What's wrong with me, will I end up old and alone as so many do? It should not have to be this way for anybody.<br /> I was also reminded of the first time I came in contact with a person into Primal, about 40 years ago.I used to hang around this New Age centre that offered courses in all sorts of alternative methods of healing. One day, this guy who I had seen around there a while, came up to me and confided that he secretly wore women's clothes sometimes (not as a transvestite).I did not laugh at him or flee in any way, but just listened. To this day, I am moved that he felt he could confide such a secret to me. Unfortunately there was nothing I could do for him. At one point, there was a special day of activities where representatives of various therapeutic systems could present their stuff to an audience, and he demonstrated what a Primal was apparently. He was thrashing and writhing away, and I did not know what to make of it. I don't know if it was a Primal, or an abreaction, or maybe just some faking.I knew little about Primal at that point.I doubt he had been to Los Angeles at the Primal centre of the time, so all this "Primalling" probably came from some mock primalist(s) in the Ontario area at the time. And , oh yeah, then came the weirdo rebirthers in Montreal afterwards (early 80s), whom I felt skeptical about even before I read Janov's critiques of them. That story is for another time.<br /><br />MarcoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-64038606307056178922016-05-03T12:23:04.224-07:002016-05-03T12:23:04.224-07:00I just wanna be myself.

I noticed in the video that the...Hi Art & all,<br /><br />I noticed in the video that the Vietnam vet said understanding Primal Theory was key to healing in the process. This theme has cropped up many times on the blog. But why not? I mean, he's right, because the whole point 'in' evolution is to evolve a process whereby the organism can maintain a defense and a balance despite / inspite of the 'environmental impacts'. This requires a passage in time, a 'reprieve'. That is how evolution works. But after you've mastered that repreive. . .<br /><br />Yet I sense there are two aspects, there is the original 1st line 'imprint' and then there is the 2nd line interpretation of it. In the 'descent' the order is essential but the content doesn't matter, the dreams and images are not 'it'. It's the feelings and sensations, the 'resonance down' that's significant. The feelings are the flavour (the smell, the scent) of the connection, of the 'access'. <br /><br />Thus why words never can be the medium for the access.<br /><br />Paul G.<br /><br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006514330039884557noreply@blogger.com
