' This is what we feed our sickest population.

It’s basically a blend of water, synthetic sugar, corn starch and inflammatory oils.

Tell me why the above ingredients and antifreeze need to be in our nutritional supplements and thickened liquids? '

Cathy Bernatt shared, ' This... '

' There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable.

There is a sorrow
beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.

There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.

There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open
to the place inside which is unbreakable
and whole,
while learning to sing.

' Dear friends, (this is another message from me, Amy)
Today, when I was deeply missing Arny’s physical presence, I looked at a book I made for him on his 80th birthday called, “The Process Way”. The book is filled with photos and some of Arny’s spontaneous ideas, paintings, and public posts. Arny adored the book and looked at it often in recent months and over the last years.
This afternoon, it was hot on the coast and the windows in our house were open. I put the book down on a table and suddenly, it blew open to a page with one of Arny’s paintings and his words on it (see the photo). I felt he wanted me, and perhaps all of us, to see it.
The page reminded me of something Arny has often said – that we should not identify him (or anyone) only with their body and static identity, but to remember that we are also timeless, flowing processes (you can sense this in Arny’s wonderful painting.)
I then remembered another one of his quotes in the book which says, “We are timeless, thousands of years old, and involved with processes which go beyond our present identity. This gives us an eternal feeling, but one which is realizable right here in the moment. "
I was very comforted by this and hope you are as well.

In the Intuitive Network, we build bridges between communities — and between community members. We help everyone (everywhere) to recognize, get to know, and collaborate with one another even in the midst of great challenges and uncertainty.

Our arts immersions are group process activities and community spaces where someone experiencing intensity, invisibility, disablement, or ongoing violence (of any kind) can be increasingly heard, cared for, respected, honored, and understood.

We help communities to deepen resilience and integrity through connecting with the most severely affected people and living beings who are part of the body of that community — growing long-lasting relationships, regenerative nourishment, and powerful roots.

' I did my masters degree in Jungian psychology at the Process Work Institute of Portland in large part because of Arnold Mindell's approach to psychiatry.

There's a lot to learn from here, for example:

"Process Work does not consider a symptom something to be overcome, but an aspect of the personality in need of integration."
Mindell, City Shadows, p. 77

"... a severely withdrawn state or apparently crazy word-salad is not a biological defect, but a highly ordered and reasonable condition expressing a crucial message."
Mindell,"Psychological Interventions in Psychiatry" Journal of Process Oriented Psychology

"...symptoms are not necessarily pathological, that is, they are not just sicknesses which must be healed, repressed, or cured. Symptoms are potentially meaningful and purposeful conditions. They could be the beginning of fantastic phases of life, or they could bring one closer to the center of existence. They can also be a trip to another world, as well as a royal road into the development of the personality."
Mindell, Working With the Dreaming Body, p.3

"...one of the basic assumptions of psychiatry, that disease entities are 'caused' by specific chemical imbalances, has not, until present, been verifiable."
Mindell, City Shadows, p.16

"In spite of increasing sophistication in research and the interconnection between chemistry and psychotic behavior, there is still no one-to-one cause and effect relationship between disease agents and cures. The applicability of disease definitions based, to a great extent, upon the experiences of a given society seems to be a dangerous definition of a 'physical' disease."
Mindell, City Shadows, p.18

"The mental health sciences are in the midst of a typical 'pre-science' stage of development characterized by either too many or insufficient paradigms."
Mindell, City Shadows, p.20

"Almost all psychiatric textbooks speak of mental diseases in terms of 'disintegration of the personality' and 'unbalanced and chaotic states.' Such descriptions are based upon the unexpressed assumption that the ideal person is able to correspond to the statistical average, and this average is taken as a measure of order, balance, harmony and health. Thus, it seems as if individuals going through psychotic states appear as the chaos and disorder for a culture with a particular idea of order and sanity. This black/white, polar classification of the human being lies at the root of DSM III, which only weakly tolerates the concept of a wellness- not wellness continuum of inner experiences."
Mindell, City Shadows, p.12.

"Instead of immediately diagnosing this or that condition, it is challenging and rewarding to ask what people going through these states are trying to inform me about, and why I am not able to understand them. When I forget to ask these questions, I find myself assuming there is something wrong with them."
Mindell,"Psychological Interventions in Psychiatry" Journal of Process Oriented Psychology

"Diseases are frequently formulated by the client as enemies to be overcome. Many who experience their symptoms discover them to be purposeful expressions of the human unconscious which are searching for more more expression. People are, a priori, neither ill nor well in the process paradigm. ...Being sick is a primary description of a secondary process disturbing us."
Mindell, City Shadows, p.24 '
