Mystisystems™ Is

A systems understanding of existence using the polarity of subjective & objective sciences. Both are essential. Mystisystems™ empirically explores the reality that depends, not upon belief, but upon actual,direct experience. Mystisystems™ explores the complexity of reality, a reality, which has its two sides, Objective and Subjective.

The Subjective side of Mystisystems™

Subjective Article # 1
The next article will post on or about December 15, 2007

This Mystisystems™ article, written by Yogiraj, explores the individual and group Subjective perspectives. The Subjective perspective is both the personal and intuitive meaning that an individual makes from their own interior experience..

The Objective side of Mystisystems™

Objective Article # 1
Next article will post on or about December 15, 2006

This Mystisystems™ article, written by Yogiraj, explores the individual and group Objective exterior perspectives.

The Objective perspective is what Ken Wilber refers to as the “it” experience. This perspective is composed of both the empirical rules governing actions and outcomes, and also the systemic behaviors that give meaning to symbols, and culture.

Journal Notes to Date:

I am reading The Sexual Contract by Carole Pateman as part of the research for what I anticipate will be my next book. It is about the history of contract theory, which she uses to take us through women’s history of oppression. Illuminating and dense. It answers some questions I have been carrying around regarding the issues of oppression. There is a corresponding book, which I guess is inspired by hers, The Racial Contract, which I will read when I finish Pateman’s book.

This book has inspired some significant conversations with my mother, and is influencing new dialog with my children. These three years of sabbatical are decidedly impacting my spiritual condition and deepening my understanding of mysticism. I am anticipating that the new curriculum and models coming out of this period of self-study will become significant tools in the next phase of my life.

Namaste
I bow to the Light within you where we are one.
