Emergence

  • The appearance of higher orders of complexity in systems.
  • The bootstrapping of higher orders of complexity.
  • The bootstrapping of higher orders of creation.
  • The bootstrapping of higher orders of expression.
  • The process by which a transcendent agency “breathes” itself into a system through the elements that are already present in the system.
  • Emergence occurs in all systems of sufficient complexity.
  • Emergence is both a horizontal process of self-organization, and a vertical orchestration of the Self.
  • Emergence is orchestrated by the intelligence of Divinity/God/Source.
  • Emergence works with and through pre-existing elements while bringing something new into expression.
  • Emergence brings new information and energy into creation beyond what can be completely accounted for in terms of pre-existing elements.
  • The intelligence which orchestrates emergence transcends and interpenetrates that which is emerging.
  • The horizontal and vertical aspects of emergence operate as a single process in which the horizontal provides continuous feedback to the vertical.

Sayings:

  • Consciousness does not emerge from the physical universe. The physical universe emerges from consciousness.
