Overlaid Bisociations

Overlaid Bisociation: Energy Oscillation

Action-integration of The Four Phases of Being in the Liquid Thinking Model (LTM) (Please see Multi-Spiralling Liquid Thinking in the POEMS), is conceptualized as "Overlaid Bisociation" in Figs. 3 and 4 (entry to come) using the Principle of Synchronicity through a synthesis "Of Being" called "Response-Ability". "Being Metaphor" is shown in these designs how it utilizes synchronicity to harmonize all aspects of the self in preparation for action while in a state of openness to receive in abundance the gifts of insight, grace, ideas, wisdom, new meaning...etc.

Phase I/II - Active Subconscious: Back Burner Functions

Childhood Phases: These are developed freely through play, trust, natural curiosity, exploration and in the manipulation of materials... These two Phases must be maintained, nurtured and integrated into the adulthood phases III/IV. Characteristics of the Childhood Phases within the Adulthood Maturity Block may be noted as: "thrill-seeking", zest-searching, puzzle-solving, playfulness and humour. The Childhood Phases must be assisted and modelled by adults to remain healthy aspects of a peson as they pass through childhood stages fitting comfortably into the adolescent and finally adult life. Shadow resolutions are an essential contribution made by the adults for the Phase II development for the manageability of "provocation" and accepting the limitations of "quest".

Phase III/IV - Active Conscious: Front Burner Functions

Adulthood Phases: These are developed through active involvement, interaction and participation in a field of interest where expertise is garnered. Adults model and teach these Adulthood Phases to children who experience them through the wisdom and guidance of adults.

Phase I/IV - Unexpected

Some Character Attributes: Gift; Feminine; Subjective; Invisible; Right-Brain functions; Contingent character to life is accepted; in awe of the wonderful and the mysterious; movement; transformation; "wonderosity"; justice; vulnerable; fragility; insecurity in not knowing; not certain

Phase II/III - Action-Preparation

Some Character Attributes: Masculine; Objective; Visible; Left-Brain functions. Conscious participation, commitment, hard work, application of skill, service, planned, experimental, testing, verification, strategies, certainty

Phase I/III - Response With Service

Some Character Attributes: Vocation, contribution, citizen, a life dedicated; Expertise and wonder interact for respect of all life and resources; tempers greed, envy...the negative emotions; "Love of", and Love for" develops altruistic service steering away from the self-serving limitations.

Phase II/IV - Response To Love

Some Character Attributes: Creative energy, inspiration, insight, vision, resolution; Problem and vision amalgam; to harm no one including oneself; A symphony of harmony with the thorn-rose paradox of life and conflicts; avoids a shallow self-serving "Being Metaphor Shadow".

Like the activity of electrons in the presence of a superconductor, each Phase in the presence of the metacognitive intervention "Being Metaphor", bisociates with another to retain energy and loses nothing to resistance. Resilience, versatility, and liquid transformations of thinking flow in abundance.

Harmonization is possible within the synthesis. This synchronicity balances all phases to focus action. The quality of this action depends on the "Response-Ability" of the person.
The challenge for "Response-Ability" is to recognize and to act upon the blessing of the moment in synchrony. Flux that cannot transform remains provocation: a problem, the unsolved puzzle, an irritant, a bur goading quest.

"Being Metaphor" prepares us to act. In the preparation stages, testing "Being Parent...gold medalist, victim, criminal, police officer, advisor" etc., is the rehearsal phase. Used as a metacognitive tool to guide action before it is actually done, changed, avoided, canceled, or confirmed is the moment of "temporary absolute".

Synchronized with Moral Law and its rules of freedom, action can unite "Self" to "Self", "Self" to "World", and "Self" to "Ultimate Being" -God. (Fox, 1983; Weiser & Yeomans, 1988) Panikkar calls this capacity in all humans an end-point that is the goal and focus of the evolutionary process of being human and calls this profound triadic union of the human being with the created cosmos and the devine: The Cosmotheandric Experience.

In the LTM theory, I tend to distinguish this triadic relationship with the term “tetradic” or four-sided like the four-sided pyramid. The triadic relationship has to be established by the one- oneself, even though we believe God initiates and we respond, but the maintenance and collaboration has to come from the free and willing person. Therefore, the Cosmotheandric Experience can only occur in the personal mode - a tetrad: myself and God, myself and other humans, myself and the cosmos that includes all of nature in our various bioregions of cohabitation. The pyramidal analogy, with the bottom foundational triangle as self, and the three sides –God, humans, cosmos is a good example of this tetrad relationship made up of self in relationship with God, others and nature.

"Being Pyramidal"
helps us to embody
the metaphor of being
whose attributes allow us
to interpret and reflect upon
personal experiences
for soul expansive
mind-altering reorientation of self
as we keep in mind
this four-sided perspective
in the whole of the meaning.

From the manuscript: The Beholden

The Positive of Negative

In any kind of
     harassment
     terrorism
     human degradation
as in
     hostage-taking provocations
     prisoners of war in detentions
     concentration of inhuman encampments
     mental and emotional enslavements
     whatever the abusive variation
personal energy orientation
comes to an end
depleted devastated
unless rooted in Hope.

Then comes the cracking point:
     into the insanity spiral
     retaliate - allow violence full reign and strike back
     provoke the need for a public assassination
     become numbed by the whole experience in alienation
     "run into the wire" to die
or
work with the forces of devastation
as does the Author of Life
and transform the negative into positive
and have more of life.

And to have it more abundantly:

I listen
     from the holiest of inner spaces
     and creativity unfurls
     cracks open the gift of insight
     for its meaning
     seeing with new eyes
     the world.

I feast
     on its meat and vein
     heart marrow and kernel
     knowledge and understanding
     for energy re-organization
     in person
as in
    group, nation, global planet
    micro-macro places of being in unison:

The work of Grace.
