TIMELINE
In a world that is rapidly exceeding politically-denied limitations, those who see what is actually going on may at first be perceived as 'the enemy'. This is 'normal' for transformation. The first groups to change are the 'imaginal cells' - the vanguard of what is emerging.
Evolving the next thing is not a comfortable job. How can you continue being yourself in a system that reacts as if your uniqueness is a dangerous virus? How can you deliver the crucial services you came here to provide if your true calling is neither recognized nor understood?
Soon, clumps of imaginal cells find each other and come together forming next culture - archearchy - the culture naturally emerging now that matriarchy and patriarchy have run their course.
"For forty-five years the first explorers of Possibility Management seriously considered these questions. By now there are enclaves of Possibility Management Edgeworkers around the world helping each other upgrade from the self-crippling thoughtware provided by the modern capitalist patriarchal empire."

ROOTS
'ROOTS' are the traditions out of which Possibility Management has gradually emerged.
Possibility Management is an evolving body of thoughtware upgrades, transformational distinctions, emotional healing processes, and authentic adulthood /archetypal initiations. This context is being explored and delivered by a growing community of practitioners and Trainers. The context of Possibility Management is Radical Responsibility.
The Bright Principles of Possibility Management are Clarity, Possibility, and Love.
It turns out that Possibility Management is thoughtware for next culture - archearchy - the culture that is naturally emerging after matriarchy and patriarchy have run their course. Possibilitators are bridge builders to archearchy. You are probably a Possibilitator.
Anyone discovering Possibility Management now is leaping onto a moving train. You are connecting into a living organism that ongoingly becomes more aware of itself and weaves stronger and more usable bridges to archearchy since 1998.
Possibility Management was not born in America. It was born in Europe, over two decades ago, in many ways out of nothing. Yet there are strong contributing elements to become aware of. Possibility Management thrives in its own lineage of traditions. It has its own context and generates its own field. Yet we also stand on the shoulders of - and use the gifts of - so many courageous edgeworking researcher geniuses who have gone before us.
We have recently realized that without special efforts, the lineages, history, and legends - which are so familiar to the 'old rabbits' of Possibility Management - may remain invisible to the 'new rabbits' who are just now coming around. Yet understanding the origins of the Possibility Management gameworld is integral to its richness. For this reason we open the doors to this Museum of Possibility Management free for public viewing, a copyleft open-code contribution to the Creative Commons.
Here we proudly introduce you to the central contributors to the soil out of which Possibility Management sprang forth.
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff
During the first half of the 1900s, George Gurdjieff offered a small Circle of students in Paris special practices for Splitting Attention, paying attention to your attention, Noticing what you notice, Noticing what you notice with, becoming Present as a Being, and entering the Waking State. Gurdjieff taught that most humans do not possess a unified consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic 'waking sleep', but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. Gurdjieff described a method attempting to do so, calling the discipline 'The Work' (connoting 'work on oneself').
In the books: Meetings With Remarkable Men (also Peter Brooks' excellent film of the same name), Gurdjieff's Early Talks, Life Is Real Only Then When I Am, and so on, Gurdjieff added important experiential distinctions for inhabiting the Energetic Body (one of Possibility Management's 5 Bodies. These distinctions are further communicated by a number of authors, notably The Reality Of Being, by Jeanne de Salzmann. Somehow many of the practical tools and distinctions have found their way into the Context of Possibility Management.
Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii
As a ten-year student of Gurdjieff, 'P. D. Ouspensky' found ways to further explain Gurdjieff's thoughtmaps, experiments, and practices in his books The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution, and - what has come be a core Possibility Management background book - In Search of the Miraculous. This is the book Clinton Callahan purchased 'by chance' in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1981 from the J. C. Penny's discount book table in that last hour before setting sail into the South Pacific on the trimaran sailboat christened 'Moondog'. After landfall in Sydney, Australia, the boyfriend of Clinton's housemate looks over Clinton's shoulder while he's reading the final pages and asks, "You like that book?" "Yes," says Clinton. "Then you need to call Ron Bosanquet. Here is his number..." The rest of this indeed 'miraculous' story is told in Clinton's forthcoming book, 'Possibility'.
