student1 says, ""
You say, "Gabriel I really enjoyed our talk a couple of weeks ago and would like to continue"
student1 says, "Unfortunately i cant send an E-mail about mi conception of the commons, the differences to this and the owns, and how to take care about it"
student1 says, "i want to talk about the commons the > <owns> and the differences between this points , what things are fror the people and what for my own person
basic perception of how we see ourselves in relation to the earth
You say, "we will just have to talk about it here. I feel that in order to restore the commons we must change our basic perception of how we see ourselves in relation to the earth"
student1 says, "i send you an E-mail about my opinion of the theory of maslow. my new team can referes to thios. do you red it"
student1 says, "i think one important common is the universe. to apreciate it is a pleasure, is an interesting point which a i can sa share with all the people, are this true?"
You say, "yes I believe this to be true. Ultimately we need to see ourselves as members of the biosphere, an integral part of the web of life and I think Humanistic Psychology is an important aspect of this awakening"
student1 says, "all the activities to conserve the ecology, the city and its patrimionia, is a beginning to preservate the Universe. I think the first poin t i can do is to worry in himself"
student1 says, "The own patrimonnia ><i say my body, my mind , my conscience, my emotions, my soul > is as important as the universe, i think it"
You say, " Si! exactly we need to start with ourselves becoming mindful of the a pparent interconnections in which we have our being"
student1 says, "the firs point to preservate the commons is take respect for oneself. <to be the fhat father and mother of one self>"
student1 says, "i fear only for one think, the lost of something <the lost of my mind, the lost of one of a member of my body, even the death> i think there are people who dont take care about their bodies"
You say, "yes I agree we need to become responsible for living our lives and develop an internal locus of control if we are to make a difference in restoring the commons"
student1 says, "i think for example the persons who have anxiety, schizof <who how can i as say esquizofrenia en ingles> and other mental problemass ."
Esqstudent1 says, "or maybe the persons who have an organic sickness, the lack of one member or organ of their bodies"
" I believe thstudent1 says, "im worried of an aspect, the suicide"
You say, "I believe that mental illness is a result of our disconnection with the earth"
student1 says, "in some part all you say its true. the illness is a result of a disconnection or a wrong perception of the world. i dont fell want to feel an ilness, but nobody can escape of this"
You say, "we are in effect committing ecological suicide as we speak"
student1 says, "i dont undestand the last you speak a committing ecological suicide"
You say, "I am speaking of the environmental destruction we as a species are causing"
student1 says, "oh yeah it is an interesting point, that the man destroies himself, the man destroyies to the other man"
You say, "Si! when we hurt the planet we are directly hurting ourselves"
student1 says, "the agressive instincts <talking about freud> is the base of this destruction. you need to destroy him something for an unknowed reason and then if you can destroy this you destroy himself. this is a theory. i dont know a what do you opine"
student1 says, "im talking about it, the destruction affect to oters, to the planet, and consequently to himself"
You say, "I can agree with that, " yes I can agree with that, I think it also has to do with the philosophy of dualism, which causes us to see everything as separate"
student1 says, "About the dualism. i understand the oposition of someone or something, for example the oposition of the body and the mind, or in philosophy the theories of idealism and materialism"
You say, "Descartes ideas of a mechanistic world which sees everything as a resour ce to be exploited instead of as an integral part of beinf human is a real problem today, it causes the breakdown of community i believe"
You say, "I think that Humanistic psychology runs counter to dualism"
student1 says, ""isay taht the human need to be conscious about this personality , to this soul"
student1 says, "the person is disconnected by this. they <the persons< dont integrate the parts of themselves"
You say, "yes! awareness is of paramount importance, especially today"
student1 says, "it is the purpose of the psichology to help man to integrate the parts of the human"
You say, "SElf actualization y integration is is the goal, I believe, of humanistic psychology. I see you agree with this"
student1 says, "I think the that the psi chology needs to integrate its theories first, i say to integrate the different theories."
You say, "becoming reconnected with nature is an important part of integration"
"THt hat is a good student1 says, "the new sistems of conceptualite the person integrates to the old conceptios"
student1 says, "im sorry but i have to say this, only i have 5 minutes to give a conclusion of this i have to go. i have to do some things"
You say, "That is a good point we need to refine and define what it means to be human in terms of psycholoy and ecology:ECOPSYCHOLOGY"
You say, "Ok It has been good talking with you again Hasta el jueves Gabriel mi amigo"
student1 says, "my conclusion is this. the psichology need a change to considerate the commons. It is in the process."ok. see you in tuesday. good by. send me more E-mails, and say to the other parthners gi send E-mails too"

tured in a way that they need only one face, . I think this is admirable
You say, "some say that we have developed more than one face (personality as a device to cope with our culture). Indigenous peoples have no need for thi s because their society is structured in a way that they need only one face. I think this is admirable"
student1 says, "You and me are more of three persons too"
"I believe in self actualization we would only have one integrated personality which would adapt student1 says, "the people were not sincere, th ey show different faces in the social situations, and others he seems diferent faces to surprice other people. "

You say, "yes I agree with you about integration of our different parts"
>student1 sa ys, "To control the difeferents parts of himself, to control the emotions or what?"
You say, "Internal locus of ccontrol meaans that you accept those things beyond your control and change those things you can and know the difference"Ins tead of being a rudderless ship at sea at the mercy of life's circumstances ther e is a way of thinking where one can take responsibility for one's choices"
student1 says, "con trol means not to be controled by the destiny, not to be controled by the situat ion of the life but to be the own of oneself, i think."

