So, potentialities . . . so many more possibilities, now . . .

I always knew intent could perk things up a bit, with its activation and connection. Then with the notion of of an interactive field, there’s the chance to touch upon and interact with the multi-views, the multifaceted and multidimensional aspects to ourselves and the world, a more sophisticated cognitive level. Sometimes I may play with the start; but it can also be something spontaneous from these more masterful intrinsic levels . . . one is then moving along in a different way. There is that deeper hook to that core, flows moving along from there.

Not to say we are not social/personal, have ideas, etc . . . but we also have that flow of meaning between our Life World, and the Greater. There is that special level, unique, encompassing it all. The point is, there is advancement of functioning, as one ascends the hierarchical structure of the nervous system, which is the same as the Chakras, as in Gurdjieff’s Fourth Ways.

The Western world needed something like this: we’ve been cut-off . . . the “Fall.”

Thanks for the help Wilson. We needed this level for ourselves, explained in our language. Its there, everywhere else though; like the intermediate realm between the typical and the Spiritual. Its going to have to be psychology here, for us, or science, for we are busting out! The point is, I’ve been working in the other direction, moving from the “separate mode,” to the connection/ interconnection, with intent and the figure/ground as the rule of thumb. I began to understand “meaning:” I got the Life World within the Greater World, our small form, abstraction, within the greater more intrinsic elements of the Universe and the fuller consciousness. It finally gave me a system that made sense, added direction to my life!

The point is is to get active. It also took me a while to realize we are also in an interactive position, within a “field” . . . a theoretical issue for me.

Intent is free to roam, independent, new locales, activation points, in an intrinsic position not pinned within any context. Out of the “mold” and the body, our “center of observation,” and sense of identity, our context, varies with that . . . a further conscious skill set.

Its interesting to find oneself spruced up, and in unique positions, that aren’t the typical generic or colloquial ones. This kind of outreach is more positive: its the point of it all! One is within the bigger picture, interacting there.

Meaningfulness . . . an enhanced Reality, Realities!!

Ya, there is an approach here . . . “Intentionality.” It can be touched upon in a few ways, like in Buddhism, Yoga, Castaneda. I started with Wilson though: there’s a raison d’etre to it all. From there, I gathered up all the all the ideas, experiences, from my perspectives, at this starting point, putting it all within my language.

Some of these visions could be called “Seeing,” as well

Wilson’s critique: considering that internalizing/externalizing dialectic, that puts Wilson’s analysis of the problems of literature into live mode for me:

“In this book, Wilson shows that most of the authors he examines have abandoned the idea of making full use of their imagination. Almost all of them have devoted their literary skills to recreating versions of everyday events, possible and frequently probable scenes, or else to inventing insubstantial characters, dark fantasies and bleak futures. Wilson emphasizes that most modern literature is an ode to despair, a stubborn devotion to the man in the street, to the defeated, the loser, and warns us of the danger of accepting the limits these authors impose on reality. Almost all the works analysed rule out the possibility that its characters might rebel against a storyline that invalidates their desires and ambitions. We see them trapped by immediacy, incapable of building a mental image of themselves that would drive them to become masters of their inner-self and of their existence. There is no loftiness or boldness: their only option is to resign themselves to ‘what is there’. For Wilson this is like confining a hawk to a cage. It turns us into victims of our own passivity and makes us forget that our aim is to fly, to plane over what we desire, to be worthy of what is good for us. His warning merits our attention because what was written by these authors is essential reading in most educational centres of the western world. It is no exaggeration to say that their vision of man and of the world is engraved on our unconscious.”

Could I be a poet instead?

“The easiest course to follow, as mentioned earlier, is to take refuge in what is possible, befriend the masses, and not expose oneself to going mad. This is a far cry from the romantic’s imaginative boldness, the impassioned vision that once rose above the heights of human ambition and showed us that the poet, that winged being who understands the real power of imagination, is the only one who can see beyond what is apparent. The poet finds connexions with the universe, feels bonds with the sacred, is connected to the infinite. His imagination lifts him above the rest of men, who remain prisoners of their sterile sanity and rationality. It is the poet who enjoys the limitless forms of all creation, the one who laughs from on high at those small creatures complaining about boredom and nihilism.”

Things can grab our interest in the “objective” world, or one can consciously use one’s intentionality to make the connection . . . or in the “intrinsic” world, its like a further extension, interaction, examination. I had an image of my dad’s face, clean and colorful; but it was like I was reaching out and playing with his “hair” with my right hand. It wasn’t hair, for he hasn’t any, but a grouping of energy fibres, and with some behind as well.
