Morning to you all! Just wanted to add my thoughts to Chris and Tomy's conversation but first a quick introduction as this is the first time I've posted here.
I only discovered OST a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying various sites and people that have come into my space as a result of that. However, most of the stuff I've come across has been, understandably, in relation to the group prcess but what really excites me is the individual's process within the group process and the implications of that. That's why I was particularly struck by Chris and TOomy's posts about what's "real" and what's "just me". It seems to me that what happens is always real AND just me. And my experience may or may not correspond to those around me. An interesting thing about Chris's example is that, on one level, the reality for the man who took the mic was probably very similar to Chris's reality - neither liked what was happening and both wanted something to change. However, on the "just me" level the interpretation of the experience was completely different as was their conclusions about what action was needed to "rectify" the situation. Eevn more fascinating/exciting, to me at least, is how the process resolved itself in a way that included both their approaches. So the lesson for me in all this is - Trust the Process, Trust the Process, Trust the Process. Both "The" process and my own. But then that's just me!
