Is Your True Self Guiding Your Personality?

        Normal personalities seem to be composed of a number of semi-independent subselves, which have different priorities, "jobs," and per-ceptions of the world. Without effective internal leadership, well-meaning subselves can cause impulsive, harmful thoughts and behaviors.

       Every person (like you) has a resident expert group-leader, coach, director, chairperson, or CEO - your true Self (capital "S"). When s/he is locally or consistently trusted by the other subselves to lead them, peo-ple report feeling emotions like these: 

 

●  calm, grounded, balanced

●  alert, alive, and awake

●  aware: wide-angle, long range

●  patient, organized

●  realistically optimistic

●  motivated, decisive

●  "light" (vs. "heavy")

●  serene, centered, grounded

●  "up" (vs. "I'm down")

●  compassionate

●  focused and clear

●  strong, resilient

●  creative, intuitive

●  enthused

      When their personality is controlled by other subselves (a ''false self''),  people feel the opposite of these, and behave in ways that stress or harm themselves and others. Use Lesson 1 resources to free your Self to lead, and grow your inner harmony!  /  video  /  detail  /  Q&A  / poll
