In summary, we “intend our world” . . . intentionality. I see there’s the issue of having to move in this direction, use this core mode, not just passively observe. Moving out of those apparent levels, going with those core flows, everything tightens up, connecting with those intrinsic elements that come into focus. Its not so much “selective,” as being an interconnection, an “orientation within the ongoing context.” So, there’s many multifaceted possibilities available, not just a linear orientation, like moving forward in time, with the beginning and the end, in a predestined way, predictable. There are also times when this connection can spontaneously occur, a new space, state, emerging and pulling one in. What’s beyond the “apparent” has more to it than originally thought.

Initially, I was aware of how there could be a “mutual arising of Self and Existence.” Back then, it was mostly in the natural world for me; though, I was also having issues of how people wanted to direct this, grasp it, with their generic and colloquial interpretations. There are changes of context here; but it wasn’t until I was able to extend this into an even higher perspective, “The Life World within The Greater World,” that I was able to make use of it, deal with various interpretations, have more meaningful experiences.

These various figure/ground orientations can be multifaceted, multidimensional, with a more encompassing take, with more parts involved: if intent moves beyond the typical . . . something greater can emerge. I like the degree of sophistication that can be presented. There can be a connection with a “truer reality,” and an interaction with all of those other associated intrinsic elements, a greater consciousness. I realized, ”We are selves entwined within the universe in an interactive field of meaning and knowledge.” That’s our true psychology.

Intent with figure/ground, is like that intermediate position, between the Creation, which emerged from the formless, the ground, and the All. Its the way back. There’s a possible interaction here, with an elite consciousness, a learning process, of The Life World within the Greater World.

One has to feel out that intentionality, those core moves, not just be drawn to those apparent levels, those external ways, the externalization. One can then move along. Intentionality is connected to one’s True Self, the Essence, with all those intrinsic connections: one can extend one’s meanings and understandings of the world, with flexible moves within the construct which isn’t singular through this approach.

I view this construct as an abstraction: these moves are more like philosophy, science . . . interactive meaning. There’s a lot of talk in other systems about this enhanced insight, etc.: thinking only takes one so far. Yoga seems to be our oldest, like that Sumerian coin with a person in a meditative posture etched upon it; then Buddhism, Islam, and others came from there. There were even older systems, like those buildings that were orientated to the North Pole where it was 100,000 years ago . . . talk of the Gods! Lineages, like those of Don Juan’s, doing their work, but remaining underground!

Your “externalized” symbolism, way, was almost like “Freudian,” then with the idea you need to be “civilized,” to deal with it all, belong, in a generalized way. Look at the trouble this got me into! This is only the beginning stage when the ego needs to extend beyond itself: a bit of a social adjustment first, and then moving more along the lines of self-development.

Consequently, I got that reversed, with the “Life World” within the “Greater World” . . . the bigger picture! This is more meaningful, evolutionary, and it leads somewhere. You see more of this, these days. We need these further stages!

This is me, and I seem to be going another way, hey? My push.

Islam . . . the first man is also a light. Muhammad. Christianity . . . the appearance of the “Star” . . . Jesus. Symbolic of our true nature?

“This work is called Hayakal al-nur, the shapes, the forms, the appearances, the edifices of Light. As the Greeks of old saw the stars as the material bodies of spiritual existences, these shapes of Light are the manifestation
of the source of all light, the Sacred Light.”

The Nagual.

Vernant comments: “The paradox of the divine body consists in the fact that in order to appear to mortals, it must cease to be itself; it must clothe itself in a mist, disguise itself as a mortal, take the form of a bird, a star, a rainbow.”

Beginning with our apparent manifestation, we can extend beyond that: there are many other aspects of the figure/ground, and larger associated meanings.

It was like I was looking at this tall red headed man. Later it was an extension of intent, and I was interconnected with this twirling twist of a reddish energy orb beyond me.

Moving out of the down to earth, and it was like my arms and hand was extended in front of me, with this sense of wonder, like a child feeling its body for the first time.

I was thinking of these YouTube clips about the pyramids and the possible underground tunnels and chambers. I got this sense of a strange energy at one of the underground intersections. I thought I should leave; but then, reconsidering, I thought I should examine it with intent. I got this image of an unfolding black and white map delineating what is going on under there. As I was going I got this call: “Hey, what about this?” I saw these lighter energies illuminating areas much further away than where I was. Something is there.

As I was considering these intrinsic areas, suddenly a distinct black object, sharp and with clarity, came moving in. As I considered that, I saw the image of a short haired woman, with glasses, looking at me. There’s many elements these days that can be reconsidered, happen.
