When you look at an object or a scene, 2 modes of operations start.
The information received is being processed for survival and adaptation
first, and then for meaning (Semiotics).
1. Mode 1: I observe a target view.
2. Mode 2 : The target observes me.
3. When the view is a new environment, then the observer will

adaptation.

There are universal shapes to which everyone is subconsciously conditioned and
to which they can respond if their respond conscious control does not shut
them off. Henri Moore
Shape is an exteriorisation of an internal meaning. Wassily Kandinsky
The way our brain reads a view is by decoding colours,
shapes, l i n e s and compositions in search
for feeling and meaning.

The shapes are : the female triangle, the male

How Lines create messages.
When looking at a picture, we unconsciously absorb
the canvas of the lines which create the composition.
The artist always start with a sketch balancing the canvas.
Some compositions can be very complex :

Mode 2: I am being observed by the view.
The canvas contains all possible lines, shapes, colours, figures
and compositions that ever have been created or will be
created by man or man/machine. The canvas asks the artist:
which one do you want to show?

Mode 1: I look (gaze) at the object.

A particular view can trigger our unconscious to release inner messages.
This is particular true in the process of viewing abstract art and bi-stable
pictures.

What I am seeking is not the real and not the unreal but

The person who views a piece of art is part of the process
of art creation.
The unconscious works much faster than what we can
communicate in conscious mode.

You have seen Rorscharch pictures from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rorschach_blot.
At each picture that you view, you cannot keep your mind empty: you search
for a meaning of what this picture might represent.
In Nature we also can observe shapes that resemble known things and here
you tend to give a personal meaning. Many special shapes have become
in this way a relic for the people.

The Gaze into NOTHINGNESS learns that EMPTINESS wants to speak and reveal.
Something wants to escape from the darkness which only can happen
because of light.
The Message contains everything.
We pick that part which provides a MEANING to us.
Most of the time we stick to the first revelation and neglect or suppress the other
messages.
You can practise in perceiving more than one message.
Bi-stable pictures will help.
Next is such an example.
34. Discover your Self 1nf0 Graphic Mentors
These are bi-stable pictures that can
have different interpretations.
It can be an old lady witch, or a
young girl , or the same female
person at a different age.
Why do people stick to one interpretation out of the multiple possibilities?
35. Discover your Self 1nf0 Graphic Mentors
Perception is a chaotic process in search of a stable meaning.
The perception is an iterative process until a stable mental picture
has been reached, or until a mental compromise for relevance is achieved.
The viewer differentiates (ask for details) and integrates the inputs ( tries to
make sense of the inputs). This goes on till a stable view of the view is
reached.

The chaotic cycle within Perceptions follows an evolutionary path.

When we look into an abyss,
the abyss also looks into you. Friedrich Nietzsche.
This is the same as when your body wants to tell you what’s physically is
going wrong with you; or when in your garden the herb that might be
beneficiary for your health will try to catch your attention.
The first teaching is to learn about what the
picture, the view, the scene, the object wants to tell
you.

How this works:
When you think about something; try to replace that thinking
into a mode of thought making the thinking.
Try not to think but permit that Thought thinks you.
How to practise in real?
Next is to learn to practise the STATE OF NO MIND.
41. Discover your Self 1nf0 Graphic Mentors
- A first way is when you perform an activity like walking, biking,
swimming...,
stop your thinking about the trajectory or whatever other issue linked to
the activity.
Concentrate on the activity itself....let the walking walk, the bicycle bike,
the water swim my body.
- When you do intellectual labour do not search for truth but for the
different visions and opinions. Refuse to make preferences.
Practise the STATE OF NO MIND
42. Discover your Self 1nf0 Graphic Mentors
- Look in the multiplicity of things what unite them and repress the
dualistic categorisation.
Map the commonalities and unifying factors and elements.
- Practise to find the words that relate to facts. Eliminate the words and
rhetorically related to creation of sentiment and passions.
Listen to the wise: Nothing is more difficult than to be simple. Huxley
When Mind in itself is not liberated from the false,
There is nothing true ; nowhere is the True to be found.

To perceive the World is to co-perceive oneself.
The same principles are valid for the Audible.

Exercise by Audible experience.
When you listen to music you hear several
phenomenon simultaneous. Try to split a set
of these components like the instruments,
rhythms, etc. You reconstruct the
separated audible parcels in buckets
and continue to listen and repeat the process in a continuous way.
Another exercise is to repeat and to reconstruct what happened during the day
in chronologic sequence followed by the buckets weighted along a measure of
importance, impact, emotional etc. Your day experience is talking to you.
Make it a ritual habit. RITUAL REPETITIVE Processes are a powerful source
for releasing the unconscious messages.

In order to train your sense for no-mind, you can practise the
same exercise in a space-time mode.
Before you sleep just practise to recall all the different steps
you undertook during the day.
In the pre-sleep/dream mode the actions of the day are more
easily to be filtered from all attached emotions... Or at least
this is the objective to regard everything as a mechanical
process which pops up in the real live drive.
Take this step as a habit and you will see how more rational
and un-detached you will become and leave room to instinct
and the work of the unconscious.

Now that you have listened to Nothingness, take time to work
on you BIAS-ness.
We fiercely defend our truth during the day...but at night we
accept any lie in our dreams; we even enjoy those lies.
The two biggest secrets that remain sealed for mankind are:
DEATH and DREAMS.
You are your
BIAS
48. Discover your Self 1nf0 Graphic Mentors
Our DREAMS are a link to the Nothingness.
Dreams come to us, we cannot demand a dream to appear.
Dreams contain fragments from everything : any place and any time.
You never measure or calculate in a dream.
In dreams there is no logic or rationality, that’s why dreams and
language have lot’s in common like the hidden messages.
have you ever questioned what the meaning is of the words:
a thing, the message, it is dark, the thing itself, a mere question...
these simple words refer to the source if nothingness; as if we cannot
get any message without referring to that mysterious source.

BIAS

Nothingness is the paradise where we were expelled from. The word
‘remember’ is re-member; to become again a member of the Everything
present in Nothing. In French is remember ‘rappeler’, translated re-appeal
or call us back.

steps to rediscover your other SELF and rebalance Reality, overcome your
own Bias and make time for PLAY and UNLEARN.

In the process of un-learning the Knowledge, you have to
position your current Mental State on the
Evolutionary Path of Knowledge.
Different stages in the Evolutionary Path are:
- a Will to Truth: e.g. The Bible, the Power of Discourse and
Rhetoric, Quantification and Rationalisation.
- a Will to Message: decoding messages films, fairy tales.
Myths; Mathematical Models, Forecasting, MULTIMEDIA.
- A Will to Meaning: Chaos Theory, System Complexity, LOVE.

Summary Part 1:
- Learn to view and double your vision (direct & indirect).
- Idle Play.
- Learn to unlearn and new learn.
- Put yourself on the evolutionary track.
Part 2 will focus on Quantum thinking, the Chaos Theory, System
Complexities ( as our mental brain processes) and Semiotics. Insight
in these subjects will open your mind for visionary skills.
