You need to have a paper and pencil to do understand the Perceptual Position and Time Line Matrix.
Draw a vertical rectangle and divide the same into nine equal parts by drawing two vertical and three horizontal lines. Mark the vertical side as `Time Line' and the horizontal side as `Perceptual Position'. In the vertical side mark `Past', `Present' and `Future' on the first second and the third boxes one below the other. On the horizontal side on the top of the rectangle, mark `Self', `Other' and `Observer' on the three boxes on the top.
You will have nine compartments in the matrix. The following will be orientation of the nine compartments:
Box1: Past / Self
Box2: Past / Other
Box3: Past / Observer
Box4: Present / Self
Box5: Present / Other
Box6: Present / Observer
Box7: Future / Self
Box8: Future / Other
Box9: Future / Observer
I could understand you are confused! Let me place me in `other' position and think! Please click on my website given below and go to `Perceptual Position and Time Line Matrix' and download the same. Take a print out. You will have Fig 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I will explain what these diagrams means and how they influence your thinking pattern and behaviour.
