Information and impressions: where they enter the brain and how they are processed.
The allistic brain has a square, limited structure, while the AS brain moves within an infinite orbit, constantly fed with information.
From embryonic life onwards, we are programmed with a set of fundamental principles that give us stability and trust. In our earliest childhood, we seek to reconstruct these inner reference points and foundations in the outside world.
Some elements belong to the prenatal period, when we floated in the peace and calm of our mother's womb. Cradled by love, we were nourished there, in full developmental growth and protected by this enclosed cocoon. At birth and during the postnatal period, other factors strengthen the balance of these foundations.
It is comparable to building a house, whether square or round, on the ground of our genetics.
The AS brain is constructed according to a multidimensional (spherical) capacity for observation.
The allistic brain, for its part, is more of “a cube”: its view of the world is limited and structured. This is not a flaw: information reaches it along fixed axes, through a simple but solid structure. In this metaphor, the allistic house has four windows—east, west, north and south—through which information filters, whether it comes from the ground (the earth) or the sky (the ceiling).
The AS person develops within a sphere, an orbit: information flows in from every direction, forming a multidimensional stream of varying intensity. This unstructured flow of information is complicated at first.
The brain must first establish a structure before finding its balance; this phase is both precious and fragile.
First come prenatal reference points, inside the womb: a protected connection with the outside world. After birth come external reference points—parents, family, friends—then those arising from society. All information enters our consciousness through a direct impression; we are flooded with this information.
