Thus, books are not endless strings of words and sentences but instead form an
array of worlds in rotation that, while infinite in expression, always find their
rooting through the central element uniting and binding them.
The structure of books is a reflection of the world at large. Each creation a center-
oriented world in rotation—i.e. hosts of swirling ‘parts’ organized into larger,
coherent wholes about an originating and anchoring center.
By projecting the structure of books on the world at large, we can begin to appreciate
how nature’s many other marvels of creation might come into being. How, for
instance might swarms of subatomic particles come together to form higher and
higher agglomerations of atoms and molecules around centrally organized nuclear
and electromagnetic forces. How cells might join in larger tissue agglomerations
through the same central strand of DNA they share. How worlds of individuals
might join in higher and higher groupings of neighborhoods, cities, states, and
nations around central organizing symbols, institutions, and meanings. How
millions of individual neurons could merge into greater and greater associations
of images and meanings until they arrived at the remarkably wonderful conscious
thought in your mind. We might even imagine the greatest of all worlds in rotation
–the entire universe itself bringing forth all things from a central well of divine
creation at its core.
We’re brought face-to-face with a profound, yet delightful, conclusion. Nature
and life’s seemingly static make-up is an illusion. Beneath the surface of reality we
dwell upon exists a much larger and greatly interconnected sea of relationships. In
fact, we find that no matter the condition or circumstance, wherever energy flows,
change occurs, matter accumulates, dualistic counterparts collide, or parts merge
to form wholes; the things of our world find themselves irresistibly drawn into
creative arrangements about powerful and organizing centers.
A Universal Pattern
It’s no wonder the primary forms of nature are the
center-oriented forms of spirals, circles, spheres,
radials, clusters, and branching systems—they all
share an overall inward flowing shape as a natural
result of the center-oriented dynamics that created
the form.
Centerpatterns come in practically any size, shape, texture, form, and function.
Their shape underlies things the size of atoms and universes. Their parts can be
as directly connected as the spokes of a wheel to its hub, or as loosely connected
as nations of people about shared feelings of national pride. Their form can be as
tightly bound as the crystals of a snowflake, or as loosely formed as ants circling an
ant hill. Their boundaries can be as sharply defined as a property line or as loosely
defined as the extended volume of air converging on your lungs.
