(12,712 posts)You could say it started with a basic ignorance and that that continued with karma (action/intention/cause and effect) within the dependent arising of all phenomena (interdependent relationships), since beginningless time, but that is bigger, more abstract sounding context and is probably seen as "meta" or apolitical.
The wheel does go 'round and 'round though. We do tend to get lost in the contents and ignore the process. The process is like knowing how to tie a shoe. The content is the particular pair of laces on a particular shoe, etc. A process is the formula or structure that can be applied to various situations and circumstances, so it is a functional and demonstrable aspect of experience.
Now...back to your regularly scheduled thread. Excuse me.
