Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A practical guide to recognizing and overcoming the patterns and influences of the four generations before you
• Provides exercises to uncover your family’s psychological heritage, heal negative patterns of behavior and illness in your family tree, and discover your true self
• Explains how we are the product of two forces: repetition of familial patterns from the past and creation of new ideas from the Universal Consciousness of the future
• Interwoven with examples from Jodorowsky’s own life and his work with the tarot, psychoanalysis, and psychomagic
The family tree is not merely vital statistics about your ancestors. It is an embodied sense of self that we inherit from at least four prior generations, constituting both a life-giving treasure and a deadly trap. Each of us is both an heir of our lineage and a necessary variation that brings the family into new territory. Are you doomed to repeat the patterns of your parents and grandparents? Or can you harness your familial and individual talents to create your own destiny?
In Metagenealogy, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa show how every individual is the product of two forces: the imitating force, directed by the family group acting from the past, and the creative force, driven by the Universal Consciousness from the future. Interweaving examples from Jodorowsky’s own life and his work with the tarot, psychoanalysis, and psychomagic, the authors provide exercises, visualizations, and meditations to discover your family’s psychological heritage and open yourself to the growth and creativity of Universal Consciousness. They reveal how identifying the patterns, emotional programming, and successes and failures of the four generations that influence you--your siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and great-grandparents--allows you to see beyond the stable identity formed by family lineage. It frees you to overcome your inherited subconscious patterns of behavior and illness, stop the transmission of these patterns to future generations, and reconnect with your true self and unique creative purpose in life.
By understanding your family tree and your place in it, you open your ability to heal the ancient struggle between the repetitive forces of the past and the creative forces of the future.

“Cose che ho imparato da questo librone:
.
Capire cosa ti è stato tramandato dai tuoi genitori/nonni/avi per potertene liberare (una visione del mondo, un trauma, una negatività, un malessere). Fare albero genealogico con dettagli specifici (lavoro, malattie, aborti) aiuta
.
Trattare la realtà come un sogno e chiedersi: "perché sto sognando questa situazione?". Che l'inconscio capisce solo simboli e riti
.
Guarire se stessi per guarire la società: "quando una società annovera troppe famiglie malate, diventa autodistruttiva".
"Partecipare alla formazione dell'umanità, alla sua evoluzione"
"Accettare che niente è personale e che prima di essere individui si è umanità"
.
"Non si è mai responsabili dei nodi di cui si portano le tracce"
.
"Mi faccio quello che mi è stato fatto. Non mi do quello che non mi è stato dato"
.
"Chiedere a un bambino di farsi carico dei problemi emozionali dei genitori come se fosse un adulto in grado di contenere il loro disagio, il loro lutto, un sentimento di abbandono, è un abuso grave"
.
"I figli che sono stati amati e trattati bene non hanno nessuna difficoltà a lasciare la casa dei genitori, mentre le persone maltrattate nell'infanzia fanno molta fatica a troncare i legami"
.
Leggere Jodorowsky, fare i suoi esercizi, seguire i suoi suggerimenti mi fa tornare a uno stato di serenità in cui mi pare che tutto sia possibile. È l'autore cui tornò quando ronzo intorno a degli ostacoli che non so come interpretare, figurarsi come risolvere.”
