Child within work is detective work. We have a mystery to solve. Why have we been attracted to the the type of people that we have been in relationship with in our life? Why do we react in certain ways in certain situations? Where did our behaviour patterns come from? Why do we feel so: helpless; lonely; desperate; scared; angry; suicidal.<br />Just starting to ask these questions, is the first stage in our healing process. It is healthy to start wondering about the cause and effect dynamics in our life.<br /><br />In our dissociation, we reacted to life out of a black and white, right and wrong, belief paradigm that taught us that is was shameful and bad to be wrong, to make mistakes, to be imperfect and </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">to be human. We formed our core relationship with our self and with life in early childhood based on the messages we got, the emotional trauma we suffered, and the role modelling of the adults around us. As we grew up, we built our relationship with self, other people, and life on the foundation we formed in early childhood.</span><br /> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />Toxic shame is the belief that there is something inherently wrong with who we are, with our being. Guilt is "We made a mistake, We did something wrong." Inherited Original shame is: "We are a mistake. There is something wrong with us."</span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It is very important to start awakening to the Truth that there is nothing inherently wrong with our being it is our relationship with our self and with life that is dysfunctional. And that this relationship was formed in early childhood.<br />That is the purpose of child Within awakening to stop letting our experiences of the past dictate how we respond to life today. It cannot be done without revisiting our childhood dissociation beliefs.<br /><br />We need to become aware, to raise our consciousness. To create a new level of consciousness for ourselves that allows us to observe ourselves as the child within.<br /><br />It is vitally important to start observing our child within - our reactions, our feelings, our thoughts - from a child within perspective place that is not shaming.<br /><br />We all have an inner critic, a critical parent voice, that beats us up with shame, judgment, and fear. The critical parent voice developed to try to control our emotions and our behaviours because we got the message there was something wrong with us and that our survival would be threatened if we did, said, or felt the historical "wrong" things.<br /><br />It is an awakening to start learning how to not give power to those critical shaming voices. We need to start observing ourselves with compassion. This is almost impossible at the beginning of the child within process - having compassion for our self, being Loving to our self, is the hardest thing for us to do.<br /><br />So, we need to start awakening ourselves from a more neutral perspective our perfect trapped child within. Becoming a meditational scientific observer, a detective - the perfect child within of our own inner process.<br /><br />We need to start being that meditation detective, observing ourselves and asking ourselves where that reaction, thought or feeling is really coming from. Why are we feeling this way? What does this remind me of from my past? How old do we feel right now? How old did we act when that happened?<br /><br />One of the amazing things about this process of awakening, is that as we start to become more aware of our own reactions, we also start to become more aware of others. We start seeing when the people in our lives are reacting like a small perfect child, or adolescent, or teenager. The more we become aware of their reactions, the easier it becomes to stop taking their behaviour personally, which then makes it easier to detach from our own reactions and observe ourselves. This starts as we forms deep meditational practice a quietening of the mind.<br />This is a miraculous process, that can help us to change our relationship with our self, with other people, and with life. Becoming more aware, becoming conscious of a new way of looking at ourselves and life is the beginning of a process of learning to awaken to our self/Ego.<br /><br />Detectives always looks at cause and effect. By becoming a detective, solving the mystery of why we have lived our lives as we have, we can start to free ourselves from our child withins past. By awakening our child within, we can start to learn how to really be alive instead of just surviving and enduring. </span></div>

