-DOROTHY HILL, CEO Acadia Hospital - Speaker: Jung Seminar, Bowdoin College
Brunswick, ME December 10, 2002 ,
"Stan Block succeeded in making available and useful to a sizeable and varied seminar audiences the substance of his fine book, BRIDGING THE I-SYSTEM: Unifying Spirituality and Behavior.
The point of his presentation was to assist the person to set aside his "busy head" so as to be fully present to the fullness of present experience, including the usually unnoticed details of the sensate. The way to approximate this goal is to cultivate "choiceless awarness," which entails overcoming the narrowness and superficiality of the I-System, befriending it by introducing it the source.
The presentation was enhanced by Stan's natural, easy manner, radiating wisdom and compassion. It was a fitting conclusion to the Seminar's unusually successful semester.
WILLIAM D. GEOGHEGAN, Ph.D., Professor of Religion, Emeritus, Bowdoin College, author of JUNG'S PSYCHOLOGY AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AND WAY OF LIFE: A dialogue University Press of America, 2002.
Stan Block's presentation of "Bridging the I-System" has a fresh way of elucidating what Jungians refer to as the ego and its complexes along the ego-self axis. His concern to bridge the I-System to the "Source" seems to share a bond, though not in vocabulary, with the spirit of Jung's deepest concern.
PAUL D. HUSS, D.Min., Pastoral Counselor, Jungian Analyst, Diploma: C.G. Jung Institute-Zurich, Diplomate: AAPC." - Clinical Presentation, Cornerstone Counseling Center
Salt Lake City, Utah November 11, 2002
"What an eye opener! Dr. Block's presentation of the "I-System" provided our clinical staff with an innovative new therapeutic tool. One of the best relieved talks in years. Our staff was uniformly enthusiastic and positively motivated. Dr. Block has been invited back to deepen our understanding and use of Bridging the I-System in our work"
-DR. JULES HARRIS - Speaker, Atlas Orthogonist Advance Seminar
Lacey, WA November 9, 2002
"Wonderful presentation! I strongly recommend that Bridging The I-System be read by all our doctors and their patients."
-Dr. ROY SWEAT - Speaker, Religious Leaders Dialogue Group
Salt Lake City, Utah- November 7, 2002
"Religious leaders representing L.D.S, Muslim and Protestant faiths from Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church, Disciples of the Christ and many other denominations were excited and impressed about Dr. Block's Bridging The I-System presentation. His very simple method to deepen our personal faith and compassionate actions was truly a gift."

-PARTICIPANT
"The I-System has taught me that I can enjoy life no matter what goes on. I can sense when the I-System is narrowing down my awareness of the source. It is the coolest feeling to be aware of that and come back to the present with bridging methods. I am less afraid of being who I am and can accept other as they are."
