Part I, Chapter 3. ENERGY
(what we come into). (3)
This chapter has 3 sections labeled
God & Energy 3A, PEMS 3B and Metaphor 3C
Magnets 3D, Contrasts and Opposites 3E, Mirror Laws 3F
Reincarnation 3G.
Introduction.
What we come into is a world of energy, presumably in not all its
possible forms, but certainly enough for us. This energy is our ‘ground’; we
are made of it; it is all around us, and never-ending. If we are the fish, then
this is the ‘water’, as in, “the fish doesn’t know the water”. This
‘world’ of Energy presents great contrasts from the tiniest parts of an atom to
the hugeness of the Universe ‘out there’. These contrasts help us compare, and
as we do that become more aware of who we are.
This energy has a structure and laws, so the more we understand
them, the easier it is to navigate life in a manner that satisfies us.
We are here to learn about …
·
our own energy,
·
Life energy, and
·
the intersection between
these.
So we absolutely need to learn to describe/name/label it properly,
to ourselves and to others. Otherwise we cannot use what energy has to tell us,
much less work with it. The ‘fish’ is here to learn about the 'water’.
GOD AND ENERGY. (3A)
The Horse and the Rider. (3A1)
I have said before that I suspect that God is Mind exploring
Energy with the implication that they are 2 different things. We kind of assume
they are the same thing, but they are not. A useful metaphor is that of the
Horse and its Rider.
As we know, a horse can run with the wind, but humans can't, but
humans can ride horses and then they can ride with the wind. The horse is the
energy; it just goes where it pleases in its horsey mind; it can run free
anywhere a horse can go. But, the human can provide the direction ie, goals or
destinations.
The ride is exhilarating; and both seem to enjoy it.
Successful riding involves some things …
·
The human serves the horse
by looking after it, addressing its needs, and getting to know it. This is a
subservience to the horse’s needs for the human’s sake. Hopefully, we don’t run
around treating the horse like a car, because the horse won’t like it.
·
The horse serves the human
by providing a very large source of energy in one live package.
·
The human rider merges with
the horse through feel/senses; here both work together 'as one'; and both need
each other for their separate functions as well. Humans do other things, and so
do horses.
There is an essence of being-ness in this ride including a love of
life; the mastering of the skills required, the physicality of it, and the
stimulation of the senses; desire and delight together, and self-esteem in the
skills that have been learned.
The human finds out more about himself through his
skills/abilities in riding and in using the horse, and directing it. The horse
isn’t actually telling us what he thinks about it, but many horses appear to
enjoy it too.
Success in riding the horse includes being able to stay on it and
direct it. If we are riding the horse incorrectly or don’t know why we’re on
it, or where we want to go, (viz, our internal motives are poor), we
will eventually fall off, which can be a bit disastrous, not to mention
painful.
When we watch a skilled horseman, horse and rider look like a
single being, and we can ‘see’ where the myths of the centaurs came from. They
look like a single entity and we have tales about them, but in the case of God
and Energy, they are not a single entity.
This metaphor has its limits, because energy is all pervasive, not
just a single entity, but it can be a useful concept.
God uses Energy to Explore Herself. (3A2)
God is ‘the rider’, not the ‘horse’ of Energy. We can use this
metaphor to understand that God is using energy to explore Her Self; to find
out 'who is here?' She has learned how to ride the horse and is thus using
Energy correctly, as in, with the correct motives.
In the same manner humans are here to learn to ride the ‘horse of
energy’. But it is also easy to become rather frightened of the horse; after
all, it is somewhat larger than we are.
But our motives for what we want to do, ie why we want to
do it/them, are crucial and I deal with them in the Goal-Setting chapter.
It is important to understand the horse and the rider are 2
separate things, because much of what God is trying to tell us (all those
injunctions in the Bible) is about what happens when we use Energy
incorrectly. Almost all of these are when God is trying to tell us that
something ‘bad’ will happen if we do such-and-such. We insist on thinking that
‘God will punish us’ and this seems a complete anomaly when we want to think of
a ‘loving’ God. But God is not Energy; She has worked out how it works and uses
it all the time, but every time She tries to warn us humans on earth about what
it does, we think it’s God Herself doing the punishing, because we think they
are the same thing, and they are not.
