Seamlessness: 

it occurs to me that perhaps there should a branch of science that's devoted purely to the study of seamlessness, how everything is interdependent upon the existence of something else, entwined, and how one aspect of science really can't be studied by itself, but always included as the whole. It's taking a seamless view of the universe and studying it's relations. As well as specializing in a particular branch, a scientist would be trained in this inclusion, knowing that there's really no objectivity involved, that they belong fully to the subject of their study. This would involve learning to meditate, methods of self-inquiring and deep contemplation. A scientist would know and understand that they belong within the whole area of their study, life, consciousness, the universe at large.

all being really, just one thing. 

seamlessness.

this thought came to me as I was reading about the noosphere, particularly as expressed by French scientist/philosopher/and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, that there is a realm of consciousness that exist in a similar way as the atmosphere or biosphere, and that it leads us towards ever greater leaps of complexity and evolution. It's a controversial thought, dismissed by many scientist and embraced by those who think outside the box of their scientific studies. I am partial to this view, at least so in my limited understanding, but still see it as means of separation, a realm that is somehow, however slightly noted, removed from inclusion of the whole. 

what I see is that the noosphere is simply consciousness expressed as evolution, an aspect of a single sphere of influence in relation to the whole universe, how the biosphere can only exist in relation to the atmosphere, the seamlessness of its true display. This was Nagarjuna's view, seeing emptiness as an inherent truth of all phenomenon, nothing really existing without the influence of something other. So all science is simply the study of ourselves, every branch is really the seamlessness of spheres, emptiness in relation to appearance and how it all continues on. 

an endless influence...

seamlessness displayed.
