ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author wants to free himself a little from the constraints of trying to convey information, and let his imagination flow. He explores some wider (wilder?) and more speculative ideas about embodied relating, human history, birth, growing up, origins and futures, telepathy, ecosystemic thinking, and the connectedness of all things. Embodied relating happens, of course, not only in the therapy room, and not even only between human beings. There is a constant interplay between our relationship with other people, our relationship with our own bodymind experience, and our relationship with the world itself and all the other-than-human and more-than-human entities which exist there. Appreciating the radical uncontrollability of the body is one way into an ecosystemic perspective. Both body and ecosystem are open non-linear systems, which balance themselves without external control—"orchestras without a conductor", as Wolf Singer characterises the brain.
