Gospel Koan 20.1

Belief as Grant of Leave

Koan 20.1:

The Gospel, the conference of difference, believes: ‘grants leave’ in potential synergy: ‘being able to work together’ in realising.

Summary exposition:

The central mechanism is the ontological permission for distinct entities to collaborate in a state of potential, not yet actualized, synergy. A potent example is the relationship between a seed and the soil; the Gospel grants leave for their cooperative potential to become a tree, but does not mandate the specific form or timing of this realization. The fundamental implication is that reality is structured not by deterministic laws but by an open field of possible collaborations, where being is a dynamic invitation to co-create outcomes from a foundation of latent, harmonious capacity rather than pre-ordained design.
