&lt;p&gt;      Want to suggest to expand the label of JOY SOULutions in this context:&lt;br /&gt;Adding an excerpt of a conversation between Ken Wilbwer and Larry Wachoski about the many meanings of the Matrix. Speaking about microgenesis the pur flow of evolutionary impulses is adressed. From moment to moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the context of Integral Play this radical psychoactive fire and impulse beyond any horizontal or vertical limitation is the microgenesis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best,&lt;br /&gt;Albert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;...&lt;br /&gt;Ken:&lt;/strong&gt; Absolutely, I agree, yeah.&amp;nbsp; There&amp;#39;s a great line, that, everybody knows ontogeny and phylogeny, but there&amp;#39;s also microgeny, which means the moment to moment movement through the sequence. &amp;nbsp;And so, for example if I see an apple, the microgenetic movement is, there&amp;#39;s an impulse, there&amp;#39;s an impression, there&amp;#39;s a simple sensation, then I form an image, that I might think about an apple as a concept and then I can have my personal reactions to it, et cetera.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry:&lt;/strong&gt; Yeah.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ken:&lt;/strong&gt; And microgeny recapitulates ontogeny which recapitulates phylogeny which recapitulates cosmology.&amp;nbsp; So from the Big Bang up to this moment is all that same sequence of the unfolding of the four quadrants but it&amp;#39;s also repeated moment to moment out of that empty origin, right now, moment to moment.&amp;nbsp; And that&amp;#39;s the interesting thing about it because when you discover your original face, the face you had before the Big Bang, then you&amp;#39;ve discovered that moment as well&#8212;that&amp;#39;s the satori moment, that&amp;#39;s realizing this radical self that&amp;#39;s all-embracing and all-encompassing - out of that moment-to-moment all that thing&amp;#39;s emerged, all the quadrants emerged, all the levels, all the lines, that same origin point that you&amp;#39;re talking about, and that is what holds the quadrants together, because the quadrants are just dimensions or aspects of that origin, moment to moment, this very moment now.&lt;br /&gt;...&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;div&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;For a long time I have been dissatisfied with the words &lt;em&gt;joy&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; bliss&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; love&lt;/em&gt; et al as a description of&lt;span style="color: red"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;what really exists at a spiritual level. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This morning, when lying in bed in the hynopompic state of being between sleep and wakefulness, thought started flowing to resolve this search and I let it flow. I saw clues like that state of &lt;em&gt;serene being&lt;/em&gt; which is non-emotional &lt;em&gt;joy&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; bliss&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; love&lt;/em&gt; et al, and therefore &lt;em&gt;pure&lt;/em&gt; or unaffected by the vagaries of emotion, and was aware that I had to search for a suitable term.&lt;span style="color: #3366ff"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The result of this was that I looked up a dictionary for &lt;em&gt;serene&lt;/em&gt;, the various meanings of &lt;em&gt;bliss&lt;/em&gt;, and the origin of both &lt;em&gt;bliss&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;ecstasy&lt;/em&gt;, and came up with the phrase &lt;em&gt;a quality of being&lt;/em&gt; &amp;ndash; that quality of being which, when considered by the mind (mented), creates emotion but, when experienced, is without emotion. I found that &lt;em&gt;serene &lt;/em&gt;means peaceful, blissful, clear, bright; that&lt;span style="color: #3366ff"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;one meaning of &lt;em&gt;bliss&lt;/em&gt; is &amp;ldquo;ecstatic joy of heaven&amp;rdquo; and that ecstasy derives from the Greek &lt;em&gt;existanai&lt;/em&gt; = to displace. This in turn led me to look for a single word to encapsulate what is described in Earthly terms as&lt;span style="color: #3366ff"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;joy&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; bliss&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; love&lt;/em&gt; et al.&lt;span style="color: #3366ff"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I finally came up with a combination of &lt;em&gt;bliss&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;ecstasy&lt;/em&gt; - that is &lt;em&gt;blisstasy&lt;/em&gt;. There is no verb for &lt;em&gt;blisstasy&lt;/em&gt; because it is something one &amp;lsquo;is&amp;rsquo; &amp;ndash; a quality or state of being &amp;ndash; not something one does. However, one can use the word &lt;em&gt;blisstatic (adj.)&lt;/em&gt; to describe the spiritual, or thought, state but not the mental state. This is because the spiritual state cannot be the mental state and vice versa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;So now, as I see it, &lt;em&gt;joy&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; bliss&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; love&lt;/em&gt; et al are earthly soul experiences, or emotions, and &lt;em&gt;blisstasy&lt;/em&gt; is that permanent state we seek through enlightenment and I will use the words accordingly in future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;In conclusion:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; Blisstasy means &amp;ldquo;That spiritual &amp;lsquo;quality of being&amp;rsquo; or &amp;#39;state of being&amp;#39; which is beyond the physical/mental (emotional) experience and surpasses &lt;em&gt;joy&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; bliss&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; love&lt;/em&gt; et al.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will now post this new word in my blog &amp;ldquo;New Words Coined&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
