The *(unpronounced) word used for God in the Torah is composed of the same
letters used for the Hebrew words WAS (Hayah) and WILL BE (Yihiyeh), namely
past and future. The word used for God in this context brings past and future
together in Absolute Presence or "Is" - ness.
*When this word is read in Hebrew texts it is read as A-don-ani, which meand
Master, but this is not it's true pronounciation or meaning - it is a word that
is not suposed to be pronounced for various mystical reasons and because we no
longer know the correct pronounciation. Sometimes it is refered to as the
tetragramaton. Each letter represents an aspect of the mystical structure and
process of the creation of our finite world from an infinite Source etc.

Portland Conference
Recently I heard or read Bert Hellinger explaining how his work related to
Freud's work. He said it was basically the same kind of work that went further
than the morality of that time and therfore opened up a whole new field of
development, such as constellations and their information do in this time.
Freud in his time showed that it was important that the shadow, what people
didn't look at or see or were aware of, was integrated. Then this part was not
dangerous anymore. Constellations show that the forgotten or excluded person,
even when we were not aware that there was one, is important and needs to be
included. This goes byond any morality and byond personal consience.
In the conference in Cologne last year there was a lecture from David Steindl
Rast who also adressed the subject if 'it' in a very interesting way. He
explained that the big world religions all used the same sentence in teir image
of God, but with attention on onother word. They all say: 'that is it'. His
lecture is in German transcribed in Hellinger's own magazine nr.1, page 12-13.

And David Steindl Rast has a website: www.gratefulness.org in English. He was
phenomenal!
I wish you all a complete New Year, with love

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] I, You & It - Hunter Beaumont at the Portland
Conference
Hunter Beaumont gave a plenary talk at the Portland conference. A portion
of his talk discussed Freud's model of human consciousness in terms that were
astonishing in their simplicity. Perhaps one of our CT members took notes and
can reconstruct his message more accurately and completely than I will here
working from memory.
Hunter said that when English-language editors were translating Freud they
debated whether to translate his German, "Ich, Sie, & Es" into English, as "I,
You, and It" or the Latin, "Ego, Superego, Id." In choosing the latter medical
standard, they cloaked the meaning in technical terms. In Freud's conception,
the "I" is the part of the mind that makes "I" statements; the "You" is the
persistent internal dialogue that speaks to us in the second person, and the
"It" is the internal driver that acts of its own will and volition. I
explained this at dinner to a friend in front of a glass of beer: The "I" says
out loud, 'My drinking is under control.. I will not drink that beer.' The
"You" is the interior voice that berates or tempts. The "It" is the
non-cognitive impulse to bring the glass to the lips.
If I understand this correctly, it moves Freudian theory from the
ungraspable "every man wants to f**k his mother and every woman wishes she had
a penis" into a much more accessible and coherent framework.
From the frame of "I, You, It," we could propose that Talk Therapy seeks to
calm the "You" by giving it an external listener and gradually tame the "It."
In Constellations, we side-step the "You" entirely and go straight for the
"It." There we find the influences of trans-generational loyalties, systemic
conscience, orders of love, etc. The facilitator's function is to create a
space of silence and stillness where the client can achieve a momentary insight
into the secret urges of the "It," together with an image of the "It", "You"
and "I" in some emergent state of balance.
If I am interpreting this correctly, it goes a long way to explain why our
approach is challenged to find allies among mainstream psychotherapists. While
we are both seeking to heal disturbances in the It, our pathways are
incompatible. One path reaches the It through the I-and-You, while the other
uses silence and stillness as a by-pass road. This is not to say that we stand
in opposition to the mainstream approach, only that we are carving our own
road, which expressly by-passes theirs. An industry that has paved a veritable
6-lane superhighway based on the Talking Cure is understandably loath to
endorse the Constellator's donkey path.
Can some of you please verify whether I'm being true to Hunter's message
and Freud's theory? I trust this is a fertile topic for an interesting thread.