In fact, Energy is energy, and is not actually concerned about us
at all; it’s just ‘there’ and it does its own thing according to itself; just
like a horse in the wild. So, notice that God gets to ‘fit in’ with
Energy; it is not the other way around. And so do we get to ‘fit in’.
What God is trying to tell us is that when we work out how to ‘fit in’ with
Energy, we can have a wonderful time. But it can certainly hurt when we fall
off, and it can potentially kill us. And we could also notice here, how much we
think that Energy should ‘fit in’ with us! And how much we complain about it
when it doesn’t!
Everything on Earth is made of Energy, hence everything on Earth
is telling you something about this energy. Whether that thing involves one or
a few, or lots of facets, it is still telling you. An example here can be the
‘energy’ or qualities of a dog or a cat or a tree, plant, bird and so on. We
would naturally describe them all in different terms. But, the terms we use to
describe this energy also tell us about who we are.
This turns up in lots of ‘pop’ psychology quizzes, eg. ‘Choose
what you like best out of dog, pig, cow, sheep and so on’. So, energy does
‘odd’ things.
Also, many of the Nature-based religions (generally regarded as
pagan) use these natural energies of whatever is out there in their
environment, as indicators for giving direction and feedback which is in fact
extremely useful, and a skill that our marvelous technological society simply
cannot comprehend at all. This was something that was far more natural in
societies not so long ago.
Well, then, how do we learn to ‘fit in’ with Energy? It’s very
strange stuff, but we can get a handle on its structure. It has rules and it
provides us with tools which we can learn to use. But, really, a lot of this is
about our own attitude to Life. If we can allow life to tell us about Energy,
and stop expecting it to fit in with our wonderful selves, that’s a good start.
Something to remember is that how we use energy always has
consequences. If we do ‘a’ we’ll get ‘b’. What we don’t know is, when.
We like to think that this does not happen, or it goes the way we want it to.
Older people have a lot more experience with that one.
First, we will consider some properties.
Nearly 4,000 words.
This is the 2nd part of the Chapter 3 on what we come into.
It deals with some of the Properties of Energy.
THE 4 DOMAINS OR DEPARTMENTS OF ENERGY; PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL,
MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL (PEMS). (3B)
Introduction.
Energy has properties and it is useful to have some sort of handle
on them, said ‘handle’ being how we observe and name things. The most easily
accessible is that energy seems to have 4 directions.
In the Western world we consider energy as having 4 directions,
departments, domains, compartments, facets or quadrants, which we label,
Emotional, Physical, Mental and Spiritual (PEMS). (Although these are also
sometimes listed as PMES.)
In this discussion I will be using the term ‘domain’ most of the
time, because ‘directions’ gets confusing.
Notice that the way in which our Psyche/Mind is built has a direct
correlation with these 4 domains of Energy. This makes sense to me. The western
world has a long history of correlating the 4 domains with the 4 ‘humours’ of
personality, and the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire.
(Someone else can correlate the Eastern world’s 5 elements system,
which works very well in its own right. Thus, using the 4 elements system is
really just a particular way to cope with energy, but said ‘coping’ can still
be very useful.)
DEFINING THE 4 DOMAINS.
The 4 domains are the….
Physical - this is the sensate, or
the specific, what we can sense as we see, touch/feel, taste and hear part of
the world, for your own body and for the external world. This is symbolized by
Earth. (It corresponds with Jung's Sensate function.)
Emotional - this is the emotional,
for within own self and externally ie others’. (The word ’Feelings’ includes
both sensate and emotional, so that is why it is not used.) We use Water as the
symbol for this domain. (This corresponds with Jung's Emotional function.)
Mental - the domain of reason,
logic and data; your own and others’. Air is the symbol. (It corresponds with
Jung's Thinking function.) and
Spiritual - the domain of meaning and
values; beliefs, intuitions (as in, ‘answers’ or ‘logical leaps’) and motives;
your own and others’. It’s the ‘why’ or the ‘about’; the ‘meta’ bit; its
concepts are usually abstract. Fire is the symbol for this part of energy. Fire
is about inspiration; what ‘fires’ us up. This is the part where we can 'jump'
to 'conclusions', and I suspect that the spirit part of us can 'jump up' for
these 'answers' that seem to be spread about in space.
‘Spiritual’ is a difficult word to define, and generally unsatisfactorily
for most people, but it is usually used to refer to what we believe. The word
now tends to be used for someone’s personal belief system (internal
‘Spiritual’), while ‘religion’ is used as the word for the external, social
domain. Religion is about the biggest ‘why’.
