thereby exhibiting a lack of flexibility necessary when functioning and processing unknown variables.


THE COMMON POINT OF AWARENESS

Each fulcrum comes to a point that corresponds with the intentions of the observer. Perfect balance, i.e. focus, is often short lived, appears in an instant and is a challenge to discover and retain. Gainful awareness is the prize for attaining a productive focus through symbolic expression and expansion. Both fulcrums are pointed in their own unique way facilitating a symbolic POV in reference to every observer. In this way design assists and enables awareness (the center point in every circle) to expand, explore and grow within its own field of consciousness.

Perception is generic. Focus is imperative in every observation. Life is found in the present.

Balance is difficult to find, experience and retain for lengths of time because Life is founded upon the active process of "balancing". Dualities purpose: to seek greater balance through self conscious awareness.

To be design conscious you must be more than an observer.

Design Realities Come to the Forefront - Part 2


Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

You’re looking deeply for fulfillment, unity and oneness. You’re in quest to discover the Truth by means of knowing the Source whose attributes can be found within you. This same Source likewise re-presents the challenges/opportunities that lead to greater expansion and growth beyond the constraints of duality towards unity/balance. Attempts may seem futile "in time" due to the multitude of confusing systems you have been conditioned into believing.

There is more to what you sense and what you think you know. The question remains; how will you discover the facts in support of feeling while simultaneously knowing that the Universe functions within the symbolic guise of change? We each re-present our own idea of truth in 3D space/time by means of design.

You never design alone. The simple fact is we exist, participate and create our own virtual world/s within a fractal construct, i.e. matrix/network, that changes and adapts in every quantum instant. This is our current POV as an observer focused within the contexts of space and time. 









We/you must create a network of Light for your/our selves to be made in tandem and cooperation with that of the Earth. We must design for/within the unique constructs/patterns of Gaia. Earth has its own network bridging both the known and the unknown, the conscious and the unconscious. **A pre-designed bridge spans the subconscious. The tool at your disposal is the design process. 

"We can find Nature outside us only if we have first learned to know her within us. What is akin to her within us must be our guide. This marks out our path of enquiry."
Rudolf Steiner

Interestingly enough we will soon come to discover that the conscious and unconscious are One of the same. Upon attaining balance you may soon realize that the Source, i.e. the Reality you truly seek, has always been within you. You/we are the Designer/s and fyi are all in the process of bringing balance to our reality.

I highly recommend contributing to the reconstruction, design and sustenance of a planetary network that supports and perpetuates the patterns, strengths and power of Nature. We must create our own network, i.e. system of energy transfer and transmutation to be appropriately integrated into Nature's own network. Balanced designs are created by means of symbolic (purposeful and meaningful) correspondences. Nature's designs require a quantum POV. Design at this level demands an adaptable POV, a center in which experiences can be quickly absorbed, collected/interpreted and responded to. 

Unsurprisingly you must intuit certain actions as being necessary in order to expand upon and from within the framework that houses your own cellular formation of consciousness as you read/interpret and respond to a wide range of symbolic meandering experienced throughout the balancing/design process. This challenge is met by implementing your point of view (design) into a virtual reality of your own making, i.e. a parallel universe. This is truly a unique position ... a reality, i.e. consciousness, shared at complementary octaves and frequencies that vibrate beyond the constraints associated with 3D space and time. Unsurprisingly, you’re doing that right now as you read and ponder upon this text, i.e. symbols.

Brain’s reaction to virtual reality should prompt further study, suggests new research

By creating virtual worlds stemming from your own experiences, you can begin to optimize your design focus (POV) by modeling certain choices about current and/or future actions and/or decision-making. Every situation you experience has been generated from within the cellular core of the planet. Gaia has participated in your sense of consciousness by means of creating the oceans/fields from which your present form/geometry has emerged. Due to the fact that the Earth is the material source supporting your vibratory status, the Earth will likewise harbor an aspect of your own awareness within the surrounding field of its own consciousness. 

Every virtual world you create models a potential reality for reference and refinement in the future of the planet. These scenarios represent possible futures within the timelines you've created by means of design. They contain potentials made in reference to the survival of humanity, the planet and every other agent of greater and lesser consciousness. 

Time creates a contextual framework for symbolic and metaphoric reason and reference and like space, remains a matter of selection when pondering upon every interpretation of what might constitute reality at that moment.