sostudent1 says, "Wand what do you opine about the integration body-mingd, himself-other people, yourse lf-your other face"
istudent1 says , "The integration must include them"
You say, "I feel that dualism has for too long guided our western societies and Psychology Humanistic Psychology is an important step in battling dualism"

You say, "We need now more than ever to see that we are not as different as we a re alike, that is, we need each other for our well being in this sense we are ot hers"

You say, "I will send you an e-mail this weekend "
student1 says, " but i can say one think: the prsichology need to understand in a totally vision. Well . my conclusion is: We need to contemplate the psicholog y to understand and imagine how can be the psychology of the next century"

Thurs. Oct.31 1996
Scott is designated as You say,
Gabriel is student1
student1 says, "No, these sciences of Psichology and Philosophy creartes a combination, it is: to find the essential points betweeen the sci ences to form the basis of m new science, not only to mix them, to find the basi s idea to conceptializate the world as a Unit , to be agree to the waty to perce ive the world, how can be agree what is the explanation of the human being the Universe and this world"
You say, "Hello Gabriel ar"WE can agree on the basic unity of all things by obse rvin nature by reading what modern physicists have to say Capra, Bohm, etc. "
You say, "This new combination of science and philosophy/psycchology is a very i mportant step if we are to survive our mistakes"
student1 says, "well, if Descartes said the separation of mind-body we can integrate it proposing a psichology which help to do it. the life, the modern life can help, the religion, as it is now, cant help, the modern life (i say wrong before) cant help, the technology v cant help, the science (n materialistic and practical) either cant help. the only science can help is Psichology, because it was conscious to it is necesary"
student1 says, " exciuse me for my ignorance, ill try t o be in your level, and undrerstand your idea, first who are capra and Bohm?"
You say, "All of them I believe, can help We need to realize that mind and body have only been conceptually separated they have always been one we just need to wake up to that fact"
student1 says, "We are agreee with o ne point : the Dualism can help to human to be grate great, the psychology can , but ie it need to learn about the Dualism to understand how to integrate, how can the man perceive the Gestalt of this life"
You say, "Capra and Bohm are physicists who have discovered a fundamental unity of all things at the sub atomic level and who feel we need to revise our world view"
You say, "What I am saying is that things are fundamentally non-dual in nature a nd we need to realize this"
student1 says, "Capra and Bohm , how they can to conceptualizate , to contributes to our conversation, maybe because it fuond the essential of the things?"
You say, "yes precisely they have found truths that verify Eastern philosophy an d a living in a conscious symbiosis with the natural world"
You say, "A conscious symbiosis, that is being aware of our relationship with the world this is Ecppsychology"
student1 says, " oh., yeah forget my question, I understand it. In religion God is a unity of the all man in Psichology, it refers the need to find someone integrated, some eternal, some more universal, in Philosophy, to contemplate the universe like a total "
You say, "That is Ecopsychology"
You say, "We are underneath already integrated but we do not know it?"
student1 says, " i have problemas to understand about Echopsychology, i can find the main idea between the group of ideas you say me"
You say, "I will send you an email of the intro to my paper"
You say, "Ecology and Psychology combining to get people back in touch withthe g round of their being that is the natural world"
"Ecopsychologystudent1 says, "The problem is how to integrate the parts of someo ne (body-mind, soul.<<gost>>-himself <<conscious><, man-people, religious-scienc e, philosophy-science, mind-feeling"
You say, "Ecopsychology shows us that we cannot study human beings by themselves but only in realtionships with the environment and other people"
You say, "Everything is connected you cannot pull out something without all else coming with it"
student1 says, " I think in Gregory bateson <<i am me and my circunstances>>. he said than the man is relationship with others, is a "symbiosys of persons who are an only person, contemplating as a unity"
You say, "I will send you an email explaining ecopsychology"
You say, "yes Bateson is great and he is talking about the very same thing I am"
student1 says, "You can say Claudio send me an E-mail about the effects caus psichological effects prodeuced by the Virtual reality"
You say, "I told Claudio, he will email you"
You say, "I have not had time to read your email in it entirety but I will and I will send you an email addressing those subjects"
You say, "Claudio says he sent you an email did you get it?"
student1 says, " I catch the idea of Ecospsychology. !!!!, To considere the univ erse like a unity who integrate the individualis, the great force to who percei ve the reality like a UNITY, It is perceived by the man as GOD, but we can learn to pervceive like Him, remenmber than we <<are in likness GOD"
You say, "Si!! in this sense we are God if I dare say so. Some might call this blasphemy but I feel it is the truth"
You say, "Unityy consciousness is the key"
student1 says, "Yes i read e-mail from claudio and you, i they are interesting. I really aprecitate your information but a i am an obsessive of the information , I need (is an internal emotion and interest ) to investigate more, and you are the oportunity to learn more"
You say, "Claudio says maybe the three of us can have a discussion next time "
student1 says, " I doubt about God because the religion talks about some things that seems fantastic, but in esential, it a good way to learn about human"
"I am thinking in a completely non-hierarchical way with no one over and above a none or anything else
You say, "I am thinking in a completely non-hierarchical way with no one over and above anyone or anything else"
student1 says, "It is very good, I wanted to converse with him before you contact with you. (yi contact with you, i correct my mistake). But returning with our conversation, The work of the man is learn to comprenhate the world in different way. I think the philosophy help. Do you read someone about the method of phylosophy >< I said the reflection and contemplation"
You say, "and you are my opportunity to learn more"
student1 says, "Good, i ll send you an E-mail about how the Psicsychology can learn about the method of Philosophy ( to apreciate the totally of someone)"
You say, "Reflection and contemplation play a major role in this emerging new consciousness"
You say, "I believe Psychology is where we put philosophy to work for us in defi ning and redefining ourselves and our world view"
You say, "Psychology is philosophy in action"
student1 says, "I think that the psichologists need to remembre the origins of t his science <<the greeks>> and then, reflect about human >>the man r"
student1 says, " I agree with you, the psychology is philosophy in action, is the form to expresse the need of human to investigate about himself"
You say, "I agree but not only the Greeks the Hindus and Buddhists also"
"What do you think?
You say, "What do you think?"
You say, "Gabriel it is time to say Adios "
student1 says, " I have only five minutes, then i go"forget my last reaction if this appears, i have time yet, I think that the psychology need to join the lost parts of their knowledges"
"We need to redefine psychology in these new more broad terms yes?
