The Elements of a Cohesive Life View

(Page Updated 1/11/24)

Humanity's shared purpose, to be practical, is the practice of lifespan performance and perceptual control to monitor one's livelihood developmental transition from ignoring worlds to working upon worlds. (BC Vann)

Coaching Evolution Cohesive Life View

When talking about a cohesive life view, within the coaching evolution context, we find that with knowledge, individually speaking, coaching evolution begins with each of us, our evolution of self-consciousness through livelihood development (self-research for self-development). Also, with knowledge, humanly speaking, coaching evolution is shared, as in cooperatively developed through five stages: Barbarism (primitive), civilization, culture (developed), humanity, and ideality (enlightened).

The practice of lifespan performance and perceptual control activates coaching evolution through self-consciousness centered in ever-higher worlds. Like inhales and exhales, the natural cycling between the phases of livelihood development and lifespan performance enables self-consciousness evolution. The biological mechanism of perceptual control facilitates this flowing, bidirectional internal knowledge-understanding dialogue.

1. Livelihood Development: The ascending livelihood development phase progresses through deeper dimensions of reality, reaching higher perceptual capability by working upon the four worlds of humanity, from visible-physical to mental-causal. This self-research for self-development expands one’s knowledge of consciousness at physical, emotional, and mental levels. We navigate and engage in research that contributes knowledge of existence, supplying goals and intentions to guide the next phase, lifespan performance activation.
2. Lifespan Performance: The lifespan performance phase is a descending movement of performance activation that applies expanded knowledge acquired from the livelihood development phase to demonstrate value-added capability across situational contexts, integrate new realizations creatively into societal domains, and inspire technological, artistic, and scientific innovation. More importantly, continually monitor the livelihood development phase to identify new reference goals or intentions to activate self-consciousness centered in humanity's four progressively higher worlds, from visible-physical to mental-causal.

Now, let's look further into developing a cohesive life view that will recognize and orient our collective and natural responsibility to address the coaching evolution movement.

The Elements That Divide Also Unite

While the dynamic cyclical ascending-descending phases maintain movement, four ecological perspectives provide structure for living essentially a historical, autobiographical life narrated by performance activations; knowledge becomes understanding.

As an ecosystem, the life view elements in relation shape one another in complex ways across human being lifespans. We optimize personal growth and contribution to collective well-being by cultivating a holistic awareness of this ecosystem.

1. Individual: Subjective, consciousness evolves through ascending capabilities to reach self-consciousness at the mental-causal world level. Subjectivity is our innermost perspective that tirelessly approves frames of reference to dissolve restrictive assumptions over levels of development. Our thoughts, emotions, and personal narratives guide our life path. Self-understanding allows us to set and align goals and make choices to actualize lifespan performance potential. Yet, society also molds an identity via cultural values and norms. While we internalize communal values, individual actions also gradually shift social attitudes. Navigating this relationship can facilitate or retard self-development.
2. Society: Intersubjective, shared, cultural systems continuously recalibrate collective knowledge by integrating expanded considerations into ethical and rational governing principles, technologies, sciences, and arts, the fruits of our external world. Shared protocols, incentives, and accountability structures enable coordinated performance. Yet excessive rigidity dampens creativity. Societies thrive when harnessing individual talents towards common aims. Belief systems breed self-fulfilling prophecies, underscoring the need for wisdom. Exposure to diverse worldviews opens minds to re-examine assumptions.
3. Environment: Objective, physical, organic reality grounds perceptive capability in lawful relationships between laws of nature (external objective environment) and the laws of life (internal subjective environment) of organisms, resources, and natural forces; the contextual soil from which human systems emerge. Nature's laws remain binding, making ecological balance imperative. Yet social progress has improved human lives in indispensable ways. Seeking unity between human self-respect and environmental sustainability is vital. Humanity's self-consciousness evolution and the will to unity can thoughtfully adopt precautionary policies, renewable technology, and nature-aligned design.
4. Performance: Interobjective, demonstrating talent and applied ingenuity depends on the availability and access to developmental resources while navigating changeable conditions and situational contexts of our interface between self-intended and external realities. Our skills and psychology interact with social and physical contexts to shape outcomes. Flow states emerge when highly developed skills align with high situational challenges. Designed environments that provide appropriate scaffolding can facilitate the coaching evolution. Workplace cultures advancing purpose, responsibility, well-being, and self-consciousness to the mental-causal level will encourage cohesive societal achievements.