Restricting the ‘spiritual’ domain to only ‘religion’ narrows it
right down, whereas it is actually much larger because it includes the
abstract, theoretical, generalizations, intuitions (logical leaps not based on
reason), the principles of things, their patterns and connections, as well as
metaphor and symbols. If we consider that this domain is generally about the
‘why’ of things, or ‘the bigger picture’, then we could consider this domain to
be ‘Inspiritive’ or inspirational because the ‘why’ inspires us.
I suspect that the 'Spiritual' Domain is actually the same as
Jung's 'Intuitive' category of personality type. See also MBTI section.
We still need to use the letter ‘S’ here because PEMS is so
universally used to denote all 4 energy domains/departments.
Internal plus External. (3Ba)
But, we have these domains internally as well as externally; we
are energy too.
So, with 4 domains each from ‘in here’, internally, plus ‘out
there’, externally, we have a total of 8 domains to consider, and society
regards and thus treats them in very different ways.
HOW SOCIETY TREATS THESE DOMAINS. (3B1)
The External Domains. (3B1a)
Our Western society can generally understand and measure the
physical (P) and mental (M) domains, but has such a hard time measuring the
other 2 (Emotional and Spiritual) that it regards them as ‘weak’, unscientific,
and basically best left ignored or repressed, especially if negative. They both
also take far too much time to deal with, so they are generally regarded as
detrimental; people should just be happy, and that’s that.
We have very strange attitudes to what we measure and how we
measure it, and generally insist that it be in the physical with a few
exceptions including theoretical physics, although there is still a great deal
of mathematical logic applicable here.
But, in general, if we can’t measure it, we simply say it is not
there, which is strange. We don’t say to ourselves, well, how could we measure
this, or what sort of instrument(s) would be required? We simply ditch the
whole thing and it just gets sent to the ‘It’s not there’ basket, hence the
conclusion that it’s not ‘scientific’ ie, it’s not ‘real’ and only the deluded
would think so. (Just exactly what is it that ostriches are supposed to do?) An
obvious and common example here is that if something is in-valuable (so much
value), we give it a 0 (nought, zero) value.
External Emotions (E) belong to others; we ‘control’ ours,
especially we should be able to control our emotions with our minds, or if this
fails use these pharmaceuticals, (a physical remedy).
The Inspiritive (S) domain is also generally ignored as irrelevant
to most; religions teach what they believe, and many do not agree, but offer no
alternative, or are not interested in the ‘why?’ in the first place. Most
people consider that our religions do not affect us; you might have noticed by
now that I do not agree.
The Internal Domains. (3B1b)
These are different according to the socialization of men and
women.
We have the same set of domains available to us internally but,
men (and some women) are taught to turn their ‘radio receivers’ off. We forget
we’ve done this because we are still transmitting, and so is everyone else, and
we are still actually receiving. We have simply turned off the internal
connection between reception and registering it.
We are taught to ignore our receiver, ie the vibes we receive
through the body; men especially; a major disconnect from Life. This is very
much a ‘shooting of the messenger’. We don’t like the bad news, so we stop our
ability to receive any news at all! Very useful.
This ‘turning off’ then leaves us without the information from the
body which is the feeling part, ie, both the sensing (the ‘gut feelings’
which are the Internal Physical) and the emotional domains, as in, no Internal
Physical and no Internal Emotional. Hence the mind ends up with ‘no body’, and
nothing will affect us (we think), and nothing will matter to us. This means
nothing in life matters to us, and this is a very ‘spirit’ attitude, because
for spirit, it doesn’t, and it’s busy teaching ‘detachment’.
As these feelings are cut off, the body becomes treated in a
manner similar to a car, as a mechanical device. If anything goes wrong with
it, we think we can repress/ignore symptoms, cut or mend or get rid of the
offending part if it gets worse, or find a replacement if needed.
