 Sixsome

Sixsome

The sixsome is the division of everything into six perspectives. This structure defines issues of morality. It is given by six of the OperatingPrinciples:

  • 1. Cling to what you have
  • 2. Get more than what you need
  • 3.Avoid extremes
  • 4.Choose the good over the bad
  • 5. Choose the better over the worse
  • 6. Strive for the best.

The sixsome has two representations, emotion and cognition. In terms of emotion, the operating principles are understood as the effect that horizon points have upon us when we focus on them, and thus slack is decreasing. They are three pairs of emotional dispositions:

  • 1. beauty/disgust
  • 2. love/hate
  • 3. intimacy/fear

and three virtues:

  • 4. courage
  • 5. hope
  • 6. honesty

In terms of cognition, the operating principles are understood as our efforts to focus ourselves upon horizon points, and thus slack is increasing. They are three internal perspectives:

  • 1. obeying
  • 2. believing
  • 3. caring

and three external perspectives:

  • 4. justice
  • 5. loyalty
  • 6. duty

These involve absolute, relative, and ultimate judgements. Our mind moves from absolute to relative. In emotion, our mind moves from recurrent activity (conflicts) to evoked structure (virtues), and this may be thought of as intensification. In cognition, our mind moves from expressed structure (external perspectives) to recurrent activity (internal perspectives), and this may be thought of as internalization. Perhaps these movements may also be thought of as taking us between particular (self-centered, internal, closed) and general (multi-centered, external, open) morality. Emotion takes us from particular to general, and cognition takes us from general to particular. [4/01, Andrius Kulikauskas]

Everything wishes for everything

Note that the sixsome relates the commitments and the choices and in the case when they are completely separate. This is what relates the dilemmas and the primary structrures which respond to them.

Idea

  • In A is I: Obeying is the unity of taking a stand and following through.
  • I is A: Believing is the unity of reflecting and taking a stand.
  • I is felt by A: Caring is the unity of following through and reflecting.

  • A is in I: Willing is the distinction of taking a stand and following through.
  • A is not I: Choosing is the distinction of reflecting and taking a stand.
  • A feels I: Empathizing is the distinction of following through and reflecting.

Question

What is the relation between the sixsome and the ExpressionsOfTheWill: engaging, waiting, believing, relying, loving, suffering?

Thoughts from prayer

2005.05.10 A: Kaip kitas iškyla iš šešerybės? D: Šešerybe visiškai išsiskiria sandara ir veikla, tad galima apkeisti jų tvarką ir iškyla kitas.

2005.04.15 A: Kaip man suvokti šešerybę? D: Yra Dievas ir žmogus. Ir kuris kurį myli? A: Dievas myli žmogų. D: Taip. O toliau, septynerybėje žmogus myli, o aštuonerybėje būtent Dievą myli.