Some see the core as the owner of the system, the part that has the most power and influence over other parts, and the most important part whom the other parts were created to protect. Others see the core as nothing more than the self state that began to integrate sooner than other self states did. There is currently a debate over the existence of cores because it does not easily fit with the theory of structural dissociation. Not all systems have a part that could be identified as a core.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cheAHgrz3zI/W-CetJuZ7KI/AAAAAAAAf6s/RPxaKQ64mE0tExTqXysmosJ9_SANUtmZACLcBGAs/s1600/child%2Bwithin%2Blabour.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="678" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cheAHgrz3zI/W-CetJuZ7KI/AAAAAAAAf6s/RPxaKQ64mE0tExTqXysmosJ9_SANUtmZACLcBGAs/s320/child%2Bwithin%2Blabour.jpg" width="226" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Host: The host is the alter who most commonly uses the body. Host alters collectively fall under the category of fronters, or alters who frequently “front” by taking control of the body and the front, conscious part of the mind. Host alters are responsible for most aspects of daily life, though teams of fronter alters might divide up daily life into more manageable and specialised units such as socialisation, academia, work, and taking care of the body. If the host has spent years unaware of the existence of other alters and the trauma that created them, the host might have an extremely hard time coming to accept their DID. This alter might be used to viewing themselves as the only entity in their body and will likely at least at first view themselves as the core. This may or may not be correct. According to the theory of structural dissociation, all hosts are apparently normal parts.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qMvUOFXQsNc/W-CfFJY21wI/AAAAAAAAf60/hqv4M5hna6krmWRTQvWvY-SqM5XBjuv3wCLcBGAs/s1600/16830987_10154342311842083_8893775613135196913_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="404" height="180" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qMvUOFXQsNc/W-CfFJY21wI/AAAAAAAAf60/hqv4M5hna6krmWRTQvWvY-SqM5XBjuv3wCLcBGAs/s200/16830987_10154342311842083_8893775613135196913_n.jpg" width="200" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Protector: Protectors are alters who protect the body, system, host, core, or other specific alters or groups of alters. Physical protectors might take or try to prevent physical abuse or become aggressive in an attempt to defend against physical abuse. Verbal protectors might take verbal abuse or lash back verbally in order to counter verbal abuse. Emotional protectors might take emotional abuse or comfort other alters to soften the effects of emotional abuse. Sexual protectors might take sexual abuse or attempt to instigate sexual abuse in an attempt to feel more in control of the situation. Caretakers are one type of protector and are focused specifically on looking after younger, weaker, or more vulnerable alters. Persecutors are another specific type of protector that are often not seen as such but that work to protect by harming the system themselves in order to avoid outside harm.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Persecutor: Persecutors are alters who purposefully harm the body, system, host, core, or other alters, sabotage the system’s goals or healing, or work to assist the system’s abuser(s). Persecutors might hold self hatred or provide an outlet for internalised abusive and negative messages. They may believe that hurting the system or other alters is the only way to control them or teach them how to behave and so prevent further and more extreme abuse from outside abusers. They may be reenacting abuse or trying to ensure that future abuse isn’t more harmful due to being preceded by a period of relatively little abuse. Some persecutor alters are introjects of abusers and may or may not understand that they are not actually the abuser themselves.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Introject: Introjects are alters who are based off of an outside person or figure. Introjects can be based off a family member or adult caretaker who supported the dissociative child and provided a positive influence on their life, serving as a source of potential positive messages for the child to internalise. Introjects can also be based off of historical or fictional figures that the dissociative child found strong, courageous, heroic, or otherwise worthy of being emulated and internalised. Unfortunately, introjects can also be of abusers. Abusive introjects, unlike more positive introjects, provide no comfort or moral compass for the system. Instead, they reenact trauma and abuse, sometimes reinforcing abusers’ lessons to prevent further abuse but sometimes serving as a permanent component of an internal flashback. Introjects may or may not see themselves as the individual that they represent. Introjects that are based off of media or fantasy characters are clinically and academically acknowledged and have been mentioned in sources such as "The Haunted Self" by Onno van der Hart, Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis, and Kathy Steele.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Memory Holder: Memory holders are alters who hold memories that are usually traumatic in nature so that other alters do not have to be confronted by the memories. Other times, memory holders might hold memories of childhood innocence or of being loved by the system’s otherwise abusive or neglectful family. In these latter cases, the memory holder might serve to preserve these memories untainted by memories of trauma or to avoid confronting the system with the pain of what the abuse has cost them. Memory holders are highly associated with abuse takers, alters who experience trauma so that other alters do not have to.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Gatekeeper: A gatekeeper is an alter who controls switching or access to front, access to inside or certain areas inside, or access to certain alters or memories. The existence of a gatekeeper is highly stabilizing for a system because gatekeepers can to some extent prevent unwanted switching, failure to switch when necessary, or failure to switch to the correct alter. They can help to prevent traumatic memories from bleeding from the alters who hold them to alters who could not yet handle them. They might police the boundaries between subsystems. Because gatekeepers have control over which alters have access to front, they themselves are often or always near front and so witness everything that happens to the system. They might experience vast amounts of abuse and might present as ageless, emotionless, and nonhuman as a way to process this and cope. Gatekeepers may or may not also serve as an internal self helper.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Internal Self Helper: An internal self helper is an alter who holds vast amounts of knowledge about the system, alters, trauma, and/or internal workings. For those who believe in cores, internal self helpers are often viewed as the first alter to be created or as the normally pseudo-separate internal voice of logic and reason that all people possess. For those who subscribe to the theory of structural dissociation, internal self helpers are often viewed as observing parts or hidden observers, both less than distinct states. Internal self helpers may or may not also serve as a gatekeeper.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Fragment: A fragment is an alter that is not fully differentiated or developed. Fragments may exist to carry out a single function or job, to hold a single memory or emotion, or to represent a single idea. Depending on the way that individual systems use the term, a fragment might be any alter that could not survive if left on its own or that could not pass for a fully developed individual without the help of other alters. Fragments usually have not been exposed to enough complex, different, or interactive experiences to incorporate more into their sense of self and so become more developed and differentiated. It is possible for fragments to develop into more elaborate alters if the need arises or with further use.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It is important to remember that different systems have different needs, and systems may or may not have one or more alter for each of the above jobs. In smaller systems particularly, alters might hold multiple roles, some of which may even at first seem contradictory. For example, an alter might be persecutory to the system yet strive to protect it from outsiders. Other alters might hold roles that are specific to the system and would be difficult to define or generalize. Alters may hold unexpected roles, such as a child part handling finances or presenting in a persecutory manner. While fragments may be defined by their roles, other parts may be able to act in more complex and less reactive ways. The most well developed alters may be able to handle a wide variety of roles if this becomes necessary for the system's continued functioning. Finally, it should be remembered that an alter's roles can change over time.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">"I have an alter who was a persecutor for a long time. A lot of people see persecutors as bad and sometimes even the persecutors themselves see themselves as bad. This alter saw herself as an abuser and carried an awful lot of self hate, but she wasn't bad really because her motives were to protect us even though she wasn't going about it in a very good way. She thought that if she punished us and scared us into 'keeping in line' then other people wouldn't have to hurt us. Eventually she learnt that hurting us wasn't necessary, so now she is trying to learn how to protect us in more healthy ways."</span><br /> <br /> <a href="http://did-research.org/disclaimer/acknowledgements.html"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></a><br /> <a href="http://did-research.org/disclaimer/acknowledgements.html"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></a><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">"I am so incredibly tired of people portraying protectors as dangerous.

Cores, or originals, are the part of the self that existed before the other dissociative parts came into being.

Sometimes, cores will be the only part that is the same age as the body, claims the body’s name, and identifies with the body’s appearance, but hosts may often present in the same or a similar manner. Some cores may not be the same age as the body at all but may have frozen in time after a certain point, leaving their alters to handle their life for them while they retreated inside. Some cores may have more power and sway over their system than any of their alters while other cores may be nothing more than a part who just happened to solidify first. Some cores may be highly protected and shielded by their alters while other cores may be or work with the system’s host. The core may or may not be aware that trauma happened, but they’re unlikely to be emotionally connected and may struggle to accept what the trauma means for them. They may feel that what happened to their alters has nothing to do with their own history and self narrative.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />Not all systems have any original parts. In cases in which there is no core, it’s likely that trauma began at such a young age that the child never got a chance to integrate in any significantly centralised way before they were required to form different self states to handle different aspects of their life. Often, those with no cores are from a family in which disorganised attachment was the norm. As a child, they could never expect consistent care or safety, and they had to be ready to react in a wide variety of ways without much warning or without any mistakes being allowed for.<br /><br />Other systems have multiple core shards. This is the result of either one core forming but later splitting in such a way that all the new alters identify as the original to an equal degree or of multiple alters forming around the same time and all acting as centralising units of the system.<br /><br />There are some individuals who attempt to force fact to meet theory instead of theory to meet fact. These individuals deny the existence of any cores due to their adherence to the theory of structural dissociation. However, even this theory allows for the existence of cores.<br /><br />"I always thought I was the core, and I went through a real crisis when I discovered I wasn't. It's crazy because I don't think of anyone else in the system as being less important or less real, but realising that I was an alter not the core made me feel like I was less important and less real. I became convinced that I was nothing more than the role I had been created for and lost my identity for a while. Ever since then I've felt insecure because if I was created to take over from a previous host who is no longer active then I'm afraid one day that will happen to me too."</span>

