Hi Marsha
Greetings Magnus,
Is gravity a pattern? Is Sir Isaac Newton a pattern? Are trees
patterns? Is Einstein's Theory of Relativity a pattern? Is the MoQ a
pattern? Is the color red a pattern? Is my computer a pattern? Are
your thoughts about cats a pattern? Is your experience with a cat a
pattern? Is time a pattern? Is light a pattern? Are any one of these
not a pattern? Is there any 'thought or thing' that is not a pattern?
I agree with Christoffer, every *thing* is a pattern. As P wrote in Lila:
"nothing is left out. No 'thing,' that is. Only Dynamic Quality, which cannot be
described in any encyclopedia, is absent."
Another way to describe it is to start with the quality event, the experiencing.
A thing contains patterns of level x if (and only if) it can be a part of an
experience of level x. If you don't want to involve the levels right now, we can
just remove that and get:
A thing contains patterns if (and only if) it can be a part of an experience.
What can you say about patterns besides 'they are other than DQ'? Does
any patterns exist independently?
No, it's only a pattern if it can be a part of an experience, and an experience
requires two parts, the subject and the object.
Is there a pattern that inherently exists?
No.
What is a pattern?
One half of each experience.
Magnus
