Life Coaches
Lilydale and Rain , by Like No. 90 (Rain is the one on the left) —
A perhaps more useful coach . . .
Some prose by Harrington —
| By 1956, Fromm was dining at Suzuki’s part-time home in New York City, and talking with him about ways in which Zen could contribute to a wholesale reimagining of psychoanalytic therapeutics and theory (see Friedman and Schreiber 2013). By this time, also, Fromm was himself spending considerable periods of time at a new home in Cuernavaca, Mexico. At one point he suggested that Suzuki consider moving in with him permanently. When Suzuki politely declined, Fromm conceived instead a major conference based in Mexico that would try to take stock of the entire current state of the conversation between Zen and psychotherapy (see Friedman and Schreiber 2013). In 1957, some fifty psychotherapists—double the original expected number—participated in a week of presentations and discussions. Fromm later recalled the event as a magical time: what began as a traditional conference with the usual ‘over-emphasis on thoughts and words' changed over a few days, as people 'became more concentrated and more quiet.' |
See as well a web page on what is now called "shadow work" —
an activity completely different from the "shadow work" described
some years ago by Ivan Illich, the so-called "Prophet of Cuernavaca."

Seeking the Path: The Way Up and the Way Down
From the Aug. 30 post "A Brief Introduction to Ideas,"
an epigraph from Four Quartets —
Another view of the way up and the way down:
"Of course, presentation of the effect in the cause
is exactly what blending the Buddhist Monk's
two journeys provides. The cause is the dynamics
of the two input journeys; the effect is the existence
of a location on the path they occupy at the same time
of day. In the blend, the location and the encounter are
presented directly as part of the causal dynamics of motion."
— Page 78 in The Way We Think: Conceptual Blending ,
by Fauconnier and Turner, Basic Books, 2002.

Adventures in Mix-and-Match Reality . . .
Continued from September 8 .
The New York Times yesterday —
“Art is another way to try to exercise your imagination
at connecting incongruous things,” Anthony Doerr said.
“It’s a way to say, hey, reader, let’s work together and
practice and train our imagination to connect things
that you don’t readily think of as connected.”
