PBP as Journal
This display makes it reasonably easy to take in the needed information pretty much at a glance. The current entry (or a new entry) in the top part and a table of related content below. Spreadsheet buttons are awkward, though.
PBP as Oracle
This layout is based on the six parts of the personhood dimension with a central two parts to the action dimension in the center. As it happens, the query in this sample and the resultant "reading" relate to the redesign decision.
Perfectly Balanced Path Logo
The PBP logo has the basic or frozen arrangement of the inner dynamic and outer static circles. The central household ecosphere in this case is rural rather than downtown.

Life Path Calibration sample 1
This is me when I was into 4x5 film photography when stationed in Germany in the 1970's. During that period I spent the vast majority of my time off duty learning photography from a master.
Life Path Calibration is ordering these 12 concepts, six nouns and six verbs , in a way that I can use to explain to myself what I was doing back then.
There was a period when I was seriously working on my body and getting it into shape. I think that Body would have been on top then; along with Learning,

Presonhood vocabularies
So far I've got 9 versions of the words used to divide personhood into the six aspects. The base or root vocabulary is the first row. Members of the PBP project will be able to instantiate their own vocabularies.

Some of the alternative vocabularies for perspective are quite different on the face of it.
Tai Chi Dao
I think of Tai Chi Dao as a path defined by the way we walk upon it.
Physically, we learn how to move precisely and under complete control while at the same time being totally aware of our environment and our opponents or partners.
Mentally, we learn how to put a pause on incoming signals from our environment and other people so that we can decide what to do rather than simply react without thinking.
Emotionally, we learn that keeping a cool heart makes walking the way more pleasant, as we also learn when a hot heart may be appropriate.
Spiritually, we learn how to be grateful for what we have and humble before that which is beyond understanding.
In our dreams, perhaps, we finish learning and we know the truth; but in reality we never stop learning, for it is how we walk the path is more important than where it goes.
