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.