This means that the emphasis now falls onto the internal Mental
(IM) only, which is supposed to control everything (mind over matter, etc.) and
any failures here leave you very much on your own. (Within ‘normal’ society,
the ‘Spiritual’/Inspiritive domain does not ‘count’ either internally or
externally.) The problem here is that it isn’t ‘all in the mind’, but
this strong social ‘truism’ leaves you labeled as ‘out of control’ and ‘weak’
in others’ estimation. It is very difficult not to feel sorry for one’s self if
you are unable to ‘control’ your body, but self-pity or even sympathy from
others don’t seem to ‘fix’ very much, as far as I can find. Our general
psychotherapy (which is the tool we use to ‘help’ those with mental problems)
has a large emphasis on re-establishing any sufferer back into ‘the social
norm’, so it’s going to be a pity if it’s the ‘norm’ that’s causing the problems
in the first place.
The problem with ‘all in the mind’ is a semantic one. Our
psyche/mind is receiving data/vibes from inside and outside the body and
we use it to think, so there’s a lot in our heads. Thinking is a mental
exercise and comparing and contrasting data using logic is regarded as being in
the Mental domain. But the Spiritual domain is also received through our mind;
it’s a mental process as well, while the feeling processes of sensations and
emotions come through the body. Society gives great precedence to the Mental
domain, but there’s an awful lot more than that in our heads. When we tell
someone that it’s ‘all in the mind’, it’s generally translated as, all you need
to do is be logical about this, and think about it properly and you can sort
it. But the answer to this is yes, it is all in the mind, but a. You’re
not conscious of much of it, and b. It is not simply some mental exercise to
‘see reason’ or be logical and you’re stupid if you can’t work it out, and c.
What is there will also be from the other domains as well, which we think don’t
count. Thus, it is not just a mental or even conscious exercise. The mind is a
lot more than simply the Mental domain.
Women are not quite so pressured to disconnect from their bodies
and it’s actually more difficult for them to do so, especially if they wish to
relate to others. The hormonal cycles and changes during their life force more
focus/attention on the body in the attempt to handle them. The emotional domain
is also considered to belong to women only, and naturally it makes them weak,
crazy, and stupid. Yes, well, you know what I think. Both sexes are ‘allowed’
to have the internal Mental.
The interesting thing is that women can have access to all the
internal domains if they are able to validate their internal physical and
emotional feelings, and find a useful belief system as well (internal
Spiritual/Inspiritive). This can happen as they take to the world of the
esoteric. Most of the systems available in the esoteric are methods of describing
the internal vibes/feelings using names/labels that have been developed over a
great many years.
Access to all 4 domains internally gives great potential for
stability.
THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES. (3B2)
Thus, internally and externally we lack many of the domains as we
try to understand Life. We are restricted in our ability to use all facets of
energy, and therefore we have very few skills at this. Essentially, we are
judging some domains as ‘bad’ and others as ‘good’, but this is Energy we are
talking about; it’s our ‘ground’ - it’s everything; even God ‘fits in’ with it;
so, who do we think we are?
Externally, we exist in the world of the measurable only, which is
the Physical sensate (things) and the Mental (logic and data) so that leaves
out any inSpiritive (the why) or any Emotional (weak, crazy, stupid, etc.)
Internally, we are left with the world of the mind only which
might include the InSpiritive ’intuition’ which belongs to Spirit, and the
mental dimension of information, and logic etc. Your mind should be able to
control everything about it, and you’re a failure if/when you can’t do that.
Thus, internally, we have no body, as in, no sensing or emotions, which leaves
us feeling like no-body.
This leaves us about as secure in Life as trying to stand on a
table with only 2 legs, or a plant that puts all its growth into one direction
because of lack of light from other directions, and is vulnerable to falling
over.
Externally there is no height, and internally there is no body =
nobody = ghost.
This ‘world view’ of ours leads to a very flat earth indeed, and
very ‘cardboard’ people; we have neither depth nor height in most of the
domains and it absolutely hamstrings us in terms of sorting out our problems or
much less, trying to grow to become a whole person.
Wholeness in energy terms requires using all the domains.
Our assumption here is that if we don’t count it, as in, ignore
it, it won’t and doesn’t affect us!! (Once again, can ostriches teach us
anything?) How much can we ignore and for how long? And how limited and daft
can we get?
When we ignore some of the domains, they don’t go away - they’re
still there. We simply remain ‘immature’ and cannot grow or develop, and cannot
work out how to do so. We cannot ask the right questions to get us out of this
mess. If the questions are incorrect, the answers cannot be correct.
This leaves us very insecure in our world and dependent upon appearing to
‘succeed’, which is often only in the short-term.
We need to use all the domains to give us information about
ourselves within our ‘energy ground’. This is the only way we can grow
properly.