It is the idea that “intulexia” states of mind ( communication states) can be confused with “child within” states (child-like states), resulting in erroneous views about spirituality, and issues related to responsibility.<br /><br />In many models of developmental psychology and spirituality, three basic levels are recognized. Those are:<br /><br />1) Pre-ego (roughly birth to age 2 or so)<br /><br />2) Ego (roughly from age 2 on, with the development of language skills)<br /><br />3) Trans-ego (possible in adults who commit to working on themselves)<br /><br />One of the meanings of “trans” is “beyond”. When we commit to a spiritual path (in whatever form) we are basically attempting to “wake up” to our higher nature — or, to go “beyond the ego”. But what does this really mean?<br /><br />First, it helps to ask, what is the ego? Basically, it is the sense of separate identity — “me”, “mine”, etc. The ego is basic to individual development and is not inherently bad in itself. In fact, it is necessary for both survival, and individuation (recognizing who we are in distinction to others). Something can be initially known only in contrast to something that it is not. For example, a white dot with no border around it placed on an equally white background will not be visible — for all intents and purposes, it does not exist. But a white dot on a black background immediately leaps into appearance. In the psychological realm, the ego is what provides this basic contrast. “I am me, and you are you, therefore I exist.” <br /><br />As children growing up we had to learn how to separate from our parents (in particular, our mother, as we were originally joined with her body). This is sometimes called the process of “differentiating”. The development of our ego was basic to this process, and thus it is important that a young person develops a “healthy ego”, which means, good boundaries, solid sense of self, good self-esteem, and so on.<br /><br />Problems with ego-development are, however, common, and often make it difficult for someone to embark on a spiritual path, because we cannot begin to go “beyond” the ego if we have not first developed it in a healthy fashion. This is why many who begin to work on themselves have to do some form of psychotherapy (whether spiritually oriented, or more conventional forms) in order to heal and integrate old wounds, forgive parents or siblings, come to terms with their family history, their self-esteem, and so on.<br /><br />Failure to come to a reasonable degree of healing with our past (in particular, our family roots), and with our basic sense of personal identity, increases the likelihood of falling prey to the “pre-trans fallacy”. That is, venturing into spiritual practices and beginning to confuse altered states of consciousness that can arise from such practices with early-life memories of “oneness” (like being merged with what was around us), along with an abandoned sense of responsibility, precisely because we desire to relive our childhood in a way that we think will get us what we didn’t get back then.<br /><br />Spiritual states of mind do indeed include a sense of “oneness”, but they do not abdicate our basic sense of identity. We do not lose the ability to recognize our own name, and thereby successfully answer the phone or reply to an email (for example). More to the point, we do not abandon responsibility, and all the areas of life in which that is important.<br /><br />Likewise, concerning the role of “rationality” on the spiritual path, there is also much confusion. Trans-ego states of being (deep connection with others, or life, or the universe, deep peace/joy, etc.) are non-rational, which can lead to the belief that all rational states are therefore non-spiritual.<br /><br />From there, it is a short leap to assuming that all non-rational states are therefore spiritual. This however ignores the fact that pre-rational states are different from trans-rational states. That is, the “oneness” felt by a child is not the same as the “oneness” experienced by a mature, responsible adult. The former is more a state of “fusion”. The latter is a state of deep connectedness in which the ability to use the mind (or personal identity) is not lost.<br /><br />The main difference between ordinary rationality, and the rationality of trans-ego states, is that in the latter there is less identification with thought. It’s not that the mind becomes non-functional or somehow disappears, it’s rather that we come to recognize, more and more, that we are not our thoughts, anymore than we are our body. But recognizing that we are not the body does not mean that we abandon the body, mistreat it, or pretend that it is not real (or “not spiritual”). Likewise with the mind.<br /><br />For those who are heavily identified with the mind (common in academia, for example) there is a tendency to dismiss all spiritual states of being as “pre-rational”, that is, a type of regression to immature, self-absorbed states of being. This was one deficiency in Freud’s views, for example, as he saw all spiritual states of mind as a regression to an infantile oceanic state of oneness with the mother. That is also pre-trans fallacy; in this case, confusing post-ego states with pre-ego states, and in so doing, dismissing all spirituality as a childish attempt to avoid being a responsible adult (or “navel gazing”, is it is sometimes derogatorily referred to).<br /><br />Contrarily, it’s common in new age or personal growth communities to develop anti-intellectualism, by confusing pre-rational states with trans-rational, and thereby assuming that any non-rational state must be spiritual — even though many non-rational states are actually highly egocentric or narcissistic (self-absorbed), not to mention simply disturbed (pathological).<br /><br />The natural development from ego to trans-ego is a process of transcending and including. That is, the mind and sense of individuality, along with the capacity for responsibility, are not abandoned, they are rather included on the journey, even as we deepen our sense of who we really are, and orient ourselves toward greater wisdom and compassion and skilful ability to help others.</span><br /> <div> <span style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.4667px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></span></div>

