Dorothy and the Wizard appears to be in the
order of Transformation,
Purple Orange Green Red Blue Yellow Supposing you were to watch a movie many many
times. In fact you saw it so many times that you were very familiar with it but
had not actually learned the dialogue by heart. Then a year or so later you saw
it on TV with the sound turned off. What might happen is that as long as you
could see the lips of the characters moving, you would hear a kind of soundless
sound. No timbre, no volume and heard in your head not in your ears. Not
lip-reading as you could "hear" the dialogue even if their heads were
turned to the side and you could just barely see the moving lips. Call that
soundless sound heard with the eyes a "virtual sound". By using various techniques and exercises it is
possible to develop virtual analogues to all of your senses. And, moreover,
virtual knowledge and understanding. In fact you can develop a sort of heads up
view of your surroundings simultaneous with your normal cockpit view. In
videogame terms, a third person view to go along with your normal first person
view. At least that's the theory. The third person
view would allow you to mess around with the cabin controls (biofeedback) and help
you to avoid difficult situations by going around them or not doing something
that you might have otherwise done. That is what the path of Transformation is
about. Personal change brought about by the appropriate exercises and
experiences to change you from being an ordinary old 18 sense person to a more
physically advanced 36 sense person. Clear
- arrival at Hugson's siding in the midst of violent upheavel - parallels -
major dissatisfaction with the meaninglessness of one's life. Desire to find
out what is really true and willingness to change. Taking the red pill rather
than the blue pill. Purple
- falling into the void - parallels - beginning the practice of contemplative
meditation and the stilling of judgmental thought, observing one's own thoughts
without being involved in them. Orange
- stones and clay rattling around - parallels - one's thoughts not giving up
that easily and demanding to be attended to. Uninvolvement not being possible. |
