The west is pretty much materialistic, technological, rational . . . but there’s one’s “intrinsic nature,” “a world of form and energy” . . . in our next steps!! With all that “externalizing” going on, you can see why I had a big emphasis on the “construct.” I just took it up to a more…

The material world, within and around us, can move along on its own . . . The option, though, is to be more volitional. Within our complex cognitive nature, we have a balancing act: on the one hand is our rational nature which divides things up, into the inside or outside, or like the positive…

A reasonable precursor: ‘What happens to us at these times is that, as we withdraw from the environing world, we relegate the activities of the five senses to the field of the subconscious, and seek to focus awareness … in the field of the superconscious — the timeless, spaceless field of the as-yet-unknown.’ Wilson, Colin.…

So, beyond this “apparent reality,” the “mirror,” a step beyond this abstraction, this internalization/externalization, there is a world of form and energy. Our intrinsic nature, true self, has its domain here. I had to get this all straight first. There will still be varied levels of interpretation out there; but now there’s me . .…

Its not just the selectivity of the mind; but its also the connected/interconnected, figure/ground. The Life World within the Greater world. The Bigger Picture. This is where I began to move ahead. Likewise, its hard to say; but even as far as people goes, I had to get set-up in that “higher order” first, for…

Even with the Life World within the Greater World, if one was H. P. Lovecraft, there can be the singularity issue, the horror . . . smote by overwhelming forces, inconceivable realms, entities, and dreams . . . annihilation of identity . . . The negativity, and the “Freudianism” of the small ego within the…

Between the body and the environment, the brain and the nervous system . . . Between the input and output of the senses, the processing, like the phone and computer, the mind is “Learning” . . . The “construct” . . . “The Personality” . . . “The internalization of the outside world” . .…

Belongingness is one thing; but beyond that there is knowledge and self-actualization. At the next levels, things are enhanced, and lit up. So, moving around these more intrinsic ways, not the externalized colloquial generic ones . . . there are deeper levels of experiencing Reality here, keeping one’s motivations moving in that direction. “Man cannot…

Our original “Life World” is rooted within our social/physical arena, and its abstract denizens, including all of our constructs, symbolism. The point is though, it is only a developmental stage, a.k.a., Washburn, and there are further levels of functioning here. We can begin to touch upon the “Greater World.” It seems stationary, with rationality only…

When I started thinking, and experiencing, intent and figure/ground, and the Life World within the Greater World, I began moving through all those systems out there. Our first orientation is that physical/social one. It is more than just a concrete thing; but it is our “shell,” including all our constructions and symbols. Becoming more active,…
