Hi Jan and all,
In Particular: " It eloquently speaks to the continuing conflict of choices I
feel between
being attracted - sometimes indignantly - toward a reparative mythology
that sometimes sneakily seeks to privilege my gender over theirs (and keep
me "safely" and blindly within my group conscience) and some greater
unfolding mystery."
Moved daily by this on-going inquiry, Anni's suggestion that perhaps
perception shifts when we "step completely into the darkness of that which
we do not see" caused both a primal shudder of fear and a
relieving recognition of truth.
It eloquently speaks to the continuing conflict of choices I feel between

It may be that transitionally we do need new or renewed models for the
power within males and females. However, it may also be that we can
increasingly go to the as yet unimaginably free place where all myths and
conceptual systems are unnecessary and tiresome fictions?
Bert Hellinger's new book, *The Church and Their Gods*, asks the questions:
Whom or what do we encircle? What attracts us so that we encircle it?
What do we encircle as if it were God for us? Can what we encircle be like
God? Do we form an image as if what we encircle were our true center? Are
our circles so small that suddenly our own self stands in this center? Or
are those circles large and then become larger and larger still, because
they circle around an infinite and empty center, with love: and in the
end, do we stand in awe? Do we also turn into a song?
(p.50)
I know these CT conversations widen that circle for me. Thank you all.
