Contemplative Life

AbstractCharles de Foucauld (1858-1916) certainly never envisioned himself as a missionary at the moment of his conversion. He was a contemplative who wanted to live for God alone in imitation of the hidden life of Jesus at Nazareth. But this same concept of Nazareth that became the lens through which he saw his relationship with God and his place in the world became a dynamic force that evolved over the course of the years. Charles' evolving understanding of this took him from Trappist monk, to hermit, to what he called a "missionary monk." He came to believe that a contemplative life lived in close proximity with others could be a living sign of the love of God. His past life experiences played no small part in the way he saw presence and goodness as a means of "shouting the Gospel by one's life" and in his eventual mission among the Muslim people of the Sahara. Charles clearly set out to convert them according to the model of evangelization in his day. But his own ongoing conversion and growing friendships, as well as his extensive study of the language of the Tuareg, among whom he lived, developed into a model of mission based on friendship and respect, where the "other" becomes "brother and sister" and where evangelization is about communion and solidarity as a sign of the Reign of God.

Drop Outs

Every year, secondary schools face large numbers of drop-outs. To approach the inherent social and educational challenges, this two-year study applied a multidisciplinary understanding to the aspect of ‘individual learning’—in particular, on how current and past life experiences affect a young person’s capacity to learn, understand, communicate, and relate. In this study, three different semistructured ‘movement’-oriented interventions were offered to twenty-six ‘difficult’ pupils of an eighth grade at a German Hauptschule, their teachers, and their families. The results of the research project were very promising. All pupils passed their examinations and were able to continue with further education or training.

Depth Interviews

Abstract This case study examines loneliness from the perspective of two older men, who were interviewed three times as part of a five-year qualitative longitudinal study on loneliness in later life. Both interviewees self-identified as feeling lonely “often” or “all the time” and had experienced loneliness also in previous life phases. The interviews revealed trajectories of long-term loneliness which were impacted by life events and circumstances in early life, childhood and youth. Two critical experiences were identified: childhood bereavement and sexual abuse. These factors contributed to emotional insecurities and impacted the ways the interviewees perceived their selves and their relations with others. The acknowledgement of past life experiences is important for the theoretical and conceptual understanding of loneliness and the development of different intervention strategies. However, more longitudinal analysis is needed on the cumulative disadvantages making people vulnerable to long-term loneliness.

The psychological literature reflects that psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists working seriously and systematically with so-called ‘past-life’ experiences in psychotherapy appears to be on the increase, also in South Africa. In recent years the subject of ‘past-life’ experiences has become a major focus in several modes of therapy, and both local and overseas therapists now regard it as having a vital and dynamic role to play in the process of transformation and healing of the individual psyche. ‘Past-life’ experiences have often been in-extricably connected to the concept of reincarnation, yet recent research reflects that belief in reincarnation is not a necessary prerequisite for its occurrence, for often these experiences occur in therapy despite the disbelief of both client and therapist. Because many therapists claim that ‘past-life’ work is one of the most powerful and concentrated tools available to therapy short of psychedelic drugs, it is imperative to explore ‘past-life’ experiences and to answer some basic questions such as, ‘What is a “past-life” experience/regression?’, and ‘how can we understand such experiences in psychotherapy?’ This article, academically and rigorously, sets out to do that. Several explanations have been identified, and one useful perspective that deepens our therapeutic access to past life material is briefly documented.
