This was an earlier stage in my developments. Being cute and artistic. I had intent; but I needed a larger overall perspective, psychology. (2001-09-28)

These days, I’ve pretty much got all the parts going, “A Self entwined within the universe in a interactive field of meaning and knowledge;” but there was a time when I was stuck in “perceptions” only, without considering Self or body. Viewing that time, stuck, that body sense was like “Zombieatics” . . . weird dream . . . and all with these worn out spaces, basements, old pipes, etc. Lately, there was this dream of watching these women exercise, pump iron: when I then focused on me, my lean muscular body stretched high into the sky! There is that interactive focus of intent that makes all the difference.

Still working on it.

I evolved through the figure/ground idea . . . “Our “intent” is usually not this lofty though: it is directed towards fulfilling our individual mundane needs. But, this is our starting point . . . our selective attention, our figure/ground relationship with the world, our identifications. We identify with this small part and the rest is forgotten. But there is an innate wakefulness as the Buddhists put it, permeating it all.” . . . now I see how its a part of a more multifaceted, multidimensional thing, a small world within a greater world, encompassed by the field, and the greater consciousness, per se. Connected/interconnected.

Identifications is the problem though. Ego has to learn how to deal with this more intrinsic, multifaceted Self . . . 

This construct . . . “internalizing” the outside external world . . . Piaget.

World view . . . dreaming may run in “parallel” with the social world . . . generic, colloquial.

But the mind is more abstract and powerful than that . . . like the discoverer of benzene, Kekule, who saw the symbol of the snake biting its own tail. Meanings.

We are not just rational though, in a static separate position; we are connected/ interconnected to it all, imbedded within the field. This structure may be a part of the actual world, interconnected energetics. Matter and energy, but intelligent, alive! The Life World . . . a potentially livable enlarged context, greater than just our social orientation, and ideas. May the Force be with you! 

(Orenda /ˈɔːrɛndə/ is the Iroquois name for a certain spiritual energy inherent in people and their environment. It is an “extraordinary invisible power believed by the Iroquois Native Americans to pervade in varying degrees in all animate and inanimate natural objects as a transmissible spiritual energy capable of being exerted according to the will of its possessor.” Orenda is a collective power of nature’s energies through the living energy of all natural objects: animate and inanimate. Wikipedia.)

The Life World within the Greater World.

The Order of Spirit Forms.

I started with psychology; but the idea of light and energy is common in the Mid and Far East.

Shen Gongs.

Like floating in a soft luminous slightly blue space, in which there were all these floating crosses, like fish in the sea. I said I could do this, focus, and be a point.
