Ok then, I think I see what you mean now.

Sounds like what we were discussing in that other thread, the psyche (or information). But just as what you've said about yin and yang, I think information and energy are also inseparable. With that though, if the energy is unpredictable, the information about it is chaotic. But if there's a pattern to it and this pattern can be influenced, that is the transformation of consciousness I'm getting at.


By the way, going with the 'river' analogy that I've heard so much of might make my intentions of what I wish to discuss in these threads: how do you change the course of a river? That's the transformation of consciousness. How do you get a larger river? Add more water. That's the construction of a new base shape information structure that Anagogy was talking about (right, Anagogy?). Alternatively, instead of rivers, you could think of water currents in an ocean.
