	This work involves a new understanding of the origin of conflict as well as the necessary conditions for a restoration of wholeness. This new view is grounded in a depth heuristic discovery of the unconscious, transpersonal process by which experiences are transmitted between people such that distressing, intolerable experiences become displaced into (or linked to) others. (This phenomenon has been called projective identification.) This fundamental aspect of the transpersonal web of connections (or shared field of consciousness) that link us to other times, places, and persons is the unseen source of conflict, violence, and suffering; as well as the means to its resolution. Conflict, violence, destructiveness, and evil itself are not aberrations. They are the perfectly natural result of unmet displaced experiences which inevitably compel destructive actions, while actually simply crying out for recognition and reception. This leads to a simple and effective response: a method that is accessible and applicable to all forms of human conflict and destructiveness. Our own innate capacity for affective experience and expression is always healthy, healing, wholesome, and reliable; while affective experiences and expressions that result from displaced experiences are just as inevitably divisive, disruptive and destructive. This distinction is the most necessary and vital avenue for effectively transforming persistent emotional pain, conflict, violence, destructiveness, and evil in our own inner lives, in our relationships, within families and other groups, and in our communities. Every conflict, every problem situation, every persistent emotional pain or distress is comprised of a combination of our own experience (which will reliably cause us no great difficulty) and another’s displaced experience (which will reliably continue to cause us a great deal of difficulty until it is recognized for what it is and resolved through receptive awareness.)
