Kerrith 06-26-2006, 07:44 PM I'd be more than happy to talk with a victim (no fee) who wishes to complete an incident with an offender. What we'd do is go over the curriculum it takes for one to go through to mutual satisfaction the completion process. The discussions would give you a language to use in formulating such an intention. The completion conversations are extremely difficult to have in writing, in part because the mind is programmed to resist points of views that threaten its survival. For example: I will write something and your mind, not you, will disagree/argue with it and simply quit the conversation. This of course would not feel good to me. It would in fact be abusive to me, the facilitator, and as such it would have an undesirable consequence for you, in short giving you yet another incident to eventually have to clean up through to mutual satisfaction. Completing an incident responsibly can best be described as a course in communication mastery. It transcends all that we've been taught in schools about communication. Completing an incident in which you were the victim, completing it so that you can describe the incident responsibly, from cause, is so alien to the mind that the process literally blows the mind. You must be willing to complete your personal relationship. That is to say, the conversations it takes to communicate responsibly about an incident can cause those who presently relate with you to no longer find you compatible. You will find yourself becoming aware of your addictions and you will no longer support (feel comfortable in the presence of) those who communicate from victim and blame. In other words, if your spouse isn't willing to do the completion process with you, then don't begin it. The completion process begins with you being willing to manufacture a huge lie. It's best to begin as though you are an author writing a story. The story is about a person who was so unconscious that they didn't know that they caused (sometime unconsciously intended) what people said and did to them. They had operated from victim and blame their entire life. On top of that, they had become stuck in arrogance, pooh-poohing karma, the effects of ones actions/communications. They arrogantly thought they could make life work without having to clean up their childhood lies, thefts, deceptions, shunnings, and abuses. Their integrity was so out, from a lifetime of unacknowledged perpetrations, that they could no longer experience guilt. The story continues with you being willing to fabricate (remember this is a huge lie that you're merely trying on for size) that you intended for the perpetrator to do it to you (no matter how unconscious you may have been at the time). You can now see that there was a genius at work. It could be said that you had to bring the perpetrator into your life to mirror you. Notice that it's already forcing you to re-examine your definition of the word responsibility. It's accelerating your quest for enlightenment. If the above excites you then feel free to Goggle me ("Kerrith H. (Kerry) King") and post a message. Four requirements: 1) You must be able to tell me that you have not been in communication with a person addicted to abuse for six months in a row. 2) You must wait a period of three months from completing any therapy/counseling sessions. Or, you may tell your therapist that you'll be taking a three month recess from sessions. Keep in mind, communication skills coaching is an educational process. It is not therapeutic, religious, or political. 3) If you belong to a church you must first request counseling from your pastor. It's essential that you support your church, your religion, in working for you and others, or, ask your paster to unenroll as a member of your church. 4) If you are an alcoholic you must have mastered drinking and can now have one or two drinks a week, and no immediate friend/relative wishes you would stop drinking. If you attend AA meetings then you must not have had a drink for 12 months in a row. The same goes for other mind altering drugs/medications. With aloha, Kerrith H.