Lifespan Performance Life View

During the lifespan performance activation phase, individuals work on the essential qualities required to reach mental-causal self-consciousness, as learned during the livelihood development phase, self-research for self-development.

As long as we understand that the three aspects of existence: matter, consciousness, and motion/energy are foundational, worldview is unchanging. However, life views are ever-evolving, from continuously adjusting assumptions and intentions as we relate, perceive, learn, and experience life's complexities.

Since a life view operates as a personal roadmap guiding decisions and relationships, we want to investigate inner and outer worlds more deeply through self-questioning; fresh iterations of one's perspective often become necessary. With refined abilities come life view upgrades based on the newly actualized potential.

The lifespan performance activation phase of individual development, the practice of enhancing consciousness through application, is self-initiated yet interactional, a purposeful performance aligned with society's needs and environmental realities, where self-knowing becomes self-understanding. An optimized life view emerges from responsibility and compassion, moving the coaching evolution further.

Exploratory Questions for Continual Reorientation

From a hybrid coach-play perspective and self-initiation of self-authorization, individuals manage the transition from ignoring worlds to working upon worlds. This livelihood developmental process is monitored by the psychology of lifespan performance and perceptual control utilizing the purposeful PIE workout of the life view questions that arise from the daily practice of lifespan performance. These questions test the ongoing evolutionary energetic thrust for optimizing cosmic will to unity, which for human beings at the first level of development (most of us) would be referred to as the initiation of the personal-societal-self developmental procedure to eliminate the blockage of mental-causal world self-consciousness.

Questions of subjectivity:

• How does agency arise across the four steps to performance authorization? Pay attention to the locality of intention and motivation as it changes across successive perceptual levels.
• Self-control or assisted-control? Perceptual Control Theory proves behavior manifests from controlled perceptions rather than proposed preferred behaviors. This paradigm shift empowers self-initiated self-authorization. We orient ourselves by controlling intended perceptions by acting on the environment, not chasing behavioral change.

Questions of intersubjectivity:

• What game are we playing? Here, we question whether prevailing rules and conditions promote cooperative growth toward collective aims or impose unnecessary constraints on capability that demand resolution.
• What is your game? Whether you relate through a finite game perspective of achieving defined wins or by sustaining life's infinite game of continued participation, your potential to redirect motivation fundamentally works beyond temporal victories. The infinite invites eternal discovery through unconditional contribution.

Questions of objectivity:

• Through what lenses are we perceiving? The question concerns unexamined ideological assumptions limiting consideration of alternative systems and possibilities that could otherwise progress understanding.
• Are you aware of interconnectedness? From the perspective of reality's given hierarchical framework of integrated intentions and working to optimize one's ever-changing life view by maintaining integrity, the foundational structure bestows the freedom to work upon individually intended performance activations across ever-ascending self-consciousness activations.

Questions of interobjectivity:

• To what ends are actions aimed? Performance can be aligned to satisfy personal desires and intentionally oriented to benefit social and ecological interdependence.
• What do you want to achieve? Clarifying intrinsic motivations and mapping goals to accomplish, avoid, or calibrate efforts for peak efficiency. Unlocked performance flow follows the livelihood development process of self-research for self-development, the knowledge to understanding movement.

Continually revisiting these questions strengthens coherence across unfolding experiences, steering motivation toward servicing the Will to Unity. The questions compel investigation to reveal the next step toward performance authenticity.

Cultivating A Cohesive Life View

By broadening our life view, we can acknowledge how optimizing the four elements, in relation, allows each to flourish and form our shared human experience. Though tensions inevitably arise, a comprehensive integral philosophy will promote both the laws of nature and the laws of life. From here, we can elevate performance in ways that uphold self-respect while progressing consciously.
