Publisher's Synopsis
You Have Three Selves, 2nd Ed, Simply the Clearest Model of the Whole Person, Vol. 1: Orientation The Three Selves is the simplest, most elegant model, of the whole person yet proposed. Not theory, this is a model from clairvoyant observation. In a nutshell, soul in the waking adult, human experience is supported by: 1) A middle, rational, Awake Conscious Self, either thinking or feeling-dominant. Conscious Self is supported by two subordinate helper selves: 2) A lower frequency Basic Self, Immune System Self, inner child, etheric body intelligence, Habit Body (22 or more names), 3) A higher frequency High Self, Guardian Angel. It provides access to higher spiritual Beings, on an as-needed basis. High Self is our capacity to connect with the Bigger Me, to live with 'God as my Partner'-when and if Conscious Self chooses to connect with its own Divinity. Three Selves is the Western version of Ho'oponopono, Hawaiian shamanism, Huna-Kahuna. Hawaiian Kahuna priests preserved this model of the whole person from possibly Lemurian times. The human experience is emphatically placed in a the context of soul having a human experience, including reincarnation. In the Westernized 3S, the Kahuna emphasis on self-forgiveness persists. The 3S is body-based, not theoretical, nothing "quantum" here. The inner child, the lowest one-third of the Three Selves, remains the most widely used holistic model of the human being at this time. Its versatility for counselors, healers, and therapists is un-disputed. The Three Selves is the whole of our waking psyche; inner child is the lowest one-third. A map is not the territory; yet, the better the map, the easier to navigate the territory. Compose your own vision of the whole-person. This is source code for the human psyche, the nature of human nature. With practice, each of our two helper selves is accessible thru self-muscle-testing of all kinds, useful for verifying and validating your own subjective impressions and intuitions. If a simpler, clearer map-model of the hologram of the whole person exists, please contact me. If valid and body-based, we will all gladly move on to that one. The Three Selves has its greatest use as a model of the whole-person. The 3S remains the most inclusive candidate for a "Big Tent" in Goethean Holistic Psychology. Thru its lens, psychotherapeutic growth ideas, methods and practices, from the 1900s and earlier, can be more easily aggregated and compared objectively. This is a revised, shorter, second edition of the first comprehensive textbook attempted so far, volumes 1 of 2. Written in an interactive, fun style by a Waldorf-trained school teacher and Health Intuitive. Guess what else? The 3S corresponds exactly with the Three Orders of Science we use everyday. The Three Selves is FUN! Pop cultural reflections are all around us and are taken up in Vol. 2. The two volumes of the 3S show the strong natural connections between the 3S and: - Emotional IQ, - Compassionate (nonviolent) Communication, - psychotherapy and body-based psychotherapies, - talk therapy of all kinds, - Transactional Analysis, - NLP and Brief Therapy.
