ALIVE and REAL
About 200 pages of transcripts of the Self Acceptance Training approach to Human Development founded by Richard Olney using Bioenergetics, Shamanism, Eidetic Imagery, Hypnosis, Gestalt, and MUCH MORE. I want to add video and audio to this site so you can experience Dick (again?)
Dick with Gary Flynn Dick Olney with the editor Tom Biesanz
Definition: Self Acceptance Training is the experiencing of
myself in a given moment without the inhibition of self criticism, self
judgment, or self evaluation.
Comment: This is not about self esteem. It is a path of re-membering and re-experiencing our greater, essential self.
Basic Information about this home page: from the editor, tjb.

2) "I'm stupid and that's where it's at!" laughter. "What would your tears say?" "Who would be born must set his foot at last On the first step of twice-ten thousand miles Nor shrink from the chasmed path" "I honor life, I give thanks for life. Alive and Real." Singing: "Gate, ParaGate" and "Thank you my friend for giving this gift of life to me" Dick gets ready for the BARDOT
