The psyche is comprised of energy patterns: personal, familial, ancestral, collective, primal. It is a vast energy field and makes us who we are in the world.
We keep changing according to the situation. At times we are triggered by a word, someone’s gesture, approval or disapproval, an old memory. We then blame the other person. However, actually the slumbering parts of our own psyche have been activated.
Have you ever questioned the underlying life themes of being a victim/black sheep of the family/the grieving mother/the downtrodden female/the warrior/the fighter for justice/ the peacemaker/the abandoned/the protector, et al? These are aspects of our psyche. AND these need not be life themes. They can be replaced by a positive, affirming way of being. Yes, it is your Being that undergoes a shift.
It is quite mind-boggling to discover how vast and varied our psyche is. (Remember Jekyll and Hyde? And these were only two aspects!!) Imagine meeting multiple aspects of your psyche! Its exciting, hugely fascinating and liberating.
Some of the aspects of the Psyche are: The abandoned one, The Anxious one, The lost soul, The Depressed one, The one in hiding, The Bad Mother, The rejected one, The Failed Father, The Voiceless one, The Addict, The Unloved one, The Critic, The Victim, The Helper, The Artist, The Peacemker, The Rebel, The Perfect, The Black Sheep.
