There is nothing against<\/u> change unless there is nothing for<\/u> change. Change as a purpose by itself may lead to negating the nonconscious (even more).<\/h3>\n

A superficial change without going in-depth, just for the sake of change<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

is no change at all.<\/p>\n

At least, not the change that I\u2019m talking about in this text. The change as a human, as an organism, as a product of nature. The change that is inner growth.<\/p>\n

Merely seeing that the present situation is not as it should be,<\/strong><\/p>\n

one may see the need for change in a negative way: not towards something but away from something. Without understanding why change is needed, one then jumps into change.<\/p>\n

This may diminish stress: at least one is doing something<\/em>. It gives an idea of control, even though it may very well be an illusion of control. The feeling of dis-control, however, is so disconcerting that one may forget common sense. [see: \u201c\u2018Control\u2019 Is Not the Answer<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n

Then change happens, on the basis of misconceptions.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After a while, one (or another) sees that such change does not deliver its promise. Result: disappointment. This leads again to disconcerting feelings\u2026 and to change again. The latter may be a leap back to where it began, or even further back.<\/p>\n

Like a pendulum in time, one may see a swing from end to end, always going much too rashly in the middle, not taking time to look at what may be there.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s a pity. In many cases, it\u2019s a huge (immense, gigantic) waste of resources. Meanwhile, a change-for-good is not realized.<\/p>\n

Both ends of the swinging movement may regard each other as \u2018the other side.\u2019 They are them<\/em> and we are us<\/em>. So, the pendulum keeps going as one party temporarily wins over the other.<\/p>\n

For instance: self-empowerment of employees<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here the pendulum may go from no-empowerment to empowerment-without-support, and back again. As if the \u2018empowered\u2019 employees can be controlled into \u2018being empowered\u2019 just like that.<\/p>\n

We have two camps, shooting at each other.<\/p>\n

Both are wrong.<\/p>\n

Another example: treating children \u2018at their level\u2019<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Much has been written about this. Much has been tried and has failed. We\u2019re still not at the end of this.<\/p>\n

While the times, they are a-changing. Really? Looking at the pendulum from a distance, it\u2019s the same thing over and over again.<\/p>\n

Changing something should be the last option.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before that, one should do one\u2019s utmost best to keep things as they are. Much can be learned in this process. And rest assured: much will remain that needs change.<\/p>\n

Like a thesis and an antithesis and then in the best scenario a synthesis which leads us into a very new direction.<\/p>\n

The solution from the middle<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The middle of the pendulum movement may be related to nonconscious processing. I think it does so in many cases. The synthesis then lies in a striving towards wholeness, looking at human being as we really are: each of us an \u2018I\u2019, not an \u2018ego\u2019. [see: \u201cThe Story of Ego<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n

As long as this is not thoroughly taken into account, all effort may be for naught<\/p>\n

in many<\/em> domains.<\/p>\n
