The basic idea is this: within his psychological paradigm, we “consist” in experiences gathered in the transpersonal realm (Archetypal and/or past life experience and/or Collective Unconscious), the perinatal realm, and the biological/historical realm, and sometimes groups of things get stuck.
If we posit that the essence of living well is allowing experience of all sorts to flow through you without objection, without grasping and holding, effortlessly and smoothly, then anything which causes you to get stuck is bad. Certain experiences create a textured surface on which other things get stuck.
As an example, an unusually bad birth can cause all sorts of life long predispositions to certain bad emotional states. Being stuck in Matrix 2–that period in which contractions have started, but there is no escape–can create a life long tendency to assume being stuck is the nature of life; that nothing you do has any meaning, or ever can have any meaning.
You start with a predisposition, from birth, then as you live your life and process your experience, you have difficulty allowing things to flow through. Your default assumption is that sustained movement of any sort is impossible, and your belief becomes reality.
I like the term Resonant Constellation, because I feel like if you touch any experience in this constellation, you trigger the whole group. It is a sort of holograph, in which ever part contains the whole.
Likewise, if you can fully process any core element in this constellation, you weaken the whole thing, and then in goes swirling away, into Matrix 3 and then 4.
It is an interesting idea. If mainstream psychiatry fully integrated Stan’s work, it would change our world in short order, I do believe, because the underlying paradigm is that we were MEANT for health, that in almost all cases, absent severe organic trauma or defect, we have all the tools we need not just to survive, but to thrive. How many of you can honestly say you are thriving now? I doubt 1 person in a 100 can, the world over.
