HOLISTIC PSYCHOLOGY INDEX
Each center represents an area of human
activity
The goal is to bring each center into loving and healthy
harmony with yourself and the world
Understanding Human Behaviour
Separating the experiencer from the experience
We are not our experiences, we are the experiencer. The ability to separate the experience from the experiencer is essential to any self development work. This skill can very quickly be learned. For example, jealousy may arise in our emotions. We can relate to it in two ways.
- "I am jealous" - wrong: Identification with the attitude, we are now taking it personally.
- "My mind is experiencing jealousy" - right: The individual soul is the calm subjective experiencer and jealousy is a state of mind that has arisen.
The first way is wrong because we mistakingly identify with the experience and this makes it more difficult to deal with. The second way is correct because we have separated the experiencer from the experience and this makes it easier to deal with the experience. We have separated the subject (the experiencer) from the object (the experience).
A great way to understand and master the human experience is to be able to center (identify) yourself with your soul deep within your heart center, or place yourself in an inner space from where you can observe all that is going on in the body, emotions, and mind. From this peaceful, non-attached vantage point we can observe the experience arising in the body, emotions, and mind and we can choose how to relate to all these experiences. For example, hatred may arise and from our vantage point we can choose whether to co-operate with it or not. We become self-masters when we are able to choose whether or not to cooperate with that which is arising in our body, emotions (heart), and mind.
Knowing this, let us now relate to the individual with:
- Respect
- Honour to the uniqueness
- Liking
- A willingness to understand and communicate in an open and friendly manner
- Care
- Appreciation
- Wisdom
- Love
Understanding not repression
By understanding something we can control and master it and free ourselves from being a slave to it. By understanding human psychology we can begin to overcome and remove internal conflicting conditions in heart (emotions) and mind, conditions that can lead us to suffer, conditions that we don't have to hold onto, conditions that can be healed.
Masterying the human experience, expressed by the seven center system, is about being on friendly, healthy, sattvic terms with your seven centers.
Neither tamasic denial nor rajasic addiction is necessary and both are states of enslavement and result in error, vice, and unnecessary suffering.
The wise are on friendly yet masterful terms with their seven centers. To be on friendly terms is the best way to understand and master your seven centers, and thus this human experience.
The friendly master achieves more.
