Eugene begins with a drawing of the human eye. “There is no depth in the retinal image.” He repeats this a number of times to fix it in our minds. He then uses the mnemonic of the hand, a “manual for remembering.” Body goes on the little finger, feeling (like/dislike) on the ring finger, mentation (serial thinking) on the middle finger, comprehension (simultaneous understanding) on the index finger, and initiative will on the thumb.
He repeats: “There is no depth in the retinal image.” So everything that appears to have depth must have come from another source. To integrate, we must start with a physical body. Without a body there would be simply a field of Infinite Sentience. This Infinite Field is ‘bliss’, ananda. This bliss is not ‘self-satisfied’, because it has not got a ‘self’ until there is a body, a reference centre. Having got a body, we must be able to feel, to like moving towards something, or to dislike, moving away from something. Because we have not one, but two feelings, we need something beyond feeling and this is ‘mentation’. The ‘men’ means measurement, so we can measure the amount of feeling of like/dislike. This measuring is always serial, and cannot solve a problem. “The purpose of mentation is not the solution of a problem…but the enumeration of the parts of the problem…the solution of a problem takes you up to another level.” This is ‘comprehension’, which is not serial but holds all the elements. (If we count the fingers of the hand, that is serial, but if we comprehend the many functions of the hand, that is simultaneous.)