Are you the 'go to' person for everyone else'..“Attempts to control are a reaction to fear. It is what we do to try to protect ourselves emotionally. Some of us (classic codependent behaviour) tried to control through people pleasing, being a chameleon, wearing a mask, dancing to other people's tunes. Some of us (classic counter dependent behaviour) protected ourselves/tried to be in control by pretending that we didn't need other people. Either way we were living life in reaction to our childhood wounds - we were not making clear, conscious choices. (If our choice is to be in an abusive relationship or not to be in a relationship at all, that is not a choice - that is reacting between two extremes that are symptoms of our childhood wounds.)<br /><br />Both classic codependent and classic counter dependent behaviours are part of the condition/disease of codependency in my definition. They are just two different extremes in the spectrum of behavioural defence systems that the ego adapts in early childhood. The ways in which we got hurt the most in childhood felt to our egos like a threat to survival, and it built up defences to protect us.<br /><br />While the classic codependent had their sense of self crushed (it is 'self' destroying to feel that love is conditional on pleasing others, living up to the expectations of others - even if our parents never raised their voices to us) in childhood to the extent that confrontation (owning anger, setting boundaries, taking the chance of hurting someone, etc.) feels life threatening, so the classic counter dependent feels like vulnerability (intimacy, getting close to/being dependent on other people) is life threatening.<br /><br />Both the classic counter dependent and codependent patterns are reactive codependent traits that are out of balance and dysfunctional. We do need other people - but to allow our self worth to be determined in reaction to other people is giving power away and setting ourselves up to be victims. It is very important to own that we have worth as the unique, special being that each of us is - not dependent on how other people react to us.<br /><br />This is a very difficult process for those of us who have classic 'codependent' patterns of trying very hard to get other people to like us, of feeling that we are defined by how others think of us and treat us, of being people pleasers and martyrs. Classic codependent behaviour involves focusing completely on the other (when a codependent dies someone else's life passes in review.) Having no self except as defined in relationship to the other. This is dishonest and dysfunctional. It sets us up to be victims - and causes one to not only be unable to get one's needs met, but to not even be aware that it is right to have needs.<br /><br /><br />A classically codependent person, when asked about themselves, will reply by talking about the other. Obviously, before someone with this type of behavioural defence can experience any self-growth, they have to first start opening up to the idea that they have a self. The process of owning self is frustrating and confusing. The concept of having boundaries is foreign and bewildering. It is an ongoing process that takes years. It unfolds in stages. There is always another level of the onion to peel. So, for someone whose primary pattern is classically codependent, the next level of growth will always involve owning self on some deeper level. A very important part of this process is owning the right to be angry about the way other's behaviour has impacted our lives - starting in childhood.</span><div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Classic counter dependent behaviour focuses completely on the self and builds huge walls to keep others out. It is hard for those of us who exhibit classically 'counter dependent' behaviour patterns to even consider that we may be codependent. We have lived our lives trying to prove that we don't need others, that we are independent and strong. The counter dependent is the other extreme of the spectrum. If our behaviour patterns have been primarily counter dependent it means that we were wounded so badly in childhood that in order to survive we had to convince ourselves that we don't need other people, that it is never safe to get close to other people.<br /><br />Each of us has our own spectrum of behavioural defences to protect us from being hurt emotionally. We can be codependent in one relationship and counter dependent in another - or we can swing from co to counter - within the same relationship. Often, someone who is primarily counter dependent will get involved with someone who is even more counter dependent and then will act out the codependent role in that particular relationship - the same can happen with two people with primarily codependent patterns.<br /><br />Both the classic codependent patterns and the classic counter dependent patterns are behavioural defences, strategies, designed to protect us from being abandoned. One tries to protect against abandonment by avoiding confrontation and pleasing the other - while the second tries to avoid abandonment by pretending we don't need anyone else. Both are dysfunctional and dishonest. “</span></div>

Don't try to put it into action: it will act, and when it acts, in that action there is no regret, no contradiction, none of the misery and travail of man.<br /><br /><i>So meditate alone. Get lost.</i> And don't try to remember where you have been. If you try to remember it then it will be something that is dead. And if you hold on to the memory of it then you will never be alone again. So meditate in that endless solitude, in the beauty of that love, in that innocency, in the new then there is the bliss that is imperishable.</span></div>

Each of us has an child within. It is a permanent presence that lives at the core of our being.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7XfSnaduY6Y/WgKxS_JQPjI/AAAAAAAAdgw/qpADq1GfRq0orOTun4AWCvwmYFeqIjcBwCKgBGAs/s1600/The%2BTen%2BStages%2B234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="1500" height="106" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7XfSnaduY6Y/WgKxS_JQPjI/AAAAAAAAdgw/qpADq1GfRq0orOTun4AWCvwmYFeqIjcBwCKgBGAs/s320/The%2BTen%2BStages%2B234.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Each of us has an child within. It is a permanent presence that lives at the core of our being.<br /><br />Our child within is instinctual and has an inexplicable knowing about the world around it. It knows its own feelings, and how to express them: it laughs when it is happy, cries when it is sad, and screams when it is angry. Each moment is filled with curiosity, wonder, and a need to play, discover, and create in the world.<br /><br />Over the years, we force our child within into hiding, and bury alive a very real part of ourselves that never grows up, and will never go away. We make it to adulthood, with all its sensibilities, its heart-breaking lessons and its ever-increasing demands, but this causes us to repress our child within, and in doing so we rob ourselves of our natural spontaneity, lose our instinctual trust in our “gut”, and separate ourselves from others so they will never see our child within true feelings and desires.<br /><br />We may suddenly want to skip through the park for no reason whatsoever… but our rational adult side says, “don’t be ridiculous”.<br /><br />We feel an inexplicable desire to get out our painting set and create something messy… but we hesitate: “Why bother?” It doesn’t pay the bills.<br /><br />We want cry uncontrollably over that which we’ve lost, without worrying about “staying strong”… but we smile and pull ourselves together instead.<br /><br />The following process is designed to get us re-acquainted with our child within after all this time. We do this process confidentially, and all we need is a pen/pencil or crayons (as you feel comfortable) and paper.<br /><br />When communicating, use your non-dominant hand (the hand you do not usually write with) when speaking as the “ child within ”, which directly accesses right-brain functions such as non-verbal visual/spatial perception, emotional expression and intuition, as oppose to our left “parent” side of the brain which centres on verbal and analytical processing.<br />How does our child look?<br />Sit quietly and close our eyes. Picture a beautiful place that both you and your child can visit together in your imagination. You should feel safe and comfortable, and just go with what feels right for you.<br />Open your eyes, and with your non-dominant hand, draw a picture of your child. You don’t need to rush or put pressure on yourself, reconnect with your inner natural flow.<br /><br />Now using your dominant hand and a separate piece of paper, spend a little time reflecting on this process:<br />How did it feel while drawing your child? Were there any frustrations or blocks?<br />How do you feel now when you look at the picture?<br />Where do you think certain characteristics of the child came from – in physical or facial expression, or location, or outfit?<br />How old is your child?<br /><br />We feel that our child within does not second-guess anything, full of energy and the will to explore in the woods, which made us feel safe, protected, and full of curiosity.<br /><br />What does our picture of our child within tell us?<br />Conversing with our child within<br /><br />The second part of this process is to have a conversation with our child within. Look at our drawing. our dominant hand (the one you usually write with) will take the role of the adult. We will then respond as our child within using the non-dominant other hand.<br /><br />Once again, go with the flow of our intuition. Remember, as with any child, our child within must trust us enough to emerge, so stay patient and calm, and take our time during these exercises.<br />Open the conversation by telling the child that you want to get to know it so that you can take better care of it. You can start by asking for its name, and anything else it wants to tell you about itself: age, how it feels, what it likes and doesn’t like, and what it wants from you.<br /><br />Don’t worry if the flow of the conversation doesn’t go exactly per the questions, just follow our intuition, and go with what comes up in the moment.<br />Close the conversation by asking the Child to tell you anything else it wants you to know, and thank the Child for coming out and expressing itself, and that you want to have more of these conversations so that you can get to know it better.<br />Using our dominant hand on a separate piece of paper, reflect back on the conversation with our child. This step is to help you raise awareness of your child’s needs so you can be more attentive in future. Was there anything surprising that came out from the conversation? Do you notice a pattern, or particular emotions coming up on both the part of the adult and the child? Any memories?<br /><br /><a href="https://wakeup-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Inner-Child-Work-The-Missing-Piece-in-the-Spiritual-Evolution-Puzzle-2.png"><img src="https://wakeup-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Inner-Child-Work-The-Missing-Piece-in-the-Spiritual-Evolution-Puzzle-2-330x239.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /> We are interested in our intuitions age feeling that we are aged about 6; We reflect on why. We sense this was the ‘felt age’ where we started to feel emotions such as embarrassment, and inadequacy — it was the beginning of closing the door on our child within.<br /><br />We notice how much of our inner child’s worth begins to diminish from the time that joyful spontaneous acts started to scrutinised as achievements, and the bubbling anger felt about this – We have a sense of our child withins feeling and we start to acknowledge that there has been an injustice.<br /><br />We are very surprised by the guilt we feel as our adult self that things have become this way, and that we feel saddened by this. It makes us want to reconnect further to make amends to our child within.<br /><br />This process will shed a great deal of light upon our relationship with our child within; it is the beginning of a re-connection and healing for this perfect being inside of us.<br /><br />As the relationship strengthens, we develop an on-going appreciation for the role of the child within in our lives. We become more aware of its needs and desires, and begin to utilise its intuitive gifts.<br /><br />Our child within is at the core of our being, when this existence is cherished we are free to express openly its creative and spontaneous enthusiasm for life and understanding.</span><div> <br /></div>

