    The document outlines a cycle of awareness that begins with an undifferentiated field at rest. A need or sensation then emerges, leading to awareness. Energy is mobilized towards movement, action, or contact with the environment. This contact can result in either rejection or satisfaction and assimilation before energy is withdrawn inward again. The cycle then repeats with the emergence of a new gestalt or pattern of awareness.
