When I was asked about my dreams for 2007, I had mentioned a meeting in the
second last chapter of the letter that can be read at this following link:
http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/holistiche lping/message/ 506
So on the 3rd of January 07, I had that meeting with 2 young clinical
psychologists from the U of A, who are working on their phd.
The meeting went on for a solid hour. I was saddened that they were looking
for "patients" instead of partners. So I offered my services, to seek out
with them the means by which we can be positioned to blaze the trail from
patient and/or client to the governing partnership in life style renewal
toward sustainability.
The idea of the partnership offers itself in the context of addressing
directly all the causes of socio-cultural ailments such as domestic
violence, oppression and poverty, homelessness, mental health and
non-violent criminal activity with the 24 hour a day common front, made of
the alliance between Restorative Justice and Community Mental Health.
This common front would serve to deploy the organic experience of spiritual
unity from the basis of personal and communal Health-Education- Correction
in which the partnership could be grounded and cultivated in the
collaboration of all involved.

Here is my letter of feedback on my meeting with the 2 clinical
psychologists of the U of Alberta:
FIRST TOUCH DIGEST...
HOPING NOT TO BE THE LAST...
Dear ... and ...,
It was good meeting you both. I've agreed with what you each had to say.
However, I got a strong feeling when I described my experience with Christ
and the New-Testament, that I made it difficult for any rational connection
to be followed through.
My apologies for making it awkeward, but the support I seek, is the
simplicity of being who I am, grounded in the complete authenticity of love
and truth that God has caused to grow in my life, in spite of my faillings.
He's been applying His sheer goodneess of mercy and grace to my life
experience, which I keep on failing on and on, because of that "being stuck"
that you, ... , talked about.
As I explained, my personal being stuck is at the point of where mental
health meets up with Faith, and where Faith comes to the rescue of mental
health.
It is my embodyment of the personal and societal problem which once the
solution is found, has the potential of reconciling Eastern and Western
approach to Health - Education - Correction, thereby setting the point of
focus to set the pace of sustainable globalization with an intelligible
scaling development from micro to macro with the experience of universal
citizenship from personal to communal, radiating from local to global, as
opposed to militating from deceit to ongoing repeat of our historical
mistakes of wars and corruption.
My wife and children are hurting because of such a condition of my personal
repeat of humanity's mistakes, as a husband and father.
These mistakes are MY responasability to take on, while coming at me from
the same as where it comes for everyone, namely, the past. These mistakes
are being passed on through genes and live on in the socio-cultural context
of the peer system we each come from.
That is why I seek the contacts to open up the facility where the 24 hours a
day welcome into wellbeing can be made
with a clear focus on justice and personal growth, being made available to
all practitioners of community mental health and restorative justice and to
their work's custom needs, from within the peer systems. It can be called
trend reversal from renewal.
There is then a chance for personal growth to take its place at the core of
the communal experience of governing from self-control, where the social
fabric can get woven in the justice, peace and joy that we need and seek.
The population that will find itself upon that journey of coming together,
will be partaking in the assembling of the Recovery Road from
self-destruction to self-control and community self-government.
Such inner movement serves to feed the healing of the meaning, where the
Faculty of living is grounded to host all human experience, knowledge,
sciences and faculties into the individual and communal fullfilment.
So in conclusion of our first encounter, our possible point of encounter is
in the fact that you are grounded in the "official service of psychology"
which one of you agreed openly that the word "science" does not apply to
psychology and psychiatry, as of yet! I come from the wild, where much of
my life is stuck because of the dishonesty of the rule of ignorance and of
indifference.
In the support group that you propose, I offer my experience as a testmony
of the need of Faith for the balance of mental health and to demonstrate
that Faith is the source of the justice that restores mental health... "The
just shall live by faith".
The problem that I propose to address, is in making our encounter into the
partnership that is needed, but which the system is not equipped to
support... yet! We are therefore at the threshold of a new trail to be
pioneered...
Is there enough intellectual honesty available to and within us all for such
a journey???
Can we get ignited into such a torch as one that can ignite the radiation of
human intelligence at its best???
For instance, can we explore how to position your group to invite all
disillusioned U of A professors and researchers to find within your effort,
the trail to discover the speech of freedom that leads on to the freedom of
speech, where time spent together becomes a constant investment of
completing connectivity between the parts and the whole?
Aiming for anything else is not needed, never was and never will be, because
that is where lies the battle for love and truth to rule in the clarity of
transparency. ..
Our meeting was on the 3rd and I mentioned to you both that on that morning,
as I wrote in my usual forums, I did so with our coming meeting in mind and
that I thought it related nicely to the experience we had on that morning.
Here are the letters I wrote, on the morning before meeting you:

Dear Father in heaven and into our lives, thank You for the opportunity of
meeting with the 2 young psychologists.
Can You please look after the crystalization of our contact in Your
Presence, in the completion of Your joy and of our service in Your will.
Show us how and where to open up to Your intimacy between us and to know
quickly if You have laid a path of destiny for us to travel on together, or
not. However You choose to respond regarding the U of A meeting, I ask You
to guide me openly to the door that You have prepared for the Faith born of
You to emerge to rescue personal and communal mental health with the
simplicity of devotion to the sanctity of Your love and holiness! I ask in
Your name...amen to Your Yes in us all...
Benoit
