"Correlations" is a technique which enables
you to see life from another angle. Its value lies not in its 'truth', but in
its effectiveness at calming your mind. It does this by neutralizing one of the
deepest causes of stress: the biases that we hold so dear. As you might imagine,
this 'tool' is not very popular with most people, for deep down,
we want our biases to be reenforced, not neutralized.
Words Correlated in the Introduction
This list includes all the correlations introduced on the first few pages, plus a few more.
Here, they are sorted on the Active nouns and verbs. Such an arbitrary
arrangement can produce some cryptic horizontal and circular readings, which can lead you
to unexpected insight. Add prepositions occasionally, i.e., with, to, from, on, by,
for . . . and so on.
Remember, each word within a column helps define its column mates and visa versa. Here,
no word stands alone. Meaning depends on concurrent qualities. You are using all the words
sharing a vertical column to define -- although sometimes elusively -- each other.
