Making meaning

Making meaning

4 May 2025†

ontological distinction

As a human, I am continually involved in Making meaning of what I observe in the world, and in myself. There are actually two factors happening. Interpretation of what I observe, and the meaning I assign to it.1

Observations are filtered by my current Way of Being1 which in turn drives focus on Concernful activity.
