The
reconstitution process is not
ego repair nor is it about getting
the ego functional in society such as may be done in psychoanalysis
or psychotherapy. Rather it will destroy the ego to
create the space
to allow us to recreate ourselves in a way that
reconstitutes our
creative
ability and creative power.
What needs to be realized is that the world we experience and the
ego we have is a creation that resulted from the way we currently
manager our
creative
ability and creative power. When we look to
reconstitute our creative ability and creative power, we are going
to change the way we manager our
creative life energy. That, in
turn, will no longer allow us to finance the types and kinds of
experiences we currently have. Consequently the world the ego knows
and what is has used to define itself will change.
Reconstitution is not about creating social misfits, rebels or
anarchists. Rather it is about getting us to create ourselves in
accordance with our unique truth within their
environment in which
we find ourselves. Recreating ourselves true to
our truth allows our
inner world to be harmoniously reflected in our outer world and the
universe we see and experience.
There is a fallacy to the whole concept of
ego repair. The ego is
the “I.” It is the executive or decision making function. It is the
part of us that has to integrate and deal with everyday reality that
is based on our past experiences and who we think we are. It is the
basis of how we respond in the world. It is our ordinary, or
“everyday”
mind.
What is important about our every day
mind is that although we do
not always experience our actions or the actions of other logical
and rational, in fact they are. They are in the sense we are
hardwired and/or programmed by what we think and believe to respond
to events. We are much like a computer. Once the programming is set
the computer runs in a very particular way determined by it
programming. Only with a keen mindfulness and awareness do we really
take control.
In reality, our everyday
mind is logical, rational, and make
decisions through the use of thoughts, memories of the past and our
attachments. Although we may have irrational fits of anger, if we
look carefully, we are angry because of what we think and believe
and how we have
attached ourselves to our past experiences and our
current experiences. Our mind plans and worries about the future. It
broods about the past. It is always making judgements, putting
thoughts in our mind, reviewing the data of the past, asking
questions to determine and control the future such as “but
suppose....” and “What if ....?”
In many ways
mind is terrified of the unknown and in not knowing
what to expect. To repair our damaged
ego is to allow the ego to
perceive it can control the future. As viewed from the ego, our ego
got bruised, as least as what happened is perceives by ego, by our
critical and dysfunctional parents, elders and authority figures,
our childhood traumas, our inescapable physical limitations as an
infant or a child, and similar things that allow it to believe it
has been victimized and not allowed to do what we wanted or what we
want to do.
To sooth or repair the
ego runs the risk of inflating the ego when
in truth, we must learn to go beyond our egos and not take much of
what happens personally. It needs to realized that our brothers
and/or sisters as is any other individual, are just as damaged as us
if not more so. Our care givers created at least as many problems
for them as they did for is. Additionally, the same is true about
the care givers for others. It is an illusion to think otherwise and
to think that any care given to others would have been more helpful
for us. Other care givers would only have given a different set of
issue to worry about.
It is the
nature of the physical plane and
the human experience to
be conditioned by the inescapable limitation of infancy. Yet, it is
exactly the limitations we face that eventually allows us to
understand how creative a being we really are. The physical
experience is an extremely intense experience such that the
intensity itself can be painful. It is an orgasmic experience. In
the same way an orgasm can become so intense it borders on
pain, so
does the physical experience.
As a child we feel the full intensity such that it even hurts when
our hair is cut. We can feel the
pain of separation of our hair from
our body caused by a pair of scissors. We learn to numb ourselves to
the intensity so as not to live on the boarder between pain and
pleasure. But in doing so, the questions is how far do we numb it.
It is the this issue of intensity and how we shut ourselves down
because of the intensity is the real reason why people of ancient
times come to believe we were born into original sin and some how
separated from the Source within our own being. But, this intensity
of the physical experience is why the physical experience was
designed as it was/is.
The physical plane is the equivalent of a sand box or amusement park
created for us to see and experience how creative we really are. To
see how creative we are, there must be some feedback look to let us
know how well we are progressing. Physical life is
a gift and as the
pain we find in life. If we take life personally we will never
become the creative individual we are. If we become the
detached witness, we can come to see how we have created at some level of our
being everything we have, and are, experiencing.
The
reconstitution process is not outward “functioning.” That is, it
does not look to external criteria for success. There is no attempt
to transform the individual or society through some outward action.
Rather it is inner functioning and looks to an
inner satisfaction
and
fulness of being as its measure of success. It addressed an
inner transformation and the allows for that inner transformation to
ripple outward into the individuals life and subsequently the world.
Reconstitution is also not about spirituality and what is spiritual
and not spiritual but looks to the oneness of all things such that
there is no separation between the physical and spiritual. It is
about reconstituting the
inner creative power/Creative Power and
outer creative power/Creative Power at their
bridge point where the
inner and outer come together in oneness. Reconstitution is totally
about the individual’s relationship to both the seen and unseen
world they experience.
It is in the awareness of the
relationship of the inner and outer
that allows the us to heal the separation we find within our being
to remove the barriers that we have created and used to compartment
our life that has
fragmented
and scattered our
creative life energy
and creative power.
