Ch. II - The functional cycle (implying occurring)
from Learning A Process Model · host Nicholas Montaño and Joey Massengale
In Chapter I, we explored different ways to think of the environment and of space. Now, in Chapter II, we'll start exploring new ways to think of time.Grab your books and join us for a reading and discussion that spans topics such as Focusing, the nature of reality (metaphysics), and how Gendlin's concepts keep pointing to the moon of our bodies' felt sense!And as always, feel free to drop us any APM questions on our form here: https://forms.gle/ydzoChYxv9AY76mf9.00:00 - Episode begins01:44 - Reading begins07:37 - Linear time bits, 3 bits of force11:41 - The whole string of en#2 is implied by...17:38 - Feeling the string of en#2's, and implicit time28:06 - "is" versus "implies"41:00 - Living cannot well be thought of as unit events only50:00 - Living context gives true knowledge and understanding58:47 - A certain very special relation...01:09:20 - "Being" vs. implying process01:15:47 - Generating time, habitat-time01:22:07 - To say that each bit of occurring is what the last bit implied...01:26:59 - "To the things themselves"01:33:48 - Implying is not the same as what will occur; not predetermined01:41:54 - All occurring also implies; implying part of every occurring01:44:36 - Implying is *not* an occurring that has not yet occurred; never just equal to occurring01:52:29 - So we see that implying is not just what will occur...01:59:34 - Whirling in deconstruction of occurring, implying, and en02:06:32 - The most significant part of this chapter for Joey02:08:06 - Something about how Focusing works (carrying forward)02:13:07 - Final thoughts on chapter, and what's to come02:20:33 - Going back to Footnote #102:29:01 - Thinking with patterns02:35:26 - Gendlin is pointing at the luminous moon within our body02:41:22 - Closed logical power, vs. opened experience: we can *always* re-open a theory02:45:15 - The old conceptual pattern that can now imply more02:50:42 - Let it be Open
