  • This nexus

    There’s “The System,” then “The Way!” Moving along with the more intrinsic core orientations . . . Within form and energy, figure/ground, an enhanced context, activation, a more sophisticated presentation of the situation, not just an idea, memory of the material world . . . progressive Meanings. This distinction is an aspect of the Gestalt,…

  • My Itchy toe

    So, in this intermediate zone between the material world/body and mind/Spirit, we could have form and energy, the figure/ground, distinct but interconnected, as the most functional operation. Rather than just being a pawn within this material orientation, an idea within this model of the controlling external world, we can take charge, be active with intent,…

  • The intermediate zone

    So, in this intermediate zone between the material world/body and mind/Spirit, we could have form and energy, the figure/ground, distinct but interconnected, as the most functional operation. Originally, being a psychology major, in between those two extremes, these inputs and outputs, manas, I was originally thinking of “central processing” and memory, and individually considering the…

  • i don’t know

    My intrinsic nature, my extended Self . . . Sounds good, but what if one doesn’t know everything? I went in there with that attitude, and realized there’s stuff there, things happening! All kinds of stuff, not just the bad. Something more complex is going on in there: I can feel the motion, flows, potential…

  • The beyond

    So, as far as levels go, and having to deal with them, the basic one may be the material world/body, and the mind/soul. Extremists may say you are either one or the other. Others will speak of the problems of being in the material level, rather than the spiritual. Washburn’s triphasic idea was interesting: one…

  • My life orientation

    With the Life World within the Greater World, I can think a bit differently about my life directions and what they mean. Within this active approach, its more than just the typical person dealing with the nasty, the unconscious, but the enhanced with better understandings. I’m at the level of the extended self now, no…

  • at the interface

    At this interface, between the ordinary and the greater . . . a source of creativity, knowledge, and meaning . . . Who you are, taken up a notch . . . enhanced . . . with multifaceted orientations . . . a new you . . . Opening up an activated experience . .…

  • My Extended Self

    Its about “me,” in that intermediate zone, intent and the figure/ground . . . the Life World within the encompassing Greater World, form and energy . . . where one can do one’s psychoanalysis, science . . . Identity within that active zone . . . moving from the small self to the Greater .…

  • The Mysterium: the mystic shadow

    When I look back at my old writings, now organized, I see hypothetically, I was right on. The new stages began once I saw and understood the “externalization,” and simultaneously, the Greater Modes of possible meaning, with the differences of “ways,” interpretations, occurring here, and the paths people were following, which were keeping me confused.…

  • from the domains on

    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,…
