| autheon.nl | Dick van Dijk | The theory challenges the conventional ‘Big Bang’ model, arguing that current knowledge of the universe is based on assumptions about a ‘point’ with no size or characteristics where all mass is concentrated. AuTheoN proposes a ‘natural start of a beginning with no thing’—identifying and verifying past assumptions to reveal Nature's initial conditions and its ‘creation of some thing out of nothing’. This process is based on a ‘unifying two-oneness’, where two parts are always opposed and interdependent, and requires unique ‘alpha-words’ complemented by ‘beta-parts’ for clear communication. | | mass 61 universe 79 theory 956 part 5044 | |

Kyudo is viewed as a mirror for the soul, challenging the practitioner to rise above basic desires and emotions, such as the persistent hope of hitting the target flawlessly, and the fear of failure. This creates a beautiful paradox, akin to a Zen koan – a philosophical challenge phrased as an apparently unanswerable question: ‘How can you hit the target without letting it touch you?’ | Shooting → Archery 259 | ego 29 target 77 soul 355 tradition 736 meditation 2400 | |
