Autopoiesis & Cybernetics

I am trying to meaningfully hold the perspectives about the above systems theories within an context large enough to embrace the vedic and shamanic systems that form the basis of my outlook on life. To resolve that potential paradox, it seems to me that self-sustaining autopoietic systems are inter-related and can be seen to be nested within each other...from the tiniest bacterium, to an individual human being, to society, the earth itself, our solar system and beyond.

When I think about what Depok Chopra said in his audio book "Magical Mind, Magical Body", he spoke about the unified field theory and how the experience of being seemingly separate lifeforms, arises out of this all-pervading morphogenic field of consciousness. Further he explained, what was happening is that the non-local field interacts with itself and at a localized point of this interaction, it creates a reflection of that interaction; a hologram image if you would representing that interaction. If God/spirit/creation is one huge self-sustaining, interrelated field of consciousness, then everything that exists withing that system creates an interactive, feedback loop capable of self-production. And as such, divine consciousness then would meet the criteria for Autopoiesis.
