Time will Reveal it...

Time gives you a chance to get an orientation about matters in space, and the way the energies are moving them. You are thus challenged to understand the options you have in time; to find what you can move, and what you need to consider because you cannot move it, such as the laws of nature and life. Remember, what you want to move according to your image/prejudice, you cannot understand! And that can end tragically, say if your own substance or that of anybody else is involved.

Since this site was written in the early nineties. It has since been widely applied under Applied Personal Science APS® in terms of Meaning-Giving Informatics. In that time a whole new space has been opened for this first, truly personally relevant science. So before I go into scientific mapping I want to give you an overview about this space in terms of the orientation points used as reference in time. What this means to me became apparent on the space ride in the Disney Center in Florida: It was as wild as you can get, and as dark as outer space. I survived it consciously by switching from one dim light to the next - my sole orientation points. My being, without much conscious interference other than the will to stay on top, created lifefulfillment in between in a way that can be adequately mapped by an open-ended generative principle. At the end of the ride I felt just fulfilled with awareness and vitality, renewed for real life and the certainty: Their is a life to be fulfilled before death!

The fact is, if you achieve such goals without APS®, disliking orientation points, you are likely to become a danger to the environment, society and yourself - history is full of sad examples stumbling over the stumbling blocks to be reframed. So please do not attempt to pigeonhole APS® before you have applied it in your life! It is tough, I admit, to study this work; it might seem emotionally wrenching, unapologetically difficult if you insist that it fits into your prejudice! In fact there is no belief worth mentioning without allowing this kind of experience. Without believing in its underlying substantiality, there cannot be any understanding of it! And where there is no understanding, there is no love that leads to fulfillment.  Pretending believers, usually avoid each other's essence for the sake of the "belief" and the flock it moulds together, e.g. as an ideology obsessed mass! 20th Century management was all about operational efficiency. Henry Ford was its early hero. The conventional man-age-ment's mistrust demoralizes, fear of losing the job, paralyses. With all its now global shortcomings, the technological advances and social changes, we need to adopt a new approach. Vassals and conscript may work hard, but are not motivated to do it meaningfully, e.g. the very basis of management needs to be redesigned and our social fabric reframed around a truly desirable purpose! Thus we need managers of meaning, and of reframing organizations with it, for that constitution designers, and social architects. They in turn need adequate models of the substantialities of the people involved, just as an architect need an engineer, and the latter, adequate basics such as in technology, physics. Simply asking for familiarity is the problem it pretends to solve; lacking innovation before the point of NO return....
