Conscious Living Framework
MACRO LEVEL - Fundamental Substrates
Macro Level
- Consciousness + Energy + Information + Matter
- Bhakti [Become] + Karma [Flow] + Raja [Be] + Gnana [Build]
- Order + Chaos
- Universe as an Energy System tends to high entropy
- Consciousness as an Information System tends to low entropy

Key Features:
- Framework spans Macro (Purpose), Meso (Process), Micro (Practice), and Meta (Patterns) levels
- Each level has two complementary poles to balance and three synergistic aspects that characterize its operation
- Movement between levels is bidirectional, allowing for both top-down vision and bottom-up integration
- Levels progress from most abstract (Macro) to most concrete (Meta), creating a natural flow of implementation
- Each level builds upon and reinforces the others, creating a holistic system
- Framework can be applied recursively at different scales
- Balancing poles creates dynamic tension that drives growth and evolution
- Three aspects at each level provide stability and completeness
