What Is Context? ⚠️

@James123 We know 

There is the addition you (so to speak) make, to enhance and elevate. To my (so to speak) perception.

I think this is exactly what telepathy is, but also empathy, or generally feeling, being the thing that is being communicated. When I feel what you're feeling, it's not a linguistic interpretation, it's a synchronization, a tapping into our shared being. And if you're sensitive, or your self is very expanded, you can't help but take it all in, because that is what is; it is your experience.

If I were to use some Sheldrakian terminology: when the field of your mind becomes more receptive or it stretches out far enough, more things become part of that field, not necessarily just thoughts, but often experiences, because all experiences fundamentally take place in the same field.

Could that happen without the context of language?

I don't think there would be the possibility or notion of "an experience being communicated." Why would it?

Again, language isn't the symbols or concepts, in my view. And I'd say communication is a subset or function of language.

I'm derailing the topic.

Language - If I am understanding the paragraph you are referring to?

I think it was the part on defining context through telepathy, or some such. Frankly, I have no idea about either. I'm confused. 🤔

I think so... But my evil intention there was to point out where James was operating from ego - injecting his need to teach where it may not have been needed, required - or relevant

The background that shapes the foreground

Where foreground is what we are consciously attending to. And background are the conditions that make the foreground possible to appear as it does. Culture, memory, assumptions, language, prior context, bodily state, time/space.

I think the background is always going to be some sort of network of relationships that inject meaning into the foreground. And without the background, the foreground would be unrecognized noise. Content and field.

This is holographic, no? Context has context. Foreground is just 'noticed background' - background is just 'unnoticed foreground'

[UnbornTao]

"Ground" (background, foreground) is synonymous with - or points to - space, even if the space of context doesn't appear to be physical or objective. Within that space, the possibility for something to show up is created. The invention of language as a context instantly brought with it the possibility of Spanish, German, allegory, writing, misunderstanding, symbolism, etymology, rhetoric, influence, culture, manipulation, thinking, and so on.

Is context conceptual in nature? 

It may sound abstract, but try to notice context in your daily life, and how it influences your thinking, feeling, and perspective. Your self is a context. It is the "space" where your experience is made sense of. 

Shift into a context of living life from self-expansion. This is a beneficial shift, one that naturally focuses the mind on this topic.
