    Dear Peter,

    >> So the "light blue" is meant to express the essential meaning of
    Aleph. Yet "light blue" is different for each person, despite the
    fact that the essential meaning of Aleph should be the same. Which
    doesn't make much sense to me, or am I trying to rationalize an
    essentially intuitive process overly much? <<

    The specific shade of 'light blue' that clearly and without a doubt
    expresses the essential meaning of Aleph will be the same for every
    person. But each person will *start* from their own version of 'light
    blue' until they find The One Shade of 'light blue' that expresses the
    essential meaning of Aleph. The attribution of 'light blue' therefore,
    merely directs the person where to start and the person must find The
    One Shade on their own.

    >> Let's see if I can put this little technique into my own words. One
    starts to look for the essential meaning of things where essental
    meaning is clearly expressed. Then move onto other things in which
    essental meaning is less clearly expressed.
    So, how do you know that you've hit upon the essential meaning of a
    thing? I mean, if I looked at that figure of Quasi Moto I might get
    the feeling of hurt and lonliness whereas, as you stated, one could
    also interpret it as hurt innocence. Is this direct perception of
    essential meaning? Or is it rather the perception of essential
    meaning through the filter of one's own psyche? <<

    Let me quote something from that post:

    "Each one of these figures communicated something about itself
    *through* the details of its particular *form*. This 'something' is its
    essential meaning. The *voice*, so to speak, of that essential meaning
    is the form's personality -- i.e., its *emotional tone*, to use your own
    term.
    "The personality of each one of these figures is VERY easy to
    perceive, and because it "speaks" so loudly, it's also fairly simple to
    *directly* perceive the underlying essential meaning that their
    personality communicates. "

    So, for Quasimodo, my description of "hurt innocence" was a description
    of its *personality* -- the "voice", so to speak, of its essential
    meaning. A direct perception of the essential meaning occurs when you
    look beneath the personality-voice. As I've said before, essential
    meaning itself cannot be put into words. Words *interpret* essential
    meaning -- they are not a *direct* perception.

    >> For example, when I look for the direct perception of a broom, I get
    the feeling of "sweeping dust and debris" as it's essential meaning. Yet
    at the same time I know that that broom can be used for a multitude of
    other uses that this broom could be used for. The
    statement of essential meaning of "sweeping dust and debris" would just
    appear to be the most common use for a broom, not exactly the best
    expression of essential meaning... <<

    The direct perception of a thing's essential meaning occurs *before* you
    start putting your perception into words and *before* your mind begins
    its process of associating past experiences with your perception. I
    suggest that you work further at letting go of the rational intellect.
    When your mind goes into analysis mode, force it to stop and, instead of
    analyzing, just *perceive*.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
