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 |