We come into this world without knowing separation. A new born baby is not able to tell the difference between itself and its environment.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tqz01Ths4MY/WKZ_2_nkNUI/AAAAAAAAako/RwOjn_3b7SEPxhhG783XQ1lZW1JJ3ewIACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/Study%2Bof%2BIntulexia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tqz01Ths4MY/WKZ_2_nkNUI/AAAAAAAAako/RwOjn_3b7SEPxhhG783XQ1lZW1JJ3ewIACPcBGAYYCw/s320/Study%2Bof%2BIntulexia.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">We come into this world without knowing separation. A new born baby is not able to tell the difference between itself and its environment. Therefore, there is no specific individual identity to cling to. There is simply ‘being’ felt as an unconditional love. This is ‘unity consciousness’. However, within the first year of life we will begin to become aware of duality — that is ‘me in relation to you’. Whereas newborns will not distinguish between themselves and their mothers, 1 year-olds will be able to see that they are in fact separate entities.<br /><br />This causes great pain to an infant, which we call separation anxiety. It is the first time we experience death in our lifetimes; a loss of identity. So, we begin to search for our own identity — what is our place in the world? And here begins the apparent conflict between the two opposing currents of love (unity consciousness) and individuality (separation). Thus a child will flip several times a day between needing to be supported and nurtured and needing to assert their independence, which of course continues into adulthood, if only in a more subtle way.<br /><br />The two ‘flows of consciousness’ conflict because of fear — we fear to lose ourselves in unity consciousness, to lose our uniqueness, that which defines us. This is the underlying cause: the ‘source pain’, of our fear of death. It is the reason so many are not able to meditate deeply — to hit that point where we blend effortlessly into the vastness of the universe.<br /><br />So how do we consolidate these two apparently opposing flows so that they work together in our lives, so that fear arises less and less? Well, I’m afraid there’s no method I can suggest. The answer lies in the opposite of method — surrender… total and utter surrender.<br />Surrendering into Nothingness<br /><br />We have to let the fear arise. We have to make friends with it. We have to let go of our clinging. We have to be prepared to dissolve into nothingness. It takes a deep surrender to let go of our identities. The parent, the musician, the football player, the intellectual, the lover, the carer, the comedian, the warrior — they must all go. They have to all be thrown into the black hole of nothingness — to my knowledge there is no other way to overcome fear! We have to literally become the black hole. Emptiness.<br /><br />Here’s the thing — this emptiness, this nothingness. There is actually a wholeness to it; a purity of life. Some call it unconditional love. It is not really nothingness but no-thing-ness. There is no object (there is not even a subject) to cling to and produce duality…<br /><br />… and out of this nothingness, this pure potential, comes our real uniqueness. It is not something that can be easily described, easily labelled, and therefore there is no identity with it. It is just you, pure and simple. It is felt as a kind of ‘rightness’ in every moment. It is not the rightness of right and wrong, this is a judgement, a duality which leads to identifying with a certain point of view. It is a spontaneous ‘knowing’ of how to respond to any given situation. It is beyond the mind and yet it is alignment for you and those around you, even if it makes people uncomfortable.<br /><br /><br />“If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life – and only then will I be free to become myself” — Martin Heidegger</span>

