Miksi avoin kirje? Koska aihe minusta hyödyllinen kaikille.
Miksi Jonselle? Koska epäilen, ettei ketään muuta kiinnosta.
Luin uusimmasta Psychology Today -lehdestä Peter Sellarsin haastattelun. Tässä muutamia otteita, joiden uskon kiinnostavan sinua.
"You've expressed relief that the 20th century, which you've called the century of psychology and the self, is over."
For me, one of the biggest issues is the pathologizing of everything, rather than simply recognizing that life crises are supposed to happen. Painkillers are one of the most intense things about this hyper, self-serving Western culture. The Navajo say that pain is a guide, a teacher. It's trying to tell you something: When your hand is in that open flame, please remove it. If you keep your hand in the flame but take the painkiller, you miss the deal.
...
How much you love your grandmother cannot be quantified and cannot be bought and sold and has a whole other value structure. The year's subject was the non-cash economy - everything that we don't do for money. My mission was, "Turn your back on the money and walk towards your life."
"Are there people with whom you cannot connect?"
I'm trained in the tradition of community organizing, where you go with the most troubled spirit in the room. The whole point in my life's work is "Go with the problem, not around it." As Rumi would say, the wound is where the light enters. You have to give the meeting over to the person who wants to disrupt it and destroy it. You have to reverse the energy flow and, again, not pathologize.
...
You find out who you are exactly when you're in free-fall and have no way to stop yourself. That is the moment when you become yourself. We're at our least human when we're successful and telling people how successful we are. It's obnoxious. It's horrible! I'm not sure how comfortable I am buying into the term "schizophrenia" at the end of the day. Anybody who claims they're normal - that's the first sign of his psychosis. The assumption of what normal is drives me crazy and shows a limited acquaintance with the human being.
