Use The Appropriate Eye For Seeing
​
Modernity differentiates what is Good (morals and religion) from what is Beautiful (art) from what is True (science).  These distinctions were all fine and good until they went too far, until differentiation became disassociation. Differentiation is necessary for integration (a process described earlier in our discussion of transcendence) but disassociation can lead to the kind of repression that allowed the Church to prevent Galileo from discussing what he saw through his telescope.

Where there was once (before Modernity) considerations of quality and quantity, disassociation reduces this wholesome coupling to mere quantity. How significant a thing or action may be is replaced with how costly or big a thing may be.  

In both science and Modernism, moral considerations of better and worse are replaced with scientific considerations of bigger and smaller. This replacement occurs in the ways we “see.” 

For each of these ways to see we have, in effect, different eyes.  We use “the eye of the flesh” to see that which we can sense, hold, or feel; we use the “eye of the mind” for mental pictures (images that you see only in your mind); and we use the “eye of contemplation” when we ponder significance, moral meanings, and the relative “rightness” or “wrongness” of things, thoughts, or actions. 

​Modernity relies almost entirely on the “eye of the flesh,” which cannot see significance very well. Modernity mainly focuses on magnitude. This limited way of “seeing” works well for empirical science and industrial production but not at all for matters of “rightness” and “wrongness.”

  • Attention Restoration — With a pen and journal in hand, go to a natural area that is attractive, has a variety of plants and animals, and is tranquil enough to leave room for reflection. 
  • Attractive Natural Being — Once you are in a natural area (the wilder, the better), look around to find a natural being that is attractive to you and remain near that being until the end of the activity.​
  • Consent — Once you find an aspect of nature that is attractive to you continuously for at least ten seconds, think of your continued attraction as your consent to have a connection experience that will help you function optimally and establish in your mind a more helpful egalitarian relationship with the natural being.
  • Appreciation And Gratefulness — After gaining consent to enter into a connection experience with the natural being, appreciate it with your inhalations and give it gratitude with your exhalations.
  • Use Your Natural Senses — Beyond seeing, hearing, and the three other commonly recognized senses, use as many of the fifty-four Natural Senses as you see fit and document the ones that you use in your journal.
  • HumaNatureConnect Activity — Wander without an agenda in a natural place or do the prescribed HumaNatureConnect Activity.

Using The Appropriate Eye To See
​

For this activity, learn to use your triple vision. Pick something to view with your physical eyes (the eyes of the flesh). Determine what this thing is and, if possible, what it contains. Now use the eye of the mind to look within yourself to the seat of your reasoning to determine what, in your imagination, the thing you saw with your eye of the flesh could be. Witness the conversation that occurs in the mind about various options. Last, look that the thing as seen with the eye of the flesh (the thing outside, seen monologically––without a dialogue––in the Realm of Exteriority) and the thing as seen by the eye of the mind/reason (the thing inside, seen with a dialogue running in the mind, in the Realm of Interiority) and determine what this thing or mental image ought to be (in the Realm of the Spirit, taking into account More-Than-Individual, More-Than-Human, transpersonal considerations, inspired by The Absolute Spirit). In other words, determine with your eye of contemplation whether the thing and your mental image of it is ”right” or “wrong.” Try to see other objects with these three eyes.

Write down your impressions in your journal, clearly identifying your use of each of the three eyes--flesh (what is), mind (what could be), and contemplation (what ought to be).

Heartwood Path Axioms:
Key Assertions From Waypoint 1.89


1.89.1.
These distinctions––what is Good (morals and religion) from what is Beautiful (art) from what is True (science) are all fine and good until they go too far, until differentiation became disassociation.

1.89.2.
Differentiation is necessary for integration (a process described earlier in our discussion of transcendence) but disassociation can lead to the kind of repression that allowed the Church to prevent Galileo from discussing what he saw through his telescope.

1.89.3.
In both science and Modernism, moral considerations of better and worse are replaced with scientific considerations of bigger and smaller.