You say, "We need to redefine psychology in these new more broad terms yes?"

Thurs. Nov. 7, 1996
Scott is designated as You say,
Gabriel is student 1
You say, "So Jung Shadow? Collective Unconscious? pick a topic"
student1 says, "In the congress I learned about the theory of jung: the collective unconscious, the sym bolism of dreams, the miths, the new age of conception of human being(the cierc le as a symbolism, arqueotipo, mandala"
You say, "I am currently studying Jung in my Counseling class it is very interesting"
You say, "In a sense the collective unconscious is one th thing that connects al l cultures and peoples transcending differences"
You say, "JUng found similar myths and traditions in cultures that had no contact with each other"
student1 says, " I talk about Carl Gustav Jung, disable of Freud, the psicoanalist of the mandala, who says that the human need to stablish the Universal symbol, the conception of totally, he talked to the oposition as the origin of the human being, introverse, extraverse, thinking, feeling, sense, intuition (the four chatracteristics of humans)"
student1 says, " The circle is very symbolic. It envols all: the planet, the universe and all the beings who inhabits in them. The circle means integration"
student1 says, "The unconscious, the collective unconscious is a memory of our past thinkings , the ancestors feeling"
You say, "The mandala represents wholeness yes and integration it is an important universal symbol"
You say, "All that has gone before is somehow stored in each of us as the collective unconscious"
"student1 says, "jung is a great theoric of the culture, the ancient culture, he explored the myths and showed the way of the ancestor to find an integration of their parts, and we, in the present, lost this ability: to perceive the mandala"
student1 says, "Are there fenomena who cant be explained by the science, but they have sense by the psychology and philosophy, specially in the religion."
You say, ""Yes , for the most part we have lost this ability to dialog with our greater selves through the symbolism"
student1 says, " the past egypt is interesting for me because the symbolism they envolve, The india, past japanishsts, the Aztecs, Mayas"
You say, "Symbolism is an important part of integration and a language which transcends linear thought"
student1 says, "The science have the purpose to destroy the symbolism of the relig ion and the philosophy. The scientists think that the body is the only in the world. They forget the soul"
You say, "Remarkable similarities between these cultures the Mayas, Aztecs and Egyptians all built pyramids separately"
You say, "Jung would say that this is due to archetypes of the collective unconscious"
student1 says, "It was (the pyramiids99) produced by aliens from out the sapace No, I think that the Mayas are magic, the egypts are intelligent, i dont know the origin of this spacial thinking in the symbolism and the discovery of the soul"
student1 says, "the mayas expand the conscious, expand their soul"
You say, "The Mayans and Egyptians are magic and so are we we have just forgotten the language"
'Modern Science is starting to come around and rediscover this language of the soul, the archetypal collective unconscious
student1 says, "the fourth dimension, the discobery of the things far more the body, the substance, the material"
language os symbloism like our dreams
scostudent1 says, "Nora wants to know more about the mayas"
student1 says, "Nora is my partner here in mexico"
You say, "What I know is limited to a book I read called The Mystery of the Mexican Pyramids by Peter Tompkins"
You say, "I have another book on this called Maya Cosmos but I have not read it yet"
student1 says, " nora asks you if you know something about maya calendar (no aztec calendar"
You say, "No I regret to say that I do not But i have heard that the layout of Teotihuacan is a giant Map of the solar system and that the city may have been a sort of University"
student1 says, "do you think we are returns to the origin: the return of the psychology origins, the philodsophy, the religion, the esoterism, the soul"
student1 says, "the study of the soul , the BEING as an only thing.? "
You say, "I think that we we are inseparable from our origins "
"The soul is the same as Jung's Collective Unconscious I believe
You say, "The soul is the same as Jung's Collective Unconscious I believe"
student1 says, "Returning to jung. Is there similitudes between jung and Bateson and Maslow?"
student1 says, "Na Nora sa ys thanks for your information."
You say, "I think there are big similarities between these men the main one being our inherent oneness"
You say, "I think that Jung was Humanistic before thr term was coined"
You say, "Gracias to Nora"
"student1 says, "I know the pyramids are very siymbolic. Do you know the reason of the triangle simbolism? I heard the psyramid preservates de tenergy of the person, the pyramid recolectes rthe enery of the sun and the cosmos"
stud ent1 says, "Nora wants to speak with you in other time to discuss about the mayas and aztecs, "
You say, ""What I have read on this says that the pyrimidal shape concentrates energy to whatever is inside "
student1 says, "Nora asks if you can talk about Culture later (i think other thursday"
You say, "I have also read that the pyramid at Giza is a map of the earth and stars like teotihuacan"
student1 says, " The parst culture is very interesting for me, but unfortunatelly i ignore more about it. I need to ask Nora more about it"
You say, "yes I would be glad to talk of culture with Nora I am currently putting an essay on our web site please let me know what you think"
student1 says, "Mayanas is are very intelligent, but i think we can develop our mind to increase our thinks as the mayas"
You say, "There is a lot the mayans and all Native Americans north and south have to teach us if we will only listen"
student1 says, "Nora says that she will look for more information about mayas"
You say, "The problem is that they were so totally disrupted by the Conquistadores that very little is left" [I found out later that this is not quite true S.T.]
student1 says, " I have a question: "can the psychology be both science and philosophy, can the psychology return to the origin and harmonize soul and body? What do you think?"
s it very fascinating to me
You say, "I will also look in my book Maya Cosmos and get back to you and send you an email on this it is very fascinating to me"
student1 says, " i symolize this situaytion like this Mayas are the soul in harmony with the universe, the conquistadores are the body who distrups the armony. We (mexicans) as the combination between indians and european have the promise to find the armony between maya and europeans. It is just i have lived in the congress: the discovery of the sense, the feeling, and the need to armonize my life"
You say, "Yes I think it can be both if we change the idea of progress and linear teleology and convert to humanism.
