In an age where reasoning prevails all knowledge of communication and construction of common values we as the individual look increasingly to sources of information for validations in consensus of that which we practice and of the levels of interaction between our social awareness and personal being.Assessments of image, acquired of taste and opinion inherited from ideals are accents of a lifestyle which concomitantly is a themed recognition of that which controls the self as capable of governing mankind. In saying this where doesn't one rule out the self if the individual is present and in a similitude with an equally cohesive host. What is important is measured from our understanding of how we derive a dependent origin. There is a model for this underlying problem and it is Indra's net, "Imagine a multidimensional spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image." Alan Watts illustrates definitively the constant of a process which is concerned with identification of oneness from a collective view yet also highlights the premise of enjoining in clarity as an elucidation of achievement.
Enlightenment and dependent origination are the key foundation concepts within Buddhist perspective and is it not in breaking through or essentially out of formulae to achieve you may mould a form based on the working of a mechanism, motivation will yield a likeness which resembles truth to any meaning for purpose, but merely represent productivity ultimately.
Through filtered systems of interaction which have developed consequently upon enlightenment from generations of predecessors before us its not without prejudice or devolution we are witness; amid any social structure one can be a whole yet it cannot be many, alone.
It is a precision of result which exhibits through direct application of an entity to completeness and can be admired with even an indirect awareness in the omniscient such is a dew drop a jewel reconstructed by itself a facet of prominence, an exclamation of a concept manifold yet exclusive.
If we place our being within this 'age' as we have so questioned to measure a prosperity, hereditary supercedence may elapse at the outstretching consummate oneness of Indra's net, to unfold the very being that is ourselves as a pure conception. Shifting a network of reliance also determines a structure illicit to necessity which in accordance with an enlightened concept bears fundamental resonance and in such belies rhetoric and image, it is the essence of realization.
