[Dialogue] What the heck did we mean with "Contentless"??

[James Wiegel]

In the top of the social process triangles, top of the cultural triangle is common symbols process, lower right is social art process, lower right of that is eventful consciousness process, lower right of that is reconstructed universe process, lower left is shattering intrusion, lower right is revised content, top is contentless context process . . .

Does this clarify?

Our reflection gives form to our understanding, and our understanding is how we  live out the meaning of our lives, in separation, in unity, in fullness and contentlessness.
