Cleavage Plane (GEOM:CLE)
The Cleavage Plane is a horizontal dissociation where the Navigator floats above the Somatic Substrate. The mind and body do not communicate.
Phenomenology
- “Floating Head”: Living entirely in intellect/fantasy.
- Numbness: Inability to feel emotion in the body.
- Surprise Crisis: Body fails “suddenly” because warning signals were ignored.
- Abstract Values: Values are held theoretically but not embodied.
Mechanism
- Trauma response (Freeze/Dissociate).
- Cultural conditioning (Cartesian dualism).
- The body is viewed as a vehicle/machine to be driven, not the seat of the Self.
Healing
- Priority: SEQ:1. This must be addressed first. You cannot do deep descent work if you cannot feel your body (the container).
- Method: Somatic grounding, sensory integration, Sophia directed inward (Interoception).
- Goal: Re-inhabitation.
