Provers: Petra Balloch, Ursula Bleeck-Daehnrich, Maria Croonenberg, Britta Dähnrich, Helena van Dijk, Dorothea Hochhuth-Grühn, Jan Scholten.
BrittaI feel oppressed, I have to follow rules that I don't want to follow; I want to protest, but I can't open my mouth, the whole area around my mouth is paralysed. Everything is blocked, my entire expression is blocked. It feels as if I have been gagged.
I am sitting at a large table with stiff chairs, everything is uncomfortable. The host is sitting at the head of the table, everything is traditional and oppressive, nothing is free. It is the atmosphere of a middle-class family at the turn of the 19th century.
It is an oppressive feeling, like suppressed grief. I feel like I have to endure this for 100 years, I cannot break through and free myself. I do not have the right to scream or say no.
The tightness in my chest is getting stronger and stronger, it could turn into asthma.
I have to follow the rules. At the same time, I am very strong and project an image to the outside world as if I am totally competent and can handle anything.
But it also feels good to be in a simple world where everything is still good and easy.
Subtle abuse, secret oppression.
Ursula‘I exude my scent.’ An impression of freshness and lightness.
The image: A woman dances cheerfully and lightly across a flower meadow in a summer dress. She is not outside, but inside. It is an inner joy.
My feet were previously on tiptoes. Now I have a feeling of being grounded and my feet are on the ground. This is connected with a feeling of calmness.
My heart calms down and it is as if a wide space is created around it.
I have the impulse to turn the material upside down. Immediately, my gaze lifts into the distance. A view into the distance, without me identifying with what I see. The whole space around me is expanding.
Suddenly, I become excited inside and my heart starts pounding. It is a feeling between tension (constriction) and expansiveness.
The image of a man and a woman appears. The man appears proud, upright, and his gaze is directed into the distance. There is something patriarchal about him. The woman appears more lively, light, but she knows exactly what she wants.
PetraForehead and upper head: heavy, pressure.
Heart palpitations.
Throat tight.
Pressure on the thorax.
Strong energy, flowing horizontally through the upper body, upper head, and thorax.
Power plant.
Voices from the power plant control center, they have everything under control, they are not
even on site but outsourced somewhere else in another country, e.g., the Philippines.
Resistance is futile, resistance generates more energy and currents in the head.
Ohm, Ω, electrical resistance.
“I cannot believe it.” I just cannot believe that they have it under control at the power plant.
Movie “China Syndrome” (1979): Actor Jack Lemmon as a supervisor in the control center.
(nuclear meltdown through the earth all the way to China).
Denied safety deficiencies.
The harder they try, the more resistance they get.
Infected, infiltrated, influenced. And there is also evidence of this.
But I should be quiet and just sleep.
Hanging on a drip, hanging on a needle.
HelenaHard, smoothly, stingy, before you know it, it stings you. If you go with its direction it is okay. It keeps hitting me with its nerve like pinching pain.
The pain is like that from a needle, like an injection.
It is a pushy, obtrusive quality. It just takes the space in my head with its scent. Like that. Somehow it is fine because it is right. On the left side in my head it is more intrusive.
It keeps stinging me by accident, then here, then there, my lip, my cheek, my finger, top of my hand, then my cheek. Hard to deal with. It goes everywhere. It’s all over the place.
I get palpitations.
I feel congestion in my head, worse in the right upper part of my head.
The quality is pushing, speedy, but not hasty, just quick and very accurate.
Someone who is right.
A male person, in his sixties, with a suit, tall, year of nineteen sixties, sitting in a chair waiting for the others to come. He can lean backwards, because he knows what he wants, so he doesn’t spend energy on things that do not matter.
He is very accurate and efficient. That is why he is quicker than others. He doesn’t want to be first. He is just accurate and therefore quicker. He knows when it’s good. Althou he reaches far, touching and influencing a lot, work is like having a holiday because he has success with what he does. So he sits alone, waiting for the rest to follow. But that is why he sits alone. Before the others have arrived he cleared out his mind about the job, project, mission and he is done, so he already wants to move on to the next.
He is not deliberately stinging but just because how he is, he is pricking the people around him.
