    About this ebook

    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.

    The Three Selves is a simpler, accessible, elegant; yet, comprehensive, model of the whole person. In visual art and Gestalt psychology, we have foreground and background. In our psyche, conscious self is foreground. In our psyche, the basic self and high self are analogous to background. B/s is our lower frequency psychic background. H/s is our higher frequency psychic background. The 3S model BRINGS PSYCHOLOGY TO LIFE.

    Q: Are basic self and high self our sub- and unconscious? Yes, our sub- and unconscious are our psychic background. The main difference is, if you work with God as my Partner,’ you can learn to communicate with these internal parts of your psyche. They are not mechanical; they are LIVING entities you can get to know.

    Again, in waking adults, in a nutshell, the main reflection of soul in the human experience is:

    1) A middle, rational, awake, aware, conscious Self. It may be either Thinking or Feeling-dominant.

    Self with a capital “S” is supported by two subordinate helper selves:

    2) A lower frequency basic self. 22 or more names exist: immune system self, inner child, etheric body intelligence, Habit Body, etc.

    3) A higher frequency high self; or, 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 realize 'God as my Partner’—as conscious Self chooses to connect and partner 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. How the 3S develop connects strongly with the Waldorf-methods stage-developmental view of Thinking over seven year periods.

    If a simpler, clearer map-model of the hologram of the whole person exists, please contact me. If valid and consistent with what we know about how the etheric and physical body develops; then, we will all gladly move on to the better model.

      The most stringent test

      of a successful psychology

      has nothing to do

      with adult ideas.

      In fact, the most stringent test

      of a successful psychology

      has little to do with adults, period.

      The most sane, useful, stringent, practical test, of a successful, effective, workable psychology is:

      Does it inspire young people to engage in personal-spiritual growth as lifelong pursuits--at the age when they are most receptive to this impulse?

      More precisely, does the psychology in question encourage and inspire high school students, college freshmen and sophomores towards wellness?

      Does it inspire young persons to engage in truly human values such as:

      acceptance -> compassion -> understanding ->

      forgiveness -> negotiation -> resolution

      The primary measure of a successful psychology, according to Goethean Holistic Psychology, is whether it inspires young adults to pursue wellness and truly human values for a lifetime. Treating pathology can only be a secondary goal.

      The excitement of personal-spiritual growth comes from uncovering new potentials inside us, self-discovery. Psychology has been regrouping around this simple idea of self-uncovery since 1965.

      To express your practical understanding of psychology, please compose your own vision of the whole person. YOU compose for YOU what is optimal in mental-emotional health. This is a constructivist view of education applied to psychology. Anything less is preparation at best--parroting what others have said, at worst.

      The Plan for human beings

      Was there a Plan for how souls to go thru the human experience on Earth? If so, what the heck was it?

      The High Self looks down lovingly on us.

      The Conscious Self looks out lovingly at the world.

      The Basic Self looks up lovingly

      at Conscious and High Self.

      1) The child who is well-cared for,

      becomes the adult who cares about them self,

      who then becomes a person who gives and receives easily.

      2) The child who is unloved becomes the adult who has trouble caring for them self, trouble giving and receiving.

      3) If guided sufficiently, children become adults with self-control, self-discipline, roots in the ground and wings to fly.

      4) If as a child, an individual receives permissive parenting, this person can remain childish even as an adult.

      The 3S is:

      - A conceptual container for the whole human psyche,

      - In programming language, it’s source code for our psyche,

      - For purposes of self-healing and Energy Medicine, the Three Selves is one of the largest, most useful Unconscious Patterns to learn about.
