”Truth, Operationalism and the GS way”
What do we mean by "Truth"?
I present an operational viewpoint and relate it to GS
formulations like:
viewpoints, bypassing, projection ("is of
predication"), elementalism, etc.
How does following a GS Way help us cope with differing
points of view?

The Non-identifying personality
What do we mean by identification and
non-identifying?
How would a person who does not identify behave?
And how can we change our behaviour to act in a more non-identifying
manner?

appropriately)
and how we can improve.
