Many in the past have found fascination with a 3-way break down of things. Collected general
knowledge has given us:
|
Animal | Vegetable | Mineral |
|
Science has give us a few:
| Solid | Liquid | Gas |
Proton | Neutron | Electron |
|
Law enforcement has give us:
| Means | Motive | Opportunity |
|
Web programmers, like Larry Ullman, have given us:
| Model | View | Controller |
(Instruction from Ullman's books, and an embarrassing amount of copy & paste from
the files that come with his books, are responsible
for the scripting of this site). |
|
The American Indian has given us:
| Earth | Human | Sky |
|
Moms ("Eat every potato and pea on your plate!") have given us:
| Meat | Vegetables | Potatoes |
You didn't, really!? Did You!? Pee on your plate!? (For non U.S. indiginites.) |
|
The philosopher Hegal has given us:
| Thesis | Antithesis | Synthesis |
|
Sigmond Freud has given us:
| Id | Ego | Superego |
|
Buddha has given us:
| Buddha | Sangha | Dharma |
|
The Abrahamic tradition has given us:
| Christians | Muslims | Jews |
|
Christianity has given us:
| The Father | The Son | The Holy Ghost |
|
The spiritual philosopher Ken Wilber has given us (Whoa!):
| Prepersonal | Personal | Transpersonal |
Prerational | Rational | Transrational |
The Good | The True | The Beautiful |
Biosphere | Noosphere | Theosphere |
Consciousness | Culture | Nature |
Aesthetics | Morals | Science |
Gross | Subtle | causal |
And, the best for last (worth about 20 years of study)
|
I | We | It |
|
And then there was Frank Baum, with The Wizard of Oz who gave us:
| Straw Man | Tin Man | Lion |
Or |
Mind | Heart | Courage |
Or |
Think | Feel | Do |
This was the 3-way dynamic that popped into my head, along with:
| Rock | Paper | Scissors |
while re-watching the old movie in 1972, setting me to wonder for all these years if there was some connection, comparison, correlation
between the two 3-way dynamics, and more particularly, if the dynamics of my Rock, Paper, Scissors
play were possibly a gauge, or thermometer of my balance with the other 3-way dynamic, Think,
Feel, Do, that Dorothy instinctively felt important to bring on her journey.
| So, if you're a bit geeky, like me, gather your: |
Body | Mind | Spirit |
quit crying in your beer over things in the:
| Past | Present | Future |
and come along with Dorothy and the:
| Straw Man | Tin Man | Lion |
and play a few rounds of:
| Rock | Paper | Scissors |
just for:
| F | U | N! |
Are you ready for some Rules => Strategy?
