A New Life for Gestalt Therapy: How the Laws of Consciousness Mechanics and the Ekvilibro Game Transform the Work with Awareness, Contact, and Polarities

This theoretical paper connects Fritz Perls' Gestalt therapy concepts—awareness, contact boundary, figure and ground, unfinished gestalts, polarities, the paradoxical theory of change, avoidance mechanisms, dreams, and responsibility—with the laws of the mechanics of consciousness (Ekvilibro) and the Ekvilibro Game method. Awareness is defined as activation of the Observer, stopping automatic movement between duality poles. The contact boundary is where the Observer emerges between 'I' and 'world'. Figure and ground follow the Third Law: each figure has a paired ground. Unfinished gestalts are frozen dualities with high identification mass. Polarities are inseparable opposites.