Remark the intimacy of the skein, the complexity of the web." <br /><br />-- Marcus Aurelius --<br />("Meditations," IV:41)<br /><br /><br />Written nearly two thousand years ago, these comments on the non-dualistic nature of the universe by Marcus Aurelius - a Roman Emperor more famous for his book of "Meditations," than all his victories on the battlefield - seem remarkably modern. Consider the following quote by Albert Einstein:<br /><br />“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”<br /><br />Do not the comments of the Roman Empire's great "philosopher-king' and the father of the "New Physics" talk of the same reality, reminding us that we are separated from a holistic, non-dual universe only by our consciousness?<br /><br />Einstein once wryly described relativity as being the same process by which holding one's hand on a hot stove for a few moments seems like hours, while hours spent talking to a beautiful woman seems like minutes. For his part, Marcus Aurelius noted the following:<br /><br />"Were you to live three thousand years, or even thirty thousand, remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment; and furthermore, that he can have no other life except the one he loses. This means that the longest life and shortest amount to the same thing. For the passing minute is every man's equal possession, but what has once gone is not ours. Our loss therefore, is limited to that one fleeting instant, since no one can lose what is already past, nor yet what is still to come - for how can he be deprived of what he does not possess? So two things should be borne in mind. First, that all the cycles of creation from the beginning of time exhibit the same recurring pattern, so that it can make no difference whether you watch the identical spectacle for a hundred years, or for two hundred, or forever. Secondly, that when the longest and shortest-lived of us come to die, their loss is precisely equal. For the sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his."</span>

Intulexia is our birthright. As children we freely connect to our intulexic intuition [Updated]

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3JWu8cTdQ4E/WccY7j0pR7I/AAAAAAAAdRE/FdqdxNMTVNMHSpGSgY3pbSuFa9mpsOlKACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/gatzo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3JWu8cTdQ4E/WccY7j0pR7I/AAAAAAAAdRE/FdqdxNMTVNMHSpGSgY3pbSuFa9mpsOlKACPcBGAYYCw/s320/gatzo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Intulexia is our birthright. As children we freely connect to our intulexic intuition so naturally that you don’t even know it is Intulexia. It is an everyday awareness permeating our existence that we are intimately connected with and a part of. Life feels magical and our environment is filled with endless possibilities.<br /><br />It doesn’t take long before you lose this sense of presence and wonder. Soon you are more engaged in limited thinking and the responsibilities of life than your joyful, endless playground of Intulexia.<br /><br />We can support our child within to stay connected to our intulexia and all its possibilities by practicing stages below. In the process, we will return to that place ourselves where intulexic awareness is at the forefront of our reality.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /> 1. Living Intulexic<br />“We are great imitators. So give us something great to imitate.”<br /><br />The best way to invite our child within into its intulexia is by modelling intulexia living ourself. It is important to be aware of how much room we create for our own insight and how freely we act on it in our day to day life. When we don’t listen to our intuitive intulexia it impacts our well-being which then impacts our child within. By modelling intulexia, we automatically invite our child within to do the same.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />2. Permission and Safety<br /><br />Create safety for our child within to explore and express its own intulexia thoughts and views. Our Child Within sublimates its intulexia because it is feels its not safe to trust it anymore. Between being continuously told what to think and do, and the need to be responsible and “realistic”, it is no wonder intulexic thought has little room to breathe. We automatically create permission and safety by living with the language of the child within, listening and acting from our heart, and by inviting and honouring the expression of our child hidden within to share with us the healthy respect it craves.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />3. Naturally Creative, Resourceful and Whole</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Love is seeing our child within as we really are, and being with them in that place without judgment sometimes in the basement of our life.”<br /><br />How we relate to child within begins with how we see them. If we see our child within as being an empty vessel that we must fill, then there is little room for their intulexic voice. However, if we see our child within as naturally, creative, resourceful and whole, then a world of possibilities opens up for our child. We acknowledge we have a voice, wisdom and gifts to share, and a purpose for being here. By seeing us as who we really are, we hold our child within with much higher esteem which supports us to grow up with clarity and confidence.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />4. Presence</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker. When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our child within expands.” ~<br /><br />How much of our Self are we bringing to our child within? The more present we are within our child, the more present we will be with others. Taking a deep breath, slowing down, and noticing if the mind is wandering away while child within is allowed to speak are all helpful when engaging our child within. It’s important to pay attention to our attention, and where it lies in any given moment. Our Child Within can feel when we are not present , so our capacity to listen and be in its world without the need to impose an agenda serves trust in our adult self and our intulexic voice.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />5. Educate and Affirm<br /><br />The Child Within who engage with our intulexic voice and make self-affirming choices do not need us to teach them anything. They are already doing it. However, we who demonstrate a lack of self-worth or trust in ourselves may benefit from us affirming our child withins inner wisdom. We can gently remind ourselves that we are wise children within with our own deep seated inner guidance system. We can point to look within for our inner guidance instead of giving our power to others. And we can teach ourselves that intulexia is a new resource that supports the love and care of child within, and that when choices are made from intulexia it serves the greater whole of ourselves. Remind ourselves, when necessary, that intulexia is there for us always, in all ways! Trusting our intulexic voice to know when to do so.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />6. Curiosity</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Children learn how to make good decisions by making decisions, not by following directions.”<br /><br /><br />When we get curious with our child within we re-open a door into our heart. We look within and connect to our feelings and knowing. We uncover values, desires, gifts and dreams, and insight into our life path. We vocalise fears or blocks that may be impeding progress in a certain directions. And we learn to trust our own resourcefulness and capacity to make decisions for ourselves, instead of relying on others. In order to be curious we must suspend our expertise. We must self-manage our need to fix, rescue or advise, and instead see our child within as capable of knowing what is best. Open ended questions starting with What, more than How, engage intulexia the most. Examples include, What does our heart want? If we could wave a magic wand, what would we create today? What’s our favourite thing about that? What would that be like?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />7. Values and Desires<br /><br />Our unique values and desires are inextricably linked to our intulexia. They point to our passions, life balance and towards a purposeful life. By noticing when our child within are most engaged and enthusiastic, and being curious about what they enjoy most, we can deduce what their values and desires were. We can then create learning agendas and frameworks that fit our unique child withins personality, and help ourselves make choices that are aligned with our newly found authentic Self.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />8. Co-Create</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Ourselves and our child within should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, we should embark together on a journey down the river of life. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, of thoughts ,ideas and dreams.<br />We have a mutual agenda and so does the child within. We arrive on this earth with a child within pure agenda, and with the tools necessary to participate in our own unique way. It is therefore vital that we are given every chance to express our needs and desires such that they begin to formulate and express our child withins inner purpose. Whether it is a learning or play agenda, allowing our child within to be an active participant in the decision making process validates their intulexic voice and sense of reemerging Self, which helps them pave a road to authentic and fulfilled adult living. Co-creating requires a dose of humility because some level of control needs to be released on our part, as well as recognising that you may not have any answers.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />9. Creativity</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“The wider the range of possibilities we offer our child within, the more intense will be our motivations and the richer our experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of healthy situations we offer and our degree of re-structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”<br /><br />Intulexia is the creative language department of our mind. It is where we imagine, dream outside the box, consider new possibilities, and feel inspired. When children within are bound by too much structure and weighed down by expectations of what to think and do, our capacity to exercise our creative mind is limited. However, when children within explore and get messy, and reflect on what we have learned and what is true for us, we amazingly strengthen our critical thinking  and our capacity to be innovative and imaginative.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />10. Self-Expression</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /> Our child within has Intulexia and we cannot be limited simply to reading, writing and arithmetic to express him or herself. Helping our child within find a form of expression that feels safe and natural to them, such as art, storytelling, music, drama or movement. Ask them questions about what they shared, what it means to them, what’s important to them about what they’ve discovered, to help them express more and deepen their connection with their learning and their Self expression.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />11. Intulexic Language<br /><br />Certain language supports accessing and expressing intulexia more fully. I feel…, My heart/intuition/gut is telling me…, My sense is…, It feels right to… are all language of the child within. Also using the word Play instead of Work helps to keep things light and inspired – Play with this instead of Work on this; Homeplay instead of Homework; Playsheets instead of Worksheets. We can guide child within to live intuitively by modeling this language ourself, asking questions using this language (What does your heart tell us? What do we feel?), and encouraging them to use the language of intulexia themselves.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />12. Celebrate</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Children within first realise they can make a difference when we listen, then respond with sensitivity to them.”<br /><br />Take time to welcome all creative contributions, all expressions of the child within. Celebrate them as statements of personal truth, learning and growth. Being sensitive to appreciate and include, without shutting children withins ideas down or making them wrong, keeps creative energy flowing and their feeling of renewed self-worth alive. They are more likely to continue valuing and sharing their opinions in the future. Celebrating is one of best ways to live in the Spirit of the child within!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />13. Take Time Slow Down and Breathe</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Pausing to listen to an airplane in the sky, stooping to watch a ladybug on a plant, sitting on a rock to watch the waves crash over the quayside – child Within has its own agendas and timescales. As they find out more about their world and their place in it, they work hard not to let adults hurry them. You need to hear their voices.”<br /><br />The typical lifestyles are amassed with frenetic energy. Busy lives, busy schedules, getting to that next task, and hopefully finding some time to rest and re-gather amongst it all. In the space between our busi-ness lies our intulexia. It speaks quietly from the background and requires us to create room for it so it can be heard. Slowing down and taking deep breaths are simple steps we can take to create inner and outer space for our intulexia. we can support our child within to do the same by modeling this, and gently encouraging them to slow down and take a deep breath as well.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />14. Free Unstructured Intulexia Time<br /><br />Our child within do not experience enough free, unstructured time to play anymore. Computers, video games, television and organised sports limit, if not stifle, the capacity for child within to be creative, spontaneous and adventurous. We needs  greater importance placed on unstructured time where our child within can explore the simple things in life like the great outdoors, or our imagination, without being whisked away to the next organised activity or agenda. We will mature with less frenetic energy and with a greater appreciation for life’s little things. And it will be easier for us to stay connected to the spaciousness of our hearts, where the voice of intulexia is heard.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />15. Play</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />“Our Child Within will not remember us for the material things we provided but for the feeling<br />that we cherished them.”<br /><br />Child Within is meant to play, and to learn and grow through play. When you take this away from us, when you impose too much  responsibility on them, they become stunted. Encourage us to unplug from technology and play outside. Take our child within out into nature where the stillness invites presence and the vastness invites adventure. And play with them. Take time every day to play with them, even if it’s only for five minutes.  When we remember to play, we remember our child within and the intulexic voice that lies within.<br /><br />“While we try to teach our child within all about life, our child within teachs us what life is all about.”<br /><br />When we see our child within as vast, unlimited beings of creativity and insight that has come here with innate gifts and an inner guidance system we realise that as adults our responsibility is to support our child within to actualise all that is true for them. We must create room for our heart’s intelligence to educate us and our world. And we must make inner reflection and self-care a priority so that we live from our heart and inspire ourselves to do the same.</span>

