Covert Metaphor

I take the time to research everything out there from Reichian Therapy to Chaos Magic; anything that might enhance spiritual and psychological growth. I have found Psychosynthesis to demonstrate sustaining self-transformation.

Psychosynthesis is based on the work of Roberto Assagioli, and consists of a number of very effective techniques that allow both psychological and spiritual growth. A major part of psychosynthesis techniques are working with subpersonalities.

In psychosynthesis, subpersonalities have have their own motivations. They each perceive the world in their own unique way. The psychosynthesis model of subpersonalities separates our overall personality into mini-personalities. The subpersonality model can be a very useful one if your goal is to unite your unconscious and conscious mind to focus on those things you really want.

Each subpersonality has its own mythology, its own story. Metaphor can be very useful when communicating directly with one of your subpersonalities.

By keeping a daily journal you can easily identify different moods, desires, traits, and reality perceptions. One idea is to separate these traits into subpersonalities using your favorite mythology, and gave each one a name. By objectifying a subpersonality in this way, it makes it possible to dis-identify with it and observe its behaviours.
