The simple people say to El, the young-old Elephant: 'We live dreamtime, modern man live correct language, science-matter time.
Why no bring more dreamtime? Dreamtime ... oh dreamtime world please, come more!'

~~Cultivating Emotional intelligence~~

Finding the right balance between the intellect and emotions leads to an experiential awareness of our intuition. This awareness can easily accommodate strong emotions, as well as feelings of a lighter nature.

In the Maba practices, two kinds of feelings and emotions will surface: First, our conditioned feelings and their culturally transferred manifestations, which tend to keep us fragmented and alienated. Subsequently, our Primal feelings - those deeper basic tribal emotions and feelings that long for unity, simplicity and belonging. These emotions do not contradict the feelings of mindfulness and non-attachment.

To allow these processes to take place, a community framework is necessary to balance and sustain us, psychologically.

Communication difficulties which arise can be addressed and resolved on the:

a) verbal level.

b) by the non-verbal and/or artistic level.

c) On both the verbal and nonverbal levels,
within a group setting or community gathering

The above processes and practices are not enforced by "do's" and "don'ts", but rather are encouraged within a flexible group culture which allows for spontaneity and individual expression.

PERSONAL BACKGROUND AND THE AAAHH COMMUNITY.

Naturally, some of us may have a need to first talk and analyze our emotional baggage, and that is OK, too. Some people may find a need to work their way through all manner of psychoanalysis or psychotherapies. As soon as we semi-consciously or consciously become aware of our problems, we adjust them to the Aaahh framework and culture.

In such a community, our main drive is not competition, but rather to encourage more cooperation and creativity. Here, the spoken and unspoken codes of behaviour and the psychological markers within our interactions are known, acknowledged and freely accepted. Our very personal, quirky and (most often) subconscious behaviours are recognised and accommodated on a broader emotional and social base. Thus, it is easier to handle problems in a responsible and democratic spirit. When our conscious, semi-conscious and unconscious facets are aligned, such a community can come into being, naturally.

The Aaahh practices can form the basis for a climate of creative and imaginative expressions, and implied comprehension. They help us to find more sustainable meaning in such expressions, rather than interpretation and communication being expressed primarily through emotionally overloaded language, or excess information. This kind of sharing in a group environment validates and fosters each person's abilities, skills and values, within an ongoing group culture.
