HolonAnanda may not be the easiest word to pronounce, but it isn't difficult once you know how. If you are familiar with the words holon and ananda, then you simply say them together as one word, pronouncing them the same as if the were separate. If you are not familiar with those two words then say whole on anonymous duh as if it were one word. It may not be easy at first, it took me a little practice too, but that's just because its not like the words we use every day. And that's ok, I don't expect everyone to get it perfect. Make an sincere effort, and I'm sure you'll get it close enough that I, and others, will know what you mean, and that's what counts.
What does HolonAnanda mean?
- HolonAnanda is a name made from two words; holon and ananda.
- Holon is a relatively new word, originating from a context of science and biology. A holon is that which is simultaneously part of a whole and a whole made up of parts.
- Ananda is an ancient sanskrit word and means Joy or Bliss.
- Together Holon and Ananda combine and transcend their individual meanings to create an infinite spectrum of meaning. The essence of that spectrum of meaning can be simply put as "The joy of being a whole of parts of a whole", or "The joyful state of consciousness that comes from the realization that, simultaneously, wholes are parts and parts are wholes. Also the experience of the infinite contexts of oneself as wholes and parts". Its not easy to explain and this is but a rough draft. I hope these few words begin to get a little of my meaning across.
- An example of a holon is the name HolonAnanda. As a name it is one/whole. It is composed of two parts, Holon and Ananda, each of which is one/whole itself. Both Holon and Ananda are in their turn composed of parts, in this case letters, and each of those parts is also one/whole. When all these contexts/perspectives are seen/experienced/realized simultaneously, we are seeing them as holons. When we see all things as holons, as parts and wholes at the same time, in the infinite context, then we find that Ananda, joy and bliss, are there, always, already.
How did the name/word HolonAnanda come into being? I created this name, and word, after considering many others. I was looking for a web site name, one that would be unique and different, one that would combine old and new, east and west, finite and infinite, part and whole, science/matter and spirit, one that expressed that which is in me but which cannot be put into words, which not even I, in my aspect of individual holon, am fully conscious of. I was already using the name of holon as my internet ID and was looking for a name that included it. HolonAnanda is more than a name and a word, it is, in a significant way, who and what I am, and what I do. I might say more, but I leave it at this for now; that's the essence...
