triangulation
by joal
triangulation: a
term used in orienteering, research and relationships. it is a technique by which a navigator can pinpoint or define an unknown location by using two known locations. in research, triangulation refers to a process of validating the analysis by using two (or more) research methods to
“triangulate.”
in relationships…
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
triangulation
happens all of the time, when three people know each other. here’s how it works:
“given a group of
three, when one member is absent,
the remaining two will
talk about the one who is absent.”
the (above) quote shows another, very good reason to stay Present,
but that’s another story, in and of itself.
in triangulation,
when two people are talking/gossiping about a third, and interesting phenomenon
is taking place:
- if the self-esteem of the talkers is healthy/high, they will tend to focus on the positive aspects of the absent individual.
- if the self-esteem of the talkers is unhealthy/low, they will tend to focus on the negative aspects of the absent individual.
this phenomenon also occurs constantly in the media,
and media-ocre-ite (viewer) is
bombarded unendingly with the low self-esteem projections of (apparently) confident media
personalities who are (very likely) miser-able.
but this is the interesting part:
the talking/gossiping does not mean that all
talkers/gossipers are “bad” people. all it means is that they are actually saying
more about themselves than they are about the third party.
- judgment defines the judge
- Praise defines the appraiser
- criticism defines the critic
- Forgiveness defines the For-giver
- anger defines the angry
- Love defines the Lover
- shame and blame define the bestower
…but there’s even a deeeeeeeeeper
level, Here:
triangulation
doesn’t define the person, but rather, it defines how an individual is feeling at that particular moment. it
allows us to introspectively determine whether we are moment-arily centered in fear or in Love;
in ego or in Union ; in physical
or in Spirit.
once we Awaken into self-Consciousness, we can then decide how to proceed from
tHere.
-the Beginning.