We each re-present a single perspective, i.e. point of view, based upon our own “experiences”. Every position is consistent with observations taken from within a vast ocean of universal energy, light and information. Dependent upon qualities attributed to our imagination, our creative expressions may or may not reach beyond the stars. It is imperative that we create and sustain our own POV with the inclusion and influence of others, solely in order to enter the creative mix. Each contribution adds another piece to the reality puzzle. 

Your imagination embraces a potential for further collective projection upon a virtual/holographic network we collectively interpret as being real and possibly into appropriate "formations" made applicable to current and/or future circumstances. Reality emerges before your consciousness as a reflection upon your own desires therefore increasing awareness and the willingness to make them so.

The drive to investigate into our own expression of Cosmic Intelligence/Consciousness by means of knowledge, understanding and wisdom is a passionate one. The passion is to contact/connect with this internal Source; to feel and bring into expression the driving force/current that exemplifies fulfillment, gratification and joy. Passion vibrates at a very high frequency. Passion is energy-in-motion on steroids. Passion is vital to any desire worth pursuing. However, passion is also capable of tipping your boat/process in the wrong direction if not focused and on target. A designation fixed upon the most noble intentions and highest frequency.

passionate showing or caused by strong feelings or a strong belief : passionate pleas for help | he's passionate about football.  • showing or caused by intense feelings of sexual love : a passionate kiss.  • dominated by or easily affected by intense emotion : a strong-minded and passionate man.

Truth is felt in the heart, imagined in the mind and made apparently real by virtue of design. Creation is an action in the form of an intention designed to connect events and experiences about a common source. It originates from a heartfelt frequency from within. Impressions collected in the form of images, thoughts and feelings swirl about every intention. The intuition implies direction while the imagination gathers the impressions that together bring about past/current and potential realizations into conscious awareness. 

Many of these impulses attempt to fill a need, a vacancy or imbalance in certain affairs, i.e. circumstance. How passionate one is about fulfilling such needs, i.e. imbalances, likewise helps "measure" the force required in support of a particular intention/objective/goal. These needs re-present themselves in the form of a series of symbolic gestures and impressions meant to resolve/satisfy them. These needs/desires are microcosmic re-presentations symbolizing multidimensional imbalances. Together they encourage and inspire the creative process to enter more subtle realms/fields of the highest frequency (quantum).

You project your desires daily, out and beyond your own concept/definition of self/reality and into what appears to be a chaotic, multidimensional contextual field of energy described as the "objective world". This realm as perceived/interpreted from your POV, appears virtual in essence and chaotic in character. It is from within this pseudo/symbolic reality that you attempt to apply/exercise your own insights into the form of concepts and ideas searching for the meaning and purpose in support of your own feelings and creations. Intuitively however, you know that the answer to such questions lie deep within your conceptual ability to understand, i.e consciousness.





You repeatedly return to what you believe to be the Source of your Intelligence. You have observed for yourself and have come to your own conclusion that such Intelligence exists. Intelligence has been presented to you in the form of the Nature that surrounds and penetrates you. You might view/interpret the sciences or the arts as systems of perception created, and designed to identify/describe/categorize/enlighten/expose you to these greater realities. You may also begin to realize that you are an integral part of this Intelligent network by virtue of what you have contributed to it.

Your becoming aware of a unique intelligence/singularity centered within and around you. We each exercise a unique type of intelligence/awareness of our own. By virtue of our own investigations we soon become cognizant of the multitude of patterns and configurations in search of balance, all made apparent by means a unique design process of their own. 

You exercise the gift of design because you sense that within the constructs of this chaotic universe, there are patterns that support and direct you towards making the right choices to go in the right direction. These are patterns previously designed through a multitude of re-sources. These patterns create the guidelines, i.e. the flags and the guideposts that support you/us, impressions never before realized. These impressions present themselves before us in the guise of symbol, metaphor, synchronicity and intuition. 




Signs, symbols and contexts change yet remain as catalysts that link every dimension of space/time. Consciousness saturates every dimension, design gives Consciousness its meaning and its purpose. 

Design is the process by which we live a multidimensional life.

Duality is a dimensional concept based upon a particular point of view taken within a set range of limited choice. Linearity can reach beyond the constraints of 3D space/time as well as the concept of unity and wholeness ... if the symbols harmonize within the chosen dimensions of interest. The most appropriate choice is the one that propagates the concept of balance. From what position and frame of references do you choose to create/design your reality?

