ABSTRACT
It is clear that we need some different ways of seeing the body, so that we can understand better its relation to meaning, and to achieve this there are two important obstacles that must be overcome, or at least considered. The first obstacle is the problem of how to see persons as non-dualistic wholes, when we have learned to see them as combinations of separate things. The second obstacle is the way we think about how different aspects of the body are organized, and how we divide the body up into 'schemata,' or, using Wilber's terminology, how we have learned to differentiate aspects of functioning of the body. In the object-body scheme of things cardiologists, generally speaking, highlight the body-as-structure-and-object, and render the body-as-subject-and-experience invisible, despite the fact that cardiology clinics are full of patients that could do with a meanings approach.
