Abstract

The world is in a tremendous transition and for each individual in a life transition. The chance of a transition consists in the acquisition of new life opportunities for the individual and for the ONE WORLD, in which each individual consciously takes responsibility for the big picture. In the currently rising refugee problem the ONE WORLD is clear: It is no longer possible, problems alone than to other countries belonging, keep away from us. So the fear of the unknown is clear. The stranger scares and the stranger arouses curiosity. This applies to the outer strangers as well as for the stranger in our interior. C.G. Jung speaks of the archetypes of the stranger. We all have somehow experienced expulsion; the pain be cured by others. The encounter with the other side in us and the outer beds includes the opportunity for increased awareness. For us, for the inner work to us follows: gain inner strength, centeredness, awareness; established encounter with the stranger in ourselves; by our supporting us identity the real encounter with the stranger, dare to refugees.
