Accessing the Knowing Field
ОглавлениеDuring a constellation, information is surfaced that leads to new insights and possibilities. The process works by taking intangible mental concepts and giving them a physical and an emotional representation. Information does often emerge, however, that only the issue holder is privy to. Surprised by what has been revealed people want to understand how this happened. The short answer is we really don’t know. One possible explanation is that we are all connected to an “energetic internet” we will call the knowing field. When the representatives in a constellation quiet their verbal mind, they nurture the connection between their nonverbal subconscious mind and the infinite knowing field of all subconscious minds. The endless possibilities of this collective field can provide us with unexpected revelations. Since the information is coming through the subconscious it tends to be a felt-sense of physical and emotional sensations. This felt-sense phenomenologically describes the issue and the solutions that would lead to its resolution.
A simple exercise offers a visceral insight into how we naturally access this field of knowing. Ask people to sit next to someone they have not yet met. Ask them to write down five characteristics of the new person and five characteristics about themselves on separate notecards. They should do this before they start talking to each other. When they both have finished, ask them to share what they wrote about each other and themselves. Generally, people find the shared cards to be surprisingly accurate even though the writers had very little overt information to go on. Somehow, accurate information was available even though they were not aware of any physical source.
What if the members of your group already know each other? Another approach for this personal research project is to ask the participants to form triads. One person will be the experimenter and the other two will be the subjects. The experimenters think of someone with whom they have an intense relationship. The relationship could be positive or negative—but not so negative they feared for their safety. The experimenters select one of the subjects to represent themselves and the other subject to represent the person who is in the intense relationship. Without telling the subjects whom they represent, the experimenters position the pairs a few feet apart. The experimenters then touch each subject on the shoulder with the quiet intention in mind of who that subject represents. The subjects are given a few minutes to notice what they notice without any agenda. Then they report how they feel about each other. Again, experimenters find the representatives’ comments are surprisingly accurate. One explanation is that through mirror neurons in the brain we sense what others are feeling. The reaction time, according to some brain researchers, in sensing whether someone is a friend or foe is a mere .07 seconds.1 As neuroscience uncovers more about the capacity of the human brain, we will continue to be amazed by what our neurology can do.
