The Aim and Method of Vision Circles
The Vision Circles Program brings together the insights, techniques and methods of psychology and philosophy to facilitate an open dialogue with yourself and others. The pragmatic OSCAR method aims at strengthening your rational and more-than-rational tendencies, so that you will think clearly, decide confidently, communicate convincingly, and act creatively.
The Vision Circles program is based on the common sense truth that higher level human actions are inspired by ideals such as, love, truth, justice, loyalty, compassion, and many others that pertain to our particular situations. In the variety of human roles (father, mother, son daughter, doctor, secretary, plumber, CEO, teacher, nurse, lawyer, business owner, etc.) the human mind is aware of the difference between 'what-is' and 'what-could-be'. We are always in touch with the ideals of a better self and a better world that motivates us to create what we see.
The OSCAR method, described later on, flows naturally from the beliefs that we are reflective and free beings. The blind application of techniques will not magically produce a completely functioning and happy person. In the physical world of things science has wrought marvels in the areas of medicine and electrical engineering. A wonderful world of technology is at our fingertips. To take advantage of these creative scientific advances all we need to do is learn the technology such as, operating a computer. However, this technological consciousness can seduce us into believing that the achievement of our ideals is just a matter of applying the correct psychological, religious, political and/or social techniques.
Reflection and free choice are the hallmarks of being authentically human. By paying attention to our more-than-rational tendencies we will discover our own practical ways, that is, our own style, to create ourselves and the world in the light of our ideals. All of this amounts to constructing and sharing a personal philosophy of life that is so necessary for becoming an understanding and creative person.
