Zusammenfassung: | Mind is very rarely referred to directly and seems to be a taboo subject and when
addressed it is never explained, state the authors of this article. There is a need
to acknowledge its existence which is shown in different shapes by shamanism,
religions, mysticism, philosophies and mathematics and pre-empts them. Like a red
thread, the mind runs through the history of humankind and undergoes a universal law
of dualities which it is the function of the mind to disentangle and synthesise. As
the way to our mind is the mind itself, the authors regard psychotherapy as
providing a unique philosophy of its own, which presupposes a new approach to the
whole philosophy. Never has the Mind been taken as so central to healing and by the
same token participation in the Median Group is evidently therapeutic. |
