OneSelf is not basically a matter of “subjectivity”

---

‘Subjectivity’ is a politically-loaded term—coined in early modernity (from Latin)—which originally pertained to the condition of a person as subject to a lord.

The Greek notion of psyche was something else: a conception of Self (which I discussed briefly, a while ago) or soul. I refer to selfality, self (and selfidentity), self/[inter]personal difference, nebulous Self, and altogether a differentiated conception of oneSelf. Homogenous notions of subjectivity are relatively simplistic (as well as ideologically tinged).

places of play <—> play of places—mental and / or otherwise.

• playing place: Suppose...
• interplacing: We suppose...
• interplaying: We consider...
• playtiming: “Can you come out and play?”
• playing time: In the beginning,…
• interplayce: We loved that…
• playgrounding: It is the case that...
• interplaycing: Are you wholly in play here?

Free association—reverie, “daydreaming”—has integral value for creativity inasmuch as it serves the mental efficacy which is ordinarily necessary for adaptability, for gaining options to prefer, and for shaping purposes, all of which can be individuative through self-reflective learning: advancing flexibility, enhancing scale of value, and inspiring aspiration.

That efficacy released into novel play evinces options, values, directions, etc. which can be importantly novel: creative.

ValueV or Value

Some values are integral, even regarded as intrinsic, unlike most values. Integral values have high importance which orient the relevance of other values for action; or override other values in evaluations. Values of one’s mode of life may be understood in light of a specific Value of being one’s life, e.g., integrity. A holism of Values is integrally valuable for wholehearted engagement, commitment, and fidelity to what truly matters.

To preserve the kinship of integral values and other values, I’ve capitalized reference to integral values in my offline notes; so, I’ve done that online. I’ve placed a ‘V’ at the end of ‘ValueV’ when such reference begins a sentence. Better might be to bold the ‘V’.
