The term, archesoma, refers to the underpinnings of all living creatures&#8217; sense of existence. It&#8217;s based on four universal functions:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\nATTENDING | REMEMBERING | INTENDING | IMAGINING<br \/>\nThe TetraSeed (four-part origin of experience)<\/div>\n<p>\nWe start with Memory, as I believe it to be the most accessible to you, friendly reader.<\/p>\n<h3>\nMEMORY<\/h3>\n<div>\nMemory is nothing but the persistence of things. No persistence, no memory. If you can find it, it&#8217;s persistent <u>somewhere<\/u>&nbsp;and in some way.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nMemory is the persisting of the impression of an experience after the passing of the experience.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThat definition applies even to computer memory or memory metal (used in eyeglasses): computer memory retains patterns of ones and zeroes; it is the pattern that it retains. Another medium than silicone wafer circuits could just as easily, and perhaps even better retain a pattern of ones and zeros. The medium doesn&#8217;t matter; it&#8217;s the pattern.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nMemory metal exhibits similar behavior of pattern-retention: it retains its form, returns to it even when distorted by force. It&#8217;s pattern, retained. The behavior of memory metal is a lot like the behavior of humans. Ever have anyone try to make you do what you don&#8217;t want to do? or argue you into another opinion of something? You tend to want to &#8220;keep your own form&#8221;, don&#8217;t you.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nDoes that bring it home, for you?<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nMemory is persistence of a pattern of some sort, even a persistence of a pattern of patterns, of movements, the corresponding sensations, patterns of function, patterns of behavior, patterns of relationship, of experience, of habits, of destiny.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThat leads us to the next Element.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>\n<b>IMAGINATION<\/b><\/h3>\n<div>\nImagination is open-ness to being strangely attracted in some direction. Another term for this is, eros.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Walt Disney, imagination has been brought before the public; he pointed to imagination as something alive. He highlighted it.<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nHe was a pioneer of the animation of the imagination in his cartoons and the feature movies released in his lifetime.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nHe set a direction.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nImagination is about direction. &#8220;Direction&#8221;, is an abstraction because, although the word, direction, usually awakens an intuitive impulse to move &#8220;outwardly&#8221; ( doesn&#8217;t it ), it has no content, in itself, does it? &#8220;Outwardly&#8221;, in this sense, means, &#8220;in some direction other than where you already are&#8221;, whether internal\/subjective or external\/objective.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nImagination is an opening outward because it&#8217;s always a movement from the known ( memory ) into the unknown. If it isn&#8217;t moving outwardly <i>from<\/i>&nbsp;memory, it IS <i>memory, <\/i>not imagination.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nImagination is a pregnant pause. Imagination is like a woman: she may be beckoned by our patient receptivity, primed by our attention, but never yields to our immediate insistence &#8212; and then comes unexpectedly. Imagination is like that. Imagination doesn&#8217;t come &#8220;<i>from&#8221;<\/i>&nbsp;us; it comes <i>&#8220;to&#8221;<\/i>&nbsp;us, to our openness. We may then&nbsp;<i>hold<\/i>&nbsp;it by making the imagining tangible by some creative action, which is to say, persistent. We make the imagining persist, and when we do that, it becomes, Memory.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nAnciently, this feminine personage of the imagination has been given the name, &#8220;<i>muse&#8221;<\/i>, an inspiring female who arouses great things of a human&#8217;s potential, which the person must then bring alive, make tangible, make persist, bring to life. <i>Muse<\/i>&nbsp;and <i>music<\/i>: where do they come from?<\/p>\n<p>Pregnant Mystery<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThus does <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>IMAGINATION <\/b><\/span>feed into <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>MEMORY<\/b><\/span>.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nFeel the light go on? That may have been your first feeling of &#8220;synergy&#8221;, occurring. That feeling of synergy is the appearance of a &#8220;strange attractor&#8221; in &#8220;psychic space&#8221;. And what it attracts is . . . . .<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>\nATTENTION<\/h3>\n<div>\nAttention <u>locates<\/u>&nbsp;strange attractors (which are all TetraSeeds of experience). Strange Attractors have a &#8220;smell&#8221;. Attention is like a nose. Yes, a nose, and it sniffs out Strange Attractors, the way a truffle pig sniffs out truffles.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nFollow your nose. Follow your nose. You do. You do. Don&#8217;t you?<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nIn fact you can&#8217;t help but follow your nose.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nEven if you follow your ear, you end up pointing your nose the same direction and your nose <i>leads the way<\/i>. And if you follow your nose, you <i>really<\/i>&nbsp;follow your nose.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThings that go in your nose really get attention. Don&#8217;t they? Chanel #5, the smell of pork barbeque? &nbsp;a gnat? We&#8217;ll let that be that.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nAttention is a pointer. Attention locates. Always, attention locates.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nWhat does attention locate? anything with a location, in terms of any of the senses.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nAttention is a locator-pointer.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nHowever, attention may be either waveringly or steadily <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8220;ON-OBJECT&#8221;<\/span>, <br \/>\nattention may be narrow and intense&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\nor open and lightweight<\/div>\n<div>\nor diffused<br \/>\nor dissolved<\/div>\n<div>\nor highly coherent (attention steadily cohering <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>ON-OBJECT<\/b><\/span>)<br \/>\nor scattered.<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;ADD&#8221; or &#8220;ADHD&#8221; attention is scattered.<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>INTENSITY <\/b><\/span>of <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>ATTENTION<\/b> <\/span>is related to <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>INTENSITY<\/b> <\/span>of <span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><b>INTENTION.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThe primal intention is, <i>activity <\/i>(experienced as<i> existence).<\/i><\/div>\n<div>\nWhat we call, &#8220;being&#8221; is really, &#8220;becoming&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div>\nNo activity, no existence.
