I thought that the group sand table should pay attention to our cooperation, but it was not what I expected after the experience.
The teacher who gave us the experience class was the doctoral supervisor of Macau City University. He is not much older than me. He took a postdoctoral degree in mathematics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and then took a course in psychoanalysis. The word "great" is used to describe a slip of the tongue.
The teacher first introduced us to the history of sand table. From the perspective of history and China culture, we have a deeper understanding of sand table and sand table. It turns out that the sand table is not Kafka's original creation, and our every step is constantly developed on the basis of our predecessors.
During the group experience, a group of six people, each drawing lots to set up a sand table in turn, and the penultimate person has the right to modify it once. After each sand table, we will have a sharing session. I really want to record my sandbox process, but it involves privacy, so I have to give up and keep it for myself.
The group sand table gives me the feeling that we seem to be playing with sand, but in fact we seem to be talking to ourselves, slowly letting the unconscious appear.
In the group, some people try their best to open the boundaries and hope that communication will take place. Some people unconsciously narrow the boundaries and close communication channels. Someone tried to blend in; Some people want to keep their own quiet place, but they have no intention of being bound by things around them and lost their original direction.
Everyone has a different interpretation of the image represented by each sand tool. Some people think that the tool with sand is a symbol of evil, while others think that it is a spiritual guardian. The teacher did not give a specific interpretation. The teacher said he interpreted it according to everyone's interpretation.
I first put a European-style house in the upper right corner of the empty sand table. The teacher asked, what house is this? Is his function a holiday or a home? I'll position this place as a holiday first. After many twists and turns, my house gradually lost its holiday function and became more at home. The teacher explained that the holiday home lost its function and became a home. If it is home, there should be trees, flowers and children playing around the house, but I don't have them here. There is an owl and a cat next to it, and an ancient old man playing chess. In the lower left corner of the sand table, there is a Buddha statue. The foundation part is somewhat sunken. The teacher explained. There are two opposite corners. The Buddha and the resort symbolize modern civilization and ancient wisdom. The subsidence of the Buddha statue symbolizes the declining position of ancient civilization in today's society. The confrontation between the two civilizations illustrates the current social situation. The resort is a plastic dream house, and the clay animals and old people next to it seem out of place. It suddenly dawned on me, did it also reflect that I was not clear about my present situation and didn't know how to integrate it, so I sought the help of ancient wise old people, which is why I am studying psychoanalysis now.
After that, we did two rounds, but we couldn't reach the connection, ending the sand table. When I look back at the sand tools I put every time and connect with my reality, I seem to know myself better.
When lamenting the magic of the sand table, the teacher said that making sand tables several times more may trigger a "complex" for everyone and make them look deeper.
When writing this memory, it seems that there are many things that are difficult to express in words. This is its power.
What is the most difficult thing in this world? You should know yourself, because this road will never end.
