Levels of Separation
From our friend, Gerard Haven
These are five ways to work with a “negative” situation: to change the situation; to change the machine’s reaction to the situation; to separate from the situation; to separate from oneself; and to turn the focus of one’s attention towards something higher. They do not replace each other but rather build on one another. Without the lower efforts, the higher ones have no foundation and will collapse at the first new stimulus. Thus, work on all levels is necessary, and no efforts on any one of them can be “wrong” or wasted. And when a time comes that they all occur together, each in its proper place and rightful proportion, one cannot mistake the fact that one has truly touched the miraculous.
The Tower of Babel, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1563