Linearity/duality is a process that if necessary, can reach beyond the constraints of 3D space/time. It is a human perception/interpretation/methodology used to bring a certain degree of order out of chaos.

The importance is not in the idea that a quark is measurable not, but rather it being the creation of a situation designed to support a particular POV. The key to every observation/discovery is: what you believe as being real becomes so by virtue of the context/constraints in which your focus presents itself, i.e. appears to you as an observer. You have the power of choice to determine what you feel and what you must create. However, you must also experience the ramifications of that choice within the same or a similar context in which you project your intentions.

Recognition is the result of all the signs/symbols in which you are engaged being united by virtue of the resonance created between them.
 In other words, you supplied/presented part of a greater/complex puzzle (consciousness) to yourself by virtue of the vibratory resonance created between the source (you), the "electricity" ignited by your desire/s, in addition to the "magnetism" surrounding the design of your choice. 

This methodology may likewise be applied/extended when attempting to design within the unbridled vista of a quantum field appearing as a ... symbolic observation followed by conscious intent. The design process remains while the symbols carrying the focus of a particular consciousness/awareness, i.e. POV, change in reference to the context in which they are applied/directed. In design everything appears to change and does. 

"Duality is in the eyes of the beholder."

Design allows us to create our own reality. Design harbors the power of both the conscious and the unconscious. The subconscious creates the bridge, the symbolic connection between dimensions. The subconscious is part of a universal field of awakening and evolutionary progress designed towards the attainment, execution and maintenance of balance. 

The subconscious field/dimension of energy provides a symbolic portal into every situation and event you've already experienced. The subconscious is your symbolic toy box. Which toys do you wish to play with today and in the future? The subconscious creates the intermediary "space" necessary for you to play, exercise your gifts, your power and your ability to make a choice. You may envision this state of consciousness as a "region", i.e field, filled with all that you desire, feel and know is important and of consequence. Your subconscious is instrumental in describing who you are, what you can do and how you create and how you design. This is a region of choice and abundance. 

You are the only one who can willingly contribute to its creation, development and evolution. The subconscious is the buffer, the zone, the play ground between practice and the real game, the field where your desires, goals and objectives can be played out by your intuition and imagination before made conscious. Which toys are you going to play with? You're the one who creates them. You're the one who designs your/our world with them ...  with help from your friends. 

The concept of reality is multidimensional in context and quantum in character. You are now where you've chosen/desired to be. It is by choice that you allowed/agreed/succumbed/accepted, a position which includes the designs of others to guide/control and/or dominate your own perception/definition of reality. Consciousness is a design of our own choosing. 

You are probably reading this text while simultaneously pondering upon the best/most appropriate way in which to understand and/or comprehend it. What are the most meaningful symbols (toys) in your toy box? Your awareness can be literally and figuratively in two places/states at the same time. You can be in one "space" while simultaneously observing another … if you so choose. You do it all the time every day. Welcome to the power of the imagination. Welcome to the realm of the quantum. Welcome to design metaphysics. 

"When we have learned through a period of finely honed training to live in Imaginative Thinking, when we can engage the whole of our being in this Imaginative Thinking, we find that it immerses us in a reality hitherto unknown to us."
Rudolf Steiner

Welcome to just one key in a chain of keys designed to awake consciousness by means of attraction, resonance and awareness. These keys appear in the form of signs and symbols that take on many shapes and forms. You've used these keys before, most without knowing; keys that move the tumblers and open the lock to a consciousness of your own making. These are keys to old and new playgrounds where you've played played and participated before. Many call it dreamtime.

Have you used keys borrowed from somewhere or someone else? Have you learned, or been told, your designs were inappropriate? In hindsight, have you learned it to be true, in a time and a space only you know to be true. Have you investigated into your own situation to know, as fact, that what you believe in is true? These are the design questions only you can discover for yourself. 