You say, "yes what you say is so true we need to harmonize and synthesize what the indigenous cultures have to tell us about ourselves"
student1 says, "Im sorry to you cant read the spanish part of my e-mail. I define in my own experience about the process of integration"
You say, "Claudio will read it and tell me what you said I am anxiuos to hear it and understand "
student1 says, "All you and me dixscouss, about the Dualism, the harmonize, the integration i have been experimenting right now in my own life"
You say, "My own integration process is a fusing of my fragmented selves into one coherent face
student1 says, "The importance of our discussing is not to see and thing about who how to integrate the human bei ng, the important one is how to experimenting it"
You say, "I want to know what your process is like and I will share mine"
You say, "Yes to actually do it that is more exciting than just talking about i t"
You say, "I am also on that path"
student1 says, "Its difficult to explain my experience to you in english but ill try: I have am was in my congress here in mexico, and in one of the human developing activitie called "Dreams, symbolisms and miths " hel p me much to discober my parts"
You say, "I will send you an email on a project in my counseling class"
student1 says, "M anuel Cervantes helps me to sdiscover my unconscious part, my GHOST, hidden in my internal life i havent acepted"
You say, "I understand I am also doing that with free association and dreams"
You say, "Self discovery is why we are here without that it is just a bunch of theories"
You say, "Integrating the shadow is what I am working on"
You say, "we only have 5 minutes left"
student1 says, "but n know i experiment a change in my life, I know my lost parts, my FEELINGS, this process was difficult and painful, really i wanted to cry, I knew that this internal experiences be hard to experiment., but at the end the prize is worth, the Knowlegde of oneself"

Gabriel is student1
student1 says, "I have towe hours "I have two hours and half to talk with you"
student1 says, "Yes i have and im the only here"
student1 says, "Are anybody with you"
You say, "OK let's get started have you had a chance to read my essay? I did receive your email"
student1 says, "Ithink we need to redefine our virtual ineteractional gruop. Do you receive any e-mail of me"
You say, "I am the only one here today"
student1 says, " i have had a quiqly read of your a essay . I feel interesting"
student1 says, "What do you wan t to talk about"
You say, "Gabriel I feel you are my friend and I want to stay in touch even after this class I could converse with you through regular mail if you like"
student1 says, "Good, first we need to re-define a permane nt time of conversation and to redefienne our topics"
You say, "I would like to hear waht you think of my essay"
You say, "Also I will give you my address "
student1 says, "Its there are new informatiuon for me. I just quiqly read your e sasay. I think that it refeers to the systemic theory, the totally vision, as an interconnected web of comunication"
You say, "Yes I am talking about a fundamental change in thinking which will bring about a change in the world"
student1 says, "We are in a modern vision of the human, and this can help us to re-find us with our ancestors, way to seee the life"
student1 says, "We atre in the road to find the lost parts. There are a leyend refered that the human was separadted by the gods, anfd then since this , we are living to find our halfpart of oursdelves"
You say, "Our modern vision has to somehow incorporate the ancient and the modern with science and religion"
student1 says, "Yes, to integrate the moderrn and old vision, it is just I want to comunicate y ou about my propose to integrate the old and new conceptions in psychology"
You say, "You are referring ,I think to Plato's symposium and Aristophanes "
You say, "I think this of the utmost importance, in fact I think it is the most important thing we need to do now"
student1 says, "I talk with Platos symposium and the thinking of Aristoteles about the human Being: "<<Soul and mind are inseparable, the road to find the Being is to raise in the pyramid of knowledge, since the practical view, to the contemplatio n of the soul"
You say, "Plato is again relevant here with his allegory of the cave. It is forgivable when a child is afraid of the dark it is when men are afraid of the light that is the real tragedy"
student1 says, "The new vision of the human refers to this: to considerate the soul thougt the nbody, to contemplate the psych throught thee materailial"
You say, "yes The mind/body dichotomy is an invention of thought [eculiar to the western mind The eastern systems have never sufferd such a split"
You say, "That is one point in my essay that light and dark are merely two sides of the same coin and dualism seeks to divide them but this is an artificial , conceptual split not in reality"
student1 says, "We are just rise in the category of knowledge: we rise to the level of practical view, ordinary life to reflexive life, not a sci entistic and separable thinking"
You say, "In the allegory of the cave though light and dark do refer to Knowledge and ignorance yes i do not mean to confuse you"
student1 says, "Yes, the allegory o f the cave, I really remember it now. I dont in the confusion. "
"In Buddhism when a master is asked what is enlightenment? the answer is your ordinary mind is enlightenment
student1 says, "Thats i try to say you: the ordinary life <<first level of knowledge for aristoteles>> ignore more things about his life: the man in this l evel doesnt see , doesnt obserfve, doesnt contemplate his world"
student1 says, "But we are in a high level, to aprectiate the world as an unity , The UN IVERSE as a totally net"
You say, "O"one point in my essay is just what you said: That we need to contemplate and observe nature to learn about ourselves and our place in the world"
student1 says, "Yes11111!!!!!!! we are in the same channel, welcome to my thinking!!!. I really apreciate we are conversing in the same way about the same thing"
You say, "This is the crux of our modern problem that we don't experince ourselves as the world that we are somehow separate but we cannot be"
You say, "The non-linear nature of things is revealed by watching the seasons come and go how can it be different for us?"
student1 says, "I think all the theories, all the religions talk about the same , but in different ways. I think in Nora taht says about t he ridiculous fight between the religions, and then the scientists fight betweee n themselves to finfd the truth"
You say, "Aristotle was wrong about teleolgy I think things are cyclical not in a straight line towards some goal"
student1 say s, "The linear vision only see a detail, only see amn specific point in the natu re, the non linear view contemplate all the nature, not a simple detail, it contemplate the system "
"I agree with you it is ridiculous it is like Jonathon Swift in Gullivers Travels where they are warring over which end to break their eggs on
student1 says, " Yes, Aristotles was wrong for it. But I try to refer about the road of the knowledge of the world. But I think that in this road, we can advance in knowledge but also to rerverse it. To interchanging of levels Top to button, button to s top"
You say, "Somehow we have become confused as a people and think that our artificial separations for the purpose of study are actual when they are just for conve nince like language"
student1 says, "I can propose it: The reoad of Knowledge and the way to viwew the world are cyclical, trasnspassing the ordinatry view, then to returning it. The cicle can be to Ordinary.-scientistic-philosophi cal-teologica-ordinary--etc."
