In the world today, we see many people lost, or so busy, they have
forgotten how to have fun, or so driven, they cannot enjoy themselves,
unless they're continually working, on what has become an obsession.
These obsessions, worries, drives, wants, likes, reactions, actions,
refusal to go beyond their current loss of ability to function in
society, because of games and tapes. Both these- games and tape,s are
what we have introjected, from the outside, or how we reacted to a
situation, where we froze in position, then continued to hold in, hold
down, hold back, and the frozen frame of reactive instinct or drive, so it
becomes chronic, then if held for even more time, it hardens, to a
concretial block, which can be seen in groups of muscles, which create
the frozen response/act/fear, within the bodymind, showing clearly, the
character trait and tree, that creates bodymind armor.
A character trait becomes chronic, when we shy away, from the frozen
statute, our holding in/down/back creates, formulating, in the
bodymind, by holding muscle groups, to a reflection, and a supporter, of
the original reaction-response.
A character tree is the redline character trait ( Wilhelm Reich-
Character Analysis and Orgone Energy ), form of the tree; the
branches build by the frozen reaction-response, with its reflective
bodymind frozen armor positioning. This position, shadow reflection is
in continual view, as the person moves, etc..
The character tree shows up in another way, and can be worked on,
through game and tape theory.
Game theory originated with Eric Berne, in his book " Games People
Play ". Here he divides the human consciousness into
Parent/Adult/Child. You might recognize this as the philosophical
discourse method of thesis-antithesis-synthesis ( one of the more
prominent philosophers to use this method- is Hegel ).
The parent is the rule and regulations, and the don't do this and
don't do that, and don't even move, because something horrible can
happen. These are brought into being by childhood experiences of
parental control, and educational propaganda ( the rules and regs,
so that a teacher can handle the class, no matter, they're doing
psychological damage, to the child, putting in their minds negative
conditioning, because of their inability to handle class sizes ),
which the person introjects, into a Caricature, of the person, who
implanted the threats or warnings, into their minds, or the criminals,
who hurt them, when they were young, middle aged, or old.
Once the child leaves the presence of the person, who caused the
reactive fear/anger/etc., which implodes, causing the parent, to come
up with their cliche answers; the child creates a shadow presence of
the person, who caused the reaction. In other words, the child
introjects a false image, to take the place of the actual person,
experience, when progenitor is no longer around them or in their
life.
The parent, of course, isn't all bad, the rules and regulations
taught to the child by the parents, and some teachers, are needs, the
child is going to have to learn, to live in the world, in the family
and in public. Yet even good rules must be recognized as only
suggestions; the person must transform them, if the circumstance,
and his/her idea of how to handle the situation, means adapting the
learned behavioral control experience, to one that fits the situation.
This is pragmatism, of being open to doing what's necessary, to handle
the situation, and it can help, balanced out by the code of ethics- the
person has, or wants to have, so he/she acts in the way appropriate to
their internal ethical base.
The child is the one, who wants love, is innocent, loves
unconditionally ( which is a major aspect of Carl Rogers psychological
counseling methodology ), and is open, curious and ready to believe
what is told to him or her.
The child makes all adults responsible- to being open, honest,
authentic, sharing, caring, loving and self-responsible in everything
they do, with the child.
The opposite of this is the child, who is spoiled, fearful, haunted,
demanding, obsessive, wanting love, wanting to be heard, listened to,
played with, and seeing the world with eyes, trying to make themselves
heard by themselves, and others.
The adult is the synthesis of the Parent and the Child. It's the one,
which chooses the correct action to take, and the response, to outside
and internal stimuli. However, the adult is only as good, as its
ability, to show and work with both the child and the parent, in an
authentic and responsible way.
The adult uses psychological methodology of its choosing, to work with
the two other aspects of itself. It sees problems and works with them,
until the problem is resolved, mentally/bodymind/spiritually. All
three must resolve each problem, for themselves. This may be
instantaneous, with the resolvement, of one of the aspects, or may have to
be done, with each to create, a happy, healthy ability, to work with this
problem, and any one that comes up- like it.
How does the adult handle the problems it knows, and doesn't know
about? Here we look to how the mind categories these problems, fears,
unknowns, not trusting, etc..
To do this- we work with our mind, to find the tapes, which
are finite structures, which we have introjected, symbolized and worked
with, to make ourselves see how bad we are, how weak we are, how overly
structured we are, or how totally responsive reactive we are, to any
stress, responsibility, etc..
How do we do this? You begin by asking yourself " What mental tapes do
I use to live my life, here and now?
Do this with mental, bodymind and spirit.
List them all. Don't leave out a single one. You then, begin to work,
with the one you feel is the most important- right here and now.
You can role play, by making all the elements in the tape, into
figure/background, work with the figures, until you run out of them,
then finish with background. You hopefully will have an aha!experience
or Gestalt experience.
Many times, when you work ,with the core branch, and all other branches
close to it, the connecting branches can resolve themselves, or
be weakened in strength, so resolving them, will be easier.
No matter, if the resolvement, in the mental/spiritual is done, you must
work with the bodymind, to release the chronic holding in/down/back
that symbolizes that mental/spiritual/tapes, and the frozen emotional
outburst held within ,those frozen muscles.
May the Microcosmic Force be with you!
