THE TWICE BORN MANIFESTO

The unique features of the Childhood Deconditioning sessions and training

THE VISION

• It is therapy designed for the meditator.
• The understanding that we are all moving towards more awareness.
• The work is a spiritual work.
• It allows you to give you a second birth, the first birth has been given by your parents, the second birth you give it to yourself.
• Therapy in service of mysticism.
• All throughout the process, there is a watching component: The observer, the watcher, the Buddha awareness, consciousness are different ways to name this watching part
• It is dedicated to all those travelling the Path of Love - The Path of Meditation
• The method has been developed in and out of the vision of Osho, an enlightened master and mystic.
• The work has been created and is originated by us, in the work experience in communal living under the guidance of Osho, the most controversial modern mystic.
• It is complementary to the Osho Tantra Sexual Deconditioning.
• This work has been inspired and has flowered out of the exchange of skills and tools of the many different therapists, healers and meditation facilitators.
• It addresses the understanding that each human being carries both, a wounded child inside as well as a Buddhachild inside.
• The compassion towards our weaknesses and frailties, with acceptance towards our physical body, its sicknesses, disorders and limitations.
• It is a work that reveals the dynamic between the ego and the superego.
• By going backwards in time grows the understanding and compassion for the ego, the wounded child, by letting go of the wounds, one also can let go of the ego structure and ego defense structure, healing from ego to being, from personality to individuality, healing the wounds, making space for being, step by step backwards. Peeling the layers of the onion, towards more silence and emptiness. At the center there is pure emptiness being.
• The unique variety of students and facilitators of the Childhood Deconditioning work, international, all meditators and spiritual seekers, working for a more loving world to live in.

THE APPLICATION - THE METHOD

• The dynamic between the adult and the child is precisely kept throughout the 10 sessions.
• Each session begins with the client in the adult position and ends with the adult position.
• The two faces of the child:
• The wounded child -
• The original face of the child - the natural child- the Buddhachild.
• The two faces of the adult:
• The wounded adult, the wounding adult
• The loving adult - the meditator- the true adult
• The understanding that sometimes the adult is wiser than the child and sometimes the child is wiser than the adult.
• The understanding that the parents addressed are the parents of the past, the internalized parents.
• The parents of the here and now, maybe very different from the parents of the past.
• The possibility to ask the parents of the here and now for blessings, for the deconditioning work that you are going to explore, including the release of emotions that belong to the parents of the past.
• The understanding that in the being of the parents. Lies the knowing that this work is good and needed, that it cleans and clears out the relationship between them and their child, towards a more open and intimate exchange understanding that the senses are the door to transformation.
• The understanding that each issue can be differentiated in different senses: how does it look like, how does it sound like, how does it feel (or how does it smell).
• That one give an issue back to the parents, with respect, put it at their feet and trust that they can take it back and take care of it (specially when the issue has gone through a process of differentiation).
• The going backwards in time. Using the dissolving of the issue of a later stage of childhood as a resource to approach more vulnerable earlier stages. Being empowered by the later stages, strengthened to return to earlier stages.
• Each session has been designed and redesigned and polished and improved by both of us.
• Through the beauty and aesthetics of each session.
• The usage of colorfull language, bringing therapy to the same level as music, art and poetry.
• The never ending developing of the work.
• The compassionate attitude towards oneself and ones inner child.
• The compassionate attitude towards the parents.

THE SOURCES

• The understanding that catharsis is needed, because each issue has also a physical, emotional component/counterpart. The physical counterpart is reflected in the developmental stages of childhood.
• The understanding that all issues can be divided age-wise and placed under the developmental stage that they belong to
