• Celestial Earth

    “An intrinsic self, entwined within the universe, in an interactive field of meaning and knowledge.” This orientation is the “bridge” for me, as I’ve seen, considering both halves of the Rational and Holistic aspects of the brain, rather than just saying “The Ego and the Id.” Its also a bit more action orientated here, with…

  • Beyond The Body

    This vertex, this orientation with the Life World within the Greater World, is a multifaceted option; it can be anything. I was thinking how the “body ego” originally contained this, how my experiences originally were within this body framework, how it all used to be “inside of my head” for instance. I could move along…

  • The Quintessence

    So, moving back along with Stage 2 . . . in that functional intermediate zone, the Life World within the Greater World! The Quintessence! Working it all out, together, this schema, the Philosopher’s Stone. Responding to the coffee shop “milieu,” not just the selective issues . . . Digging into the moving depths within this…

  • FROM STAGE 1 ON

    I can see, as far as my “stage 1” goes, I was trying to see how there’s an interaction between these dual aspects. “In our two way nervous system, aware of both our inputs and outputs, we develop “self-awareness.” So more than just being able to think about ourselves, we are able to think about…

  • BODY EGO

    Your “externalizing ways” seem to want to drag me into them, and I can also “lose myself” there. Its as if you think I’m harboring a secret: or like a behaviorist, since we can’t observe it, “we don’t know.” Yet, one’s true “intrinsic nature” is something else. It seems to be a “social need” for…

  • THE THIRD ATTENTION

    With the situation, and some meta-programming . . . “In our two way nervous system, aware of both our inputs and outputs, we develop “self-awareness.” So more than just being able to think about ourselves, we are able to think about ourselves and adjust our actions accordingly. The chief problem is we tend not to…

  • One’s form and energy

    Form and energy, with transforming contexts . . . Buddhist’s may speak of the alteration of body image and the emergent sense of space, Muslim’s may speak of light . . . “The Shape of Light.” And of course, with the idea of the figure/ground, this can be much more extensive in action . .…

  • considerations of a better state

    There’s a better state of mind and body . . . from the system to the way . . . With intent, to mutuality, then that intermediate zone, the Life World within the Greater World . . . interconnectedness . . . The Third Attention . . . lol . . . So, seeing how…

  • Using Death As An Advisor

    “One’s foundations” . . . since I’ve been speaking about “attention” . . . its also a “meditation.” Things are getting pulled together here in a good way . . . a relaxed, serene body and emotional state, like a goodnights sleep, with negative symptoms kept in place. Deeper resources kick in every now and…

  • This nexus

    There’s “The System,” then “The Way!” Moving along with the more intrinsic core orientations . . . Within form and energy, figure/ground, an enhanced context, activation, a more sophisticated presentation of the situation, not just an idea, memory of the material world . . . progressive Meanings. This distinction is an aspect of the Gestalt,…
