I was attracted to your article by the topic - emergence. I also believe there is some interest that is growing in this subject. I come at it by trying to understand theories of change; the natural processes (not intended nor intelligent processes) that create it and the realities that are discovered and shared within it. Every thing one can say is rooted in a language, a common understanding in a community of a shared reality. This is the starting point which we already possess.

Yet when something new appears to an individual, something previously not shared within his community, it is for him who saw it, to introduce and express that new thing to the community, but first he must introduce it to himself. The word for poet comes from the Greek ποίησις (making) ‘the activity in which a person brings something into being that did not exist before.’ Poets are said to have made the world of our experience by having introduced the words and concepts for our experience that we can thereafter share in understanding and conversation. I believe that some individuals may experience much in their living that they do not have the language to express. Perhaps not.

I will take a look at The Kybalion. Thank you. Good day to you