Firstly, it is — the part of us that traffics in images, symbols, myths, and stories. It is the capacity we have for innovative thinking and creative expression. </span><div> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Second, </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Intulexia is a balancing of our inner reality, a boundless realm not defined by our senses or reason that we know from our dreams and can enter via certain exercises while awake. The practice of intulexia encourages us to use this faculty and enables us to explore this realm.</span><div> <div> <div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />Begin by learning the language of intulexia. Keep track of the images that start to come to us spontaneously in association with our feelings and thoughts. Draw pictures of what we encounter in our dreams. Contemplate art and see ourself as part of this enlarged picture. Read myths and tell stories. Remember, through the ages seekers have found that it is possible to step into the inner realm of intulexia at will. There we can find fuel for our journey and gifts of GATZO serenity.<br /><br /><br />"You're just imagining that. It's not real." Unfortunately, many of us associate imagination with "imaginary" and its connotation of "unreal." This is a difficult  practice for those who think that everything has to be verified by sensory perception and empirical evidence. Reason also gets in the way of imagination and a return to health, especially when it is codified into rationalism which regards only logic and analytical thought as valid routes to truth.<br /><br />When we discount intulexia in our recovery, we cut ourselves off from the riches that can fuel our recovery. We limit the ways we can view the world and our own experience. There is much more to life than can be contained in rational philosophy.<br /><br />Noticing patterns in nature the clouds above us or in the sand at our feet is our cue to practice intulexia and so fly into a state of gatzo.</span></div> </div> </div> </div>

