Discoveries in Maslow

[Stanley Park]

Doug,

Good pick!

I'd like to share this with others...

The secret is hidden in the enlightening understanding that love, hatred,
and whatsoever emanate from within, I think. Short of that understanding
life becomes less lovable or even worse: somthing to hate about.

And practicing emancipation of True Self leads to Spacious self-fullfilment
and communal-fulfillmen as we all cherish being together in the Open Space.

With All My Love,

Hi--

For the last few days I have been reading Maslow and finding a lot of
insights into OST. From today's reading:

                Pilot experiment: Unquantified observation from
                two-year-long experiments with group therapy: both the
                college boys and the college girls in general looked
                more beautiful or handsome both to me and to the
                participants themselves (and actually became more
                beautiful, attractive as measured by the judgment of
                strangers) because of increased self-love and
                self-respect and increased pleasure in pleasing the
                group members (out of increased love for them). In
                general, if we stress the uncovering aspect of therapy,
                then whatever it reveals was there already in some
                sense. Therefore, whatever emerges or is revealed by
                uncovering therapy is very likely to be constitutionally
                or temperamentally or genetically intrinsic to the
                organism;i.e., its essence, its deepest reality, is
                biologically given. Abraham H. Maslow, The Farther
                Reaches of Human Nature, p 139

Wow! This might explain some of what happens in OST: increased self respect
leading to better ideas, better perhaps in the sense of simplicity,
elegance, beauty. OS leads to beautiful people: how's that for high
performance?

Have you noticed anything akin to this?

What is the "uncovering aspect" in opening space?
