Foreword

We are life energy, and this life energy is either flowing freely or frozen in patterns.

When our energy is in flow, we feel alive. We live from love, and we work from meaning. There is an awareness of what is good for us and what is good for those around us. We know what we want, and we’re willing to go through the fire for it. We know what love is, and nothing keeps us from loving.

When our life energy is frozen in patterns, it doesn’t flow. It’s bound in body symptoms, in mental states, in relationships, in circumstances, and in an environment that doesn’t change. The core characteristic of a pattern is its repetitiveness. It’s the same each day, each week, and over years. The workplace is dull; the people are boring; and the days pass without fun, without joy, without meaning, and without growth.

Our lives seem like blind mirrors of what once kept us alive and vibrant. The cocoons that once protected us have become cages for so long that we can’t imagine we have ever flown.

Cathy Caswell’s book departs from a pattern of frozen energy, and it describes how she moved through it into a position of taking charge of her own life again, wriggling herself free from the burden that buried her.

Cathy’s story is quite normal. You grow up, you meet challenges, you overcome them, you’re trained in a profession, you get a job, and you get married. You find a family, and it seems as though all the ingredients are there to live happily ever after.

However, life isn’t a fairy tale. Those tales tell children how to grow up, meet a mate, and find a mission. The magic in fairy tales tells them that life can offer brilliant solutions to insurmountable problems. That way, children learn that there is no problem without a solution, and that’s good. If we flooded our children with problems only adults can solve, they would die before they could start to live.

Once we’ve grown up and found our place in a new family and in a job on a team, we have to learn what responsibility is without someone taking care of us on a daily basis. Cathy learned to work hard as a child, but the limits to that work were set by a pair of hardworking, loving parents.

When she took a job, found her partner, David, and founded a family, nobody set limits anymore. On the contrary: In her large family of origin, Cathy was taught early to do things even before she was told. That made her responsible wherever work had to be done, despite health problems. It seemed to be her mission to be there for others—for all others in need.

All of her life energy was now frozen in patterns. Her days were determined to be filled with obligations from dawn until long after dusk.

The limits showed up slowly. In the beginning, they were denied and muted in more of the same. Later on, they became impossible to deny and took the form of shame, guilt, and sadness because she could no longer do what she saw as her task in the world.

Cathy’s story is one of transformation. I’ve been a witness to this transformation, and I feel honored and grateful that I’ve been able to play a role in it through my development of Logosynthesis.

In a firsthand account, Cathy describes in this book how she started to recognize the patterns, memories, fantasies, and beliefs that limited her. She became aware of how these frozen patterns triggered her into frozen emotions: shame, guilt, anger, and despair.

She also discovered how a simple technique, which she learned to apply by herself, seemed to soften and slow the harshness and immediateness of the pattern. That way, she created little pockets of insight that made it possible to reflect on the pattern and learn to act differently. She also learned that she doesn’t have to solve everything on her own and that she could count on my dear colleague, Trish North.

Through the persistent repetition of the Logosynthesis procedure, Cathy freed her own life energy from the hidden programs that had determined her thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and beliefs for such a long time.

With the help of the Logosynthesis sentences, she became able to use her brilliant, rational mind for what it’s made for: to think about the world as it is—not as it could be, not as it should be, not as it could have been, not as it should have been. Only when we can think about the world as it is, without the bias of previous generations and with a clear awareness of our mission and the corresponding potential, can we solve problems in the present.

If you recognize your story in Cathy’s book, Cathy’s solutions may support you in finding your way to go through the fire to find who you really are for your mission in this life, without driving yourself into exhaustion, without alienating those near you, and with full access to your potential.

Preface

This is not a story of my life falling apart or of leaving town to find myself. It is not a tale of an exciting trip to discover my true passions. There is no drama about needing to escape my life and start over. No, this is a
