Gospel Koan 60.1

Meaning as Intending

Koan 60.1

All being: 'action to be' means: 'intends' to accumulate power: 'ability' via the path of least resistance, thus easing dukkha: 'unease'.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism is ontological intention, defined as the inherent drive of any existent to augment its power—its capacity to act and persist. A single, potent example is a plant growing roots toward a water source; its very being is an action intending to accumulate the ability to sustain itself by following the most efficient path available, thereby alleviating its fundamental unease. The implication is that being is not a static state but a dynamic, teleological process aimed at power consolidation. Dukkha is thus the ontological friction that this process seeks to minimize, revealing reality as a field of strategic, intention-driven actions.