You say, "I am not sure what you mean please explain"
student1 says, "or even to returning at the half of the walking"
You say, "I think we are on that returning road now"
You say, "If not we surely need to be on that road of returning"
student1 says, "E Ill try to expalain this. Aristotle says that we are in a piramid (or road) of know ledge: the buttom level is simple n viewing the ordinary, then we raise to a seconfd level, the scientistic , and then the philosophical. The propose is raising to high level but do not forget the simple level. It is an intercghanging level s depending the situation"
You say, "This is the problem of technology that it is tied in with the idea of progress toward some elusive goal that no one has sufficiently explained"
You say, "It is like Maslows Hierarchy?"
You say, "I think i see what you mean"
You say, "We have forgotten the simple level yes?"
student1 says, "To adapt our y thinking and knowledge to the situations, to see the material in some cases, to see the soul in others, to interchange our vision between simple to complex to unity"
student1 s ays, "and then to returning to simple, to scientistic saw, to see a unity, and t hen to combine different ways to see. Can I explain me?"
student1 says, "Yes the hierarchy of maslow i s similar: we can advance into the top, but not forgetting we have phisiological needs,"
You say, "I think you are talking of a more all inclusive vision of the world to not ignore some things in favor of others but to have our priorities in place a nd know when to use what modes of thinking is this correct?"
student 1says, "Our needs of self-realization combine to alimentatio n and body needs. because we are mind and body. we have to need all the satisfac tors required by the body and the soul"
You say, "We forget that we have bodies we are heads and the rest sort of dangle s along for th ride"
student1 says, "Yes, to an inclusive vision: to co nsidere all the visions"
You say, "For the most part modern man lives in his head and neglects the body"
student1 says, "The problem about the modern men is that the people is worried a bout their bodies, or they are worriewdd about their minds (emotionally and soci al) but not both at the same time. The haver priority about someone but not to t he two things"
student 1 says, "We are returning to talk about the integration that Descartes had denie d, but Bateson try to search"
You say, "I agree it is a sad state of affairs we need to realize that we are mi nd/body just as we are organism/environment"
You say, "How long will we continue to suffer from Descartes vision?"
student1 says, "organism environment sis important too. Some persons forget in himself to help others, or the prersons forget in the other to attend some othe rs"
You say, "In my essay I say that the community gives us our identity and that we are individual/community in a gestalt figure /ground"
student1 says, " Until the nman understand that we are not in a separable vision . I understand and i try to change my vision, but unfortunately some of my parth ners in my psych major forget this vision"
stude nt1 says, "If your essay said all i we are discussing, Im anxious to read all it "
to convet y this vision of onenes and its implications people think ai am crazy
You say, "It is a constant battle and I feel alone in it much of the time in try ing to convey this vision of onenes and its implications people think ai am craz y"
student1 says, "Its important to me to eat your information abou t the topic of the integration. In my classes this class of systemic theory is not common"
You say, "Yes this is waht my essay is all about "
student1 say s, "This is my propose: to learn more about your vision, the re-integration of o urselves and the gestalt (unity vision). Thanks for you want to complain withme your essay. I will read it with more ineterest"
than in amexico
You say, "It is not that common here either but probably a little more common than in Mexico"
You say, "I think this topic is the most important one to raise especially inter nationally"
student1 says, "In mexico still consrerving the psychoanalytic vision and the ps ychaiart vision (lineal vision9 ) but Manuel Cervantes is fior the new vision . All i learn is by him."
student 1 says, "The beggining of exploring this new vision is in Arts colecture since t hree years titled Transpersonal psychology. Thats ts my was my introduction to t his"
You say, "Ask Manuel if he has ever heard of Alan Watts or maybe he can recommend b ooks on this subject"
student1 s ays, "Yes, i ewill taask if Manuel heardd Alan watts. But i will get information of him."
You say, "Transpersonal Psychology is my main interest and is important to apply in the vision of orgasnism/environmrnt"
student1 says, "By the waty, Do you know if Claudio receive muy e-mails?"
student1 says, "By Art i learn about Transculture, and the arch etypes of jung. "
and ask him
You say, "I think Claudio has received your emails but he is not here today unfo rtunately I will email him and ask him"
student1 says, "Thanks for email Claud io. I want to talk with him. Or even if he can email me at Arts adress. "
You say, "This subject is so huge and so worthwhile to explore I think Jung is o ne of the most important figures of the twentieth century"
You say, "Jung began to integrtate eastern and western ideas"
student1 says, "Do you heard about Jung talking about the res urcing of the UFOs, as a symbiolism odf the totally? I dont know wwhat is tyhe n ame of the book in english but in mexico it is called <<sobre cosas que se ven e n el cielo>
You say, "I will ask Claudio to email you at Art's Address"
You say, "I am vaguely familair witH Jung's work in this area"
You say, "Please tell me more "
You say, "In a unified vision of the universe there can be no such thing as alie ns we are all from the universe yes?"
student1 says, " the UFOs, if you watch someone, is circular, as a mandala, as a s symbolism. the UFOFos says that we are entering in the exploring of the totall y. Jung says that we need rto return to a circular vision, the integration repre sented by the symbol of the circular flying saucer. The scientists explain that the UFOS fly very peculiar, turning in himself itself, and then conserve that st atistm : they conserrve the flyng <<flotando, i bdont know who to say in spanien glish<<>>"
You say, "Wow! that make so much sense to me that we are creating a sort of myth which is a symbol of our beginning to awaken incredible signifiacance and insig ht here"
student1 says, " In some cases the aliens are angelical, not only the conception of the little gr ay man, that im sure you heard it about it. By the UFOLOGISTS there are category es of aliens: the little gray men, as seemesd as babies in the utero, and the an gelical aliens, seemed an angel described in the bible. The angeliscal aliens co me to his the earth planet to say us about the spiritual way to see as the same that the angels to us in the bible. Thats very symbolic."
of the spinning?
