Modes of ^Life
The modes of ^Life (^Self-)^Organize a symphony of ~operation~. Although incredibly ~simple~ they may ^Take our ^Whole ~life~ to ^Understand and ^Hold our ~interest~ in ~full~. Our ~mind~ is ~like~ a little ~computer~ with abundance of ~process~ and a little network of ~communication~. Our ~mind~ has ~relation~ to a ^Large degree of ~independence~ and a ^High degree of ~cooperation~. Somehow our ~organism~ has the ~power~ of ~agency~ and the ~power~ to ^Say ^No in our ^Daily ~life~ too. The modes of ^Life include ^Complement, ^Connect, ^Encapsulate, ^Cooperate, ^Decide, ^Fortify and ^Live. To ^Develop a ~talent~ for each ~one~ is in some ~sense~ a lofty ~goal~ above. However, these modes are ~turtles~ for we may ^Consider they all exist below it all ~as~ ~foundation~, ~as~ intermediate ~parts~ and ~as~ ^Maximum ~expression~ and ~reward~.
Despite all my ~excitement~ over these modes that I am about to ^Share, ~as~ though I had ~found~ some ^Mysterious ~complexity~, I ^Really just ^Want us to ^Think of it ~as~ something ^Far ^More ~simple~. ^When we ^Feel, ^Act, ^Think and ^Mind we ^Need ^Two ways (at least) within each ~domain~ so that we may ^Govern that ~domain~ in ~particular~. The ~fruit~ of that ~idea~, in ~summary~, is ^Eight ^Principal modes: ^Connect or ^Fortify, ^Decide or ^Cooperate, ^Diverge or ^Function, and ^Live or ^Restore, ^Respectively. ^Restore is both a ^Principal ~mode~ and a ~mode~ of ^Mind, so it is ~found~ in another chapter.
Here is the ^Simple ~idealization~ from it that I ^Now ^Embrace and ^Hold. Each mindful thing (~mode~) may ^Participate in at least ^One ^FAT ~part~: ^Feel, ^Act, ^Think and ^Mind. Each ~part~ has ^More than ^One ~direction~ (or ~way~) so that our ~mind~ may ^Govern it. Each mindful thing that is a ~part~ of the ~whole~ may ^Increase its ~gift~ to the ~whole~ ~as~ ~one~ of the ^Principal modes in ~proxy~. And each ~whole~ may ^Belong to some yet ^Bigger ~context~, ^Likewise. So that we have ~sufficient~ to ^Navigate the modes of ^Life to optimally ^Heal, we only ^Need to ^Understand that ~organization~ of ~turtles~, the ~map~ from our ~emotion~ to that ~structure~, and ^How to ^Try and ^Fail ^Properly.
^Now ^Let us ^Look at these modes of ^Life and ^Ask stupidly whether we are any ~different~ than ~turtles~ or a ~computer~. (Compu-)~turtles~? Compurtles. Oh, I only ^Tease. Although I ^Imagine robots ^Who ^Need to ^Heal in some ^Wonderful and bright future I would much ^Rather ^Look at ^What is before us today for we are ~acceptable~ (and ~wonderful~) ~just-the-way-we-are~! ^Yes, and in that ~light~ I do ^Think our future will ^Become VERY much brighter ^Now. And for that I am forever ^Grateful.
The ^Eight ^Principal modes have a ^Vehicle chapter, a ^Lens chapter and a ^Principal chapter, ~as~ we ^See in the ^First ~table~ below. I ^Find that either ~table~ of ~organization~ of chapters has ~power~ to ^Magnify a remarkably parallel ~structure~ to ^Suggest the ^True ~depth~ of The Book of ^MESH.

^As an ~alternative~ and my current ~favorite~, we may ^Organize the chapters for sake to ^Memorize them. I also ^Hope to ^Suggest a ~flow~ for each ~context~.
