In Synergetics we use everything a:

third ear. The mannerisms of a person reveal his whole history, and with compassion we help him to change. Words ar

what people do not say. The slip of th
tongue is very revealing. Indeed, slip
of the tongue led Freud to discover th
unconscious. We use what Art calls phase
shift. This is comparable to what Korzyb

It is easier for the misinterpreting
group to find reality than it is for the
