%RECIPROCAL PERCEPTIONS 731115
Human motivations originate in reciprocal
perceptions. Motivations and behavior decline, become
bloacked, and/or perverted when reciprocal perceptions
decline, become blocked, and/or perverted.
It is not enough to be aware of another person, for
the other to make a creative difference to self. It is
not enough for self and other to be aware of each other.
It is not enough for self and other to be aware of each
other, as being aware of each other. Human motivations
originate in reciprocal perceptions which go to even
higher levels of reciprocity, than such mutual awareness
of mutual awareness.
Sometimes, but not often enough, the science
instructor is aware of his student as a real person.
Sometimes, but not often enough, the science student is
aware of his science instructor as a real person. But even
in instances where there is mutual awareness, there may
not be mutual awareness of mutual awareness: and even if
there is mutual saareness of mutual awareness, there may
not be mutual stimulation of motivations to engage in
creative scientific investigations.
Suppose the student perceives the science instructor
as a programmer who perceives the student as a
programmable automaton. Suppose that the instructor
perceives the student as a defective programmable auto-
maton who perceives the instructor as an over-demanding
perfectionist, who seeks to maintain standards --- through
quality control as in a mass-production factory, by
rejection of defective manufacutured items. In such a
situation there is mutual awareness of mutual awareness---
and it may even be accurate. Yet that awareness will
not serve as the generator of creative motivations on the
part of either the student or the instructor. In such
instances, beahavior follows the decline, blockage, and/or
perversion of the higher levels of reciprocal perceptions.
Love involves both consideration and caring, with the
focus of the consideration and caring being the welfare of
the other; joy coming from the higher levels of reciprocal
perception of the reciprocal awareness of reciprocal
enjoyment which reciprocal caring generates. Attractive
scientists will have the emotional security to enter into
reciprocally intimate personal relationships, which will
stimulate creative motivations --- in the presence of
mutual sympathy and empathy.
