\section{\section{Why \section{Why  Worlds Plural}} Plural?}  The tools described above began from an individual point of view. They emerged from interdisciplinary discussion of three investigators and grounded local application and refinement by another. The reality of being-in-the-world as humans is deeply personal, dependent on when and where we live our lives, our language, mentors and experience. It became very apparent to us that we had to work to understand each other even when speaking the same language and using the same words. The world of experience both separated and stimulated us by variety. However communication and inexact meanings must be worked thru: worlds shared. 

World Terms  1. pWorld - your personal world beginning from birth, requiring connection and survival  2. pvWorld - personal validated world, dependent upon relationship, appreciation, and access  3. psvWorld - personal socially validated world, seems true but can and does contain prejudice  4. slWorld - social world of common language usage, can be a language of manipulation through symbols with emotional power undermining reasoned, reflective thought  5. swlWorld - social written language, supposedly it means what it says or at the other end of the spectrum means what a person wants it to mean  6. svWorld - a world view commonly accepted in one’s tribal group  7. fvWorld - family values? in some groups disagreement leads to exclusion, or silent rejection, powerful forces towards conformity of thought  8. omWorld - old Material world, the Reality of materialists, chairs one can kick for validity of perception, rocks, maths where 1+1=2, runs into trouble dealing with love, poetry, symbolism, what is, is, and other less definite issues. Confuses and muddles study of emotion, psychosomatic medicine, tends to ignore insights from so-called soft science, literature, creative arts  9. bWorld - The world experienced by a Being-in-the-World (Dasein).Here we would consider the philosophical contributions of Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleu-Ponty and the somewhat related work of Edwin Hutchins, Hubert Dreyfus, Jak Panksepp, Andy Clark, Clifford Geertz, and Mark Solms. The concept of Dasein (Being-in-the-World) has shaken the assumptions of many philosophers and potentially can illuminate the study of areas of mind/brain and medicine that have been hidden form us by our misconceptions about how things function.  World Views  The explanation of narrative reflection tools requires discussion of how our personal development, means of communication, and social and cultural setting influences our mind/brain and therefore our world view. New language is used here to define for our purposes terms that are too vague, or overlapping or frequently used, with almost opposite meanings. This confusion of language and communication is one of the major sources of both errors in our thinking and resistances to change in our conceptions and actions.  \end{itemize}