Richard Buckminster Fuller
The two Buckminster Fuller books central to Possibility Management are Critical Path, and Grunch Of Giants.
'Bucky' Fuller wrote: "You never change things by fighting against the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
Well... by now it should be clear that the existing models are already obsolete!
In Possibility Management we have updated Buckminster Fuller's distinction to: "You never change things by fighting against the existing gameworlds. To change things, build a new gameworld that makes the existing gameworlds irrelevant." Don't be left behind playing in a stupid gameworld...
In PM's first years we were inspired by Fuller's concept that human beings are passengers on 'Spaceship Earth'. More recently we are finding this idea misleading, perhaps even self-deceptive. We are NOT passengers on planet Earth. We ARE planet Earth. We are the part of the forest that stood up and walked out of the forest, and now has the job of protecting the forest. In our uninitiated adolescence, we are not doing a very good job.
Eric Berne
He once declared “I could have spent the rest of my life disproving psychoanalysis, but I decided to invent Transactional Analysis instead.”
During the 1960s, Eric Berne originated the thoughtware and gameworld of Transactional Analysis. With his groundbreaking book Games People Play, Berne created the first 'Ego States' map, a tremendous support for identifying emotional reactivity as its roots. Without being able to experientially distinguish, and consciously and responsibly navigate Reactivity, it is foolhardy to think you can stabilize in the Adult ego where Possibility Management unfolds its full power.
Eric Berne's groundbreaking Parent Adult Child Ego States thoughtmap is the foundation of Possibility Management's Map of 6 Ego States, as shown below in the Shoots section.
Valerie Lankford
Valerie Lankford is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst from Maryland, USA. She authored Four Feelings and What to Do with Them in addition to many other publications.
Valerie Lankford experienced an intense therapeutic process from 1971-1975 at the
Cathexis Institute under the guidance of Jacqui Schiff, and others, who finally asked her to “Think while feeling!” Valerie’s 'thinking while feeling' experiments resulted in her creating an entirely revolutionary thoughtmap proposing that all human feelings can be divided into four categories: anger, sadness, joy, and fear. The profound clarity of the Map of Four Feelings has already changed many people’s lives for the better, and stands at the center of the astonishing effectiveness of Possibility Management's emotional healing and adulthood initiation processes.
Stephen Karpman
Through a near-enlightenment experience at a San Francisco movie theater, with his Beep! Book in hand - fingers furiously making notes in the dark - Stephen Karpman saw how every dramatic interaction on screen was the same, with a Victim, a Persecutor, and a Rescuer. That afternoon he drew he Drama Triangle thoughtmap for the first time.
Stephen was a close acquaintance and colleague of Eric Berne, and says, "Eric was an objective scientist, a highly trained physician, and psychiatrist who rebelled against the vague, subjective world of the current psychoanalytic establishment and their complicated language. At his home he gathered a professional group and welcomed all disciplines equally, to help set down a new game-changing set of strict standards with greater objectivity in psychiatric thought than had ever been known before. At the core of his theory was the observable social transaction, a transactional reality in objective facts that could be photographed and tape recorded, as opposed to imaginary transferences and an invisible Super Ego, Ego, and Id." Eric said, "Don’t say anything that cannot be diagrammed," creating the necessity for ongoing invention of new thoughtmaps, a necessity that thrives in Possibility Management.

SHOOTS
'SHOOTS' are the beginning sprouts, the unexpected and astonishing first appearance of distinctions, thoughtmaps, terminology, and processes in Possibility Management.
Everything has a beginning. Beginnings are the most precious of times, to notice, in fact, that something is beginning... to give the new thing a name... to hold space for the unpredictable but inevitable unfoldings... to document what is beginning and how it began so that others can explore the creative path that is being opened.
Here we document some of the remarkable beginnings in Possibility Management.
