But I'm skeptical of people who say they can "shift" or "delete" beliefs. That's very tough, but your method may work.Jeff Meyerhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495041879727609927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056781.post-58719070514830409532011-04-16T09:39:12.283-07:002011-04-16T09:39:12.283-07:00muzuzuzus,
You raise an interesting, and I think ...muzuzuzus,<br /><br />You raise an interesting, and I think neglected issue in philosophy. Philosophers typically focus on language, the words that are said: propositions, sentences, grammar. But meaning doesn't only reside in the words themselves and, further, doesn't only reside in the context. You point out that meaning is also in the sound. The sound or intonation can be part of the context, but it can hold the key or truth or deeper meaning to the spoken expression. Maybe that's been examined in some microsociology where they analyze conversations.Jeff Meyerhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495041879727609927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056781.post-25086950822296950512011-03-24T22:18:39.054-07:002011-03-24T22:18:39.054-07:00I've studied beliefs and belief structures not...I've studied beliefs and belief structures not from the intellectual and philosophical frame, which you have mastered (just read Ch. 9 of your critique on Wilber, and I understood a good deal of it), but from the more practical self-developmental model of actually shifting my beliefs, deleting beliefs that no longer serve me, and studying how they create the "reality" of our experience. We are aligned in our understanding of how beliefs affect even simple conversations, and how our core psychology affects our view of "truth" and "reality." I offer a free eBook on my site, www.TransformYourBeliefs.com. If you get the chance to look it over, I would enjoy having a conversation with you about these topics. - Lion Goodman (San Rafael, CA)Lion Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929932552456815973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056781.post-90522834549443917242011-02-14T09:19:26.570-08:002011-02-14T09:19:26.570-08:00Feminists most certainly would be the right people...Feminists most certainly would be the right people to ask about this, because women would have had far more experience of insenstivity towards their feelings by males who are brought up to suppress emotions, and sensitivities.<br />I have learned that evwen tone of voice is important to consider. For example you may say something that is supposed to be caring but the tone is not. The less senstivie person has no empathy that the other, be it human or animal will be aware of this. In fact the dier may not. yet tone is apparently even more important than what is said. I learnt this lesson late in life, but I try to apply it now and I can say I have seen good results from it.muzuzuzushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662316983453845369noreply@blogger.com
