Role Playing Explained

The goal of role playing is to break the objectification of the maintenance of role and especially speech. It addresses the question: “Does the role you are expressing, whether automatic or with an origin of consciously divided attention, accommodate simultaneously an independent consciousness?”

An unapproachable certainty that one’s consciousness somehow depends upon or is even influenced by one’s apparent role is a deception. Role playing and its productive benefit, free and unobjectified consciousness, is a serious business and a traditional Fourth Way school’s main concentration. This class study addresses essential elements of the work which are overlooked by the casual student’s model, avoiding destructive and limiting results.

This paper refers heavily to Brain Systems nomenclature, a paper in this series. An independent reader may find this paper unsettling in the absence of that paper or a supporting class environment.