You say, "UFO's are a spinning mandala then and what is the significance of the spinning?"
student1 says, "I dont know what is spinning in spanidsh1!!. Can you explain me what is spinnin g?"
You say, "Oh i have heard of the numerous sightings over Mexico city anfand have seen films of them and heard of the locals religious symbolgy surraounding this phenomena"
You say, "I mean a turning rapidly in one place like a frisbee or flying disc"
You say, "Like a Phonograph record"
You say, "Whirling"
You say, "The UFO's are warning us then of impending disaster?"
student1 says, "yes, thats the same that phonograph record. the Ufos turning in one place. they have movement but at the same time iy they seems that the are st atic. Thats just the same as man: is a coming angd goindg in the same place. In our life we are in devenir (going and coming), but a part of us conserves in him self. Our soul as a bieng concserves himself as an entity in his world"
student1 says, "Tahts the symbolism of the UFOS by the psychology."
You say, "In a sense then we are somehow warning ourselves through the medium of the UFO's?"
student1 says, "The aliens of this UFOS are the senders of this message. they cr eate in us the awareness about ewe are a totally comunion. Do you heard the book "COMMunion" about alan walkers?"
You say, "Each one of us is a revolving vortex of energy like a flying saucer wh ich somehow conserves their energy ?"
"I have heard of this book but I have not read student1 says, "All the visitors of the space and the humans abducted (captured by the aliens) says that it is ne cesary the awareness of thgee universal communion"
it yet
You say, "I have heard of this book but I have not read it yet"
You say, "So are the UFO's really us in a nother form or from our future coming to warn or tell us about our completeness our totality?"
You say, "Tell me more about communion please"
student1 says, "W I refewrs I refer tothat: Our soul and body are the same. the energy is the capacity to avct in this world. in the interaction between human a nd environment, something changes, like our body, our emotions, our thinkings, a nd then the environment changes, but the escential one of the man dont change: the human is a Being interchanging with so the environment. That definition deoe snt chanege."
student1 say s, "Communion that aliens try to say us is this: we are in a inrteractional cone ctedness of experiences. To enter of in a comunion is to enter to interacting wi th the universe with the armony and rithm. To live in peace, without illness, wi thout wars, because there arent parts in conflict. Only exists a kind of classs of human in their planet. But qwe in our earth planet we have a variety of races fighting with ourselves."
You say, "I see and this the most important message,I believe, we need to hear a nd is precisely what is meant by organism/environment in that we cannot be defin ed separatly from our world we are embedded in an interconnected cosmic matrix"
You say, "WHat you say about communion is exactly what I mean by CONSCIOUS SYMBI OSIS is that phrase clear in its meaning?"
student1 says, "To enter in a Mraa Macro-cosmic interaction. Some of the aliens (angelicals pribncipally) are here not to quest the planet, but to help us to ra ise in our intrernal life. Thats oyther symbolism of Crhist, krisna, quetzalcoat hl, budda"
You say, "UFO's primary task is to raise our conscious awareness to a higher lev el so that we may see ourselves as we truly are correct?"
student1 says, "Yes CONSCIOUS SYMBIOSIS111!!!. We are not separate of the world, we are interchanging with environment, to living interacting with the nature."
student1 says, "aristoclas and other philosophists said that we are only: The Being is the same viewaesd by other facers. The being ids the same , but we see it by diferent ways depending the organism or material thing."
You say, "In my paper i say that it is a dangerous prospect to be uncosciously i nvovled in a symbiotic relationship"
student1 says, "yes, that is the Ufos primary task."
You say, "Yes we look different when we are viewed as different aspects of our en vironment"
student1 says, "And i say that we can be awareness to the communion not losing our actual vision. but to integrate the vision the aliens try to teach us and the lineal cvision we have (Ordinary to p hilosophical)"
You say, "We cannot be different from the angels in the UFO's they are our high er selves?"
student1 says, "Yes, bec ause we are in the likeness ogf God. We are in the walking to be angels, or mayb e we are angels but we caare not conscuious of it. We are in the process to get the self-realization."
You say, "So we do not lose our current view completely but integrte it with wha t we are learning is that correct?"
student1 says, "Yes friend: that s i want to say you. in the same way thet at we cannot lose a part of us, the ps ychology cannot lose the parts of ti it(old and new conceptualization odf the ma n)"
You say, "I think it is as you say that we are the angels but are simply not con scious of it maybe this is also what Jung would have said"
You say, "So then awareness is not losing our capacity to function in the world but enhances it improves it so that we will not destroy ourselves and this preci ous planet which is in fact our extended body"
student1 says, "The aliens try to inrechanenge otheir knowledges to us, but this knowledge is the same as the ancient cultures like egyptiands, mayas have g et"
You say, "We have receive this basic knowledge before and it keeps getting muddl ed and lost or otherwise misconstrued so that we miss the point but it is nothin g new as I have also said in the part of my essay titled Ancient Wisdom to Moder n Science"
student1 says, "To get aweaareness about we are humans in the process to le arn by his life. The recognition of our ewrongs arent a lost of time. it is a wi nning way to increase ofur awareness of we are not perfect, but with the hpopre to be perfect as god."
You say, "And the Hindus also have known these things for millenia "
You say, "You are saying ,I think, that we can learn from our mistakes and that it is not too late to change our thinking and change our worldview"
student1 says, "Im surprised that we are talking about the same thing by other o words... thats the same tahat all the religions and all the teories., they say the same but with other words, then the preposition is to unificate the knowledg e to create an unique vision, with the same words, and then this knkowledge to a dapt to particiular phenomena or situatiuons"
student1 says, "Its not late, we can chage t yet. principally b ecause the people think that the next millenious is the enfd of the world. No, I think that isnt the ednd, we can change yet."
a war over which end they should breas k their eggs on
You say, "Yes all religions are saying basically the same thing it is ridiculous as you say that thaey cannot see this. It is like Gulliver's Travels bt Jonathon Swift in which there is a war over which end they should break their eggs on"
student1 says, "We can evoid the earths destruction and to rupth the destiny of the humans ed end."
student1 says, "yes thats the same t hat Gullivers travels, the ridiculous way to life."
