A Whole Self

Every city is like a total universe, for it contains that which is being born, that which is living out its life, and that which is dying. It contains the dead, the unborn, and that overall uniting force that impels intent and design and endless redesign.

Is the mind not such a city? When it looks at what is possible, does it not see room for hope? When the mind looks at what is, does it not see life going on, see birth, continuance, and death, the whole meta-system? When it looks at the intersection between these two worlds, the possible and the ongoing, can it see how to do? If it has intention.

Is the world such a city? What is mankind's intention? What is organic life's intention?

Can a man redesign himself? Can life redesign the world?
