STAGE 2 - LECTURE
Entry into Stage 2 of CRV training can be represented
as
"widening of the psychic aperture", or allowing the
viewer to gain access to more "channels". What actually
takes place is a greater "sensory contact" with the site
the viewer is asked to perceive: colors, texture, sounds ,
temperatures,
smells and tastes and dimension.
The most critical of these sensory perceptions is
dimension
..... .....
in fact dimension could be labeled the "goal"
of Stage 2. Dimension must always be the last perception in
Stage 2. There are numerous aspects to dimension, they are:
vertical, horizontal, angles, diagonals, mass and size.
Four of the latter must be identified (in relation to the
site) before the viewer may move on to Stage 3.
The "Pace" at which the viewer moves through the
structure is more critical as the viewer moves into higher
sages of CRV. The viewer will be required to move more
smoothly than before -- and will be prompted by the monitor
as required.
There may be times when the viewer cannot perceive a
certain aspect of the site e.g., color or texture -- if
this is habitual or a problem for the viewer, the monitor
will ensure that the viewer is given sites which are rich
in color and textures. This type of reinforcement training
will permit the viewer to develop these senses.
"Clusters" refers to groups of Stage 2 perceptions
either relating to the site in general or to specific
gestalt e.g., "blue, white" are basic words clustered to
indicate perceptions on the gestalt of the sky - another
example would be " blue, white, brown, green" which are
basic woirds clustered to indicate perceptions of the
entire site, such as; sky and land.
"Basic Words" refers to the use of simple words to
describe the sensory perceptions present at the site.
The
viewer is asked to refrain from using high level word
concepts, e.g., instead of saying "sweathouse" it should be
described as "hot, wet, steamy" etc.
