Gospel Koan 100.7

Transformation is Relative

Koan 100.7

All transformation is a conference of difference—Amen.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism defines all transformation as a conference—a deliberate coming-together and negotiation—between differing entities, forces, or conditions, which is the fundamental event of reality. A single, potent example is a chemical reaction, where the distinct electronic structures of different atoms confer and bond, transforming their individual properties to create a new compound with emergent characteristics. The ultimate implication, signified by 'Amen', is that this principle is the absolute and final word on the nature of change: reality is a continuous, multilateral dialogue of differences, and there is no transformation that is not this collaborative, generative encounter.
