Explanation

Society-self

• A society can be any congregation of people
• A self can be any volatile state of heart
• In an overview of living, there is no distinction between society & self for both are of one – the one-ness of life
• However,
• When life comes down to the specifics, like zooming in for magnification, disparity, difference & distribution are increasingly enhanced
• Differentiations & distinctions are not only prevalent, but necessary for life in its overall one-ness to continue
• This comes from the intrinsic nature of life – its relativity that leads to segmentation & inter-connections
• To see relative phenomenon is to compare & contrast – to bring out, to separate from the whole, from the one-ness
• In segregation comes segmentation, from segmentation comes u, me & them termed society
• From society comes further segmentation due to its relativity comes further u, me & them termed self
• This process of segregation, segmentation & sectoring can be infinite, like the fractals of chaotic origins
• Who says life is not chaotic?
• This gives rise to living units – perceptual, idealistic models segregated from the wholistic reality termed divisionism
• But, "No man is an island" – the living units are actually coupled, inter-related, inter-connected, inter-active components of the living whole
• For life to continue, segregation & inter-connections need to progress in tandem, inseparable without the other
• To live is to separate, yet to live is to relate
• Isn’t it intriguing?

Harmonics of life

• In the music of life, the one-ness is the composition that dynamically resonates throughout
• To sound living, the music needs to be cohesive, synchronous & continuously flowing
• Cohesion implies bonding & coupling within segregation & segmentation
• Synchronism encompasses simultaneity & spontaneity
• Continuity embodies progression in one-ness
• Let’s take the view of society-self
• Cohesion requires first, segregation, then coupling & vice versa
• The living units can experience 4 experiences:

1. Unconnected, Separated: displaced, dislodged & disengaged from the whole, feeling lonely
2. Inter-connected, Unseparated: going with the whole, feeling moved
3. Inter-connected but Separated: maintaining a distance with the whole, feeling cautious
4. Unconnected, Unseparated: unsegregated, unbonded, feeling undisturbed

• Synchronism needs bonding between the inter-connected as well as realization of the unconnected
• Continuity, stemmed from the one-ness of life, ensures the ever-flowing of the music of life
• Segregating music, it can be composed of tones, pitches, highs & lows, different instruments played by different people at different times & places with different feelings
• Connecting music, the sounds, rhythms & rhapsodies fuse together in cohesion, synchronism & continuity
• Yet,
• When the musical units are segregated, they have its own attributes
• In itself, it is segregated & inter-connected
• Continuity of each musical unit amidst the highs & lows – its harmonics
• Harmonics can be recurring, periodic, cyclic nature with arbitrary periods & starting conditions (though the head would end in its tail)
• The ensemble of musical units gives rise to ensemble harmonics – the combinations of decentralized highs & lows within the central one-ness
• Yet, in the whole, the unit harmonics are not lost but merged in
• Any tune of life would then be composed of the bonding of society-self harmonics of which there are 4 aspects:

1. High harmonics: low periods, rapidly recurring, fast-paced, accelerating, feeling tensed
2. Medium harmonics: nominal periods, unhurried, feeling in equilibrium
3. Low harmonics: large periods, slowly recurring, slow-paced, decelerating, feeling relaxed
4. Non-harmonics: arbitrary periods, coming from without (society tunes) or from within (self tunes), feeling confused

• At the singularity of living one-ness, the music of life ceases its resonance due to mutual cancellation of cohesion, synchronism & continuity
• As trajectory travels away from the singularity, the music of life is amplified together with relativity as well as segregation & interconnection
• The music that we hear is then the result of segregation & bonding
• The life that we live is the ensemble of one-ness (heavenly tunes), society (earthly tunes) & self (heart tunes)
• The ensemble nature of life would mask its intrinsic, inherent & integral harmonics
• Yet they are not lost, they can be masked, over-shadowed, over-looked or even ignored
• But they (the segregated harmonics) are real & truly present, here together with anyone of us
• To uncover these harmonics is to be aware, is to be listening, is to be feeling, is to be low frequency
• To understand these harmonics is of high-frequency feeling
• To neglect these harmonics is of non-harmonics
• To feel these harmonics is of medium frequency, the shortest to either extremes

Living

• Living exhibits:

1. Separations: expect, be ready to accept at medium frequency
2. Inter-connections, coupling, bonding: embrace at low frequency
3. Cyclic harmonics: follow closely at high frequency; when down, prepare for rise; when up, be cautious

• A fulfilling life is a wholesome life, one approximating one-ness
• It is also a balanced firm-flexible life, thoroughly embodying the three living natures, yet able to maneuver effortlessly
