04.11.2010 - 06.11.2010, Man as a Cosmic Resonator - Re-Imagining Human Existence in the Field Picture
Science and the arts have a common task: re-imagining reality, pointing out possibilities, directing attention to hitherto unconscious potentialities, creating new sensitivities which then may become social and physical realities. The field aspect of reality and human existence has long been eclipsed by the predominant view of reality and our existence as solid objects. More recently, however, the field imaginations have shifted from a marginal to a more prominent place in public awareness. The rise of the field view may well transform our society, and change not only our picture of reality and human existence, but transform social life and human relationships. Methods for training awareness of interpersonal fields and cultivating the sensitivity for the “space in between”, self-cultivating techniques by means of which every person can regulate their own bodily, emotional and mental states and constantly fashion themselves as living “Gesamtkunstwerke” may take a central place in society.
