As far as classic notions go, there’s rationality and the subject/object, then intent and the figure/ground. As far as our psychology goes, rationality is passive, just a mirror of the situation, world: intent moves out of that mirror and interconnects with the rest of the world. As far as bipolar brain theory goes, though, they…

“Where one is at” . . . The typical person has an idea of himself, as if he was separate, in a body, like a manikin, an object. This “internalization” though, of oneself and the outside world, the “construct,” would these days also include feelings, sensations, desires, needs, etc. The behaviorists would also make it…

My interests . . . With that sense of “meaning,” that put everything into perspective . . . I’m pretty much talking about moving along with one’s optimums. We don’t hear too much about the optimums in our society . . . the old style psychoanalysis, a personality thing only. Its time to use something…

So, moving past rationality, and the subject/object only, one can say I’ve aligned myself within that intermediate position, intent and the figure/ground, orientating myself in the Life World within the Greater World, as my way forward, moving along with one’s intrinsic nature as a being of form and energy, then psychoanalysis. “What happens to us…

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…

Its a bit more than just “perception” here; there is also a connection/interconnection involved. Life directions were a problem, but eventually I understood your actions were just an “externalization.” I also discovered these more “intrinsic” activations as well, with the Life World within the Greater World, as I put it. There’s a bit more to…

There is the level of the Strong Self, connected/interconnected, within the world/universe . . . energy, feeling, understanding. Intent within a world of form and energy. There are various levels within me; though, the “externalization” doesn’t engage the best ones. That meditation book, for instance, speaks of, depending on the functioning, of either the positive…

The Life World, our creative home of security and consciousness . . . our potentially evolving system of the knowledge of our place in the bigger picture, greater worlds . . . We were born into this, guided into it physically and socially, like a shell. We have the option to become more activated here,…

So, I had a dream of opening a door, my hand turning the doorknob . . . I was thinking of energies, and it intuitively made it into the Life World. Synchronicity. “Doorway to the Tao refers to an etheric entry point to emptiness that reveals every thing, which is a simple means to traverse…

Despite the old me, with typical options, within this current system, other interpretations, experiences, present themselves. During meditations I often had a sense of inner expansion . . . an experience occurred, related to this, in which it was like I was looking through an expansive scene, like within a cathedral and gazing beyond, plus…