Valerie Lankford is a North American experimenter who learned to think while feeling. Her research produced the Thoughtmap of 4 Feelings which helps so many people gain access to learning Inner Navigation. Valerie's map has become the foundation for many further distinctions in Possibility Management, including the distinction between Feelings and Emotions, the Thoughtmap of Mixed Emotions, the form and value of Emotional Healing Processes, and the necessity of and procedure for Stellating Feelings Archetypes. Every single distinction derived from Valerie Lankford's Thoughtmap of 4 Feelings anchors a person more solidly into the Adult Ego State where Possibility Management becomes truly functional.
As a student and cohort of the originator of Transactional Analysis, Eric Berne, Stephen Karpman is trained to think as a map-maker. One Sunday afternoon in 1965 at the movies with his wife in San Francisco, Stephen spontaneously pulls out his pocket notepad and draws a map of all the dramatic interactions he sees being played out on the screen. He is shocked to see that every thoughtmap is the same! By the end of the film Stephen Karpman has created the first Drama Triangle Map.
In the 1960s and 70s, Thomas Gordon - author of Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) - distinguishes how human beings destroy intimacy and try to avoid responsibility through using '12 Roadblocks'. In addition, Gordon's 'Active Listening' unveils a new set of skills called 'making Completion Loops' which permit far deeper levels of collaboration. 'Active Listening' has become a central piece of Possibility Management's Map of Listenings, and Creating Possibility.
In the early 1990s, the Canadian comedian and entertainer Rick Lewis, author of Confident Under Pressure, and, 7 Rules You Were Born To Break, creates the acronym S. P. A. R. K. (Specific Practical Applications of Radical Knowledge) in an unpublished manuscript for a novel. Rick secretly lets Clinton Callahan read the story. At Clinton's request, Rick generously grants Possibility Management unrestricted use of the acronym for our S.P.A.R.K. Experiments.
Late on a drizzling cold Sunday evening, 9 November 1997, Bernhard Uhl is driving Konstantin Josuttis, Volker Augustiniak, and Clinton Callahan to a seafood dinner in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, in his Mercedes convertible. We are the four Trainers who have just successfully delivered a filled-to-the-max 2.5 day Event Training. As we slow down to abide by the city speed limits, Bernhard reaches over and causes the car's top to go down... while we are still driving... while it is still drizzling. Konstantin, in the back seat with Volker, starts squeaking in outrage. The rest of us look at him with astonishment because Konstantin's nonlinear personality had not shown up all weekend when we badly needed it. Now suddenly it is back! We beg it to stay... "Who are you?" we demand. "What is your name?" "Pym!" squeaks the answer. This is how we meet the first Gremlin. Before the evening is over, three more Gremlins reveal their names. (The full story is included in Clinton Callahan's forthcoming book, Possibility.) Clearly distinguishing the purpose and function of 'Gremlin' was the missing link to building the Thoughtmap of Possibility, a central Thoughtmap in Possibility Management, and also provides the the context and distinctions for effective Gremlin Transformation and Adult Ego State Decontaminations. Thank you Pym for your courage to reveal yourself so effectively! You have already helped so many people!
In Hamburg, Germany, March 1998, Clinton Callahan delivers his first Possibility-Management-contexted training to a group of tough-minded business managers and friends. Fellow Event trainers, Bernhard Uhl and Thomas Bormann, sit at the rear of the training room, writing prodigious notes and providing feedback and coaching on every break. It is a rough ride for Clinton... Many inspiring new things are discovered and clarified about what is needed and wanted in order to deliver a transformational Possibility Management training.
