What do the most grounded and effective self-healers do? What effective, HAPPY self-healers do that merely talented people do not, is they have a comprehensive VISION of what it means to be fully human and optimally healthy. They have a direction towards wholeness in their own psyche.
We ended 2008 with virtually no functional psychology nor virtually any functional K-college education, for the purposes of personal-spiritual growth. What’s needed is a model of human psyches simple enuf to appeal to high school seniors and college freshmen, engaging enuf to draw young adults into lifelong health of the psyche.
We desperately need new views on the Nature of Human Nature. Without new models, neither a psychology of health nor more education producing independent thinkers can easily develop.
A good basis for healthy psychology comes from Hawaiian mysticism, Huna. In in the West it’s called the Three Selves. The Three Selves (3S) models the whole human psyche including our natural spiritual capacities The model is so simple, versions of it can be taught to five year olds as long as loving is the focus. Always make loving your focus.
The inner child, also called the basic self, is the one breathing you right now. The conscious self only occasionally attends to how we breathe. We CAN breathe consciously–but–frankly, the conscious self has more pressing and interesting things to do. Typically the inner child has the language of a two to five year old; and, can only count to ten.
What does the inner child want? It wants the loving cooperation of the conscious self to bend down and lovingly assist it with all the places it hurts and where it is stuck in life.
The conscious self
The conscious self (c/s) is the one reading this word right now. The job of the c/s is to make healthy choices and decisions. The c/s is trying to do the right thing, at the right time, with the right people, for the right reasons.
3D life is a rapid sequence of opportunities to make better, healthier decisions. As it matures, the c/s learns to make healthy decisions for the highest good of all concerned. In other words, it learns ethics; it learns the value of alignment; it learns, “I am what I align with.” The c/s also has the job of learning cooperation with the b/s and high self.
The c/s is also the one who makes To Do lists and lists of all kinds; including, “Bad people do these kinds of things. . . Good people do these kinds of things . . .”
What does the c/s want? Just ask it; it has the same language you have. In numbers, its domain is 100, the decimal system.
The high self
The high self (h/s) is the one who knows the plan of your present embodiment, the lessons your soul planned to accomplish and what opportunities you have to accomplish your goals. Your h/s is working right now to ascertain the value of the Three Selves for you. That’s its main job, to determine the VALUE of persons, places and experiences for you. In numbers its domain is 1000.
What does the h/s want? Whatever facilitates the soul doing and learning what it signed up to do and learn, whatever propels you forward to align with love, Light and angels and your own divinity.
The conscious selves communicate with each other by talking. Two basic selves in the same room communicate with each other SUBconsciously thru body language and all other non-verbal channels. The high selves communicate with each other UNconsciously, above the yak-yak mind, looking for people who are beneficial for you to relate with. At each level, your 3S communicate with each other.
Whenever two or more people meet, all the basic selves and all the high selves are in constant communication depending on proximity and involvement.
