ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a simplistic version of the split between the hidden unconscious and the manifest. For the Life Focus Community group, such spontaneous promise of the appearance of the hidden remains important, but spontaneity is not enough, as the program design must address a community of people. The chapter suggests that the idea of the accessible hidden adds a dimension of drama to ordinary experience and illustrates that it is a key influence in representing a more full dimensionality in one's life. It is the work of the Life Focus Community group to capture this lightning in a bottle, activating the hidden toward an integration with the manifest. The communally directed elaboration of experience serves as an observational callisthenic, cultivating the look inward. Many people commonly exchange just experiences of self-examination in their everyday lives, but they usually do so only under special conditions of intimacy.
