Some people love patterns, and some are obsessive about them! The latest version of the Open Mind OM Cards little tin box features a revised matrix:
| Mindfulness | Attention | Meta | Here | Now | Be | ⊙ |
| Nonattachment | Acceptance | Open | Soft | May | If | ⊖ |
| Oneness | Affirmation | Love | Kind | Yes | Do | ⊕ |
... and in correspondence with Jonathan Sturm recently the notion arose: maybe classic Greco-Roman stoic philosophy in some strange space corresponds to the diagonal that runs from Mindfulness (self-awareness) to Do (virtuous action) — whereas the classic Asian buddhist vector perhaps flows more from Oneness (non-duality) toward Be (emergence) ...
... or is that too mathematical-mystical to be metaphorical-useful?
