Filters.
We see the world through filters....Rory,<br /><br />Filters.<br /><br />We see the world through filters. Labels are just a manifestation of our filters. We see the world then we label it.<br /><br />An interesting concept that rhymes with your Plastic Mind Drills is "Six Thinking Hats" by Edward de Bono.<br /><br />Also fits in with the Triune Brain model.<br /><br />And is what we base our scripts in.<br /><br />Before you can work with, fix, manipulate or control yourself or your environment (agency) you have to identify the problem or what you are working with, and with that comes labels. A lot of what causes us to fail is a failure in perception. It's not the labels themselves that are a problem, but how we choose them & what do they mean to us.<br /><br />Not only do we have filters that cloud how we see the world, but layers too.<br /><br />So, not only should we ask, are we using correct labels, but it might be informative to ask, why did we choose those labels in the first place.<br /><br />If we can understand how and why we view the world the way do, this will lead us to a better understand or clearer perception to base our future acts of agency.<br /><br />GIGO<br /><br />After all that we need to realize our perceptions is our perceptions and no others. No one see the world or has experienced the world in the same way.<br /><br />In stead of meeting the world and people as is we try to force the world to meet our expectations and labels.Josh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-49994804811497436102013-12-17T10:38:04.125-08:002013-12-17T10:38:04.125-08:00When I was twelve, I spent a week at summer camp r...When I was twelve, I spent a week at summer camp run by the Audubon Society. One of the counselors, Julie, told me something that stuck with me, well, forever.<br /><br />"Necessity is not the mother of invention. Necessity is the mother of improvisation. When in doubt, improvise."<br /><br />This post reminded me of that.

And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.” R.D.

I've never played that game before!"<br /><br />But then I realized, around here we play it all the time ... backwards.<br /><br />"Hey you guys, I can't find the screwdriver. Help find me something we could use instead!" <br /><br />"No problem. You can use the edge of this spoon for that, after I'm done using it as a hammer."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-4161461349405729852013-12-13T23:27:47.508-08:002013-12-13T23:27:47.508-08:00This good post reminded me of one of the first pho...This good post reminded me of one of the first photography books I read as a child, Freeman Patterson's Photography and the Art of Seeing.

The drill was to come up with twenty uses for a spoon that had nothing to do with scooping or eating. It was hard at first. I think it took most of the hour for most of us to make or lists. Now I sometimes pick random items and it's rare for it to take more than five minutes to come up with twenty things."<br /><br />Rory, youve put me on to a new habit!Lloydnoreply@blogger.com
