"Personal mastery goes beyond competence and skills...it means approaching one's life as a creative work, living life from a creative as opposes to a reactive viewpoint."
Peter Senge
Personal power is not about controlling anyone or anything. It is the interaction of the various thought processes of your personality that allows your true self to shine through. Personal power is the willingness to make the choice of self discovery and choose which reality you wish to foster and activate in your life.
Spiritual Psychology
World religions, philosophers and notable psychologists have sought to explore the relationships between the mind, body and soul. Transpersonal or Spiritual Psychology is a way to put you in touch with the triad of your being. It is a way in which to bridge the gap between the emotional and spiritual selves for overall health and healing. In a world of complex relationships, knowing the wisdom of the self is the most critical because it is the pivotal point that all other interpersonal dynamics are based.
In psychology, the human mind is personified into three divisions; the Id, Ego and Superego. These three elements exchange dynamics which constitute Life Dramas in all relationships with others and with ourselves. Briefly they are:
ID
- Characterized by desiring
- Ruled by the pleasure principle
- Operates as the unconscious mind
- Most primitive, innate, instinctual motivational forces
- Wants immediate satisfaction
- Urges control motivation
Ego
- Characterized by Reasoning
- Ruled by reality principle
- Operates as the conscious sense of self
- Strategizes to gain desires and urges
- Learns skills, uses memories and experiences
- Uses defense mechanisms to aid repression of desires and urges
- Controls functions of sensation, feeling, thinking, intuition
SuperEgo
- Characterized by Spirited qualities
- Conscious of right and wrong
- Pride and self-satisfaction
- Uses guilt and self reproach to enforce rules
- Moral agent linking subconscious and conscious minds
- Part of the unconscious mind of learned experiences
- Holds primitive child based perceptions
Going through the web site and the exercises herein, you will discover a unique dialogue between the various aspects of your Id-Ego-SuperEgo. You will discover the constant interaction among these functions that determine your behavioral responses and your personal and worldly perceptions. The range of human potential is based upon layers of external conditioned realities that are derived from childhood perceptions. Perceptions thus change due to experiences and likewise, experiences are tied a world of complex emotions, survival strategies and life dramas. Since perceptions are based in emotions they can always be traced to the root cause. As many people are discovering, their soul journey may take them deeper than imagined to actually rewrite the old life script and gain a deeper appreciation for others.
"Inner Wisdom" goes deeper into your own mind in order to operate from a higher spiritual level. Basic psychology deals with the divisions of the self, but this web section will treat the whole...one step at a time. It is your guide to personal mastery by engaging your entire sense of purpose in the midst of your mental and emotional programming. The mind-body-emotion systems are determined by beliefs, values and memories of your past. You will discover old perceptions of life become outdated when spiritual emergence blossoms from the soul's quest for answers.
The Secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, nor to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly. 1-
"Present moment," because that is the only moment for us to live. If you miss the present moment, you miss your appointment with life. The Buddha said life is available only in the present moment. "Wonderful moment," that is life that you touch. Suddenly happiness becomes possible. 2
1Buddha
2-Thich Nhat Hanh
For our purposes we are not concerned with the past of many lifetimes, we are only concerned with the Now Moment to learn lessons of this lifetime. Once we find our inner truths the universe will unlock its secrets to a fuller potential. Healing Now is healing the pasts. The light of your timeless soul becomes brighter as you gain your own Inner Wisdom.

"The root of all pain and suffering originates with the human response to this forgotten knowledge. THIS is the reason to know your Soul. And this knowledge will end your suffering forever. To free yourself you must forget what you know and remember what is true. You are a sacred, divine being of eternal consciousness and who you think you are is only the tip of the iceberg."
"You chose this experience, and in doing so accepted a great honor. You are the beloved Earthling, a biological entity, a fallen Spirit, a treasure to the universal consciousness."