Our failure to understand the Domains includes the consequences
of….
·
Leaving us unable to
consider that a problem presenting in the physical may be originating from one
or more other domain(s).
·
We don’t know how to solve
our own problems and hence we remain dependent on others’ answers, ie,
society’s ideas about what we should be wanting rather than giving people tools
and validation for looking for themself. These ideas tend to be focused on what
we worship in life as desirable, and they are actually pretty limited.
·
No rudders to help us look
for what we really want, ‘cos we don’t/won’t let ourselves experience
disappointment. We’re ‘controlling’ our emotions. Firstly, we’ve ‘shot the
messenger’ because we are afraid of Life, and Secondly, we won’t look at and
can’t use the information in ‘disappointment’ to tell us what we might have
been wanting. (It’s just ‘put it behind you’.)
·
Boredom and dissatisfaction
as we stymy or stunt ourselves, and cannot grow.
Notice also that to say ‘I think, therefore I
am’, (Descartes) is actually the cry of the someone who does not know if they
exist. It could just as easily be, ‘I feel, therefore I am’, or ‘sense’ or
‘intuit’. But all scientists who pride themselves on being ‘scientific’ use
this maxim as the be-all and end-all of any life enquiry; just about to
everybody’s detriment by giving such precedence to the mental domain. Remember,
the crux here is that we are aware of our thinking or sensing or
intuiting, as in, there is something in us ‘above’ these things that is doing
this 'awareness'.
The body does not really differentiate between the domains/facets,
in that physical, mental or emotional abuse are all equally painful for the
receiver, with the mental or emotional aspects more difficult to spot, and much
harder to measure or calibrate. (This also begs the question of why do
we think we need to calibrate these things?)
This is also a warning not to take any domain entirely literally.
Many things that may appear to us as being from the external physical only can
have an equivalent in the emotional or other domains. See more in the
discussion on metaphor below, and under Mirrors.
The PEMS Pyramids and the Growth Diamond. (3B3)
A diagram for the growth of our own sense of self within the world
of energy out there, could be shown as a pyramid. The four sides are the 4
domains of energy, and we are at the centre; the line up the middle becoming
higher as the pyramid increases in height. This central line of self could be
named a shoot (as of a plant).
When something has 4 legs (tables, animals) it has a stability to
it. If it is a 4-sided pyramid, it is very stable. Stability implies security.
When we have an upright pyramid over an inverted one, we get a
diamond, which we consider a very valuable thing; very bright, hard and
ever-lasting.
Diagram 3B.1
This diamond shows us the external domains that we want to grow
out or up into, and the internal domains that we need to grow down into (’know
thyself’). The inward looking line of self could be named the root. This leads
us to the Plant Metaphor.
THE PLANT METAPHOR. (3B4)
A plant consists of a root and a shoot. The shoot absorbs sunlight
from the sky, and the roots provide security and absorbs nutrients from the
earth. As a plant successfully develops its roots as it penetrates the soil, it
finds nutrients that can support the shoot which can grow up into the light.
The plant needs to grow straight to be able to reach up properly,
and be fed by light from all directions.
When we can't use the internal Domains, we can't put our roots
down to any extent; they go in some directions and not others and hence can't
find stability. We cannot feed ourselves from all directions within, so cannot
develop all our roots to obtain the widest variety of nutrients. The root
system ends up stunted and lopsided, and any gardener knows that this limits
the plant.
The shoot tries to grow, but the root system is limited. The upper
pyramid of energy is also missing some domains, so any increase in height will
jeopardize the stability of the shoot. If it grows too far or too fast in only
1 direction, it will fall over.
Using all 4 domains internally brings us internal stability and
‘nutrients’, while using all 4 domains externally helps us to grow in a stable
manner. The plant is able to grow up and ‘flower’ ie, reach its potential, not
to mention being better able to endure the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune.
Thus, using this plant metaphor within our world view of the PEMS
of Energy …..
Men generally have access to
the Internal Mental for their root development, and the External Physical and
Mental for their shoot development. This is a bit like a tall tree being
planted in a corner between 2 walls which will lead to 1/4 of the root space
for exploration, support and 'feeding' as well as having to get away from these
walls to get up to the light, as in, unable to grow straight, and the bigger it
gets the more likely it is to fall over. While,
Women are not quite so planted in
a corner (nor are they allowed to get too big) so they have the potential for
a better root structure, (which men
sense and envy) but they tend to have their 'shoots' 'out there' lopped off or
cut back unless those shoots are to 'saint' or 'mother'. This can be a tad
frustrating for them, leaving them with some difficulty reaching their
potential.
