Under construction
Excerpted draft from a work in progress, Camelot Disrupted
Meda Rose – in our tale, Camelot Disrupted, as it begins, is contemplating plans for her return to Washington, D.C. to carry out the instructions of her Prophecy.
She contrasts her community life at Black BeaMountain Village with fast track life in D.C. , reflecting that, unlike the nation’s capital, it is filled with the gifts of radical truth-telling combined with unconditional love, respect, peace and unity— all of which make even hard times gratifying – after they are overcome – that is.
And at BBMV, hard times do pass, often with some effort, collective effort – community effort
Radical truth-telling is the key!
In the language of slang, the term "gaslighting" and it's attributes might be used to describe the anthesis of radical truth-telling. In the language of Transactional Analysis (TA), the psychological model in which Meda had trained as an organizational consultant, specializing in women's issues and later male-female interpersonal dynamics and had earned most of the national and international
organization's highest credentials, the phenomenon called gaslighting would instead be called "discounting," an unconscious dynamic with true gaslighting, given its hidden agendas being the manipulation and control of others, one of the most destructive forms.
Meda, in establishing the culture of BBMV placed a ban on discounting - whatever its form, replacing that very human yet highly dysfunctional process with one of the village’s day-to-day disciplines being the assisting of one another in striving to be wholly conscious, a challenging endeavor to say the least.
The die-hard commitment to this process is what makes all else at BBMV so profound.
Meda takes great pleasure in having brought the principle and the practice of no denying, no lying, no minimizing or ignoring of relevant data to BBMV - straight out of TA -- to be foundational for BBMV culture.
