| Dynamics of being |
|
| …Theory of transformation |
|
| Dynamics of being is
an approach to transformation in which, with bases in the
foregoing—especially the actualities revealed by the fundamental principle.
The following are iterated (1) experiments are conceived and acted upon, (2)
outcomes are interpreted and enhanced experiments in transformation are
conceived. The Normal is not fixed and Normal possibilities and feasibilities
stand relative to our knowledge and are therefore subject to transformation
in the iterative process described |
|
| The intent includes but is
not limited to incremental negotiation of normal limits |
|
| Catalytic states and
modes of transformation |
|
| Concepts—physiological
sensitivity, psychic sensitivity, receptivity, readiness |
|
| These are states of
physiological and psychic sensitivity, receptivity and readiness… and are not
restricted to any compartment of mind or physiology |
|
| Concepts—dream,
hypnosis, vision, heightened awareness, focusing, integration, cultivation,
sensitivity, opportunity, idiosyncrasy |
|
| Types of state include dream,
hypnotic states, vision, heightened awareness to self—including of course the
unconscious—and world. Catalytic use includes focusing dreams and so
on and integration in awareness; cultivation over time; sensitivity to and
cultivation of opportunity and idiosyncrasy |
|
| Concepts—meditation,
yoga, exposure to and intuitive integration of archetypes, archetype—exposure
to, archetype—intuitive integration of, dream-symbol-Art-myth-Faith,
mysticism, induction, contemplation, shaman, groups |
|
| Approaches include
meditation and isolation of the psyche, suspension of judgment, exposure
to and intuitive integration of archetypes through
dream-symbol-Art-myth-Faith…and induction of states by contemplation,
via shaman and equivalents, and in groups |
|
| Concepts—physical
isolation, deprivation, physiological alteration, exposure, shock, trauma,
pain, fear, crisis, anxiety, imposed, volitional, exertion, exhaustion,
march, rhythm, dance, inaction, fast, environmental extreme |
|
| Enhancing or inducing
factors—physical isolations and deprivations, physiological alterations
from exposure, shock or trauma, pain, fear, crisis, anxiety—imposed or
volitional and purposive, exertion and exhaustion, march, rhythm and dance,
inaction, fasting and diet, and extremes in environment |
|
| Development of the
dynamic |
|
| The structure of the dynamic
may be inferred from the indeterministic-selective character of the process.
The process includes many other ‘methods’ |
|
| Common elements emerge from
examples as follows: |
|
| Desire for andor awareness
of immersion in change with or without an informed goal |
|
| Experiment and evaluation of
outcome—modification andor enhancement of knowledge of limits, means and
goals |
|
| The process and context are
now experienced as dynamic and changing |
|
| The dynamics itself becomes
or is seen as dynamic (meta-dynamics) and is integrated into intuition—what
is latent becomes actual, reflexivity enters awareness as an explicit
tool—and is applied to being itself which includes individual, identity, and
world |
