“One’s foundations” . . . since I’ve been speaking about “attention” . . . its also a “meditation.” Things are getting pulled together here in a good way . . . a relaxed, serene body and emotional state, like a goodnights sleep, with negative symptoms kept in place. Deeper resources kick in every now and then. And as far as I go, with attention, there can also be “Activations.”

As we climb up the ascending levels of the nervous system, and our needs, which also match the eastern energy systems and levels, there’s options, the Rational and the Holistic. I worked on the holistic option, for a western explanation. For this intermediate level, I got Intent and figure/ground, the Life World within the Greater World . . . form and energy.

As a rule of thumb, one can consider an evolving agenda: its more than just an aspect of one’s basic identity, the Shadow: one’s basic identity itself is also an aspect of the Gestalt, a larger multifaceted, integrated part, along with the associated sense of an enhanced reality, our greater Self and World, and Awareness. Its “built-in.” So, when people say “Who are you?,” you don’t have to fly off the handle.

This unfolding Self-Actualization aspect is up at the top of our hierarchy, though there may be issues. I worked in Intent here.

Within the ongoing flow of events, we may move from the typical/apparent to the more intrinsic, with intent drawing upon deeper sources.

Looking back, 100 years ago, our precursors:

As a bit of a round-up, since some are speaking from this lower orientation, and I need a review as well.

That basic level, the material world and body with the mind, soul, Spirit. Freud would say we need to be Rational and civilized to deal with that “wild” body and situation. Likewise, spiritual people may wonder why we are only in this material body and world and not within the heavens, etc. The Romans said the humans were on the earth and the gods were in heaven.

It is the most basic orientation; average people start from here, or view it as the most real.

These days we know there is an ascending hierarchy of needs and the structure of the nervous system and brain, with the Rational and Holistic hemispheres of the brain at the top as the controlling levels. These are now seen to be “built-in.” We can move from that dualistic materialistic situation to a more integrated one. I’ve come in with Intent: within the figure/ground, we can connect/interconnect, touch upon those more multifaceted, integrated levels, the Gestalt, and it uses both hemispheres of the brain, gaining greater knowledge and inspiration this way, in this expanded consciousness.

Can I become more “impeccable?” I looked at the bottom feeder levels as well, and then some. The colloquial and the intrinsic levels may need to be both considered. Rather than just those “apparent” externalizations, you are sometimes seeing me from another source, the core.

Things move along, I saw the mess. I had typical dreams of cleaning, that were quite demanding, and they wouldn’t stop. I had to keep giving them my attention; so, I said alright. Later there were numerous activations with stuff out there. Messy?

There was a situation, made me grumble about having to do all this walking. There was an image of a fence. There was a gentle poke on my belly. But I started hiking along and could feel my body moving and my feet touching the ground. The unique aspect was having all these associated energy orbs within me and around me. A lot to learn about maybe.

So, I had to “push it” a bit. I was shining, blue, and illuminating my surroundings as well.

This interaction between the material senses and the mind, we get these lower manas as a result. These results can become more comprehensive though, as one becomes active: for my “stage one,” I had the central processing dealing with these inputs and outputs. It was more than just sex, for I had the mind, body, self, inner and outer reality, as points of recognition, flexible with meta-programming. Those first attentions! With Intent as a function, I became even more active, coming up with “stage two,” and I had the figure/ground as the orientation, with the Life World and Greater World as the new points of recognition. This is intermediate between one’s basic situation and the Ground, as Henry Corbin synchronously pointed out, which was very surprising. I have my definitions here though, starting with mainstream psychology.

As for the function of the mundus imaginalis and the Imaginal
Forms, it is defined by their median and mediating situation between
the intellectual and sensible worlds. On the one hand it
immaterialises the Sensible Forms, on the other it “imaginalises”
the Intellectual Forms to which it gives shape and dimension.
The Imaginal world creates symbols on the one hand from the
Sensible Forms, on the other from the Intellectual Forms. P. ix

Henry Corbin, “Spiritual Body and Celestial Earth”

This intermediate zone, form and energy, the Middle Way of Buddhism, the “shape of light,” changes of body awareness and emerging Space . . . what you’d get in meditation I presume.

So, its not just this reflexive this or that thing; we can take on more multifaceted activations of other things within the Gestalt. Its beyond that basic context, and gives the further perspectives with a more sophisticated context. The life adjustments, orientations, creativity and knowledge, developments.

The symbolisms of the “higher orders,” not just shadows, are kicking in now, for our youth. When I was young, “2001 A Space Odyssey” for instance. Mythological, archetypes, heroes with powers, fantastic realities, higher meanings to their situation and lives. What’s going on is changing.

Taking on something more positive, a more pristine view, exquisite, the potential for better worlds, of form and personality, like an artist, photographer.

A silver/chrome orientation popped in, like a spoon, with many fine details sparkling within.

“Exposed Cranium” nebula . . .

As they speak of the “Hidden World,” as I did of the “Life World within the Greater World,” that is not assessable to the senses; ie, I’ve come along and am speaking of Intent and the figure/ground as a basic function here.

Very interesting . . .

“Since then, the Hidden Imām is in the position of those who were removed from the visible world without crossing the threshold of death: Enoch, Elijah, and Christ himself, according to the teaching of the Qur’ān. He is the Imām “hidden from the senses, but present in the heart of his followers,” in the words of the consecrated formula, for he remains the mystical pole [qob] of this world, the pole of poles, without whose existence the human world could not continue to exist.”

“The first point is that the Imām lives in a mysterious place that is by no means among those that empirical geography can verify; it cannot be situated on our maps. This place “outside of place” nonetheless has its own topography. The second point is that life is not limited to the conditions of our visible material world with its biological laws that we know. There are events in the life of the Hidden Imam—even descriptions of his five sons, who are the governors of mysterious cities.”

As my sick body moved closer to that point, it was like there was an unseen presence, then an arm swishing and unfolding, with a very bright interconnected light. In a deep aboriginal voice, it said: “Its the First Snake.”

As I checked out the symbolism of the snake, ancients were inspired by its ability to shed its skin, the Ouroboros, and appear reborn . . . Transformation, renewal, and healing. And there I was, Wow! The “Snake Den” . . . H. P. Lovecraft . . . another synchronous reading at the same time . . .

My experiences had the hints of another body next to mine, and there was this other potential thing, that orientated with me and my focus, like a disc stretching into the holistic, next to me, with exquisite light and energy. Synchronous. Matching.

I had a previous vision a month before this in which there was an elder wizard zeroing in on me, closely looking down. He had something that looked like a cats toy in his hand. It was then like I was following this long stretched out thing, not a hard cylinder but organic, deftly flying over the terrain, like a cruise missile. I said I’ll move to the side at one point, and there was a small brick structure which the missile kept going into it and disappeared. The entities beamed up and disappeared, leaving a blue oblong color.

A new thing, the nature of animals, their behaviors and symbolism . . . directions within, for us its a match . . .

There’s complete full actions here, no blocking structures in between as in humans, staying interconnected with the greater flow. They can help and guide us here, with their abilities. “Magical.” Just being there, the way they are.

Cat, fox, snake, showing up in those ancient ways, human interactions . . .