In fall 1998, Jürgen Fuchs hires Clinton Callahan to deliver not just one, but two management development trainings to his team of top managers at CSC Ploenzke in Wiesbaden, Germany. Late Saturday night of the second training, Clinton and Jürgen stand alone together in the training room. Clinton is frustrated, having struggled all day with managers who are expert in defending their verbal-reality. Jürgen is about to leave, but pauses thoughtfully at the door and suddenly turns back. He literally drags Clinton by the shoulder over to the flipchart board, points at Clinton's sketch of a person inside of a box, and insists, "This! This is what you are doing for people! Expanding their box!" That is how Expand The Box training gets named. Jürgen Fuchs is author of several books in German including: Das Märchenbuch für Manager: Gute-Nacht-Geschichten für Leitende und Leidende (Fairy Tales for Managers: bedtime stories for leaders and sufferers), and, Schluss mit Hierachie: Wie Unternehmen menschlicher werden (End of Hierarchy: how business becomes more human), written with his son Holger Fuchs.
On day three of a Possibility Lab in Germany around 2004, LeeKumar Wolfgang Köhler stands up during the morning Check-In Circle. Without hesitation he walks over to the flip-chart board, and says to us, "We have four bodies. May I use the marker pens?" He proceeds to draw Possibility Management's first Thoughtmap of 4 Bodies. We all stand and excitedly applaud.
One night in 2007, Marion Lutz returns from delivering an evening session of her weekly Abenteuer Gefühle course near Munich, Germany, and announces, "Tonight we created a map for unmixing emotions." This new clarity deepens the emotional body healing possibilities into whole new territories, and goes on to become a core element in the Feelings Practitioner program, Possibility Labs, Possibility Coaching, Possibility Mediation, and Possibility Psychology. Emotional Healing Processes become a core element of this Path because they prove to be so transformative.
The first Feelings Practitioner training is held 16 - 19 March 2017, at Moeglichkeitenraum near Bielefeld in Germany. Five Possibility Management Trainers - who are also skilled healers - open the space for a wealth of new discoveries connecting feeling, emotions, imbalances, and 5 Body healings. (Left to right: Michael Hallinger, Katharina Kaifler, Michaela Kaiser, Dahlia Abramovic, and Dagmer Thürnagel.)
On day one of the Intimacy Journeyer Training 6-10 November 2017, at Amalurra Center in Bilbao, Portugal, Trainers Clinton Callahan and Anne Schmid draw the familiar 4 Body Thoughtmap but are trying to invite participants into exploring their 5th Body (the Archetypal Body). Clinton stands with his Edding 800 pens in hand, but is groundless. His mouth is open but he is dumbfounded. Anne Schmid suddenly blurts out, "I know how to draw this." With a few sweeping strokes she draws Possibility Management's first Thoughtmap of 5 Bodies. An astonishing new world of 5 Body Intimacy Journeys is thereby opened up for everyone to explore.
On 24 April 2018 our Possibility Trainer gameworld enters breakdown during a Trainer Guild 'Togethering' at the Möglichkeitenraum center near Bielefeld, Germany. We are stuck. We have been accustomed to being together in Training spaces where everyone does the same thing at the same time, but here we are gathered in our own circle, where some Trainers want to learn a new process, others want to go outside and tell stories around a campfire, a few others want to forward a project they are creating together. Clearly we want to honor our individual needs, and just as clearly we want to stay deeply connected together as a group. During a Liquid State flash of authentic necessity, we co-create Torus Technology. The Torus Diverges - exhaling - in Nodes, with each Node a Circle that is Radically Responsible for its own actions and decisions. When the Torus Converges - inhaling - all the little Nodes come back together into one big Circle to share discoveries and decisions. In the next months we invent The Purple Card, the Frying Pan, Poop On The Table, and Resistance Decision Making. If you have Resistance to a decision made by a Node, then you join the Node during the next Divergence! Torus Technology is already making a huge difference in the self-governance of Nanonations and Ecovillages around the world.
By April 2019 a wave of Edgeworkers - many of them young - simultaneously want to learn to deliver Expand The Box trainings in their area. Intuitively responding to this necessity brings the global Possibility Management Trainer Path to life. Certain individuals are already building Space Navigation capacity by participating in Trainer Skills Labs occasionally being delivered by Michaela Kaiser, Michael Pörtner, Michael Hallinger, Dagmar Thürnagel, Georg Pollitt, and Katharina Kaifler. Yet something magical happens when Anne-Chloé Destremau delivers the first Trainer Path Gathering near Wurzburg, Germany. Suddenly a global community of trainer types bonds into a Team.
