This is really solid. I like the framing, and I think it's nicely presented. I would love to see more personal anecdotes that trace it back to your experience, but that's my personal preference.

I also think that even the "microframe" is itself composed of many bits of experiences that themselves are not separate, but are not collapsable into a single, uniform whole. Even fear or anger themselves are composed of many sensations arriving in unison, some from the body, some from the environment. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of opening up to these and learning to sense and integrate them into my experience. They add color.

I think, from that view, you can actually experience all of them not as separate overlays, but as a unified experience that "pops" out a globally distinct form, sort of like one of those 3D images. I'm still figuring out what this is like and how to talk about it, so maybe I'll do a post on it at some point. It seems to be related to Gendlin's Focusing, though.
