'To thine own self be true' - Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'
We think we know something about ourselves, our likes and dislikes, and about people we live, work and mix with. How often are we surprised when someone does something totally unexpected? Over time, we come to expect certain sorts of comment or reaction. On the Internet we gain an impression of those we engage with. Sometimes we mesh with others, things work pretty well. Other times they are discordant. How often does a row blow up over nothing, just when things seemed to be going along fine? If we take time to work out some of what went wrong, we may get better at it.
When Transactional Analysis ('Games People Play' by Eric Berne) came on the scene, along with other strategies for describing personality and behaviour, people became familiar with the concept of 'ego states', and more ways of interacting. Psychosynthesis encouraged us to think of having about six subpersonalities, and there was something called Parts Therapy. If we focussed on aspects of character or personality, played around with moods or modes, there could be a shot at other ways of handling things, greater insight, and hopefully integration.
One of my concerns about all this so-called 'therapy' is that it can grow into a culture where someone is always there to imply we really ought to change, that you or I or anyone are not adequate as we are, have not enough self-worth etc. Is that not a sufficiently un-self-fulfilling prophecy to dump on others!
When it comes to parts of personality, sure it can be a useful discussion point, but then to move on, not make it a requirement. I read something about denied parts of personality taking on a life of their own, as in the term 'dissociated complex'. Yes, and what if other people give them validity, a unique name, or actually help them to strengthen and expand?
A number of issues have a mention here. It has not been possible to give in-depth analysis of pro's & cons, but the Blog acts as a lead-in to some areas that may be new to readers, or as to the general context in which they appear. See what you think and take it from there.
A temporary lock was just placed on my Twitter account for the very first time. I had to delete the following:
Could a #vaccine #combine with #5G? Or xyz? Do your own #research. "#Nerve #cell #proteins, #activated by heat + mechanical pressure can be #genetically #engineered to be sensitive to #radio #waves + #magnetic #fields by attaching to an #iron-storing #protein called #ferritin."
Search for 'ferritin' information going back to before the current vaccination situation. It may not have relevance, but can we not raise questions about any of this? As a delivery driver commented to me in a random conversation, 'This isn't over yet. We all have to look after ourselves.'