Nicola Neumann-Mangoldt unleashes her courageous and contagious experiment-joy to invent the first-ever online Expand The Box training in summer 2020. She uses the vacuum created by COVID's in-person meeting restrictions to create the opportunity for German-speaking participants to meet online. Nicola is a living example of the Possibility Management axiom, "Something completely different from this is possible right now."
In the fall of 2020, Anne-Chloé Destremau creates and delivers the first online Rage Club series, and immediately after, also the first online Fear Club series. Rage Club is not to learn to shout around. Fear Club is not about screaming your brains out. Both anger and fear are inconceivably rich resources of intelligent applications of internal energies. Human beings have extraordinary capacities for aliveness far beyond what we are permitted to imagine using S.H.I.T. (Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware). Soon after, Anne-Chloé also delivers the first ever Rage Club Spaceholder Training online with Vera Luisa Franco.
November 2020 Vera Luisa Franco creates and delivers the first online Expand The Box trainings in both English and Portuguese! Born in Portugal plus living at Findhorn ecovillage in Scotland for ten years, ignites Vera's global-citizen edgeworker skills that are unquenchable.
Early April 2021 while Anne-Chloé Destremau struggles to deepen and clarify the Context of the PM Trainer Path, and Clinton Callahan struggles to build the Gaian Gameworlds website for StartOver.xyz, it suddenly becomes clear that what has been missing and what is sorely needed is a combination of the two! Possibilitator Training springs into life - not a program, but rather a formal Path empowered by the trainings, tools, thoughtmaps, distinctions, processes and infrastructure of Possibility Management for people to come together in a global community of mutual endeavor!
By July 2021 enough Possibilitators express a deep wish to participate in a regenerative-culture initiation-centered adulthood-contexted Rapid Learning environment of 'synergetic education' and 'temporary community' that the first Bridge-House spontaneously pops into existence as Bridge-House-Devalaya in Germany, with Divyám'shu as Spaceholder. Then a wide variety of Bridge-Houses sprout up here and there, including Single-Moms-Bridge-House in Portugal, Possibility-Coaching-Bridge-House in Austria, Writing House in Mexico, Bridge-House-Sepolno in Poland, Bridge-House-Dandelion in Brazil, and Possibilica Village Hub in New Zealand. We think the emergence of Bridge-Houses is just beginning... Have you ever dreamed of switching over to a life that makes sense?
In 2022, Christine Dürschner took a stand to be Spaceholder for the Possibilitator Training Specialty: Possibility Coaching. She delivered the first Possibility Coaching Training online.

Emotional Empowerment
By Patrizia Patz, 2022. Feelings are not a disease! They are a source of power and a navigation system in one.
How to heal your emotions and use your feelings as a resource.
Forget everything you think you know about feelings! Because our culture, which is so rational and mind-oriented, wants us to believe that feelings are unprofessional and negative. To develop emotional strength, we need a different attitude towards feelings.Feelings are not a design flaw of creation! They are a useful source of power and navigation system in one. On the other hand, they can also be tools for manipulation. But without awareness of them, we have no choice. Only when we are aware of our feelings do we gain clarity and are able to take responsibility for our own lives….

Ich Mach Mein Ding
von Patrizia Patz, 2021.
In dem Buch geht es in erster Linie nicht darum, wie man seine Berufung findet, sondern wie man Verantwortung dafür übernimmt, das in die Welt zu bringen, was einem wichtig ist und wofür man brennt.
Ich beschreibe im Buch die 14 typischen Hürden, die uns in der Regel davon abhalten, unsere Berufung in Aktion zu sein. Und natürlich, wie man diese Hürden überwindet. Und da kommen natürlich die ganzen wundervollen Unterscheidungen und Werkzeuge von Possibility Management ins Spiel.

