The deepest
level: contact between people
in the most appropriate way and this is the Dharma or life goal
of my whole life: communication! You see what I mean? Starting
from a very ordinary set of personal belongings, you can trace back
a real, deep essence, as longs as you stay looking in a
connective way !
Suppose a 'negative,
analytic person' looks at the same items, this person could
make conclusions or evaluations as follows (this is just an example):
'Rik is rather old as he needs a lot of viewing aids and is probably
on a constant diet and not very social as he dislikes what the host
serves (real sugar). The box with cards is rather scratched, old fashioned
and a little dirty, he should clean it up. The whole group items makes
noise in his pocket when entering my doorway, he seems an odd, chaotic
person'...
Well, the essence of all this?
Fill it in for yourself, but this fictive 'analytic' person will certainly
have a very different view of the world compared with mine and I will
have to be rather patient in our communication, if ever we come to
a fruitful mutual understanding at all.
Why is this happening?
In the Meta View, we look at the connective meaning
= what is more common between all. We look from one item to the other
in connecting interpretations. This gives ALWAYS a positive
result at the bottom line, and the 'positive energy' increases
while diving deeper. Each meaning of the adjacent item increases
the understanding of the others. At the end, you come in contact
with a very essential characteristic of the person or the group of
items.
He feels seen and understood
in his soul and he will go to great length to find a mutual way of
co-operating, doing business, following therapy with you or whatsoever.
Every time we do this exercise with somebody, this person feels really
appreciated.
In the analytic, detailed
'negative' way of looking the meaning
of the items has a destabilizing effect as there is going on a constant
evaluation and comparison with the meaning of the adjacent item. Conclusions
are closed and negatively biased, trying
to 'separate' something. End result: bah, not very interesting,
drop it, is that all ?....
