SACRED MATRIX by Deiter Duhm, founder, Poly Zegg Communities
in Germany & Portugal, followed by a confluent exercise by Sasha Lessin, Ph.D.
Duhm quote was forwarded by Kelly Bryson. Kelly presents
experientials based on Duhm's work in his Sacred Matrix workshops.
"The unity of the organism is achieved by the individuality and
difference of the organs. In other words, it is only WHEN THE FULL
INDIVIDUALITY OF THE MEMBERS IS DEVELOPED that a HEALTHY COMMUNITY
CAN EMERGE.
"Community and individual are not opposites; they are prerequisites
for each other. The PREREQUISITE FOR A UNIVERSAL COMMUNITY IS AN
AUTONOMOUS INDIVIDUAL, AND THE PREREQUISITE FOR AN AUTONOMOUS
INDIVIDUAL IS A COMMUNITY. That is the natural order in the building
plan of Creation.
"The structure of future survival-adaptive communities is always
connected to the self-development of the individuals involved. The
more they develop their individuality and the less they let
themselves be ruled by preconceived dogmas and false authorities, the
easier it is for them to recognize their chances of development in
the community.
"At some point a deep process of INDIVIDUATION LEADS ALL HUMAN BEINGS
TO NOT SEE THEMSELVES AS private persons, but as ORGANIC ELEMENTS OF
A HUMAN COMMUNITY. For IT IS THROUGH INDIVIDUATION THAT HUMAN BEINGS
EXPERIENCE NOT ONLY WHAT SEPARATES THEM FROM OTHERS, BUT ALSO WHAT
CONNECTS THEM AT A MUCH DEEPER LEVEL. They dare to rediscover and
accept this.
"Without individuation a healthy organism cannot develop. Instead we
get conforming collectivism in which individual differences are not
promoted but instead suppressed. Collectivistic systems do not
tolerate individual autonomy. Instead, both toward the inside and the
outside, they fight everything that does not fit into their ideology.
"THE SACRED MATRIX IS THE ORIGINAL, TRANS-HISTORICAL, NON-ALIENATED,
COSMIC, AND DIVINE MATRIX OF UNIVERSAL LIFE. According to the plan of
Creation for the human being, we are to realize it on earth. It is
not a dream, but a deep, deep memory that wells up inside of us when
we touch the Sacred, and THIS MEMORY KEEPS RE-CREATING OUR YEARNING.
For the sake of truth we cannot but find and follow the content of
this yearning in its entirety, for the yearning that is recognized
and not suppressed or sentimentalized is the signpost that leads us
to our sacred home.
"There can be no peace on earth, as long as there is war in love. The
five thousand year history of the patriarchal era is a history of a
war between the sexes, and the war has not ended yet. The five
thousand year long battle against the female world is the most cruel
chapter in human history to date. We will not be able to develop
fundamental peace concepts for the earth and human beings, until we
understand this fight and its insane results in society and within
ourselves. It is a primary task for all future projects to activate
all energy to LIBERATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SEXES, AND ALL
LOVERS, FROM THE TABOOS, PREJUDICES AND CRUELTIES OF A MAD ERA.
"A new non-violent and loving culture is rooted substantially in a
new loving and non-violent relationship between the sexes. This is a
point we cannot neglect in the new concepts for ecology, spirituality
and healing, if we want to achieve realistic solutions. THERE CAN BE
NO HEALTHY ECOLOGY WITHOUT HEALTHY AND FULFILLED SEXUALITY. We all
came into being through a sexual connection between man and woman.
Sexuality is the biological source of our life, it is truly "issue
#1, since we all exist in the body. A disruption of sexuality is a
disruption of the entire organism. Almost all illnesses in Western
society are at least partly caused by a disruption of the sexual
energy balance, and most emotional and psychosomatic illnesses of our
times are rooted in unresolved problems in the area of love between
the sexes. Many more people die each year from unresolved love
conflicts than from car accidents, and these, too, often have the
same background. AS LONG AS THE SEXES DO NOT FIND FULFILLMENT IN
LOVE, THEY MUST COMPENSATE THIS LACK THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT,
CONSUMERISM, STATUS, POWER, ADDICTIONS, AND WAR. THESE ARE THE
FOUNDATIONS OF OUR CURRENT CAPITALIST WORLD SOCIETY.