INTULEXIA how the brain and consciousness are related

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uT8sNRrg_Cc/Wccapm9M3oI/AAAAAAAAdRI/L5DawhW9a9o0rX-IZSKJISRNC7261w1MgCLcBGAs/s1600/gatzo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uT8sNRrg_Cc/Wccapm9M3oI/AAAAAAAAdRI/L5DawhW9a9o0rX-IZSKJISRNC7261w1MgCLcBGAs/s320/gatzo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">How do black holes, consciousness and the evolution of the human brain help us understand our need to seek the meaning of life?<br /><br />Can a guru or system answer the ultimate questions of life like, ‘where did we come from’, or ‘where do we go after death’? Does anyone really know for a certainty ‘who’ we are and ‘why’ we are here? Questions like these are often what initially prompt us to go on a spiritual or healing journey.<br /><br />My own interest in the evolution of the human brain lead me closer to the spiritual path. Initially, the information I found was purely Western theory. As I began to explore how the brain and consciousness are related, I also began meditating and studying Eastern philosophies.<br /><br />In my search I’ve met students and teachers who feel that the original quantum theorist was The Buddha. And others who pointed out how even before the Buddha, the ancient yogis of India and Tibet had also penetrated the secrets that quantum physicists are only beginning to explore in the last couple of centuries. Other masters, including The Christ, have also taught from metaphysical levels that can only be explained, if at all, by quantum theory.<br /><br />Are quantum theory and metaphysics related? Perhaps, yet metaphysics is vaster than systems you can find in one of its components, Law of Attraction, and especially as it is taught today. It’s easy enough to find any number of watered down theories of quantum mechanics that Western Law of Attraction gurus use to explain their concepts. But I hope you don’t stop there without also taking a holistic look by including mythology, psychology and physiology in your search.<br /><br />There are many ideas postulated on the evolution of the brain itself. Any may help explain how this magnificent organ may relate to the potential for realization or divine consciousness in man. But rarely have I found a blending of Eastern thought with physiology that induces me to search further, more inwardly that is.<br /><br /> Helyrically explains the ancient teachings on, among other things, the physiology of yogic experiences, or how spiritual phenomena relates to physical areas in the human brain.<br />Brahma’s Cave in Outer and Inner Space<br /><br />For example, he says that the ancient sages believed that a miniature cave of Brahma resides in the 3rd ventricle, which is in the center of the human brain. In Vedic culture, ‘Brahma’ is the Father aspect of supreme or ultimate Divinity. And Gurunath explains that this is the replica of the black hole in space called ‘Brahma’s Cave ‘.<br /><br />Gurunath also explains the role of the corpus callosum, a physical area found deep within the human brain. For eons the ancients reported having seen the corpus callosum in meditation, calling called it ‘<br />the Hamsa swan’.<br /><br />Most spiritual teachings and healing philosophies agree that the pineal gland, residing between both hemispheres of the brain, closely associated with the 3rd eye or ajna chakra. Science has obserbed that the pineal is a partially dormant gland. However, founder of Theosophy, H. P. Blavatsky, and psychopharmacology researcher, Rick Strassman, have each suggested that the third eye is actually the pineal gland.<br /><br />This concept may be supported by the evidence of cells in the pineal that are called pinealocytes, closely resembling the photoreceptors of the eye. Also, some scientists believe that the pineal excretes trace amounts of dimethyltryptamine or DMT. DMT is theorized to be a factor in unexplained phenomena like dreaming, the near-death experience, meditation, or hallucination. It is also present in some plants, and is synthesized and ingested for its psychodelic properties.<br /><br />The ancients call this 3rd eye center the “shiva netra”, or eye of shiva. In deep meditation, the Hamsanath yogi sees the shiva netra, which is just in front of the black hole of the human brain known as the cave of Brahma. Gurunath explains that there is a ‘scintillatiing white star” within the center of the “shiva netra”. The ancients called this spiritual star the “kutastha chaitanya”.<br /><br />From ancient times, yogis who practiced meditation have penetrated this star, the “kutastha chaitanya”. In that ‘no-mind’ state, the yogi enters the “unmani avasta”, also known as the state of “bhav samadhi”, “sabikalpa samadhi” or “nirvikalpa samadhi”. In this consciousness, the soul is raised in vibration to rest with pranic or spiritual energy in the Hamsa swan, the lateral ventricles in the brain.<br /><br />Gurunath teaches that as human consciousness evolves into divine consciousness, and as the human brain itself develops, this divine physiology becomes vaster. He says that as the brain’s texture refines, consciousness becomes more and more beautiful. He believes that spirituality is important in that the 100 billion cells in the human brain are in process of uniting with the 100 billion stars in our galactic system.<br /><br />Gurunath teaches that as these go beyond the galactic system, the yogi merges into “the wonderful state of supernal splendor of niranjan nirvana, kaivalya samadhi, the Nirvana.” Could this be the science of yoga’s explanation for ‘going to heaven’ or ‘ascending’?<br /><br />Gurunath says that while the yogi’s physical brain and body can not stay long in an expansion of Nirvana, he does eventually enter its ultimate stage. That is when, he says, the corona radiates in his brain cells and their subtle fibres, or tubes, light up with “divine effulgence”. This is how its radiant splendor goes on to spread its aura “far beyond the earth system, way into the galaxies”</span><br /> <div class="post-footer" style="background-color: #fafafa; border-top: 1px solid rgb(211, 211, 211); line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px -10px -10px; padding: 8px;"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <div class="post-author vcard" style="color: #222222; font-family: Allerta; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;"> </div> <div class="post-comment-link" style="color: #222222; font-family: Allerta; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;"> </div> </div> </div>

Such timeless wisdom has been part of our tradition for centuries but in these times many of us have abandoned this profound wisdom.<br /><br />Curiously, our <i>time-hungry</i> society has goaded us into less than healthy living patterns, where we eat fast foods and sugar-laden snacks, sleep less, exercise less, talk less and worry more about the mortgage, the children's schooling, depleting our reserves. This has caused many of us run on adrenalin - or speedy dissociation!<br /><br />We know that this speedy dissociated lifestyle cannot last. If we are lucky, we can sustain better health if we buy a gym membership, take up yoga or even study meditation. But many of us just collapse on the sofa in front of the television, reaching for the anaesthetic of the TV.<br /><br />There is a choice.<br />Real food, with energy.<br />Real face-to-face time with friends.<br />Real time with our child within, sitting quietly in the garden or in the park to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air.<br />We are human beings, not human doings. When we drop our addiction to dissociated action, to being busy and ‘achieving' We need to STOP just be - simply sit and breathe - we give our body a chance to heal and reset the balance of life.<br /><br />One of life's challenges is to remain the ‘observer', one step removed from the hurly-burly. That extra space allows us the grace of a millimetre's distance to save us from getting over-involved and over-emotional. Seize our day and remember we are retaking charge of our life.</span><br /> <h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 24px;"> </h3>
