As I search the archives of my memory I seem to discern six types or methods of judicial writing which divide themselves from one another with measurable distinctness. There is the type magisterial or imperative the type laconic or sententious the type conversational or homely the type refined or artificial, smelling of the lamp, verging at times upon preciosity or euphuism the demonstrative or persuasive and finally the type tonsorial or agglutinative, so called from the shears and the pastepot which are its implements and emblem.

Organismic awareness is what we on the Ego Level ordinarily, but clumsily, refer to as seeing, touching, tasting, smelling and hearing. But in its very purest form, this 'sensual awareness' is nonsymbolic, nonconceptual, momentary consciousness. Organismic awareness is awareness of the Present only you can't taste the past, smell the past, see the past, touch the past, or hear the past. Neither can you taste, smell, see, touch or hear the future. In other words, organismic consciousness is properly timeless, and being timeless, it is essentially spaceless. Just as organismic awareness knows no past or future, it knows no inside or outside, no self or other. Thus pure organismic consciousness participates fully in the nondual awareness called Absolute Subjectivity.
