What makes me grow better? Opened or closed Gestalt?
Neatly packaged body of knowledge, with the guru, a few close disciples,
then many followers of whom I am one, feeling safe in my place
OR
constantly shifting ground creating ever-questioning turmoil?
I know the answer to that question.
Split, what does it mean? What is right? Or wrong?
Do I interpret, analyze, withdraw, put myself above it all?
Do I speak? With what intention? And what does it feed?
Do I send this post? Constellation Talk - an oxymoron?
No answers to most questions.
Having just come back from a week under the central Australian desert
skies,
it is so much easier to trust the Ultimate Wisdom of it all
which tells us that EVERYTHING belongs.
So much easier to say YES to everything.
Do we say it loud or quiet becomes an insignificant question of personal
preference.
(Even WHAT we say yes to becomes irrelevant.)
The fact that we can't see all the stars all of the time does not mean that
they are not there.
And, Daniel, maybe you should come, there is a special spot near Uluru
where even the darkness of existential loneliness gets illuminated, and where,
not wars but fires are needed regularly to renew the Land.

Mr. Beaumont, what a surprise! and Mr. Ulsamer and Mrs. Sneh, coming to our
humble community. Many times I wondered why the old ones never show up? it
seems we needed some conflict. War is the father, right? The plot is getting
thicker.
Split, of course, how can we be afraid of that word? Split, blood, bones,
nerves, flesh, amniotic plasma, new borns everywhere. Pain, bewilderment and
awe. It is amazing what Sophie brought to us. War is the mother, right? Ahh
Sophie as Kali. What is being stirred in the depths of the Great Soul? I
wonder. We are mythic characters in a great play. Any one into Jung and myths
to shine a light on us?
Mr. Beaumont, I hope you read me, because I want to tell you and all others
that it is NOT ONLY that they, the Hellinger's may be doing strange and
doubtful therapeutic praxis, or going too far in respect of certain too
mystical and wishful thinking, or other PROFESSIONAL considerations. That is
true and valid, but it is not the worst.
It was impinged a deadly wound at the heart of poetry, of beauty, of style, of
grandeur, of magnificence, of generosity, of strength, of dignity, of
impeccability. A betrayal to all those values that are the antithesis of every
thing cheap, coarse and vulgar. The stuff all great art or wisdom or true
heroism is made of.
When I saw Jesus selling autographed crosses in a talk show a part of me just
died and a strange existential loneliness engulfed my soul.
But then again, the ways of the Lord are mysterious. It is this war that will
renew the land. I accept and appreciate this turn of the destiny, but, that
doesn't mean I agree with, even less like, this Mc'donnalization of Family
Constellations. If that is illumination, I want darkness.
I have spoken.
Daniel.
