Desmond Avery, while playing Dean at the Academy, once said
at a staff meeting that he did not come to the Order through the RS-1 as he was
addressed by the wisdom of Imaginal Education.
My take on the matter begins with the "image"
through Kenneth Boulding that allowed us to say five sentences: a) everyone
operates out of images, b) images determine behavior, c) images can change, d)
change of image changes behavior, e) change behavior and change history.
Cute and bold statements but if one wanted to change
history, one pays attention to how images are created.
There are three images I use in my class: self-image, social
image, and planetary image.
Before abstracting the self-image into the O-R-I-D arrows, I
draw a person's head and identify the three major regions of the brain that
process, a) sense (medulla oblongata), b) emotions (cerebellum), c) cognition
(cortex/cerebrum), and d) action (the will of the whole body).
After using the visual and graphic image for two sessions, I
then add that I will abstract it in four bold lines (the senses), with a first arrow
(feelings), and a second arrow (thoughts and ideas), enclose the lines and arrows
in a rectangle, and draw the final arrow outside as deed. The four bold lines become the "O"
(objective), the first arrow the "R" (reflective), the second arrow
the "I" (interpretive), and the last arrow on the
rectangle-encapsulated bold lines with two arrows is the "D"
(decisional).
The understanding is that the four steps are common to
everyone, and that we all begin with the senses before feelings that proceed to
thoughts and results in action.
The social image is the social process of economic,
economic, and cultural dynamics.
In a pedagogy of University teachers at the Shenyang
Aerospace University, pointing to the "symbol" at the top of the
Social Process triangle, I pulled out a sheet of 6 Ur images plus one, the
contemporary earthrise consciousness that uses the rainbow coalition of Hawaii
as the master image. I also
accented the preoccupation of the Om on
the unity of existence, the Yin-Yang as
unity in duality that builds in the pivot point of contradiction, the Social Process triangle as
unity in trinity (thesis-antithesis-synthesis), and the 4x4 as thinking in
four. I then joke on penta-thinking as
advanced; that is why the Pentagon is always ahead of everyone!
However we use, market, or title imaginal education, it
begins with the assumption that everyone operates out of images, and that the
brain creates those images through the natural categories of how people learn
(we use four; five or six or more to mathematical thinkers), the rationale of
our 4x4.
Planetary image is just the blue orb of NASA's 1968
lunarscape earthrise.
Other than the reality of climate, ocean waves and land terrain, is anyone working on this?
