Introduction

The position we stand affecting our views, thoughts, emotions, and results.?

Shifting our frame to have a different perspective, the slight shift in the position creates our mind to reframe context and content. Changing the position and seeing in a different motion allows us to separate from our body and preview from different sides.?

It is a very powerful and ecological view of perception.?

The perceptual position enables us to see another person's point of view.?

The purpose is to have the empathy to be in another person's shoes.?

To gain a greater understanding of another person's perspectives of a situation. It allows us to dissociate from the position to take charge of our own emotions during a heated situation.??

A few terms will appear new when we go further into each position, such as associate and disassociate. In general, it describes disconnect and connects yourself in feeling, thoughts, understanding, and emotions.

Let's take a look at a metaphor of a 3-dimensional art piece. It conveys a different meaning when we stand in a different position to view it. Different positions provide a different view and purpose.?

Alright! Are you ready to get confused and complicated by Eve? Come on, everyone! Sit tight, relax your shoulder, take a deep breath, and here we go!!

An overview of the four positions

For the Perceptual position, we have four different positions.?

1st position: I (self)

2nd position: You - (other)

3rd position: They (Meta)?

4th position: We (Wholistic)?

Each position has a different set of views.?

The principle in the placement of different positions allows us to experience and understand someone from a different view. We will not be fully understood unless we get into their position and experience it.?

One point of view represents a single dimension, a single perspective from an angle.?

How about a complete picture of seeing as a whole - the power of we?

That is where the power of Identification of all members of a system of the same identity. The power of belonging in a wholistic group mind.?

Let us take a look at each of the positions.

The?first?position -?SELF

Self - is our perspective as you, referring to yourself. You are looking it through your world on how you perceive this point of view is and not connected to other people.?You help us to understand what is your highest priorities.?

Your main priority is your safety, outcome, mission, and the connectedness to your own body of your safety preservation.?You are not taking into account another person's point of view. In this position, you are fully associated with, living, and experience what is happening.?

The second position -?OTHER

Other - is the perspective of others, stepping into the shoe of another person. Whereby you are walking, seeing, hearing, and possibly thinking and feeling in their position. You match and mirror, setting the pace, associate with by picking up the things from the 1st position.?

You dissociate from yourselves and associate with the 1st position's mind, emotions, and experience in this position. The experience will be more involved with feeling and being empathetic.?

What you are experiencing is seeing through the?1st position's eyes.?You experience differently and have a different understanding and a separate identity.?In the second position, you pick up physical sensation, being empathetic, creating some sense of bond, evaluating, and doing something for the 1st position. It is a way of survival skill to get out of yourself.??

The third position -?META or AN OBSERVER

Meta or an Observer - they are not directly involved in the situation, and they are neutral people and completely independent from the case. They see the whole situation from an outsider's point of view. In this context, an observer is completed dissociate from both?self and other.?

They are not biased. They gather and seeing specific facts which cannot be seen from the position of?self and others.?In the?3rd position,?it is very useful as they see it in a neutral and objective view. A Meta view sees it from an information point of view, collecting data. Collateral and organize information and sort it out into a piece of useful information, such as like a consultant.?

They are completely disassociated from the situation.?The feeling, thinking, and emotions experience will be different. They have certain conclusions. However, they cannot interfere and suspend assumptions which the first and second positions have.?

They observe the environment, actions, and behaviors (non-verbal), the thing the person said. They repeated what is being said and were careful of the words. The information will be something like the main issue, how they close the gap, etc.?

The fourth position -?WHOLISTIC

Wholistic - is where the power is, the power of We, systemic thinking of togetherness as a whole.?We look at the relationships of things. The different system relays to one another. We form an industry, a larger system that we can rely on. We are no longer having our original self but coming together as one entity.?

That is the most abstract and most complete form. Wholistic see Team spirit, group mind, and shared identity of who we are as a whole.?We form different parts of an organ in this entity. Such an experience draws us to deeper common actors and characteristics, which unite and connect us as a group.?The basic foundation of integration as a community belonging.?

The Power of Wholistic

When we come together and view this position, We see authenticity. We have a collective shared vision, intelligence, and perception of group thinking—the power of us as a collective whole. We come together and unite as a connectedness to others.

We see other people as an extension part of us. I am part of them, and they are part of us.?The power of we. We shared a commonality of vision and values. We serve the greatest good and the largest number of people.?

We all strive to create something we want to know, something biggest than ourselves.

"The overlapping of identity co-creates the feeling and emotions between us."?(Robert Biswas Diener, Understanding Happiness)

Example of a team of competitive swimmers in a relay team. Each swimmer represents a different strength in the team, such as butterfly, freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke. They are no longer individual self, but they belong to a large team entity.?They co-create happiness and emotions with one another.

Their collective strengths power them as a whole. They form a team spirit and group mind. The power to bring the best in us!

Why does it matter

All four positions are equally important. It helps us to identify at a humanity level. The fundamental human and cultural values apply to everyone.?When we remove our biases and come together, we formed the same collective behavioral identity.?

The power of collective values and shared identity.?It builds our overall sense of vitality, engagement, connection with one another.?We see trust, appreciation, cooperation, and intimacy (the ability to be vulnerable).?The acceptance and being visible to one another as a whole.?

In a community of belonging, we see people flourishing and forming unique relationships. Such a relationship is like a family. A family of closeness and connectedness.?

As a coach, viewing from different positions allows us to generate the questions for our clients in helping them to explore greater possibilities and exploration.

How would you apply this to your own situation??

Have you ever got into a situation of argument with friends or colleagues in a miscommunication loop that resulted in a bad ending??

What causes it?

What would you do differently to prevent a bad ending??

A miscommunication or an argument is often a time that causes emotionally hurt. We build our emotions, and the mood affects our rational judgment on specific crucial evidence.?

Crucial evidence in this context is the antidotes to resolve the whole situation. Imagine a missing piece of a puzzle which is the main piece that glue both side together.?

How might the result be like if we view it from a different position???
