Psychologically, we are moving from that old investigative standard, rationality, and subject/object. Our personality gets pinned into a position where there is a lot of missing parts, like feelings, the body, the situation one is in.
You are also pretty much acting as if there is the other half, maybe negative, in the wings, like my friend’s views. These external events keep her negative. Do you know this kind of thinking is in the history books now? You could be thinking of those other parts, as associated, not separate, as further pieces of the puzzle, the “bigger picture,” which has more meaning, mature and positive. Its a real experience!

The Life World within the Greater World.

All religions speak of coming from the “formless” . . . the void, the ground, then there is “Creation” . . . even Christianity. First there is division, sin or suffering, then reconnection, through various attitudes and meditation, etc. I speak of intent and the figure/ground, as this intermediate cognitive position, like the triphasic orientation of Washburn, where we can do our “psychoanalysis.” Buddhists speak of the expansion of space and changes of form of the body, Muslims speak of the “shape of light.” As far as our “psychoanalysis” goes, moving past these apparent levels, within our extended orientations and our core Self, we are more multifaceted, with enhanced views, activations, knowledge, feeling, creativity.

I see though why I had to come back and round up these other levels, for I pretty much was only in the psychology realm. I worked out those systems, and I see it now right from these down to earth orientations . . . but still connected within a world of form and energy.

Experiential levels though may be positively or negatively defined, as in John Lilly, from Gurdjieff. So . . .

We may get the “idea of oneself” here; but there is something much more comprehensive than that. With “intent and the figure/ground,” we are in a more active position within our “construct:” the “figure” is an “activation.” There is “form,” and its experiential, conscious, and selective. Beyond the idea, our more “intrinsic” Self is at the core of these multifaceted potentials, like an M. C. Escher lithograph. Within these activations, there is a sense of a stronger “true Self,” an interconnection with a greater reality, and enhanced meanings. With its focus everything is pulled together.

We are not singular, but multifaceted. Beyond the externalization of oneself and the world, there is the intentionality of ourselves and situation, a world of form and energy. There is that higher order.

There were these enhancements; intent always brings it up a notch: a woman who updated her appearance a bit; but with intent locked in, she looked more like something out of a fantasy, with her type of clothing. There was another one out there dressed more like that too.

There was this activation of a woman’s presence, next to me, with a man in darker clothing, higher up. Not either/or, and different from me.

I also wanted the next steps to kick in: later there was a golden profile of an entity peering in at me.

I woke up, had a sore back. As I studied that, I transformed into a cylindrical energetic orientation. There were some humanoid entities here, moving about. Later, I had a re-do of my humanoid “self-image.”

A quick view of my flesh, then I went into the kitchen, in a moving higher orientation, to get rid of those “aliens,” noisy spirits, weird looking little ticks.

A dream of a couple, then me with a woman of my own . . . comfortable types. Then at the coffee shop, there was a “real one!”
