The supramodal space:
The missing link between body, soul and spirit!

Normally we talk of experiences as either bodily or psychological, as either sensory perceptions, feelings, inner images or thoughts. But these modalities are only fragments of larger experiential wholes, which are combined by a supramodal synesthetic sense. The supramodal sense makes it possible to see how something will be felt when touched, to compare the intensity of a visual impression and a sound, to sense a feeling in the body.

In everyday consciousness the separate experiential modalities function as channels for the processing of information, and we are able to be aware of only one of these channels at a time. But in altered states of consciousness we can enter a supramodal space in which conscious and unconscious processes are working at a much faster speed than during normal waking consciousness, and with an immensely enhanced memory.

Synesthesia or supramodal sensing has mostly been described as deviations from normal experience, for example in autism or by specially gifted poets. In this presentation I will show that it is a very natural experience. It is well known that a child perceives in this way in the early years of his life. It lies behind all forms of creative or intuitive expertise. It can be developed as tool for psychotherapy, for working with dreams and psychosomatics. Used in conjunction with meditation and other forms of introspection, it gives access to higher levels of consciousness. It thus represents an important link between body, soul and spirit.

He is also certified in Gestalt therapy, psychodrama and body psychotherapy. He completed four years of training in Biosynthesis with David Boadella. At the same time he completed training as a meditation teacher.

His specialist area is the dream, integrating aspects of Freudian and Jungian dream work into the therapy, enriched with biosynthetic body work, picture therapy, psychodrama and meditation. His overall paradigm is a cybernetic and systemic approach. Ole is a Biosynthesis therapist, and has been a student of Bob Moore for a long time.

He is the author of numerous books about the dream and consciousness, in which he incorporates cybernetic models. Examples of his books include “The Dimension of Dreams” (published in several languages including English – Fromm International Publishers), “Consciousness – the level of consciousness”.
