FACTOR # 20. And the many viewpoints, interacting, become dependent upon one another’s forms and do not choose to distinguish completely the ownership of dimension points and so comes about a dependency upon the dimension points and upon the other viewpoints.

The human viewpoints are narrow and subjective to various degrees. They have differences of opinions. As they interact, they share their ideas, prejudices and beliefs. This leads to agreements. These viewpoints then become bound by such agreements. This expresses itself as cultural conditioning.

A viewpoint has two choices: either to get rid of its conditioning, or to bring about similar conditioning in others. We see both of these phenomena occurring in religion, politics and cultural assimilation.

KHTK FACTOR # 20: And many viewpoints, interacting, come to agree on subjective opinions, prejudices and beliefs. And so, they become dependent on agreements thus generated.

.

Subjectivity is different from person to person, or from viewpoint to viewpoint. However, there is overlap and there come about agreement and certain uniformity in perceiving, thinking and behavior.

Thus, there is religion, politics, and cultural assimilation.

FACTOR # 18. It is the opinion of the viewpoints that some of these forms should endure. Thus there is survival.

From the universal viewpoint, there is simply evolution that is continuous, harmonious and consistent. From the human viewpoint, there are discontinuities, disharmonies and inconsistencies that express themselves as the turbulence of life.

The human effort is to resolve the turbulence of life by restoring continuity, harmony and consistency of the universal viewpoint.

KHTK FACTOR # 18: The human viewpoint sees turbulence among these forms and it endeavors to settle it through prayer, meditation, art, and science. Thus there is evolution.

.

Prayer is the longing for freedom from turbulence. Meditation is an effort to let go of existing conditioning. Art is the search for new viewpoints that go beyond the mundane human existence. Science uses a more systematic approach to expand the human viewpoint.

Here we have evolution of the human thought.

FACTOR # 16. The viewpoint can combine dimension points into forms and the forms can be simple or complex and can be at different distances from the viewpoints and so there can be combinations of form. And the forms are capable of motion and the viewpoints are capable of motion and so there can be motion of forms.

The dimension points are seen as they are, only from the universal viewpoint. Here the nature of dimension points and the universal viewpoint is synonymous, which makes the dimension points change, combine and evolve in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. This may be described best as self-animation. This is the real motion.

But the viewpoints commonly encountered are less than universal. A subjective filter polarizes the dimension points and viewpoints making the dimension points appear external to viewpoints. The synonymity is lost and the changes, combinations and evolution are attempted through enforcement and control as there is mystery about their nature. There are misperceptions, misjudgments and departures from reality. This is unnatural motion.

KHTK FACTOR # 16: The dimension points combine into more complex forms that move in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. Their synonymity with the universal viewpoint makes it self-animation. But lesser viewpoints see it as a motion external to them.

.

We all have self-animation that we hardly ever think about, but that is the true motion. All other motion that we are trying to control is coming from the inability to have the universal viewpoint.
