Response to Rocky Fjord’s “Ecological Challenge and Changing Consciousness” (Steven Rosen)
Thanks, Rocky, for your stimulating post. I like the dialogical touch of questioning your own thoughts and feelings. I agree with you that consciousness needs to change by being more in-sightful. I think we need to shift gears so we see inwardly, becoming proprioceptively aware of our own subjective process as we interact with others, […]

Ecological Challenge and Changing Consciousness (Rocky Fjord)
I’ve been listening to Bohm’s Dialogues, the one’s recorded after Krishnamurti’s death. Before Bohm, I listened to Krishnamurti, from whom what was being said about thought was resonating. Before him Marshall Rosenberg on Conflict Resolution, before him Milton Erikson on the unconscious and hypnotism. I was listening to a hypnosis recording on the web by […]

The Old and the New (Steven Rosen’s response to Colette Carse)
Thank you, Colette, for your very thoughtful reply to my comment about conventional books (in Invitation to PD), and to my call for Proprioceptive Dialogue. Maybe I went a little too far in expressing my disenchantment with the usual kind of book distributed in the usual kind of way. As I know you realize, I […]

I found your virtual invitation in a book on my coffee table (Colette Carse)
Greetings Dr. Rosen, I read that you requested we read the Bohm article before beginning to participate in PD, but I must grant myself permission to respond to something you wrote in your invitation: “I’ve presently reached a point of disenchantment with conventional books distributed in the conventional way. However revolutionary a work like this may be in terms […]

Commitment and Ambivalence (Steven Rosen)
I appreciate Ronald Polack’s personal reflections on his experience in a proprioceptive dialogue group. His comments were quite welcome after a relatively long period of inactivity on this website. I must admit though, that I myself could be doing a lot more to vitalize the website, both by encouraging people to respond and become involved, […]

Personal Account of PD, Sparked by the Comments of Mitch Hall and Steven Rosen (Ronald Polack)
Steven responded to Mitch by writing: ….As for the question of whether “participating in such a [PD] group affect[s] participants’ relations outside the group,” it is hard for me to imagine that the effects of sustained and serious involvement in PD would be entirely limited to the group setting. My guess is that — to […]

Response to Mitch Hall’s Commentary on “Practicing Proprioceptive Dialogue” (Lloyd Gilden)
I appreciate very much Mitch Hall’s comments on PD. He cites a broad spectrum of approaches that involve many aspects of such dialogue. I want to address one of his questions in particular, namely, how participation in such a group affects participants outside the group. I will do so while trying to proprioceive, or engage […]

Response to Mitch Hall’s Commentary on “Practicing Proprioceptive Dialogue” (Steven Rosen)
I appreciate Mitch Hall’s thoughtful reflections on Proprioceptive Dialogue. His references to concepts and practices related to PD are a welcome contribution. I agree with Hall on the helpfulness of Morris Berman’s book, Coming to Our Senses. Jean Gebser’s The Ever-Present Origin also seems quite relevant to the subject of cultural history and embodied awareness […]

Commentary on “Practicing Proprioceptive Dialogue” (Mitch Hall)
[Note: The introductory text for this “Practicing PD” web page was recently posted on DIALOGUES, a listerv of philosophers and psychologists. The following commentary is a response to that posting.] Steven M. Rosen’s recent posting on “Practicing Proprioceptive Dialogue (PD),” as derived from David Bohm’s work, stimulated reflections on other initiatives that have sought to […]

Reaction to the Website (Ronald Polack)
I have perused most of the site – yet to do the dreams – and find what you are initiating quite fascinating and a huge step in the environs of cyberspace where there are so many frivolous games going on, it seems. Maybe they are more meaningful seen through larger eyes. Some of the site […]
