Invitation

dear fellow human beings,

this is an initiative and an invitation to form a working group: holistic development.

why? because at the latest since we as human beings have not only been busy surviving, but also formulating questions, stories and myths about existence, meaning and origin, it has become clear that a major developmental step is imminent for human beings:

to develop and accept an awareness, for our own role and responsibility, which we could gain through our existence, in order to keep life in balance as far as possible on this planet and to experience it freely.
but now it turns out that we are not walking figures of light who intuitively make good decisions for ourselves and our environment through strength, courage and wisdom. rather, we seem to be very susceptible to egocentric power structures and find it difficult to perceive, let alone balance, our greed and ignorant stupidity. with these mostly unconscious characteristics, we destroy the basis of much life on this planet in the long term, and that is at least a pity, if not completely unnecessary.

in order to find a more conscious orientation and to turn the seemingly polar realities into a resonant dance, i am initiating this working group.

it feels like the world is coming to an end - whether it always has or always will or still does not play a decisive role for us here in space and time - and apart from the usefulness of the cause, i personally believe that working together could also be great fun and oracle it somehow tautologically as extremely meaningful and potentially development-promoting. moreover, i believe that positive development can only arise from a community and is only conditionally dependent on isolated individuals.

the aim of the working group is to bring people, in their respective structures, into a development space that has lasting positive effects on life on earth. no matter how I turn it around or change the global political perspective: that is and remains a good, maybe somewhat ambitious goal. but:

changing the world starts within us and we can only do it together.

some of my skills lie in the psychotherapeutic field, but i believe that a broader exchange between different disciplines would be very valuable for this project, if not the basis for it. 

to summarize again:
the idea of the working group is to bring people together and talk in an interdisciplinary way about the development space that we dream of for living together in our society. in the best case, it should not only be about thinking together in utopian terms, but also about creating realistic perspectives of what a society should look like that can develop while taking fundamental (spiritual) elements into account. from this, recommendations for action and decision-making aids can then be drawn up that can be implemented both on a small scale by individuals and communities and can also lead to holistic development for society as a whole. 

everything is already there. let's use this abundance and create something new through our community. it sounds paradoxical for a moment, but it's not... or is it?
in this sense, see you soon

basic assumptions

the basic assumptions that characterize my attitude are as follows:

1) acceptance that humans are a part of nature and cannot be considered separately from it.

2) saving/changing the world begins within you. social systems are shaped by individuals and individuals are shaped by social systems. the social system can only be influenced by the individual to a limited extent, but if many small people, in many small places, take many small steps - for example within themselves - the role that people currently play on this planet can change and thus, in the long term, the fundamental system in which actual decisions are made. you matter in the context of we

3) human experience is shaped by the interplay of psyche (mind and emotions including unconscious parts), body (instinct including unconscious parts) and interaction with the outside world (including the collective (un)conscious) we as humans strive to connect these elements in order to be able to experience ourselves intuitively. unconscious pain 🙈 🙉 🙊 stands in the way of this process and ensures the reproduction of painful patterns.

intuition arises when these components are actually brought into connection with each other (the spontaneous connection between psyche and body or perhaps also the interface to a spiritual level)

> our body is the most important instrument of our experience. our most material home.
> a holistic view of the human being focuses on a mindful and appreciative approach to body, psyche and intuition and pays attention to a more balanced interaction between these 4 equal centers of consciousness (mind, emotion, instinct and intuition)

4) life can be understood as a dance between different polarities in the midst of which we seek orientation. fundamentally, it can be observed that people have been trying to find solutions to the suffering that arises from life since the beginning of time and seek people, places and professions in which they can experience connection. if there is no access to connection, new suffering arises. although this dynamic can be influenced, it can never be experienced only one-sidedly, as suffering and joy arise through the experience of life and cannot exist independently of each other.

