The word presentiation = Vergegenwärtigung (as per Mr. Edmund Husserl).

• [quote]: ‘(...) he uses the term Vergegenwärtigung, translated as ‘representation’ or as ‘presentification’ or ‘presentiation’ to distinguish it from ‘presentation’ (Vorstellung), which in everyday German suggests the process of ‘calling to mind’, ‘visualising’ or ‘conjuring up an image in one’s mind’, to characterise quite a number of processes – including not just imagining, but remembering and also empty intending – which are to be contrasted with the full presence of the intended object in a genuine ‘presenting’ or ‘presencing’ (Gegenwärtigung). Here, some familiarity with Husserl’s overall theory of intuiting is needed to understand fully what is at stake’. (www.academia.edu/10194179/The_Husserl_Dictionary).

The Third Alternative

(Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body)

Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
