The elements include, but are not limited to: 1. All the sounds from what is happening around us moment by moment. 2. All the visual stimuli from light entering our eyes and registering in our eyes' central and peripheral vision. 3. All the smells and tastes registered in our noses and mouths. 4. Tactile sensations through touch and interior body sensations. 5. The personal and social signals within our interactions with other persons and groups within evolving personal relationships and communal contexts. 6. News stories about what is happening in the wider world around us; within the physical, social, political, plant, animal, religious, scholarly, scientific, military, astronomical and conceptual environments all around us. 7. Evolutions in human conceptions of: virtues, vices, ideals, values, principles, grounds-for-hope, and occasions for fear-and-anxiety. ------------------ Much also depends upon how we apprehend, perceive, represent and communicate our images of the inter- relationships among the elements of which we are aware: 1. In literal visual-images like photographs or paintings; to the extent that we see and remember and represent them in our diverse ways. 2. In verbal representations which make use of written, spoken, sung and whispered words; with or without music/rhythm. 3. In musical compositions making use of various musical instruments, including the human voice; with or without words. 4. In epic stories of human experiences within adventures and explorations within time, space, and evolving human relationships. 5. In mathematical representations of objective relationships between/among animate and inanimate objects/beings within all-scales of-size in-time-and-space from the tiniest-to-largest: strings, quarks, pions, mesons, bosons, protons, electrons, gravitons, atoms, molecules, cells, organs, animals, communities, meteor- ites, asteroids, rocks, mountains, plates, moons, planets, stars, star-clusters, galaxies, galactic- clusters, black-holes, mega-clusters, etc. ------------------ Much also depends upon how we envision the possibilities for cooperation in integrative ways --- to transcend past traditions of unilateral --- NEGATIONS, CONFRONTATIONS, COERCIONS, VIOLENCES, DISINTEGRATIONS, FRUSTRATIONS, REPRESSIONS, SUPPRESSIONS, DISHONESTY, COLLUSIONS, CONTENTIONS, AND EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE DOMINANCE AND CONTROL OVER EACH OTHER in the ways of shalom and peace. ------------------ Our visions may be mediated via: pictures, paintings, poems, stories, novels, novelty, spontaneity, plans, rules commandments, scriptures, scripts, roles, ideal-forms, formalities, formulas, conformity --- that will be healthy and integrative only when they are free of --- NEGATIONS, CONFRONTATIONS, COERCIONS, VIOLENCES, DISINTEGRATIONS, FRUSTRATIONS, REPRESSIONS, SUPPRESSIONS, DISHONESTY, COLLUSIONS, CONTENTIONS, AND EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE DOMINANCE AND CONTROL OVER EACH OTHER in the ways of shalom and peace. Enjoy Peace through Shalom! (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
