WHY YOU NEED TO READ

THE META-PLACE

You live in two worlds-the outside world of sights, sounds, sensations,
smells and tastes and the inside world of ideas, thoughts, memories,
imaginations, beliefs, etc.  The outside world is given; the inside world is
what you make of the outside world.  What you see, hear, and feel in the
outside world-you bring inside and create the world of mind.

It is your meta place, control central of your experiences that governs life
from the inside-out.  When you learn to master your meta place, to see it,
to enter it, to design it, to transform it, you then become the master of
your own fate, your experiences, and the quality of your life.

Your meta place is a rich, wondrous, and mysterious world.  It is the hidden
and invisible world that you live in and that you operate from.  Its
development is a gift to you-what you fill it with, however, is your gift to
yourself.  It is what makes you uniquely you.  What you do with your
capacities is your choice and responsibility.  And while you may have had
very limited choices as a child growing up, as an adult, you are now free to
make it as you will.  So as an adventure in being human, make it a great
one.

While some people put up a sign, "Closed for business," and try their best
to avoid, deny, and reject their meta place, but in the long run, it does
not work.  To be human is to have and live from the inner world of your mind
and memory.  The meta place describes the architecture of that place and
this book gives you the keys for how to manage your meta place with grace,
elegance, humor, and power. 

Looking Inside Your Mind

My invitation to you in this book is to go inside and discover the meta
place.  It is an invitation to look inside your mind.  If you ever say to
yourself, "Why did I say that or do that?" or "I know better than that,
what's wrong with me?" or "How can I release the full potentials of my mind
and intelligence?" then this journey is for you.

Now there's a strange thing about the meta place.  Each of us have his and
her own meta place content.  The inner world that each of us live in
differs.  When you understand your own meta place that will not give you a
specific template for understanding others.  It will only give you a basic
template for how meta places are organized.  And that will empower you to be
so much more effective in relating to others.

When you learn the meta place template, you will be able to listen in an
entirely new way to people, in a way that will enable you to figure out
what's inside a person's inner world.  You will discover that everyone has
the same set of structures-thinking patterns, representations (a cinema in
mind), editorial capabilities, beliefs, the meta-state funnel, background
knowledge, future anticipations, an ecology check, intentionality, etc.
That, in turn, will give you a tremendous edge in communicating,
influencing, and loving.

Now as if that wasn't complex enough, there's something else that makes the
inner world even more complex.  The information in your meta place, and
everyone else's, is constantly shifting and changing.  It does not stay the
same.  As you grow, your meta place grows.  It evolves to reflect your
increasing knowledge, understandings, and experiences.

Each person's meta place is an assumptive world-an inner world of meanings.
Out of your meta place comes your patterns which make up your "way of being
in the world."  There your intentional world is manifested most clearly and
from it, you become engaged in whatever you are doing.  That raises a
critical question, "What are you trying to do?"  "What are you striving to
do or to achieve in your life?"

Obviously you have a great many intrinsic human needs which drive you.  You
have survival needs, safety and security needs, social need for love  and
affection, and the need to be esteemed as socially worthy and able to gain
respect (Maslow's hierarchy of deficiency needs).  Yet as you experience
these deficiency needs (the D-needs), you do so by interpreting them via
your meta place.  This alludes to the first of the Being-needs (B-needs),
namely, knowledge, information, and meaning.

As you learn about the meta place and discover how to enter into it and even
better, how to change it for the better, you will find yourself on a journey
of self-discovery and self-empowerment.  Given the kind of consciousness
that you have (i.e., self-reflexive consciousness), you inevitably create,
and then live from, your meta place.  Your life is inescapably inside-out.
>From there, the quality of your life is a function of the quality of your
meta place.  Now on to the journey!