You say, "According to the Hindus we are going to create an era of peace and enl ightenment and also according to the prophet Nostradamus "
student1 says, "Nostradamus says an advertense but i think that it isnt necesaritly a destiniy . "
You say, "The Protestants and the Catholics are fighting in Ireland still and over trivialities they bascially believe the same thing; it is a political excuse"
You say, "Nostradamus says that we can change things that our destiny is not a f ixed thing we have a cetain amount of free will to create our own future"
You say, "I don't know advertense"
student1 says, "We are not hin a destiny. we construct ousr destiny, our life. H ave you ever heard about the social cosntruccionism."
student1 says, "the theory of social constructionism"
You say, "Yes I am familiar with the social constructivist ideas and I like them they make sense to me I am currently writing a paper on emotions using in part a social constructivist perspective"
student1 says, "The advertense is this : there are a wolrlds war, the destructio n of the human, the end of the humans civilization."
student1 says, "yes, the social constructionism says us that we con struct a life in interasction by the environment, as the same waty we construct a bouilding."
You say, "I see but Nostradamus also said we can change things his message is li ke the UFO's a warning not all gloom and doom"
student1 says, "all th e messages, about maysas, egyptioans, jesuchrist, aliens and nostradamus woldd would make awareness to our destiny if we continue destroing the world but unfor tunaltelly, most of the people dont take conscious of it."
student1 says, "We would never ignore the message of thwee soul, represente d by this figures or images, but it seems that we are very worrirded by himself, . wahts hapenning qwith the people''? what does people neded to understand the m essage?"
You say, "Yes this is the sad part people are not open are not listening they ar e existing on a low point on Maslow's hierarchy and they don't even know it"
You say, "We have lost the language of the soul our mythology is devoid of meani ng has been reduced to the level of secular banality"
student1 says, "I think the psycology can help to take awareness in the people, in the terapy, in the grupoop process like it, in the lectures to the comunity. we can do much to inform people about the care of the commons"
You say, "I am interested in wilderness therapy to get people back in touch with their primal roots with nature so they can redefine who they are they don't kno w who they are"
You say, "We need identity today now "
You say, "This has to be the new function of psychology not adjust people to an insane society but to wake them up to who they are a refutation of dualism"
student1 says, "Manuel cervantes says that threre are levels of integration in t he therapy: the foirst level is the ghost-person, the second level is mind-body, the third organism-environment, the forurth transpersonalizatiuon an d the last one is the unity. The terapy refers the level of integration is important to ge t the identity and to enter to the comunion of the environment" student1 says, "To cr eate an healthy society that the person can adapt in it. Not to adapt in an ilne ss society as we know it actually."
You say, "Ask Manuel if he can email me his ideas on this subject I am very inte rested in hearing what he has to say on this it sounds really great!"
student1 says, "Yes, i will ask him. Thats an interesting point for me too."
You say, "Yes and this has largely been the function of modern therapy we ned to revision psychology to learn what the illness has to teach us not just treat th e symptoms but get at the root of the problem"
student1 says, "the Manuels adress is mcervan@halcon.laguna.ual.mx."
You say, "I must say I am really enjoying talking to you Gabriel"
You say, " I will email Manuel Thank you"
You say, "My reular mail address is 5276 Mill Creek Road Healdsburg California 9 5448"
student1 says, "Yes, i must tio say it too. Dont rupt the conection. We are a gr oup integred, we are in a symbiosis, and the distance is not a limit."
You say, "This is ground breaking innovative learning and I want to continue the friendship and discussions even after this class is over OK?"
student1 says, "my adreess i n torren coah. mexico is cjavier mina street #147 int.4 (dapartment 4) c.p. (z.p .) 27000. I dont have e-mail but weyou can contact me by arts e-mail. You can se nd me a regular letter too"

Week Seven
Wed. Dec. 4 1996
Scott is designated as You say,
Gabriel is student1
student1 says, "for a while i think our connecting has lost, but im happy that this doesnt occur." student1 says, "precicely i send you an e-mail to you asking whats happening with you."
You say, "No it is just me I am negligent"
student1 says, "Yesterday italked with skip robinsosn and this conversation was pleasure for me"
You say, "I am ok I am just very late and I am sorry"
student1 says, "Ok, dont worry. Probably Nora can talk twith us today, but she doent come yet"
You say, "Yes Skip is great I am graduating this semester but I am going to try and stay involved with you and this program I need to atlk to Art about that"
student1 says, "i can converse with you until 3.00 in your city. about waht what topic do you want to talk?"
You say, "I have a class at 2:00 let's talk about whatever you want"
student1 says, "Congratulations for your graduating. im graduating next semester, in may or june too. Im just preparing my theisis proyect, and manuel cervantes will help me."
You say, "Do you know if Manuel got my email and also did you get mine"
student1 says, "We caan begin talking about learning comunity, the interactive gropup in Psychology."
You say, "Excellent choice I love Learning community and any person centered learning"
You say, "Oh yes Claudio cannot be here today he had to work"
student1 says, "I dont know if manuel send you the hies, but he receive the yours, I saved it in my diskett. i sent you an e-mail of my congress, and in manuels part i explained about the psychoterapys levels."
