Does having to transcend meanings, speculations and visions \u00e2\u20ac\u201c even those that are timed-out, go against viewing positions as act of positioning? Are the acts of positioning the same as time-out meaning?<\/p>\n
All of this can be seen as different approaches and the unfolding of the TSK vision from lower to higher knowledge.<\/p>\n
In the first level, the self establishes itself and the world that it knows by moving off center, beyond the point-instant of temporal knowledge. In one unified action it takes a position, posits a situation and imposes meaning\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/em> Form and feeling, specific characteristics and qualities, knowing and being, and the entire realm of human values and meanings all arise as a direct consequence of the self\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s positionings. LOK 147<\/p>\n A way of leading us deeper into the potential for the self to free itself of positions (approaching the second level vision) is the read-out and its principle. Read-out is the informing, communicative output by time of a particular focal setting on space, based on a certain sort of knowing being in force. This is the read-out principle: no situation relates to any other. No point even establishes that there will be a next point, or establishes itself as a point. Every message as to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhat is so\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is completely self contained. WIR 84\/301<\/p>\n Due to our forward and outward directedness and our need for continuity, successive read-outs seem closely related. But this seeming reality can be doubted.<\/p>\n The read-out can be viewed as another way to talk about the logos. Access to the logos is central in second level knowledge; at the same time, it opens the possibility of third level knowledge, which goes beyond cognition.<\/p>\n There <\/em>is <\/em>an integrity, certainty, and infinity that is found by <\/em>working through <\/em>the subtle \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcread-out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 level of second stage experience. This process is necessary, for it helps us to <\/em>transcend<\/em> meanings, speculations, and visions\u00e2\u20ac\u201deven those which are \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctimed out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. For, we can learn to see even apparently transcendent visions as being precisely seductive <\/em>messages <\/em>which present themselves as being \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctranscendent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbeyond meanings\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, or as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcinsights into relativity\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. TSK 204<\/em><\/p>\n Second stage visions have the potential to go on forever if \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctime\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and the self-challenging read-out law is not understood.<\/p>\n The ideas and pointings (meanings and timed-out meanings) say \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnothing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 because they lead us from a lower condition (the first level) to a higher one (the third level) that, in a certain respect, turns out to be \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthe same\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as our beginning. It is precisely due to the undermining of all meanings, of all \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbeing led\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, and <\/em>even of the undermining notion itself<\/em> (of truth being relative to our approach or read-out), that it is possible to bring the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dchigher\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclower into relation with one another in a way that is healthy. When all tendency to be manipulated by meanings and goals has died away, real balance can then shine through.
