5.1.3. Focus and observation
With THE FIRST SENSATION, experience becomes possible. But experience alone is not enough for understanding to arise. There must also be established a direction towards that which is experienced, and a perspective that makes reading of the experience possible.
This section describes how FOCUS arises as the first orientation within experience, how FOCUS then divides between that which is sensed and that which observes the sensation, and how this splitting establishes the first OBSERVATION. It is here that the primary polarity between B and E is set in motion and begins to function as an active process.
FOCUS, THE SPLITTING OF FOCUS and OBSERVATION thus constitute the operative core of the Startup Sequence. It is through these mechanisms that experience is for the first time organised, examined and read. This also establishes the fundamental architecture that will later develop into understanding, KNOWING, the Experience Circle and manifest reality.
