Perspectives

Some say existence itself, as we know it, exists solely through the contrast of perspectives.

For each problem, each conflict, there are countless levels of perspectives — some lower order, some higher order, some group, some individual, some abstract, some concrete, some static, some dynamic. While some perspectives are broader than others, no single perspective can be deemed correct — they are simply different. Some would even say all perspectives are perfectly counterbalanced with each other.

In a conflict situation, the process of explicitly mapping out perspectives and their relationships can untangle the web of resulting confusion, frustration, and suffering.. This process might seem convoluted at first, but as the process unfolds, our thoughts, emotions, and projections assemble themselves into clear relationships.

The approach of asserting one perspective over another is an immaturity we as a world must learn to mature past if we are to survive as a planet. What this site hopes to provide, based on a meditative groundwork, is a mapping out of the full set of potential perspectives and types of perspectives.  The very act of doing so can lead to an unraveling of the tangled knot of human conflict.
