Most of us are terrified of conflict, says Arnold Mindell, PhD, author
of fifteen books and internationally recognized for his innovative
synthesis of Jungian therapy, dreams, and bodywork. But we needn't be.
His burning passion is to create groups and organizations where
everyone looks forward to group processes instead of fearing them. He
calls this the deep democracy of open forums, where all voices,
thoughts, and feelings are aired freely, especially the ones nobody
wants to hear. Since 1992, one of Mindell's prime interests has been
the bringing of deeper awareness to group conflicts. Conflict work
without reference to altered states of consciousness is like a flu
shot for someone in a manic or depressed state of consciousness. Most
group and social problems cannot be well facilitated or resolved
without access to the dreamlike and mystical atmosphere in the
background. The key is becoming aware of it. Mindell introduces a new
paradigm for working in groups, from 3 to 3,000, based on awareness of
the flow of signals and events. You can take the subtlest of signals
indicating the onset of emotions such as fear, anger, hopelessness,
and other altered states, and use them to transform seemingly
impossible problems into uplifting community experiences. As Mindell
explains, "I share how everyone--people in schools and organizations,
communities and governments--can use inner experiences, dreaming, and
mysticism, in conjunction with real methods of conflict management, to
produce lively, more sustainable, conscious communities."
