Transformational Teachings from Counselor Jane Ilene Cohen

“The universe is filled with resources, but it might not be in the form that you expect it from. It may not be from the person you expect it to come from.”

“The reason you feel it’s not safe is because, like Aaron– and maybe you (Aaron) can help Anita in this if you can see it in relation to her — you think that you have to get it right, or something bad will happen.”

“That’s what generally happens when I’m revealing the ground a person is standing on, which is the way they form what reality is. I’m causing a reframe right at that point, which feels like I’ve pulled the ground out from under you reality.”

(Janet asked Jered if he is as emotional as she is.) (To Jered) “This is a very interesting question. As you said in your TimeLine Therapy session, the reason you have [...]

“I don’t know lots of things. I stand in the question. That’s how I end up knowing things. I walk into the situation, and I know nothing. And so I’m looking, I’m waiting, I’m listening. And then I know something. It just sort of pours in.”

“This huge burden is what you are focusing on, and is what the group is having to carry with you, as we listen to you. And this is the way you have structured your world. But this is not what reality is about.”

“You think that you putting something in the picture distorts the situation. But the opposite is true. If you don’t put in what’s true for you in the moment, then you are distorting the picture, because you exist.”

“Men can tend to lean on invulnerable logic, as if that gives them some mastery, rather than being in a place where you just allow things to be what they are — a more organic place where you are feeling things, you are experiencing things, and the black and white mastery is not so important. Being present and in the feeling, growing, learning, evolving, transforming is more of a female thing.”

“In the course of some interaction in the group, something comes up, something is activated. There’s energy happening, there’s possibilities. And we’re opening up to find out what truth is. We don’t know the answer yet, and we’re standing in the question. There is then a possibility of things configuring, or reconfiguring so we can find out something we didn’t know before. It’s an exploring kind of thing. But generally what happens is you jump in and say, “It’s this, this and this,” and fill in the space before truth can come into the picture.”

“Where I’m trying to move you to is something that is a very high level of functioning. You could say it’s the main shift that humanity is moving toward. It’s moving from having your sense of reality defined by something outside of you, by a perceived authority as if it defines what is true — versus direct experience, directly coming from an internal plumb line, a place of being present and available in the present moment, and knowing what is true, which comes from, you could say, an open channel.”
