• W342364706 abstract "NORA MILLER [*] AS AN ARDENT but geographically isolated student of general semantics, I enrolled for the Institute of General Semantics A Weekend of Time-Binding[TM] workshop as soon as I heard about it. This year, the Institute launched their revised education program with a series of seminars, including the workshop on time-binding that I attended in Arcadia, California, on February 16-18, 2001. I hoped I might finally get the chance to make contact with others who shared my interest in the subject and that I might learn something of value in my continuing efforts to apply general semantics principles to my daily life. The weekend met my expectations in several ways, and surprised me in ways I did not expect. The workshop was presented by IGS instructors Susan Presby Kodish and Bruce Kodish, authors of Drive Yourself Sane, and Jeff Mordkowitz, President of the Institute of General Semantics. In preparation for the seminar, I obtained a copy of Drive Yourself Sane. I had come across the authors' names in ETC and I knew of their book, but I had no idea what a valuable and clearly written text they had produced. Discovering their gentle and lucid explanations and applications of general semantics to daily life increased my anticipation of the weekend. Due to travel timing and traffic, I arrived at the seminar meeting room late Friday evening to find eleven people already engaged in a discussion of the first of several demonstrations the presenters had planned for the weekend. We watched a rotating disk of about eight inches in diameter and discussed our observations. Some saw red or blue concentric circles; others saw yellow spaces between the circles. As the disk's rotation changed in speed, some reported that the colors appeared to change. A presenter asked questions, including: Where do you see the color? Where do the colors exist? Where does the black and white exist? When the disk stopped spinning, we saw a series of curved black stripes of varying length, and no color at all. Yet, as the motor had spun the disk, the lines had appeared to merge into full circles, and to change color. With this optical illusion, Susan, Bruce, and Jeff introduced the concept of the uniqueness of our perception, the ways in which our perceptions can falsely represent the real world. We learned how awareness of our perceptual limitations helps us understand the difference between things and what we can say about them. During introductions around the room, I learned that many attendees had started the way I had, by accidentally coming across Science and Sanity or some other seminal general semantics work and finding that their lives had changed dramatically and irreversibly. Along with these somewhat self-made students of the subject, we had the distinctive and delightful presence of Dr. Sanford Berman, the well-known student of Irving Lee and teacher and expositor of general semantics principles for many years. This broad range of participants made for a lively, challenging, and I think very rewarding seminar for all of us, attendees and instructors alike. No Right Answers For the next day and a half, activities varied from discussions, to writing or drawing assignments, to hands-on and non-verbal exercises intended to increase our awareness of our verbal habits and the various types of abstracting we do in our daily lives. I found most of these exercises quite different from anything I had encountered in non-GS seminars, most notably by their lack of a right answer or specific conclusion or goal. …" @default.
