1. STRUCTURING MEANING MULTIDIMENSIONALLY IS COCREATING REALITY THROUGH THE LANGUAGING OF VALUING & IMAGING

Many universes exist for a person at any time. Reality is the harmony between these universes reached through a person’s choice. Personal reality includes all that a person is and will become. Constructing reality is giving meaning to unique experience. Structuring meaning is done through imaging, valuing and languaging.

Valuing 

• "Confirming-not confirming of cherished beliefs in light of a personal worldview
• An older woman begins to exercise and watch her diet as she is concerned about her health.

Languaging 

• It relates to how human beings symbolize and express their imaged realities and their value priorities.
• A man diagnosed with terminal cancer finds the words and the strength to talk to his family about it.

2. COCREATING RHYTHMICAL PATTERNS OF RELATING IS LIVING THE PARADOXICAL UNITY OF REVEALING-CONCEALING & ENABLING-LIMITING WHILE CONNECTING-SEPARATING.

 The human & the universe, including the people in one’s life are cocreating a rhythmical pattern of energies. As people grow they form and simultaneously break bonds with different elements. Other persons and element in the universe are moving towards & away from each other, revealing aspects of them while concealing others in their continuous interrelationship.
