Stage II Concepts

1
Stage II Concepts

• Stage II presents to the viewers cognition
  signal line data relevant to physical sensory
  input similar to sensations the viewer would
  experience if he or she were physically present
  at the site
• Allows the viewer to come into closer contact
  with the signal line through recognition of
  sensory site facts

2
Stage II Concepts

• Centers around the 5 physical senses touch,
  smell, sight, sound, and taste
• May include temperature hot and cold to touch
• General environmental ambiance
• Energetics magnetism, strong radio broadcasts,
  nuclear radiation, etc.

3
Stage II Sites

• Sites for Stage II training are selected for
  their pronounced manifestation of sensory
  information such as botanical gardens, chocolate
  factory, steel mill, amusement park, etc.

4
Clusters

• Stage II responses tend to come in clusters of
  3-4 words
• Stage II responses may cluster in categories such
  as 2 or 3 tastes, smells, colors, or textures,
  etc.
• AOLs are declared

5
Basic Words

• True Stage II words are generally simple,
  fundamental words dealing directly with a sensory
  experience such as rough, red, cold, stinging
  smell, sandy taste, soft, moist, green, gritty
• When words go beyond basics they are considered
  out of structure and therefore unreliable -
  objectify as Stage IV (S4)

6
Aperture

• Aperture opens wider to accommodate Stage II
  information
• Allows detailed sensory information to pass
  through to viewer
• Information comes in slower and less concentrated

7
Dimensionals

• As viewer approaches Stage III, aperture widens
  allowing viewer to shift from a global (gestalt)
  perspective to a perspective where certain
  dimensionals discernable
• Dimensionals demonstrate 5 dimensional concepts
  vertical-ness, horizontal-ness, angularity, space
  or volume, and mass
• Such as wide, big, long, tall, etc.

8
Reminders

• Remember to number pages consecutively top right
  hand corner of paper
• Continue to objectify AOLs and breaks
• Combination of true sensory data in Stage II may
  produce a valid signal line image consisting of
  colors, forms, and textures

9
More reminders

• Stage II visuals may be distinguished from an AOL
  in that they are perceived as fuzzy, indistinct
  and tending to fade in and out as one attempts to
  focus on its constituent elements rather than the
  sharp, clear, static image that is present with
  AOL
• Stay in structure - Head section S2

10
Aesthetic Impact (AI)

• Indicates a sudden and dramatic widening of the
  aperture
• Signals transition to Stage III
• AI is viewers personal emotional response to the
  site

11
Aesthetic Impact (AI)

• How the site makes you feel
• Sudden surprise, revulsion, or pleasure
• Keyed directly to individuals own personality
  and emotional/physical makeup

12
Stage II Drills?

• Drills promote flexibility in producing Stage II
  responses
• Viewers asked to produce a list of at least sixty
  response-type words dealing with all of the
  possible characteristics of sensory input
  tastes, sounds, smells, tactile experiences,
  colors and other visuals
• Also magnetic/energetic experiences