Wut kraft
von Friederike von Aderkas, 2021 mit Sylvia Gredig. 'Wut kraft' Seit Kindertagen haben wir gelernt, Wut zu unterdrücken, gilt sie doch als Zeichen der Zerstörung. Das ist fatal, denn Wut ist ein Gradmesser für unser Wohlbefinden. Wer ihr nicht zuhört, läuft Gefahr, den Zugang zu den eigenen Bedürfnissen zu verlieren, krank zu werden und eine Depression zu entwickeln.
Wutkraft ist eine Einladung, unsere eigene Wut kennenzulernen und verantwortlich damit zu leben. Sie weist uns den Weg zu mehr Präsenz, Lebendigkeit und Wohlgefühl. Anhand von zahlreichen Übungen und Reflexionen zeigt Friederike von Aderkas, wie wir unsere Wut positiv nutzen: Wie wir lernen, Grenzen zu setzen, Entscheidungen mit neuer Klarheit zu treffen und Beziehungen neu zu gestalten.Schritt für Schritt enthüllt Friederike Geheimnisse und Fähigkeiten, die sie zusammen mit Jelka Mönch gelernt hat, und liefert Rage Club - und emotionale Heilungsprozesse aus dem Possibility Management.

Das Geschenk Deiner Gefühle
CD von Aurora V. Scholz, 2020.
Deine Gefühle dürfen sein! Sie sind von Grund auf dienlich und notwendig, um weiter zu kommen. Auf dieser Reise begegnen Dir vier Grundgefühle,
um einfach und tiefgründig darüber aufzuklären, wie sie von Natur aus gedacht sind.
Deine Gefühle voller Ressourcen:
Erfahre, wie Traurigkeit Dich im inneren Wandel unterstützt.
Erkenne, wie Wut Dich weiter bringen kann.
Und lausche der Angst, wenn sie erzählt, dass sie nicht dazu gedacht ist, Dich zu lähmen.
Sie wird Dir ihr ureigenes Geheimnis offenbaren. Sinn dieser Reise ist es, die unendlich großen Geschenke, die unsere Gefühle (ALLE!) für uns bereit halten, zu entdecken.

Gefühle: Emotional gesund in einer rationalen Welt
von Patrizia Patz, 2019. Emotionen oder auch Gefühle sind ein geflügeltes Wort und aus unserem Sprachgebrauch kaum wegzudenken. Mal soll man sie zeigen, mal soll man sie verbergen – also Gefühlskontrolle betreiben. Doch nüchtern betrachtet sind wir emotionale Analphabeten. So richtig wissen wir mit Gefühlen nichts anzufangen.
Warum haben wir den Umgang mit Emotionen verlernt? Oder haben wir ihn nie gelernt?Die ersten Schritte sind dabei ganz einfach: Die eigenen Gefühle wieder wahrnehmen, kritisch hinterfragen und einordnen und die darin enthaltene Kraft nutzen, um nachhaltige Veränderungen zu vollziehen.

Edgeworker: Leadership war gestern
von Nicola Nagel (Neumann-Mangoldt) und Patrizia Servidio (Patz), 2015. Es ist nicht mehr zu leugnen: Ein Richtungswechsel in Unternehmen ist dringend notwendig. Die klassische, hierarchische und auf Profit fokussierte Unternehmensführung entpuppt sich mehr und mehr als selbstmörderisches Paradigma. Doch wie kann ein Richtungswechsel gelingen? Er beginnt mit einer neuen Generation von Menschen, die das Risiko eingehen, Unternehmen komplett neu zu gestalten und einen Paradigmenwechsel vorzunehmen, sogenannte Edgeworker. Das Buch regt zu radikal neuem Denken in Bezug auf Führung an. Es beschreibt anhand zahlreicher Unterscheidungen und Beispiele die Kernfertigkeiten der Edgeworker, die über das bisher bekannte „Leadership“ weit hinausgehen.

Directing the Power of Conscious Feelings (sold out)
by Clinton Callahan, 2010.
