Gavin, I would highly recommend that you explore this perspective. It
opens up an entirely new channel of interaction with your environment.
I'd call it the Einstein Channel.

What a coincidence! I came to the same conclusion about a year ago,
and it was at that point that my understanding of reality changed
exponentially. You see, if you see reality as consisting of nothing but
energy bouncing off of mirrors, then you realize that as a composite
mirror yourself, you actually have a choice as to which signals in your
environment that you wish to reflect.
I never thought of it this way, this is a very interesting point.
In other words, it's that initial
intensity (Level 1) that is most important. The remaining HPCT levels
are just amplifications of that incoming signal.
Okay haven't thought about this. Will give it some think time.
The realization of this subtle mirroring effect was an empowering
moment to say the least. I have changed my attitude significantly since
then because I realize that if I want my environment to reflect the
desired intensity of experiences, then I must continuously, through
intentional and unintentional communication, exhibit the highest
perceptual levels possible at every opportunity.
Yip a lot of people could do with this realisation Chad. And a few on
this
list if they want authentic trusting communication, which is so lacking.
I
think that much of the dysfunctional responses going on is directly
related
to the reason that PCT has not gained much ground as it should have.
I have been on about 5 lists in Systems Thinking, Complexity, Chaos and
Cybernetic Lists. There is not a good relationship with PCT at all. They
avoid it like the plague. They really don't respect its contents but
mainly
some of the proponents.
There is it seeems a deep mistrust.
There is a key PCV that is being used by some listers to attempt to
control
other people's perceptions, once one sees the trick its over it doesn't
work
anymore.
BTW, the thinking device that I use looks very familiar to the PCT
control system except that mine is grounded on activity theory.
I don't know about activity theory.
Kind regards
Gavin

I have just had an off list email from a very intelligent person
stating is
the word control actually the appropriate word for PCT. I would not
have
been so brave to mention this but he's correct from a semantical point
of
view. If I replace the word control with mirror then it actually makes
no
difference.
Control has so many different meanings.
So then
If you cut out all the fluff about PCT in a nutshell, in that diagram
below
the HPCT is an assumption of Reality and the PCVn to θ is its
selection
mirror. (Where n=1 and θ= infinity)
Does this change the nature of PCT and my answer is no it doesn't.
Brave concept. But it's a very clever observation, it's not mine.
Perceptual Mirror Theory.

Gavin
