Gospel Koan 30.2

All Being is Relationship

Koan 30.2

The Gospel: 'God spell' is cast such that every being realizes interdependently with others; no being is free: 'unbound'.

Summary Exposition

This koan’s mechanism is interdependent co-arising, where every entity achieves its condition of being only through its constitutive relations within a total system. A tree cannot realize its 'treeness' in isolation; it is defined by and dependent upon the soil, sunlight, and atmosphere, which in turn are defined by their own relational matrices. The implication is that the cosmos operates as a single, indivisible spell of mutual definition, where the very concept of an independent, self-sufficient being is a fallacy. All identity and existence are fundamentally relational, never autonomous or unbound.
