1. a point of [[Definitions/Awareness|awareness]] from which one can perceive. ([[Definitions/PAB|PAB]] 2)

2. that thing which an individual puts out remotely, to look through. A system of remote lookingness- we’ll call it just [[Definitions/Remote_Viewpoint|remote viewpoint]]. That’s a specialized kind of viewpoint. And the place from which the individual is himself looking, we’ll call flatly a viewpoint. (2ACC 17A, 5312CM07)

3. [[Definitions/Evaluation|evaluation]] is the [[Definitions/Reactive_Mind|reactive mind]]’s conception of viewpoint. The [[Definitions/Reactive|reactive]] mind does not perceive, it evaluates. To the [[Definitions/Analytical_Mind|analytical mind]] it may sometimes appear that the reactive mind has a viewpoint. The reactive mind does not have a viewpoint, it has an evaluation of viewpoint. Thus the viewpoint of the [[Definitions/Analytical|analytical]] mind is an actual point from which one perceives. [[Definitions/Perception|Perception]] is done by [[Definitions/Sight|sight]], [[Definitions/Sound|sound]], [[Definitions/Smell|smell]], [[Definitions/Tactile|tactile]], etc. The reactive mind’s ‘viewpoint’ is an opinion based on another opinion and upon a very small amount of observation, and that observation would be formed [[Definitions/Out_Of|out of]] uncertainties. Thus the [[Definitions/Confusion|confusion]] of the word viewpoint itself. It can be a point from which one can be aware, which is its analytical definition, and it can be somebody’s ideas on a certain subject which is the reactive definition. (CONA, pp. 208-209)
