Alan Watts Being in the Way

NOTE

Unity in Diversity

The behavior of living organisms cannot be described without considering the environment, forming a unified field called organism-environment. This unity doesn't annihilate differences but is manifested through differentiations. The unity of opposites, seen in concepts like buying and selling or Yin and Yang, is essential. This perspective merges everything without annihilating differences, emphasizing that interconnectedness coexists with uniqueness. The argument that perceiving everyone as part of a divine source hinders real love collapses when considering the Christian Trinity where three persons are one God. Thus, the concept of unity in diversity underpins various cultural and religious beliefs.
