The Old Testament Bible, Isaiah by Isaiah: "11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." The image of the 'lion sleeps with the lamb' having its origins in Isaiah, besides the popular meaning of world peace, could have meaning within..a peace apprehensible
The Lion and the Lamb
Indeterminism. How much can be uttered philosophically about a notion that does not lend itself to logic?..where in any direction, the path of logic is short and ends in indeterminacy, like zero divided by zero, or infinity times any entity. Given that the universal reality exists without time, in that it is eternal, something must be indeterminate within and without, for one to be in tune with eternity, here and now.
There is fate..and determinism. Much is fated, or pre'ordained in proportion to its resistance to change. This is true for the portion of all that belongs or has given itself over to the quantum reality, which is quanta because it is controlled. And it has been reported that the preponderance of 'all and everything' belongs to the quantum reality..all except for two or one percent..perhaps less. That portion of 'all and everything' that is not a part of the quantum reality is indeterminate. Therefore, what is indeterminate in me merits at least a few words.
Survival is binary. One effects survival as a member of a group or as an individual. Survival is key. Survival is essential. So utterly necessary is survival that one has a brain dedicated for each. The iocentric Lion, the sociocentric Lamb..each mapping its sensations and thoughts according to its respective centers. For the Lion, what makes it unique among lions..for the Lamb, what it shares..has in common with other lambs. By what is unique and by what is shared, one perceives the space, the things, and its motion. A stereo perception..in resonance that watches and witnesses the events on Earth and within the celestial heavens.
When the 'lion sleeps with the lamb,' two mutually exclusive frames of mind assume the equal ability to bind, configure, and direct energy..the Chi eternally flows..a resonance between them, a rapport with eternal energy, from which perpetual motion is maintained. Both with its own instincts of survival. Each with its own criteria for transcendental metamorphosis. Neither altogether one or the other, one is both, with only instinct guiding which to be.
