Auras/Chakras/Energy Question Regarding Clearing

[Spaced]

I'm not zenmaster but I do agree with what he says. Perception is just that, perception. Once you start making judgements on what you see then you get beliefs, biases and assumptions.

To use the Archetypes you have your Catalyst which is interpreted by Significator to turn it into an Experience. The Catalyst exists in the realm of raw perception and only through interpretation does is get assigned a position in the constellation of symbols we know as Experience which we carry around in our heads.

Many people hold firmly onto these symbols, which can lead to a lot of frustration in life. The way I see it instead of holding onto ideas, the mind should be kept soft and inviting, willing to accept things at face value so that ideas can come and nest for a while but are also free to go when they no longer apply, making room for new ideas.

Thank you for that explanation, Spaced.

Perhaps we are speaking of two different modes of perception.

From an observer self (or some call it true self) observation/perceptions are neutral, "it-is-what-it-is." No judgment, no meaning.

For another aspect of self, perception is an interpretation of a phenomenon based on beliefs,biases, values, and assumptions. Thus perception from this level is based on a meaning system that we construct through cultural, societal upbringing.

Yes, that makes sense. Reminds me of the concept of Habitus.

I see the habitus as being a set of masks we've developed to make interactions out in the field more efficient and productive, but in the end they are still masks.
