Review & Reflection

Warnings

Do not believe anything just because it is on this website.

This warning is particularly relevant here because it is difficult to be fully confident in findings in this personal and rarefied part of the Taxonomy. So you must think these issues through for yourself.

Buddha: "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

Everything should be made as simple as possible but no simpler.

Many are tempted to avoid the complexity of human existence. Everything is forced to exist within just one Centre (e.g. character), or just one Group (e.g. wisdom), or just one Channel (e.g. respect yourself), or reduced to one or two ultimate values (e.g. love &/or goodness). These approaches do not conflict with whatever is correct in these frameworks. But such simplifications have a limited applicability. A comprehensive and clear map can expand your understanding because it opens up useful avenues for personal reflection and thought.

More Root Domain frameworks have been developed.

An investigation of the Root Spiral and Spiral-derived Frameworks is now being posted elsewhere in the Frameworks in Development, because it appears that these are not part of the 'Better Self'.

We create our worlds.

Communal existence is a long way away from personal existence.
Humanity's existence is an imaginative construction.