Book Recommendation for Xtinction Rebellion 15 January 2021
"I have been living in the empowering clarity of this book for three and a half years, now, and I can tell you it feels like an Xtinction Rebellion Handbook. Why? Because by talking over the maps with my team and trying the experiments together, we are visibly able to harness more and more of the intelligence and energy of our conscious rage, grief, fear, and joy to create real change in our own lives, and the lives of those around us. This startlingly clear handbook begins by examining 'boys with guns' and page-by-page equips you with the tools and initiations to fruitfully live in collaborative next culture. I did not realize that modern culture took me through school but left me uninitiated. I did not realize it is possible to ‘upgrade my thoughtware’ with new distinctions. This book invites you to connect with inner and outer resources that the modern capitalist patriarchal empire knows nothing about. It is an escape kit connected to a platform called StartOver.xyz with over 450 copyleft open-code websites that blow your mind with possibility. Please read this book ASAP with your Team."

Gute Nacht Gefühle
von Clinton Callahan, veranschaulicht durch Timo Wuerz, 2014. Übersetzt ins Deutsche von Marion Lutz.
Das Buch, das deinen Tag ein kleines bisschen besser macht… egal, was es für ein Tag war.
Gute Nacht Gefühle lädt Große und Kleine dazu ein, den Tag gemeinsam ausklingen zu lassen. Mit eindrucksvollen Bildern fordert es die Herzen auf, sich gegenseitig die Gefühle des Tages mitzuteilen.
Ob es traurige Momente gab, starken oder unterschwelligen Frust, Augenblicke der Angst oder freudige Erlebnisse – während dieses schützend gelenkten und respektvollen Austausches werden sie alle vollendet und fortgespült.
Jedes Gefühl hat seine Daseinsberechtigung. Wenn Menschen ihren eigenen Gefühlen und den Gefühlen anderer sorgfältig zuhören, dann können die Gefühle Zusammenhänge erklären und Verletzungen heilen, die das logische Denken niemals lösen könnte.
Gute Nacht Gefühle könnte das spannendste Buch im Bücherregal eines Kindes werden, denn jedes Mal, wenn es gemeinsam gelesen wird, entwickeln sich die Geschichten neu, mit überraschender Tiefe und Frische.

Wahre Liebe im Alltag
von Clinton Callahan, Neuauflage 2020 mit neuem Cover. Übersetzt ins Deutsche von Marion Lutz. Das Buch richtet sich an alle Männer und Frauen, die in einer Beziehung leben oder leben wollen. Es hilft, die eigenen Strukturen in Bezug auf Beziehungen, Sex, Zärtlichkeit, Konflikte zu erkennen – und zu ändern!
Dieses Buches befähigt Sie zu einem Leben in persönlicher Verantwortung und Konsequenz. Der Autor behauptet, dass selbst die „besten” unserer Beziehungen bloß „Gewöhnliche Menschliche Beziehungen” sind. Er unterscheidet zwei weitere Domänen, die unserer Erkundung offen stehen, und zwar Außergewöhnliche Menschliche Beziehung und Archetypische Beziehung. Das Buch zeigt genauestens auf, wie Sie diese neuen Domänen gemeinsam betreten und sich dort lange genug aufhalten können, um echte Vertrautheit, Leidenschaft und Zufriedenheit zu kultivieren. Die essentiellen Lehrwerkzeuge sind „mentale Landkarten“, welche die Dynamik sich entwickelnder Beziehungen illustrieren und formen. Daran gekoppelt ist eine Reihe von „Experimenten“, die alleine oder mit dem Partner unternommen werden können.Veröffentlicht von Next Culture Press.
