With thanks to Rosa. January 23, 2023 https://www.innerbonding.com/show-article/4926/welcoming-our-disowned-parts.html Our wounded parts heal with love and truth, not with being disowned. Trying to get rid of your wounded self will keep you stuck in your wounded self. “I just want to get rid of the part of me that gets angry so easily.” “I hate the […]
Things that Have to Go, New Year’s or Not
Another personality element that I have to draw on in building is experience as a military commander many centuries ago. Some of the skills are exportable; some not. The sense of reliance upon the group and of being powerless without their assistance is exportable. A sense of the need for sound and stable leadership towards […]
Changing My Vote on Change
The movie, Unsinkable, which had a free showing recently, was a toolbox of approaches to core issues – what I call vasanas – the karmic seeds of future action. (1) I noticed one place where our approaches differ. Unsinkable would have us change our thought patterns. I’ve only dabbled with that approach recently. Previously my […]
Connecting Past-Life Dots
Watching Unsinkable (1) last night has stirred up some things in me. I was already beginning to connect some past-life dots, but the movie raised more of the picture to my awareness. I had a past life as a military commander many centuries ago. The commander was full of anger and hatred toward his enemy. […]
A Damful of Tears
I’ve just become aware of the most subtle feeling, one that permeates my entire experience and holds me back on all matters of initiation and self-presentation. It blankets me. I’m feeling into it at this moment, treating it as a vasana (or core issue). (1) It has a shade of sorrow. —-> [A flash of […]
Vasanas Run Deep and They Don’t Run Deep. Paradox?
I was sharing in Kathleen’s meditation group the other night that I’ve been “processing” (read: beating up on) my Dad for the past ten years and I still feel resentful and vengeful. Every History or Sociology class I taught reified into my Father. Every villain I ever fought became my Father. I’ve grown up fighting […]
A Nexus of Hatred and Guilt Releases
I am at the moment processing a really persistent and deeply-rooted vasana (or core issue), which I’ve never even noticed till now because of its construction. (2) It’s a two-handed conversation, rather than a simple single voice. I’m going to call it a “nexus.” (3) One side of the conversation is hatred of the father. […]
Introduction to the Constructed Self (Download)
Here comes a detailed look at the constructed self that we fashion to present and manage our image, to look good and sound right. The invitation is to come out from behind the image and be who we really are.

Everything Incomplete is Arising
It sounds like, from what I’m hearing, we’re all finding ourselves strained at this point in time. My own version of it is that everything incomplete is arising. (Everything hid shall be known.) Everything not nailed down is flying through the air. All my dislikes, grievances, and resentments are coming up – not as thoughts […]
Do I Really Want to Hurt?
I just got, from completing a huge vasana that traces back to events with my Mother, that, in the last analysis, no one else is responsible for and able to clean up the emotional damage I feel but me. Yes, I can get apologies. Anything external could happen. But no matter what happens externally – […]
Pain: The Mental Component
I want to say at the beginning that I’m not talking about emotional pain, trauma, etc. That’s a different subject and a very difficult one. I recommend clearing emotional pain using the upset clearing process. (1) I’m talking about physical pain and I’m specifically relating to the pain in my knees from a newly-arisen case […]
How Do We Deepen Our Experience? – Part 2/2
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) I wanted to go deeper into my observation of the still space when suddenly a fear arose. I said to myself: If I go deeper, I invite a deep spiritual experience. Will that interfere with my work? The mere appearance of fear was enough of an obstacle to halt the […]
What Will It Take?
There’s so much bad news that I feel my stomach tightening up when I read my email, scan the news, or visit my favorite sites. Even though I know the eventual outcome will be wonderful, I sag from time to time. I’m to report the good, less of the bad, none of the ugly. But […]
Conditioning Ourselves to the Truth
I’d like to continue with the discussion I began yesterday, which keeps unfolding for me. It was the first time I consciously served as my own therapist and guided the listening process to a successful completion. It also showed how many vasanas, of increasing depth, are rising to the surface – at least in me. […]
General Cleanup in the World … and Me
I think the energies are forcing every last vasana (or core issue) up in us. Here’s one that’s up for me. I have an inordinate need for quiet right now and I’m sure it’s a problem for people around me. Anything carried to an extreme stands a good chance of being a vasana. So let […]