The purpose in support of duality from a new point of wholeness might now become better felt/understood and placed into its own "context", while your design process continues to expand and contract within dimensions yet to experienced and never before considered. By Nature you will continue to design the keys and the locks that allow you to choose and discover who you are. 

figurative departing from a literal use of words; metaphorical : gold, in the figurative language of the people, was “the tears wept by the sun.” (of an artist or work of art) representing forms that are recognizably derived from life.

literally adverb in a literal manner or sense; exactly : the driver took it literally when asked to go straight across the traffic circle | tiramisu, literally translated “pick me up.”
• informal used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true : I have received literally thousands of letters.
USAGE In its standard use, literally means ‘in a literal sense, as opposed to a nonliteral or exaggerated sense,’: : I told him I never wanted to see him again, but I didn't expect him to take it literally . In recent years, an extended use of literally (and also literal) has become very common, where literally (or literal) is used deliberately in nonliteral contexts, for added effect: : they bought the car and literally ran it into the ground. This use can lead to unintentional humorous effects ( : we were literally killing ourselves laughing) and is not acceptable in formal English.

Greater consciousness along with the attainment of Oneness takes the POV of an Observer. The power of choice alerts us to the differences between positions, i.e. POV, while simultaneously directing us to observe a collective awareness that unites us all. Duality is a by-product of this particularly unique quality supporting the concept of choice.


Differences are absorbed into achievements. Progress is a function of greater awareness. Growth can be discovered within a greater context by new formations of awareness, highly connected, i.e. loving and compassionate network/s that together give strength to a greater reality/consciousness of their/our own making. These achievements are available and for the taking if we as a species choose to do so.



Ray and Charles Eames

I was told that the famous designer Charles Eames was once asked if he ever was forced to compromise, i.e. his position, idea, research, approach, methodology, intention, solution or result. His response: I never compromised, but I willingly worked within constraints.





Together we each bring a certain characteristic to the mix … its a human “quality” that is re-presented, made symbolic and metaphorical to every conscious observer. Our frequency is apparent and universal. It’s a vibratory thing that all have the ability to perceive. 

You emerge from a virtual wholeness at a certain time, space, dimension and period and into an already established system of light, energy and information designed to initiate and bring into fruition your being-ness. Yes, you in your wholeness, are already an integral part of a network that affords you the sustenance to expand within the perimeters and constraints of your own consciousness. 

Oneness is a concept that includes both lesser (micro) and greater (macro) fields of awareness that together substantiate you within a field of your own consciousness. Yes, this is the same universe that can be viewed as chaotic, unorganized, unknown and unapproachable. Essentially it is if you're not resonating with/in its highest vibrations. You are a designer, a creator meant to bring balance to both yourself and the greater field/dimension in which you are a conscious participant.

The idea of there being a conscious state and an unconscious state are symbolic propositions meant to describe the limitations intrinsic within the concept of duality. In Truth however all is Conscious. A dualistic posture merely describes the limitations (constraints) surrounding a particular perspective (POV) chosen as your own.

You are both the subject and object of a design of you own making. Consider this: you are an integral participant of a consortium of designers in the process of expanding in consciousness by means of what you individually and collectively design/create. We are each a fractal participant of a greater awareness/consciousness; i.e. a light/spark, an integral part of a conscious geometry greater than any individual pattern.

This life long venture brings to realization a principle shared at every level, which is the convention surrounding the maintenance of balance and harmony throughout the design process. Balance becomes a collective objective when designing within the dimensional constraints of duality. This principle is implied within the domain of the Tao whose primary theme is to bring awareness the importance of our dependency and relationship with Nature, i.e. Gaia. Our survival and sustenance is intimately related to our contributions to the design of our planet. Maintaining earthly balance is fundamental to the existence of every design at every scale, e.g. planetary, solar, galactic, etc. in which this current matrix/network is founded and connected.




The “time” when the point becomes the line initiates the desire to create/design your own reality/experience. This geometric metaphor symbolizes the urge to bring unity to the field/context of consciousness, which locates and determines your own presence. It is the beginning of a concerted effort to bring to fruition the "substances" that allow your dreams/desires to be realized. It demonstrates the power of creativity; energy-in-motion (e-motion) given a direction in order to bring meaning and purpose to that which you desire to experience. This impulse encapsulates the concept of design.

The thrust of great desire re-enters a swirling field of eddies in the relative form of a consciousness that is in eternal motion and  ceaselessly enfolding upon itself . Such impressions and interpretations like this post, harbor the symbols and experiences of a designer/creator. You/we likewise contribute to a reality that along with others, appears to be an "emergent materialization" upon the surface of this planet. The choice has always been yours/ours. What may cause you to think or believe that every design in support and interpretation of an all-knowing Omnipotent Source would be any different?



"You can get an idea of human nature only when you can see the relationship of the individual human being to the whole cosmos."
Rudolf Steiner

To be design conscious you must be more than an observer.
