  1. @Leo Gura By declaring that man is responsible and must actualize the potential meaning of his life, I wish to stress that the true meaning of life is to be discovered in the world rather than within man or his own psyche, as though it were a closed system. I have termed this constitutive characteristic "the self transcendence of human existence." It denotes the fact that being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself--be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself--by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love--the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself. What is called self-actualization is not an attainable aim at all, for the simple reason that the more one would strive for it, the more one would miss it. in other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side effect of self transcendence. -Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning This line of thought made me think of Dewey's transactional approach or Buber's I and Thou concept. Both non-dual in premise. Possibly helpful in moving past the individuality bias of yellow toward a process bias of turquoise. Yellow realizes its about process but still holds onto a sense of being the one pulling the strings while turquoise realizes the process itself always holds it's own strings; the medium (Heidegger: temporality) is the massage. The way out is always through.
