The “Journey of the God-Children” and the “Darkness on the Path of Enlightment” – a personal review of transpersonal Crisis-Catalysts in different traditions.
The term “The Godchildren” refers to a quote from Dr. Ingo Benjamin Jahrsetz. It defines people who have been placed in an early stage of life into deep transpersonal and sometimes traumatic experiences. If we follow the statement of the medieval mystic Master Eckhart “Suffering is known the fastest horse to God”; we can clearly build a metaphorical bridge to the Initiation-Crisis and Myths of the shamanic Traditions. Referring to my own biographical and therapeutic experience, from over 18 years of practice activities with people in crisis, I would like to discuss the odds on the path of self-realization, triggered by harrowing transpersonal experiences.
I refer inter alia to the experiences and background of an early near-death-experience and crisis of different types and massive transgenerational Traumas from second world war which finally brought me into the Mystic tradition and in the professional humanistic-transpersonal Field. As transpersonal therapist and supervisor who comes from a modern western culture, I went through the whole process of idealization, de-idealization and integration of ancient healing techniques. The shamanic Traditions and also Gestalttherapy and Theatre helped a lot to express the inexpressible. But during my own processes and the stories of many clients, I realized, that crisis where more often (unconsciously) induced than integrated. This also means emotional and sexual abuse as well as retraumatizations and physical death – which happened, for example – in a group in which I participated in, during a traditional two-week-Ayahuasca-Ceremony in the jungle.
Now it seems to me, that the most important issue in coping with transpersonal crisis as a resource, is preparation, ethics, professional guidance and (systemic cultural) integration. Especially the mindfulness-based meditation and the Holotropic Breathwork™ seem very suitable to guide people in their personal processes without psychedelic substance, or in preparation for psychedelic experiences.

Beyond the Brain - Ultimate Love and Holotropic States of Consciousness
Nothing is so fullpacked with hopes, emotions, ideals, visions and energy as a close relation. And it also brings up to Awareness all the other qualities, which we normally don´t want to have or maybe even don´t feel very much related too: fear, anger, pain, envy, guilt, shame, loss etc. So the Relation is always a risk and a big Chance at the same time. When we see the circumstances under which archetypal or biographical conditions and personal preferences people choose one another it really seems like an “miracle” that one finds another and stays with him for a long time – maybe for a lifetime. Especially the elemental Crisis which often occur sooner or later in close Relationships seem to be really good Catalysts for Breaking through into other States of Awareness and Mindfulness beside the classical western EGO-Structure.
My Thesis for this Presentation is, that “Love” is a – or is related to an – expanded State of Consciousness. For this we “modern Minds” generally need some sort of “Opener”. Often Clients experienced such kind of Opener in personal Crisis or Peak-States which where induced through some sort of spiritual Practice, like Meditation or Yoga, or through Sports and other Everyday-Practices like Walking in Nature. Studies show that close and intimate Relationships by Heart are also a very profound “Opener” for this Expanded Consciousness which can lead into a much bigger Understanding of “Love” that is not exclusive but including Life itself or in general. In our western Tradition we find this Experience quite clearly in the Love-Poems of the Middle-Age-Mystics.
In my presentation I want to investigate Methods and Techniques which are used in the psychotherapeutical Setting and which are suitable for inviting the so called “holotropic States of Consciousness” (Stanislav Grof). I further on want to give a Guideline for Safety and Setting.

Alltagstrance und Selbstsabotage erkennen – DeHypnose & Selbsthypnose
Auf der infomed-Therapeutenfortbildung in München bietet Jörg Fuhrmann einen Workshop in Alltagstrance, Dehypnose & Inner Team Focusing® an:
Milton H. Ericksons Studien kamen zu dem Ergebnis, dass wir uns täglich permanent selbst durch den Alltag “hypnotisieren” und ins Alltagstrance begeben, ohne dass wir dafür ein “Gewahrsein” besitzen, dass dem so ist. Wir halten diese Zustände eben für “normal” und geben damit leider auch ein großes Stück Selbstverantwortung und auch Möglichkeiten zur Selbsterkenntnis aus der Hand. Das Wissen um diese diffizilen Prozesse ist weitaus älter, denn es reicht zurück an den Anbeginn der Zeit. Mir haben selbst viele Schamanen, unterschiedlicher Erdteile, bestätigt, dass die Trance-Induktion und “Hypnose” mit ihr wichtigstes Arbeitswerkzeug sei. Frei nach Bateson: “Wir können nicht Nicht-Hypnotisieren und nicht Nicht-Hypnotisiertwerden.” Aber – und das ist die gute Botschaft dabei: wir können uns auch wieder DeHypnotisieren! Freilich fordern und fördern Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Medien und andere Glaubenssysteme gewisse (kollektive) Formen von Selbsthypnose und Trance-Induktion. Prof. Charles Tart prägte dafür einstmals – im Rahmen der Transpersonalen Psychologie – den Begriff der “Konsensus-Trance”.
Im Kurs am ZIST geht es v.a. um zwei Bereiche:
1.) DeHypnose: Sei nehmen hypnotisch-suggestiv verankerte Manipulationen und Glaubenssätze achtsamer wahr und können diese besser einordnen.
2.) Inner-Team-Focusing® (ITF) & Selbsthypnose: Sie verstehen die damit zusammenhängende Dynamik besser und initiieren Prozesse der Selbst-Transformation.

Tools for Evolution: Knowledge and Practice That Make Us Real.
What prevents us from fulfilling our potential and taking our full advantage of the given opportunities? What might be the reason of the difficulties we experience in our life, our relationship, business?
What prevents us from fulfilling our potential and taking our full advantage of the given opportunities? What might be the reason of the difficulties we experience in our life, our relationship, business?
What are the main reasons of our stress and our problems and what kind of solutions do the great psychologists, the spiritual and art masters offer to us?
What kind of obstacles do we meet in our development?
Why do we seldom achieve our goals?
Why do we often feel unhappy?
Why aren’t we still englightened?
We’re searching for the answers to these questions. The questioning itself implies we are really desperate for the Knowledge.
The number of questions is unlimited and they do cover numerous grounds.But there is one thing in common: they all specify our ways to become more REAL and free from IGNORANCE individuals by means of Knowledge and Development .??
If the main goal is to become REAL applying the true knowledge, then we are to possess the integral view of the way we can develop ourselves in six dimensions of our existence; as far as the knowledge is mostly valuable as a tool for evolution.
What is the human world to become to serve its best for the main goal of our universe-the evolution?
All the spheres of life:medicine, ethics, politics, economics, education, everyday life, business, spirituality, everything serves this goal in this world.
We welcome you to discuss all these issues on the XIX conference of the European transpersonal association called «tools for evolution», that will take place in St.Petersburg, 19-23, September,2018.
