Hello, David,
Because I started this discussion about flow 0 and because it is an intriguing concept to me, I would like to respond to your last post. I agree with you that the PFC is not addressing Flow 0. It is going in that direction though. You mention previously about being abused as a child and concerns about other children being abused so I'd like to give a personal example from my sessions. As with yourself, there is no way a small body could be made responsible or "Cause". However, as the sessions progressed and more charge came off, the answer to my question finally showed itself: I saw that during that incident I was operating two sentient mock-ups (in the astral?) -- two different identities while at the same time being the child identity. Two against one :-)) That really shut my mouth for good re so-called childhood abuses. Yes, I could still use that incident to garner sympathy or support, etc, if I wished, but that died off too. Not interested in getting anymore mileage from the past. Please don't ask me to explain what I saw in my final session. It is enough that it was real to me. And please do not infer that I am saying you and other victims may have something similar going on. The only reason I give that example is that hopefully you will see the relief a person can get from finally seeing their cause, even as an infant. We can become very narrowly identified as a particular body. Dennis says "Life and postulates". Lifeforms and a matrix of postulates/counter-postulates; therefore once I saw the postulates everything else fell away and I was left with only myself and my postulates and covert game strategies. I felt sorry for the "perpetrators" and for what I did to them to cause them to do what they did. There is more to a victim than might meet the eye. Compassion for victims and perpetrators alike. Like yourself, I can take offense to reported atrocities. Since Trom I sometimes stop and examine my reaction. Even though it seems to be right and correct and moral, and compassionate, etcetera, I check myself for a compulsive postulate set. Lately I got upset with your persistent posts trashing Dennis on this list and saw that the upset feeling was because of my must-be-known games I enjoy. Take the charge out, see the compulsive postulates, and we can more effectively deal with a situation. Lighthearted and complementary. colleen
