B-2 "Using Interactive Resonance for Transforming The Enemy Image" (Lecture, Discussion, Experiential) The image of an enemy is a self-organizing mental structure produced by a recursive repetition of anxiety patterns and isolated thereafter from personal awareness by trauma. Trauma is the loss of semantic and grammatical connection with the archetype of wholeness. Recursive (recurrent) anxiety development is affected by different kinds of dependencies, which in their turn are the consequences of the instincts breakdown. The image of the enemy evolves during the recursion. The author will introduce a synergetic model of the emergence of dangerous biases and describe some ways of overcoming them. He will also speak about the method of Interactive Resonance and how it can be applied to cope with hostility.