1.89.4.
We have, in effect, different eyes: we use “the eye of the flesh” to see that which we can sense, hold, or feel; we use the “eye of the mind” for mental pictures (images you see only in your mind); and we use the “eye of contemplation” when we ponder significance, moral meanings, and the relative “rightness” or “wrongness” of things, thoughts, or actions.

1.89.5.
Modernity relies almost entirely on the “eye of the flesh,” which cannot see significance very well. 

Dreaming Time Activity

For best results, write down your impressions of each night’s dreams in your journal, a vital part of your EartHeart Chronicles. Make your Dream Tending elaborate (so you get the most out of it) but do not make it cumbersome (as this could prevent you from continuing). Use as many of the following components as you see fit. Afterwards, where appropriate, share your Dream Tending with others.
​
Before Dreaming Protocol​​
  • Dream Prep — Prepare yourself for productive dreaming by decluttering your mind before sleeping. ​
  • Journal Ready — Prepare to record your dream impressions by placing your journal so that you can make initial recordings in it without changing your dreamtime sleeping position.
​​​​​​
Dreaming Protocol​
  • Remember This — Look to your dreams to tell you what you need to remember.​
  • Open To Dream — Be receptive, fluid, interactive, and grounded as you dream.
  • Wake-Back-To-Bed — Wake up after six hours of sleep, staying awake for twenty minutes, then go back to sleep.
  • Shape-shifters — Watch characters that change in your dream to see into the possibilities of your own transformation.
​​​​​​

Nocturnal Pilgrimage 1.89

As always, sleep and dream before continuing. Always ask permission from your Dream Character to gaze into its eyes or otherwise engage in a connection experience. When you feel comfortable with your Dream Character (or attracted to it), feel received through the portal of the eyes of the image. “This time, notice who or what greets you here. What do you become aware of? What feelings are evoked in you? Linger here for a while and notice everything that arises” (Aizenstat, 2009, p. 50).  

After Dreaming Protocol​
  • First Off — Recall your dream by staying in your sleeping position as you make your first attempt to remember your dream.
  • Book Of Dreams — Create an entry in your dream journal using the following linguistic tools: 1) talking in the present tense, 2) using verbs ending in “ing,” 3) removing articles such as “an” or “the,” and 4) using capital letters when naming the Dream Characters—which can be any notable people, places, or things that show up in your dream.
  • Title — Give your dream a memorable title. 
  • Date — Write down the date of your dream. 
  • Description — Write down a short, general summary of your dream.
  • Mood — Write down how the dream affected your mood upon waking.
  • Life Event Affecting Dream — Write down any events in your life that may have influenced your dream.
  • Dream Characters — List all remembered notable “actors” in your dream, whether they are people, places, or things.
  • Setting — Describe the location of your dream.
  • Statement Of Problem — Write down the complication, challenge, predicament, situation, obstacle, plight, quandary, or misadventure presented in your dream. 
  • Culmination Or Response To The Problem — Describe what you or another Dream Character did in your dream to respond to the problem presented in the dream.
  • Conclusion — Describe how your dream ended.
  • Beings Revealed — Write down how your dream seemed to be, if at all, linked in some way to your chosen attractive natural beings.
  • Freud’s Approach —  Associate the actions of your Dream Characters with latent, infantile, repressed, or sexual drives.
  • Jung’s Approach — Amplify your Dream Characters into Archetypes that are global in scale, symbolic, pervasive, positive, and helpful.
  • Hillman’s Approach — Recognize your Dream Characters as animated, living beings by honoring their presence, place, and body.
  • Right Information — Ask yourself the two main questions for Dream Tending: “Who is visiting now?” And “What is happening here?”
  • The Richest Treasures — Do not force narrow interpretations upon the natural being impressions that reappear in your dream by condensing them into limited signs when it is more fruitful to simply engage with them as living beings that reside in your dream, possibly with infinite symbolic value.
  • Privacy — Store your dream journal in a safe place and, where appropriate, share your dream with others.​​​
​​
Dream Council Protocol​
  • Create Dream Figures — Periodically create physical representations of select Dream Characters using natural materials, give them some form of identification, and gather them together.
