Openness: The Enabler at L7
Function & Name
THEE-Name for: «an active experiential state that maintains the potential for creating meanings and perceiving diverse meanings in stimuli and events».
is thepreparedness in the form of
ensures- receptivity so we can perceive , &
- generativity so we can produce .

allows us to freely play with alternative possibilities when receiving and when expressing . It is a form of self-mastery showing up as deliberate free-floating attention or situational awareness. We are then ready for communicative phenomena to happen. While being natural and spontaneous, it is nevertheless mysterious.
Properties
state of being, it does not exist to do anything as such, and we cannot do anything actively with it—as we can at all lower Levels. It simultaneously senses and integrates the multiplicity of other factors in the various relevant contexts.
is an enabler. As aAll we can do is activate allow things to happen within us. In the state, ideas rise to the surface, intuitions emerge, possibilities are seen, perspectives are brought to bear, the world around us appears to change. All seemingly automatically. This imaginative work is intrinsic to handling situations creatively. It is available to everyone—if desired and allowed. As a fortune cookie said: «a closed mind is a good thing to lose».

Still Higher Levels?

The diagram at the top asks if there can be anything higher and beyond

and sensing at are only just beyond the biological, so at is pure experience, intangible and even difficult to refer to or confirm. So it seems reasonable to conclude that the hierarchy is indeed complete, and there are no higherBeyond endeavour-related entities within THEE. These depend upon, assume or imply , while flows from and implies them.
as a whole, we can identifyWe have now clarified, formulated and broadly described seven Levels, one by one, in : i.e. , the Primary Hierarchy.
To better understand the properties that discriminate the various levels, we must now consider them all simultaneously. Making comparisons is a great help in understanding both the Level entities and their properties.