You say, "Ok good I checked my email at about 7:30 this morning but it was not there yet"
You say, "I will check it again later"
student1 says, "Ok. ClaI will send to claudio an email later. Abiout learning comunity, i think that is an interactive group process about people who works together in the finding of any pr coommon propose, is that right?"
student1 says, "In your words, what is Laearning comunity"
student1 says, "I will prepare an interactive gropup for my thesis proyect and Nora havs prepared t other.Nora will form a group of childsren and me will form an interesting group of psych majors (students9) who can share knowledge and experiences
You say, "Yes that is right it is also about creating a safe space to be yourself wiithout being judged in, this environment learning can take place more easily because of the absence of conditions of worth you get to be yourself it is empowering and life affirming"
student1 says, "I wait your suggests about how to managge an interacytive group, i will ask skip oabout lethe way to integrate and interact in a groiup. later ill send you the structure of my proyect"
You say, "It is based on Carl Rogers ideas on person centered learning and therapy. I feel that it is a much more valid way of learning than traditional learrning methods. The power is in the hands of the students to direct their own learning"
You say, "Skip was a faccilitator in my first semester in learning community It is very non-directive "
student1 says, "Carl Rogers is a good one. his theory is interesting, especially because he centers in the person, not in the pathology of someone. The Gestalt can help in this interactional process in a group."
You say, "Yes gestalt can be a good tool to use in this type of learning, but we did not use this method per se in my L.C. experience. I can see how it would work well though you would have to be very careful"
student1 says, "the law in a group, in a psych group is this <<think in now and in present tense>>, <<center your mind and soul in your internal life and dont judge the others. >> <<the cjhanges in oneself sourches in oneself, it isnt prodeuces by others>> >><<the most important point of motivation is in our internal neded>> <<with interaction in a group is an important way to develop w own capacirtyy"
student1 says, "im sstablishing this laws by Gestalt, humanistic theory and systemic theory. <<in a group, there are no distance between the persons, n but the limits between you and the others are in yourself, if you can open to the others, the others open you their own doors<<"
You say, "You have got it. The community helps develop this capacity and also provides identity to the group members; People become defined by their place in the group"
student1 says, "the purpose of my interactive group is the integration from separate parts <<as individual person>< to an ineterconnected group, without lose the identity"
You say, "This opening depends on creating a "safe container" and how safe people feel in the group I feel"
student1 says, "the place in a gruo group is importnat impoetant for each member, its also important the identity in the group, the integration and the sane comunication"
You say, "In this sense I feel that the individual can feel like they are an individual/community whole a gestalt as it were"
You say, "I feel that what you are doing is very important and wonderful"
student1 says, "the confidence, i think you refeer it with <<self container>>. other law says <<all we talk in a group doent go out of the group>>, <<we can develop the self-confidence to converse with others and to express our internal feelings with the thinking that the group dont judge ous>>"
You say, "There is a man you should read his name is M.Scott Peck he writes about community his book is called The Different Drum"
You say, "You are right that is what I am talking about. The self confidence comes from not being afraid of being judged"
student1 says, "Your information is wonderful too. your essay is the key to discover the <<deepest question>> of the conception of the human being (skip say me that the deepest question is my primasry interest by observing our conversation and this word is interesting for mae)"
.student1 says, "the propose of my interactive group ais: the first, in an interactive gruoup to discover our internal capacity to be a self..-realizated human, and the second, to discover the answer of the deepest question"
You say, "I am glad you liked my essay and that I have a chance to share it with you. "
You say, "You have very good goals for your group and I feel the work you are going to be doing to be very impartant maybe the most important kind of work that you could be doing"
student1 says, "indrs net is as interesting as yin-yang. i explored the net and i find alans watt e wegb page. I will read it. "
You say, "Alan Watts has a web page? I did not know that I will have to find it. Watts is my main mentor I love his work he is very important to me WOW!"
student1 says, "i want to propose you if we can contuinue participating in this virtual group next semester, if you can, and to integrate you as a virtual connection inthat can include in my thesis proyect. well, unfortunately you caan not be corporally in my hipotetic gropup, but you can continue in theis space."
You say, "Indras Net is the commons and the community they are the same and have a lot to do with learnin community"
student1 says, "clearly, my propose to you ids this, you and me (probalbly Nora and another you invite) can integratate a new virtual group in next semester, with a mission, to discover the response of the deepest question."
You say, "Yes I really want to continue doing this and will ask Art how I can do this even though I will not be a student here next semester I will be doing Graduate scool here though next fall"
You say, "I would love to do what you propose and will start working on a way to do this Tell Art what you want to do I will also email him and get thid idea going"
student1 says, "Ok. i will ask Art about it. othrer laew in a group is this >>if achange is produced i n me, this change surely afefects the all members in a group, it is the same as jewel net."
You say, "This sounds very exciting"
student1 says, "next week i will complete the structure of my thesis, and i will email you when it is finished."
You say, "Yes it definitely has a profound effect and that is how we will affect change in the world; we think alike"
You say, "I look forward to reading your thesis "
student1 says, "other law says that <<if you love our own image, you are able to love your parthners, if you dont respet yourself, the other doenont respet you. the law of cause-efefect in a nonlinear way, not me, not the other have the guilt of any problem, we aare envolved in the same consecuence.>>"
You say, "Let us do this again next week which is the last week of classes for me this semester"
student1 says, "Ok, friend, you propose the date and time to our next connection. "
You say, "What you say is true respect and happiness is an inside job you cannot hope to love or be loved in return if yoy do not love yourself first
You say, "Wenesday at the same time and I promise I will not be late this time 12:00 my time 2:00 your time and again I am sorry I was late this is very important to me"
student1 says, "the first part of integrating in a group is who is in the group?, who participate in a member?, later, who lead this group?, later, Who can talk and interact as a member, and later whoat is the role in a group. the final part is the symbiosis."
student1 says, "Ok, wednesday at 12.00 in your city, 2.00 in mine."
student1 says, "some of the topics in my proyect is the selfvaloration, comunication, interpersonal connecting, motivation, sensibilization, etc. in the practical part pone"
You say, "Sounds good There are many dynamics and problems that can arise in a group process and it is very worthwhile and sometimes very difficult "
student1 says, "in the other part we integrate a discuss panel about hoew to conceptualizate the human being."
You say, "Tell me about sensibilization please"
