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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

[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 [...]

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 [...]

I have been going over my personal journals in preparation for a project I plan to launch on this website some time in the future. The journals are filled with dreams I’ve had over a period of twenty-five years. Last night, after rereading one of my dreams, I turned to this web page with the [...]

Many, many years ago I read a book by Rollo May where he was describing the eyes of the Greeks in antiquity as wide open, stretching out in astonishment towards life and world. I smiled ironically when I read this — and at the same time I felt some sort of transition … a door [...]

You describe well what it feels like to be in cyberspace — pulled off the intimate sofa of personal relationships, pulled outside yourself and in danger of being lost in the anonymity of a vast electronic arena. No wonder agoraphobia is on the rise among us dwellers in cyberspace! Local geography does vanish here, leaving [...]

Hello Steven and everyone on the new cyber forum! To be or not to be — or, in fact, how to be, is one of the most important questions in these our times — since we no doubt, even to our big surprise, find ourselves in this new net world, with a speed, flow and [...]
