Methods illuminated from View

A method can be illuminated from a view. The illumination of the view emphasizes, de-emphasizes, or completely sets aside aspects of the method to create a particular variation, hopefully more potent for some contexts.

For example, Japanese craft aesthetics illuminated American quality control techniques to create a uniquely Japanese take on the methods.

Not every combination of view and method yields potent results. For example, if the view sets aside the entire method, then it is definitely de-potentizing!

For example, scientistic view applied to the method of prayer de-potentized it.

Oftentimes, view and method are linked within a tradition, so we can ask bi-directionally. For example:

• How might we use the methods of Vajrayana from the view of Adult Development?

• How might we use the methods of Adult Development from the view of Vajrayana?

The combinatorial explosion of view x method in our current age is a tremendously large latent space with many interesting points.
