Foundations

The arrow of time is defined by our calendars and clocks. We use this measured aspect of time in many ways, but primarily for the social coordination of action. Clock time tells us when things happened and when we can expect them to happen. This is so transparent to our way of life that we […]

We do not step into the future in a vacuum. Through our life, we develop certain important concerns that we take into the future with us. These concerns form the basis of our interpretations about what is important and the meaning of situations ultimately leading to our actions. Our interpretations of the world include interpretations

For each of us, our Circle of Concern is generally quite extensive. There have been many attempts to provide a basis for those concerns and these have been used to help people understand what is important to them in life.

In this approach, we consider the human condition as a coherence of three domains – physical being (body), emotional being (moods and emotions)

We define our life on a timeline of past, present and future, yet we experience time as a self-constructed and constantly changing present moment that is always focused on the immediate future.