I develop these themes further in Part III.
But, to return to PEMS, how do we actually get from one domain to
the other?
WE USE METAPHORS. (3C)
Metaphors are the bridges that allow us to jump across the domains
from one to the other. Interestingly, metaphors and symbols belong in the
Spiritual/’inSpiritive/intuitive’ domain, because they can have more than one
meaning at a time. It is metaphor and symbols that give us the ‘entree’ into
another domain which feels similar to going from 2-D to 3-D; richer, fuller and
far more informative, and far more able to see Life as a whole; ‘in the round’
so to speak.
Some examples. (3C1a)
1. A metaphor for someone who drinks a lot or who needs to drink
is that this person could be looking for ‘spirit’ in a bottle as the only way
they can identify anything/remedy ‘out there’ to dull their emotional and/or
mental pain (and alcohol is fairly easy, cheap and socially acceptable). If
this metaphor is relevant, it can tell us that the problem lies in having no
reason or meaning in their life (the ‘spirit’ual domain). However, the
emotional gets mixed in as well, because nothing in life ‘fills them up’. They
may also be ‘drowning their sorrows’ which has the implication that their
sorrows are ‘drowning’ them. The ‘emotional’ domain being symbolized by water,
fluid or liquid.
The message then is, attend to the spiritual dimension and
probably the emotional as well; neither the physical, as in, pharmaceuticals,
nor the mental, as in, learn to control yourself using logic, is really going
to address the problem. Hence the value of the 12-step programs which do
acknowledge a ‘higher’ power, as well as giving emotional support to the
‘lost/empty/drowning’.
2. Someone who smokes may be unable to ‘catch fire’, as in, unable
to find what sets them alight or gives them the drive or the desire from the
heart; they just smolder along. The problem here can be emotional and/or
spiritual and may well be both. But the metaphor is a reminder that other
dimensions exist and need to be addressed.
3. If someone is having problems with any part of the body, the
emotional issues for that part also need to be addressed; in fact all physical
problems have some of their roots in the other dimensions. It is terribly
simplistic to consider otherwise, and the costs of supporting the walking
wounded are becoming increasingly unsustainable.
It is metaphor that tells us in which domain to look. There are
quite a few books about such things. They are listed in the chapter on Tools
for the Journey.
Our dreams use symbol and metaphor to reach us emotionally and
physically, and they can feel very real and very forceful to the recipient, and
many of us can accept that, although the general consensus is that they are
essentially non-sense. (Another useless general consensus. We have a few of
these.)
Many athletes are able to use careful imagination to train
themselves in the correct mindset as well as physical training to achieve their
goals, as in, they are using the abstract domain to affect the physical.
The use of metaphor is particularly derided as ‘woo-woo’ and ‘New
Age’ but we need to understand that this is a problem with our current social
beliefs or ‘world view’, not with using metaphor. I consider these social
beliefs to be based on spirit’s ideas about Life on Earth. Spirit wants so much
to be off-earth and out of all this ‘entrapment’, that its ideas are not useful
to us, and actually leave us fairly powerless in facing life. Time for a
change.
After all, the part of us that sends us our dreams, to try to tell
us what we are doing to ourselves, uses symbols and metaphor and even makes
puns at times, which I find amazing.
The real test is that of the words themselves. If they ‘work’ or
apply across the domains, then language itself is telling you that you’re on
the right track. You may feel uncomfortable about such truth and wish to reject
it, but that does not make it incorrect.
In some respects, using metaphor to awaken us to other
possibilities in other domains sort of makes it harder to learn how to address
our problems, but that’s probably because we have so very little social learning
or skills in these areas. We tend to want things simple and easy, but we are
built to handle these 4 domains, and we could if we understood them.
However, without understanding this concept of the 4 domains and
how to use them, we have a terrible time. This has been the case for quite some
time, although we have since developed much psychological understanding, even
if we do ignore/waste it.
In Sum.
This UUS uses metaphor constantly as we continue on this
discussion; it really is the only way to understand what we do to ourselves.
Now we go on to further properties and some rules. The more we
understand them, the more we can use them to our advantage.
