an unstructured group will be just a dissipation of energy. If it is too structured, then freedom is destroyed -- people feel repressed, regimented, and that too is not good. So one has to keep a balance -- fifty-fifty: fifty percent structured, but always with possibilities, open possibilities. Then much will be the result.
Later on we can have long, three-month groups, then there is no need for any structure. But things are bound to happen then, because how long can you avoid them ? But in a shorter time period if there is no structure, then everything will simply fizzle out. A little structure is a must.
And think more of primal. Don't think of other groups because there are other groups already. If you start doing rebirthing processes there, then Rebirthing will not be of any use. You need not bring other groups into it. A little bit is okay but your main work should be on primal screaming; you should insist on that. That should remain the main body of the work. And fifty percent structure is perfectly good.
And it is nothing to do with the group energy -- it is just too hot now so everybody is low.
It is just that the climate is too heavy and everybody is feeling tired. It is not just an accident that the east is lazy: it is because of the heat. The heat is such that just to survive is enough work. When it is cold, one wants to do something to keep oneself warm; when it is hot one simply wants to rest to keep oneself cool. That's why -- otherwise there is no problem.
But remember, fifty percent structure. Don't be too obsessed with structure. So freedom is there -- allow a few things to happen on their own -- but not one hundred percent freedom, otherwise you won't come to any results. People may enjoy but enjoyment is not the real thing. The real thing is that some insights should happen to them.
But it is just summer and nothing else. Soon it will be gone and things will start flowing.
