p. 16. Misc. 'that gun was an object only
pointing where any suitable unbalance force might direct it'.
"Unbalance force"?....any thoughts on P's use of such a phrase?
With his natural sense of logic, this would indicate a kind of homeostasis
in the social/historical world until used?
Why does this seem related to all P's later uses of the karma concept--or does it to you?
[robin, I mean YOU ESP.]
Also....we learn of Fina's 'quiet field of force' a bit later.....and 'field of vision' appears.
If you want to truly understand something, try to change it.
- Kurt Lewin
Field Theory - Kurt Lewin
Kurt Lewin (1890-1947) was a famous, charismatic psychologist who is now viewed as the father of social psychology. Born in Germany, Lewin emigrated to the USA as a result of World War II.
Lewin viewed the social environment as a dynamic field which impacted in an interactive way with human consciousness. Adjust elements of the social environment and particular types of psychological experience predictably ensue. In turn, the person's psychological state influences the social field or milieu.
Lewin was well known for his terms "life space" and "field theory".
