working with yellow ray

[Ens Entium]

Hey plenum

It may be help to consider yellow ray issues in an extraverted way. I think your question to address the issues furthers the focus on yourself, which I think is another thing that can come between you and the interaction.

Because the 'societal self' can have a range of concerns across the rays, an avenue is to think of the 'societal self' as the self (apparatus) within the social structure/terrain -- group assumptions and concerns, how and what projections groups predispose to, social value and currency among groups, 'natural' perceptions of you. These 'groups' you can think of subsets of people as defined according aspects of their identity that distinguish them outside of themselves and in the wider world - so gender, occupation, religious views, etc. Along with it being the self within that structure or 'group terrain' it's that part of self which has the (particular (to society)) social tools available to it.

In short it's that aspect of you situated in the group terrain context (and how that defines you and what that means for you) along as the apparatus/vehicle with which you navigate that terrain, using the social tools available.

The questions then become, "how do I use those tools to relate to the social/group structures I come across?", "is my view of the group terrain helpful?" and so on.

Then do you know of a question or an idea (diagnostic) that distinguishes "the actual interactions" from the personal issues around them?

With orange ray unblocked, yellow ray may then be utilized to develop an ego which is aware of self-management, and of its role and potential role in the social condition. The awareness provides opportunity to refine, navigate, control, extend "other-self" interactions, culture, institutions, law, etc.
The diagnostic question would not be "how do I feel about being in a situation (social or otherwise)", it would be "am I effectively determining, experiencing, and managing social opportunities.". Developing such a stable ego is the whole point of 3rd density.

Hmmm... Thank you.

A quick question, how have you come to know that your orange ray is unblocked.

My 'yellow ray' view on things, and interaction in general, is limited because I have the concern that whatever orange ray issue or imbalance I have is being thrown into the situations; and that can quite quickly hijack my attention away from the yellow ray stuff.