"Some prerequisites for a future free of violence is that the war
between the sexes be put to an end, that MAN BE LIBERATED FROM HIS
SECRET SEXUAL ANXIETIES AND FEELINGS OF INADEQUACY, THAT WOMAN BE
RECONNECTED WITH HER ORIGINAL POWER SOURCES AND HER CENTRAL TASKS IN
THE HUMAN COMMUNITY, AND FINALLY THAT BOTH BE LIBERATED FROM THEIR
DELUSION THAT JEALOUSY IS PART OF LOVE.
"Man and woman are the two polar halves of the one human being. They
must now come together in such a way that they "fit", so that they
might find the permanent fulfillment that is an inherent part of the
emotional and bodily love between the sexes. Here, we can no longer
avoid confronting certain carefully thought-out concepts about free
will in love relationships. Love and sexuality are universal powers
of life; in a universal society of peace they can no longer be
forcibly bound to one single person, nor can they be surrounded by
private fences.
"IN A UNIVERSAL CULTURE OF PEACE, FREE LOVE AND COMMITTED
PARTNERSHIPS do no exclude each other. Instead THEY ARE MUTUALLY
DEPENDENT AND COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER. The old patterns of
sexual "faithfulness" and jealousy are based on distrust between the
sexes.
"The deepest freedom, which lies at THE HEART OF ALL FREEDOM, IS THE
FREEDOM OF LOVE BETWEEN THE SEXES. This is the source of a new ethic
and a new order, in which human beings no longer need to deny their
own selves and hide from others. This freedom leads to a genuine,
powerful, and nonviolent joy of life. (Whether the choice is monogamy
or not) This is of central importance in the concrete utopia that we
now must bring to life. Communities of the future and projects for a
new way of life can only function in the long term if their members
know and understand the principle of freedom, if they know that it is
not in opposition to an ethic of faithfulness and responsibility, and
if they know that one is allowed to follow it. In order for this new
force to develop, we need an encompassing environment of freedom and
community. All forms of ideology or group pressure are
counterproductive when it comes to such deep changes in our core
areas. This is true for our erotic as well as for our mental and
spiritual sources."
INNER MALE & FEMALE MEDIATED BY YOUR CENTER by Sasha Lessin, Ph.D.
Based on Stone, H. & Winkelman, S., Embracing Our Selves, and
Embracing Each Other both 1989, New World Library: San Rafael).
Do this experiential with a partner
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GUIDING PARTNER. Read your partner the
cues in bold print aloud. Exception: read words in square brackets
[like this] silently. Give your partner a few breaths' time to
respond aloud where you see asterisks (***). If your partner doesn't
respond to a cue-sentence, pause several breaths and read the cue
again.
Address your partner's inner voices respectfully,
appreciatively; do not push his or her limits. Use these cues as
suggestions; feel free to improvise. Start now, reading aloud:
Sit on this cushion; it'll be the position for your Center
(Aware Ego), the place from which you hear all your inner voices.
Tell me about the way you present your masculine or feminine
voice–whichever is primary to you, to the world. What's this voice
like and what does it do for you. ***
Shift your cushion to a new position, a position for that
Primary, that main voice. [Wait till your partner actually moves;
use the name (eg: Mr. Yang, Ms Aphrodite, etc.) your partner uses for
the Primary, where you see the word "Primary" below].
Hi. Embody that Primary voice and tell me who you are and
what your job is. ***
When did your life start? How long have you been around?
What's your history as [partner name]'s Primary? ***
Tell me, Primary, what vulnerable voices you protect? ***
What contributions have you, as [partner name]'s
Primary, made to [partner name]? What would you like to be
acknowledged and appreciated for? ***
Thank you, I liked talking with you. Would you let
[partner name] return to the Aware Ego position? ***
[Wait till your partner moves] Hi, Aware Ego. Tell your
observations on the voice you just embodied. ***
Tell me about the other voice in the inner male
(animus)/inner female(anima) within you. ***
Move your cushion to a position for that voice. [Wait till
your partner moves] Become this second voice, Voice 2. As Voice 2,
say how you are, what you do for [partner's name] and what
you'd like to be appreciated for. ***
Thank you, I liked talking with you. Would you let
[partner name] return to the Aware Ego position? ***
[When your partner has spoken as each of the voices (or
described vulnerable voices from the Aware Ego position) for which
you have time, say] Stand behind me, facing the spaces you occupied
for your voices as I summarize the things you said as each. Feel
each voice's energy from the perspective of neutral observer.
[Summarize what your partner said in each space.]
Return to the Aware Ego place and tell me what you learned.
***
How can you–in both your inner life and relations with other
people-- better recognize, accept, coordinate and synthesize your
inner male and inner female? ***
