I see my understandings, experiences, have moved along in a variety of ways. In the “Domains of Perception,” I seemed to be thinking of the inputs and outputs, that are related to one another, giving an experience, perception, (like manas and buddhi), also resulting in “Self-Awareness,” (like ahamkar). I also started having various options, ideas, on how  to control and move beyond the typical apparent levels. Demiurge.

Through further experiences, and readings, my ideas evolved. I began to see we are involved in more sophisticated stages of evolution: we differentiate from the Ground, become a separate ego, then evolve back towards the fullness, the Gestalt and beyond . . . a Triphasic model emerges. I got intent and figure/ground as the intermediate level, as I would put it, when one becomes active. We are then in the Life World within the Greater World. And as Yoga restated things for me, we move from the apparent, the false identification, and suffering, as in Buddhism, towards the Truer Self. Even more so here, awareness and identity is intimately associated with intent.

So . . . lets keep up that “spark” . . .

There’s the familiar parts, then there’s the intrinsic element, intent, that can be in touch with and relate to all of the parts, and is independent of their particular modes of action. Moving past the apparent, going with the flow of the more core elements, the intrinsic, the True Self and awareness.

With intent, there is that focus, connection/interconnection . . . enhanced, energetic, alive and more colorful . . . integrated within the bigger picture. There’s something about Reality and sanity here. This is the motivation.

As far as the figure/ground goes, there can also be further “activations” . . .  new orientations of your operations within the universe . . . a different stance, perspective, unique and insightful . . .

One can start one’s  “psychoanalysis” here, dealing with one’s fuller Self. It could even become more Philosophical, Spiritual, Scientific!

Yes, the familiar, the apparent, with the active part of the mind, intent and the figure/ground, in this intermediate zone, applies a more directional approach than the rational conscious and unconscious: it can become purposeful, not just divided up, conflicted. Rationality isn’t the core function for consciousness anyways; and besides just the unconscious, we can be multifaceted, have the Cosmic Consciousness, and the Ground per se. The options are “out there, everywhere” not just a personal selectivity.

So, I got this jacked up for you, and got some real directions happening!

This experience started with me looking at a wall of carvings, and attempting to decipher them. Suddenly a darker haired man emerged, facing me, with his magic wand, pointing at me . . . digging into something I shouldn’t have? Then I saw an oblong metallic looking end-thing with a long thin blade emerging, like something used in fencing. The suggestion was, it was their weapon; but it was pointed in the other direction this time. As I think of it now, I went from a human view to the view of the sorcerer’s energy body! They are protective, I’ve heard.

I was precocious with that intrinsic focus, beginning directly with Colin Wilson’s influence. Then I had to learn about all the arrangements every one else was making. I was backwards here; but eventually I realized it wasn’t much more than “externalizing.” I came up with my own interpretations, and it tended to be a match with those other systems out there that used “intent.” I can get further “activations” now, not just with the outside world, but with the Life World within the Greater World.

In the past I was only visually orientated, and my body protested since I was keeping that sense of a separate Self, or there was a concurrent noise in the external world. Prakriti. When I became more contextual with the figure/ground, my body or sense of identity could change as well. This flow can occur naturally in the middle of the night too.

As I tried to reexamine that approach, I saw a Roman mercenary, strong and within his darker uniform; I glided my hand through this “substance” and collected it in this small rectangular box; a quick focus onto the face of a younger woman.

There were some unique foci, intent seems to kick in, when I’m ready: things are enhanced, but sometimes the Life World and the Greater World are interrelated; there are starting points. Its more than a singular person with a selective focus, though, with these figure/grounds there can be an entire change of context . . . “activations!”

There was a woman in her cloak, looking more decorative, mystic, than an ordinary one, with a hands holding this big bowl in front of her: the recipe was more than just food; but some kind of elixir in connection with the universe.

There was a popup, quick focus, in which I saw this circular shiny thing like a plate, illuminated, then a row of parked cars, as I moved along into the scene.

Stuff I may have did beforehand in the ordinary world, providing context, but enhanced, enlarged for these more intrinsic elements . . . Ordinary objects . . . Subtle objects . . . and its easy to see how there can be a connection/interconnection here, providing a greater context, meaning.

That was an interesting multi-leveled dream . . . from the typical to the enhanced . . . a woman with long brunette hair, was holding this crumpled up piece of tinfoil, greenish/bluish in color, then later, she was like sweeping it along, with a broom. That connection was somehow important. There was this chocolate mint in a package similar to that?

Another friend has an influence on me, even if she isn’t too agreeable with this stuff. It was like my mind, inner space turned into this flowing atmospheric context, with clouds and blue sky. Later I had this image of a page, like from a book, covered in all kinds of black and white line drawings. We were talking about cities in the sky.

As far as other people goes, I had this image of this string coiled around on the ground. They play with Pepper with that.

In another situation, it was like a felt this solid physical thing, like a counter, in which I placed my forearm on. It was so realistic, I was surprised. The comment was from this greater realm is that I don’t use this anymore. It was then like I seen a tall building, or rocketship, that I was building, dark and adding new pieces. From cars to rockets?
