I THINK IN VERBS
One of the goals I set for myself some years ago was to think in verbs. The idea came from understanding the design of the Meta-Model. After all, every Meta-Model question is designed to achieve clarity by getting ourselves and others to describe our experiences specifically. The questions ask that you fill in the details that you have deleted, to specify the generalizations, and to transform the distortions and recover the original coding.
Especially important in the Meta-Model is to transform every nominalization to recover the original noun. Yet because there are no true ‘things’ in the dynamic process world that we live in— even in the smallest particles of all (the atom and its hundreds of parts), it is all energy in motion. And if all is ultimately energy-in-motion, that is, change and flux, then there are no ‘things,’ and nothing is the same, even with itself since it is change every moment. The reason we don’t notice is because the change is so sub-microscope and occurs over a very long time.