> suffering should therefore ideally not be repressed in the long term, but experienced and categorized. this is therefore not a springboard for fantasies of bliss within the experience of life that we have. with the help of our perception, awareness can arise for the polarities - certainly countless - within which we experience ourselves, so that the phases of suffering are shortened and less unconscious new suffering arises through repression.

finding balance in polar perceptions is crucial. balance arises between and in movement in all directions, not at a standstill. if life is understood as a dance in which we can always find a balance. if we stopped there, it would no longer be a holistic experience, but knowing this place changes everything. you already know it too, it is the point where qualities of the center are experienced, for example sharing, devotion, benevolence, wisdom, real self-love and well-being.

one of the most fundamental polarities is that between inside and outside. by this i mean above all the connection we as individuals can feel with ourselves and the kind of connection we experience with the outside. finding a balance between these two poles is a life task for many people.

5) making conscious decisions means becoming aware of your holistic experience and allowing this recognition to flow into the decision-making process. in every moment of my life, i am a living being made up of mind, emotion, intuition and instinct (at least :.) if i can assign my motivation to these areas, i can see more clearly where i am orienting myself and whether this corresponds to my true needs or whether imbalances arise. here i put forward a hypothesis: people want to feel connected and here again a balance is sought between connection with oneself and connection with the outside. this is a really impossible task in the world we live in, but if we are in the process of changing the world, maybe it will be possible in the future....

6) deconstruction of violent power structures. i have a feeling about this and it has occurred to me, but to be honest i don't have a good model ready yet and i am dependent on the support and assessment of the working group. i have neither studied sociology nor philosophy, let alone politics or history, but i could imagine that some thoughts on the subject have already been discussed from these disciplines.
with regard to intrapsychic processes - my area of specialization - i have learned that we usually attribute a certain power to the mind or emotions, especially in decision-making processes and bodily experiences, which often results in the reproduction of unnecessary suffering. a more balanced experience, however, creates the basis for sustainable good, intuitive decisions and experiences. a relative absence of the discriminating intellect seems to have a healing effect on the human organism. i would like to see this kind of balance not only at the individual level, but also in relation to larger systems.

what could alternative structures of responsibility be? how can solidary social decisions be made? how can we develop our current system so that unnecessary suffering is not continually reproduced?

7) use language to create clarity. language is first and foremost the means of our mind to make ourselves understood, but do we manage to use it in the same way? where is the difference between sensation, feeling and sensing or between instinct and intuition? what is the ego/ego/self? is sensation and experience the same thing? why is differentiation really important and what can it change? ultimately, language is also about finding a way of consciously dealing with it and giving words clear meanings so that we can make ourselves understood in order to consciously establish connection or separation. in any case, we can make an effort...

our language enables us to create connections and at the same time is also a frequent source of serious misunderstandings. it is a difficult task to create inner and outer clarity in order to make ourselves understood. often the words found impulsively are obvious at first glance, but not necessarily accurate. 
language is a very important topic and part of the task of this working group could be to take a closer look at it. i am obviously not an expert...

8) flexibility, spontaneity and a willingness to make mistakes are also necessary when dealing with the basic assumptions. there is no one way, but at the same time bringing together different elements helps to create a general basic understanding.

so this is just a serving suggestion.

so far.

a possible destination 

ha! i have to laugh a bit myself. i can think of many possible destinations. so there are some things here... 

• enlightened individuals. 
• a more conscious society that is prepared to find a balance between the needs of individuals and the needs of society. to achieve this, it is certainly necessary to rethink some of the privileges or redistribute resources. 
• to create connention. 
• to be able to make decisions more consciously, for a future in which human life on this planet is also possible.

and of course to slowly but surely save the world with our small steps and to change it for sure, hopefully towards more solidarity and equality!

why?

simply put, i hope that the experiences that individuals make in unum ta panta will have a snowball effect. unum ta panta sounds like a utopia and it still is. however, i can imagine that this utopia will become reality in the future. 
me and you, we will not experience this in our lifetime, but i wish it for life here on our planet after our time and i am ready to lay the foundation for it, but i can't do it alone. it can only be done together.

and we can only do it together...
is the text i am writing, which should offer any interested person a possible basis for in-depth self-exploration. it also contains the theoretical foundations of a new holistic therapeutic approach that combines many previous methods, which i would very much like to explore scientifically.
