Another Subcircuit to the Leary 8 Circuit Model?
I was driving home from my in laws farm yesterday and I had an interesting conversation with my wife Alessandra.
For some reason, I had taken it into my head to try and drive while also trying to be aware of my pheripheral vision at the same time. Now, shortly before we got in the car to drive, I was doing some heavy meditation on my new tattoo. And I think I may have dug up an ancient memory of an article I read way back in '91: Whole Earth Review: Nightwalking: exploring the dark with peripheral vision - includes tips on nightwalking
I mentioned this to Alessandra who then told me that that's how she drives. This of course blew me away, but then again Alessandra is quite special.
This led me to another thought that was built upon a statment made by my brother-in-law Wallace about his step father. "He was so observant he could walk into a room, look around and describe it to you perfectly down to the smallet details when he left."
Alessandra asked me how I drove, and not really thinking about it mimiced a space cadet and then I realized there was another circuit to the Leary Model: Internal vs External
I would say that it is woven between the first 3. The idea is thus: While all people view the world through the screens of World View (however THAT is shaped), people tend to favor either noticing the world through their eyes (External) or watching the world through their mental television sets (Internal).
Which mode they tend to, shapes their reality as a condition of their focus. I am more Internal, so I view the world through a filter of abstractions. I am more heavily influenced by what I think or would like the world to be versus the External who is more prone to see the world as it really is.
I don't have much more to say about that. Instead of using chemical assistance to travel back and forth along the spectrum, you would use single point meditation to boost your awareness. That periphrial vision thing is something I'd like to more fully explor.
