This process compartmentalizes the countless parts of our mind
and how ‘it’ thinks about certain situations.
These mental departments become overwhelmed.
Since we are not typically in True Awareness of our many mental capacities,
These ‘voices’ carry on in the mind as if they are in charge.
In other words,
These ‘departments of egos’, distract us from logically and empirically
taking the larger picture, the broader perspective,
which one needs to make more balanced decisions.
There are some emotional egos that our rational minds are so
embarrassed or repulsed by that we choose to effectively ‘Dis-Own’ them.
These ‘issues’ can’t simply be ‘disowned’
or
we simply can’t be in denial of them – to make them go away.
They go ‘covert’
All issues must be fully realized, and understood…
Before one can begin to Transcend them, Grow and Go Beyond
When these mental departments become ‘Disowned’…
They go undercover,
they become a psychological ‘Shadow’.
We don’t see this trait in ourselves now, but we are highly sensitive of this in others,
So much that we are quick to be outraged.
We can begin to experience ourselves more completely, and
there’s no greater joy, than experiencing yourself as a
Fully Functioning Integrated Human Being.
Once we begin to ‘speak’ from a disowned voice,
we begin the process of
Re-Integrating it…
and that process can take time…
The Big Mind exercise expedites this ‘learning curve’
The psychology behind working thru our ‘shadows’
helps liberates us from
the ‘hidden beatings’ we bring upon ourselves
automatically and ‘unconsciously’.
By imagining that you, as an experiment, ‘become’ that voice’.
Take its perspective as fully as possible,
Thus bringing to light these deeper insights to our consciousness.
It is helpful,
that as you take on the different ‘voices’,
you should shift your position in your sitting.
Perhaps the Protector would sit rigidly upright whereas
the Victim would hold a more insecure stance…
These are just subtle ways to help us…
‘become’ that voice’.
~ Sit comfortably and ‘breath into your meditative zone’ ~
With the voice of your mind – ask to speak the voice of the ‘Facilitator’.
The internal Facilitator will be the transition bridge to other voices.
Ask the Facilitator to now speak to the
Voice of the ‘controller’.
Get to know each of these voices within,
and be mindful of other voices that arise.
Later
after you have completed your first Big Mind ‘voice dialog’ session,
take your thoughts to an even deeper perspective by
Taking notes
Writing down your thoughts can also help sort out
the new and deeper insights one has within.
Here,
one may re-discover formerly ‘Dis-owned’ voices
or ‘Shadow’ departments of our mind processes
We may discover painful past emotions that were not resolved…
but just swept under the carpet of our minds…
We can then use the ‘Higher Departments of our minds’
to help resolve these issues as best as possible,
thus
allowing us to Transcend those issues.
We transcend to higher and more adequate perspectives while
Including the worthy components
or
acknowledging the wisdom of the experience as a whole
to help Integrate a Wider and Deeper World View of Life,
by living a more psychologically Balanced Life.
