Freud and Wilber call this need to expand eros

It seems increasingly obvious to me that the universe is the product of infinity manifesting in finite space. The evolution of the material universe is a reflection of the devolution of spiritual infinity into space. As I believe Sri Aurobindo has said, the teleological endpoint of matter is its divinization - where the below emerges in the above (aka holonic transcendence). So our lives are the stories of different finite perspectives continuously interacting with infinite possibility. Finite perspectives/structures exist by a principal of minimization - reducing complexity and depth through contextual parsimony. Parsimony is water running down a drain. Order emerges as the pattern of greatest resonance - the easiest ways to connect two points. The mind acts this way as well. All holons are frequency modulators.

If a person recorded all thoughts they had in a day (impossible really), they would notice a natural spectrum of thought patterns. If you were to compare your thought-notes to some one else, you'd probably find that their spectrum of experience is much different, yet in some ways, very similar. This would lead to understand that we are victims of our own perspectives - our world-views limit ourselves in ways we are not ready (or too blind) to see. The recognition of this fact necessitates a continuous quest to overcome the limitations of self. Freud and Wilber call this need to expand eros.

All life can become a practice to try to see each event in challenging and newly relevant ways. We are expanding. We are becoming more complex. There is a divine pressure to incorporate as much finiteness of experience as is possible by an individualized unit/structure of consciousness. The immanence of infinity in all things reminds us that we are, at the root, an eternal, endless being that reveals itself as an ontological progression of the widening of perspective. This progression is the dance of holonic vibrations, penetrating the depths of souls and the breadth of seas. Posted on Feb 11th, 2007 by Peter
