 This section of David’s notes was collated from ‘A Emergent Knowledge Workbook’. This workbook is a collection of David’s ideas and considerations, that he was beginning to bring together, over the last few years of his life. The inclusion of them here and throughout this wiki is my way of expressing my love and thanks to David. I (MJH) am sure he would have approved of the free spirit in which they are now shared. This section of David’s notes was collated from ‘A Emergent Knowledge Workbook’.

 ===== Pulling Back Time and Space ===== ===== Pulling Back Time and Space =====
 The idea of pulling back is like the archer. In order for the arrow to hit its target with accuracy, the bow needs to be stretched and the arrow needs to be pulled back to just the right distance. The question is, how far do we pull back, in order to hit just the right spot? The idea of pulling back is like the archer.

-Pulling back will find either the Pristine the place where they felt right, and were scaled correctly to their real world, or the time and space where the client was just before feeling bad. If the Pristine is not found, the client may need to move to six positions to locate ‘from whence they came’.+Pulling back will find either the [[theory:Pristine]] the place where they felt right, and were scaled correctly to their real world, or the time and space where the client was just before feeling bad.

 To arrest time and stop a person from moving forwards or falling into the effect of the problem, they need to find a different space from their problem space. This will place them in a more empowered position. To arrest time and stop a person from moving forwards or falling into the effect of the problem, they need to find a different space from their problem space.

 By pulling the person back with the use of the pronoun, we are able to find who they were before they were affected by events in their life. This is different from pulling back time or space because finding out ‘who’ they were is not the same as ‘where’ they were or ‘what’ they were doing. They are finding out the very nature of their being, their ontology or their ‘I am-ness’. By pulling the person back with the use of the pronoun, we are able to find who they were before they were affected by events in their life.

 ===== Defining and Building up the Memory ===== ===== Defining and Building up the Memory =====
-The pulling back questions have done the work of finding the time before the trauma or finding the Pristine. What needs to occur at this stage is to define and build out that memory so that the person has a complete picture of who they were before the trauma occurred. When working with the client’s problem or goal, there will be no reference from the facilitator to the you or I (pronoun), and when the client is developing that part, they should also be free of their pronouns.+The pulling back questions have done the work of finding the time before the trauma or finding the [[theory:Pristine]].

 What will happen is the person who is about to experience the trauma is put back into a context where they can look forward at the experience through a new set of eyes. These questions can be asked repeatedly until there is nothing left. What will happen is the person who is about to experience the trauma is put back into a context where they can look forward at the experience through a new set of eyes.

-To build up the Pristine the questions go specifically to the pristine you or figure:+To build up the [[theory:Pristine]] the questions go specifically to that manifestation of you or the 'figure':
   * “What are you wearing?” establishes the body of the person.   * “What are you wearing?” establishes the body of the person.
   * “How old are you?” establishes time.   * “How old are you?” establishes time.

-If it’s a defining moment, the person will be able to describe their clothes and whatever else is there in intimate detail because these moments will be remembered. If they can’t, then it isn’t the Pristine and you may have to pull back further. Once the figure has been established, questions can be asked of the ground at this point as well.+If it’s a defining moment, the person will be able to describe their clothes and whatever else is there in intimate detail because these moments will be remembered.

-While the focus naturally leans towards the figure or the subject dealing with the memory, it is important to also be mindful of the ground or the inanimate objects that the client mentions in their description of the memory. By treating the figure and the ground with equal importance you will not limit the resources available for healing, because the person in the memory may be the least resourced part of the experience. As well as pulling the figure back in time or space, you can ask questions of the ground and pull back time or space in that way. By asking questions of the ground, it will animate and vivify those elements and provide healing solutions.+While the focus naturally leans towards the figure or the subject dealing with the memory, it is important to also be mindful of the ground or the inanimate objects that the client mentions in their description of the memory.

 The reason the ground is important is because when a person recalls an experience, they can often remember such exquisite detail as the pattern on the carpet or the wallpaper (when they can’t remember most of the other years of their life). This is because parts or fragments of the person became embedded into that ground so that it is as much a part of the experience as the person is in that memory. Asking the questions of the objects will bring them to life and the part of the person that dissociated or fragmented into that image will also come out. The reason the ground is important is because when a person recalls an experience, they can often remember such exquisite detail as the pattern on the carpet or the wallpaper (when they can’t remember most of the other years of their life).
