FEPTO Article

[Edward Schreiber]

Greetings,
I was asked (among a few others) to write an article for FEPTO, which  
is the organization of European Trainers.
I thought I would share the article here for our side of the ocean.
Best,

Ed


Shiva and the ASGPP

The St. Louis Conference was intimate but small.  The new Executive  
Council is working very hard and the management team hired by the  
ASGPP was stellar in offering recommendations for the resolution of  
ASGPP organizational issues. The status reminds me of the presence of  
Shiva, the deity in the Hindu tradition that represents both the  
force of creation and the force of destruction.  Shiva is that aspect  
of the Godhead that represents a coming apart and something new  
emerging. The autumn follows the summer; spring follows the winter. A  
relationship ends and something new emerges in one’s life.  Sickness  
and death happens and a new birth begins. And so it might be with the  
ASGPP. With a declining membership and attendance at conferences,  
Life is showing the ASGPP, the conserve, a mirror - a reflection of  
what it has become.  Our capacity to look and see that mirror in a  
way that evokes the force of creativity is an opportunity arising.  
This organizational moment reflects a similar time in American life  
as well, a sociatric microcosm of the process of a regeneration of  
itself.  We know from Moreno there are two sociatric forces at play  
and being revealed: the sociodynamic effect and the social-organic  
unity of humankind.  This is our task: the renewal of the social- 
organic unity and the reversal of the sociodynamic effect. This  
reflects humanity’s awakening to and a dedication toward the  
Intelligence that animates all life and form, rather than to an  
attachment to form itself. Behind the clinical method we know of,  
there is a modern day Mystery School no longer a mystery, with  
Sociatry realized as codes and formulas for humanity’s regeneration  
and renewal. The IAGP Granada Summer Academy, a model for deep  
learning, and our European colleagues, have much to share with us in  
the creation, rebuilding and renewal of our organization. We are  
pioneers as Moreneans, for the benefit of all of humankind, at this  
critical time in human history.  I welcome hearing from you!