Building Love That Lasts
By Clinton Callahan 2020. This is a reprint of Radiant Joy Brilliant Love with a new ISBN number, cover, updated weblinks, and Matrix Codes for each Experiment you you can record your Matrix Points at StartOver.xyz. This hard-hitting and innovative book about partnered relationship immediately challenges the deceptions about love and intimacy rampant in today's patriarchal culture. At the same time, Building Love That Lasts reveals a step-by-step process for discovering and living out alternative possibilities. The author claims that even the best of our relationships are still generally basic level; what he calls 'Ordinary Human Relationship'. He asserts that two more domains remain to be explored: namely, Extraordinary Human Relationship and Archetypal Love. The book describes exactly how to enter these new domains, and how to stay there long enough to cultivate genuine intimacy, nurturance, excitement and satisfaction together. The material for this book is startlingly original and fresh, directly distilled from over thirty years of trial, error and re-evaluation within small private circles and trainings conducted by the author in the U.S., Europe, and South America.
The essential teaching tools are 'Thoughtmaps' that illustrate and guide the dynamics of evolving relationship, coupled with a series of exploratory experiments to be undertaken alone or with one's partner. Topics include: Making the leap from 'Defensive Learning' to 'Expansive Learning'. Breaking out of the relationship 'Box'. The lie of being unlovable. Navigating in the realm of conscious feelings. And communication skills for 'explorers'.

Occupy World Street
von Ross Jackson (co-founder of the Global Ecovillage Network), Übersetzt ins Deutsche von the Possibility Management Pirate Translation Team, Spaceholder Georg Pollitt. Unternehmer und Politiker auf der ganzen Welt lassen sich ihre Abenteuer schon lange von den Staatsbürgern finanzieren. Die Kluft zwischen Reich und Arm wird immer tiefer; Entwicklungsländer verschulden sich dramatisch und bei der Ausbeutung von Rohstoffen wird die Umwelt zerstört. Durch seine Schilderung der Lage macht Ross Jackson deutlich, dass es so nicht weitergehen kann. Als Ausweg aus der Krise stellt er hier eine Vision für umfassende Reformen der Weltwirtschaft und der politischen Strukturen vor. Einige Länder könnten als Vorreiter neue Bündnisse eingehen und neue internationale Institutionen einführen; zusammen mit Graswurzelbewegungen könnten sie den Weg für andere Staaten ebnen. Die radikale Botschaft lautet: Lösen wir uns von der alten Weltordnung und schaffen wir eine Welt selbstbestimmter, unabhängiger Staaten, in denen ökologische Nachhaltigkeit und Menschenrechte ernst genommen werden!

Designing Regenerative Cultures
by Daniel Christian Wahl. Notice anything in the cover design? Yes. It is the symbol of Archearchy, the human culture that naturally emerges after matriarchy and patriarchy have run their course. Daniel Wahl has included Possibility Management in his rewrite of the curriculum for Gaia Education's Ecovillage Design Education (EDE).
His book covers the finance system, agriculture, design, ecology, economy, sustainability, organizations and society at large.
In this remarkable book, Daniel Wahl explores ways in which we can reframe and understand the crises that we currently face, and he explores how we can live our way into the future. Moving from patterns of thinking and believing to our practice of education, design and community living, he systematically shows how we can stop chasing the mirage of certainty and control in a complex and unpredictable world. The book asks how can we collaborate in the creation of diverse regenerative cultures adapted to the unique biocultural conditions of place? How can we create conditions conducive to life? "This book is a valuable contribution to the important discussion of the worldview and value system we need to redesign our businesses, economies, and technologies - in fact, our entire culture - so as to make them regenerative rather than destructive." --Fritjof Capra, author of The Web of Life, co-author of The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision

Radikal erliche Eltenschaft
von Brad Blanton. Unverblümt räumt Brad Blanton mit der moralistischen und glaubensverhafteten Denkweise auf und geht direkt zur Wurzel allen Leids. Es ist ein Buch zur Kindererziehung, aber wie können wir Kinder erziehen, wenn wir als Eltern nicht zuerst aus dieser Denkweise aussteigen, nicht zuerst uns selbst genauer unter die Lupe nehmen? Wollen wir weiterhin Tipps austauschen und Symptomerleichterung anstreben? Brad nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund, spricht die Dinge direkt an. (Übersetzt ins Deutsche von Marion Lutz.)
