Arnold Mindell

I love this beautiful quote from Arny. I was so lucky to witness how he taught and lived this every single day of his life...and always will.
Thanks dear Process Work Institute for posting.

"Taoism ... became the central paradigm that I worked with, namely, that there are certain things which can be expressed--and those were for me analyzable experiences, and there was a Tao which couldn't easily be expressed - and that was this deeply unconscious material, the flow of things which you can't comprehend intellectually but you can accept indirectly through following signals from the body. ... My goal became not just to understand what was happening, but to follow the river."

Arnold Mindell in June Singer's (1995) Interview with Arny and Amy Mindell on Process Oriented Psychology. The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, 13(4), p.27.

Dear friends, (from Amy) on June 10th my friend Rhea and I had a touching online gathering with many of you to celebrate Arny and feel his beautiful spirit with us. During that gathering, I showed a few short and fun videos of Arny. This morning, I woke up and wanted to share the videos with those of you who could not be with us.
I began creating these videos many years ago. During our walks and runs, Arny would often speak about nature and process work with exuberance and passion. I had the feeling that these “talks” should not be just for me, but should be shared with others. So, I asked him if I could video him …and he agreed!
I have many videos and let my dreaming choose a few to share. In this first short set of clips (about 6 minutes long), Arny speaks about process work, how nature shows the way, how your life is none of your business(!), why we are here, and an adorable video where he uses one of my puppets to playfully explain his concept of the “processmind”. I will share another short set of videos in a next post.
The videos remind me of Arny's joyful, wise, and playful spirit and his absolute reverence for nature. I hope you enjoy them and will feel his spirit very close to us all. (You may need to turn up your sound to hear well. I added subtitles to help.)
Love, amy
