Our emotional tone impacts the way we interpret information, especially if layered & complex. Let's consider ways to inspect and correct our tone.
Someone who is "stuck" may have an idea of what some certain words may mean and is stubbornly seeking proof of it.
In the same way, a person may struggle to identify what are the significant details of a life situation he's in, because he doesn't have a full view of the total context.
The Bible is about the Universal context or perspective.
We're able to attend to both large matters and small, and we can work on small things while maintaining perspective, but sometimes, we sink down into "small thinking."
What if there were a scale for mapping thoughts by contents or patterns (or "magnitudes"), to remind us of what all we have available to work with, in the big picture?
This is the sort of thing which a healthy person naturally gives rise to, but for me in my life, I found it necessary to go through the exercise of finding out a clear way.
There is a tonal-emotional map or path which is Basic, and the Ancients knew about it. It's found latent in the story of Revelation, and in John, and in the whole Bible.
All emotional states, and attitudes, fall somewhere on the scale. (If we can identify where we are, we can get oriented to clear up anything we're currently stuck on.)
The end of the scale is Clarity (so, it's a path of "Clearing"). At higher clarity, one is able to see, hear, or otherwise perceive, rarer information in the structure of space,
beyond the grosser streams of information pertaining to one’s own mind or body or mind-body identity. And, to my belief, that is the basic thing the Prophets did:
freezoneearth.org/pub/Self Clearing 2004.PDF (Self Clearing, Ken Ogger 2004)
books.google.com/books?id=2egMR9TXk0MC (Remote Viewing, David Morehouse 2008)
One is able to view remote places & times and describe the surprising images one sees there.
Remote viewing is fundamental to nature, because we live in a uniform and singular physical reality.
What did the prophets see as they were shown the last days, where images are given life on strange screens?
How might they attempt to describe the structures they saw? or make sense of their names?
Tone Map
Seeing chapter-for-chapter parallels between the Lotus Sutra, Revelation, and John (especially Ch.16), is how I firmed up my notions about and began developing this Tone Map.
On the Y-axis, we make analogy of emotional tone to physical scale (from broad & equanimous, to small & trapped), with normal human scale at the halfway, between upper & lower.
The X-axis shows aspect of change in tone (leftward is "subject to getting mixed up or tied up", and rightward is actualized control over destiny: "freedom from enturbulating forces").
There are 5 major divisions like "quadrants," corresponding to the Big Five personality traits (C,N,A,O,E), and these also set up a dimensional analysis (1-D "who" through 5-D "how").
Within each division, 5 steps reflect combinations of the 3 defiling emotions (or poisons, or unclean spirits): Anger which pushes, lust which pulls, and indifference which enables both.
I represent that the 10 Commandments are discrete choices which are presented to us at each step of the scale, for changing our aspect or trajectory to either the right or the left.
The FALLING line ("Incident") follows the 12-Linked Chain of Causation, which can be broken and "Rolled back" at any time, by switching from Evaluator role into the Observer role.
The chain is: (0,1) Ignorance leads to volition [karmic action], to (2) consciousness [discerning], to (3) name & form [objects of discernment], to (4) developing of sense faculties,
which leads to (5) contact, to (6) sensation, to (7) desires, to (8) attachment, to (9) existence of forms [and pursuit thereof], to (10,11) cyclical birth & aging & death [of mind].
Also on this map, not in bold print, are references to: Logical Fallacies and Cognitive distortions; types of anger, and deficient communication habits;
the Tone Scale from Scientology (values -40 through +8 and beyond), and also topics in Ogger's Free-Zone Scientology handbook (chapters 1,2 through 52,53).

While listening to albums by Isoya YUKI, I understood the voice I wanted to pursue. I value the creative will who is equip herself to cut through illusion and free the will, and who can teach others how to do so. I want to be involved in discovering & teaching how to teach this.
She is one who sees herself as a character of some particular stories which have engrossed her since childhood (stories not of her making, but authored by the world/"mother").
That is the context she places herself into, and I explore how she might impeccably work in it, so as to progress toward reworking the original story for herself, to transcend it.
She moves her viewpoint from being a single character, to multiple characters, to a narrator and a narration team, finally overcoming & becoming the author in her own right.
