healing scissor statements begins within
last night laying in bed I was exploring practicing frame dialogue between various parts well—actually, not even so much actual detailed dialogue as just adopting an attitude of respect across frame gaps
like, from a given perspective where A obviously makes sense and B does not, can I find a way to acknowledge that there are other perspectives from which B obviously makes sense and A does not?
so initially I was doing fairly personally-immediate parts, like respecting the experience of a part of me that's feeling sad and lonely, then inviting the sad & lonely part to respect that other parts of me know that I'm loved or whatever
then I was like... what if I just practice embodying the parts of me that most vibe with various more external perspectives, and see if I can respect the other external perspectives they disagree with?
so then for a few moments I explored: - my inner 100k rich kid honoring the perspective of folks desperate for $10 - my inner aggrieved oppressed person honoring the perspectives of people who have more money than they know what to do with
and then... I forget exactly, because it was just as I was drifting off to sleep, but I think I tried on a few different political stances and tried to respect their political opponents' perspectives at the same time
good practice for any would-be memetic mediator
