Self-knowledge based on this model means to start looking for those personalities who live in us and get to know each other
better.
You can imagine that with the inner person, quite figuratively. Anyone who gets involved in the idea that very different personalities
are at home in us often has a very quick idea of some of these people. There can e.g. be strict people in us, like a perfectionist or an
impeller, who make sure that we are efficient. Then there are also quite "soft" parts, such as a caring person who always makes sure
that everyone is well. The nature of the people and their composition in us is very different
for each of us and it is fascinating and very enlightening to discover the persons within
ourselves. The more part-personalities you find in yourself, the more complex your inner
personal landscape becomes. And that is really a fascinating research trip.
To assemble your team: Just take a look which personalities come to mind spontaneously as
part of you. Here are some tips to help you track them down. Feel the idea of the different
personalities in you. Do you have an ad hoc one or even several pictures in mind? If so, then
describe these pictures: What are these people? How do you look? What do they stand for
and what do they care about in you?
If you feel that there is something in you that you do not know exactly what it is, it is best to
simply write down for five minutes uncensored n what to ask, "What is wrong with me?"
comes in the head. Then go through your records and carefully ask every word or
statement "Who in me could have said or felt that?" Be aware of voices and phrases that
come to your mind regularly. Who could say that?
Here are some examples of inner people who should encourage you to get to know your
own parts:
•
An inner child or evenseveral - These are usually very vulnerable parts in us, which are similar to what we were as a child (in
several at different ages). Our inner children are in need of love and seek protection, but can also be very funny and creative.
•
An Inner Critic - A person who critically reviews what we do and often criticizes us about the fee.\nA Dreamer - A person
who is imaginative and enjoys imagining everything possible and impossible. Maybe also the person in you, who guards your
lifelong dream like a treasure.
•
A boss or guardian - A person who tells everyone where to go.\nA fighter or a knight - a person who makes sure nobody gets
too close and can hurt you.
•
A jester - an entertainer and jester, who can never be serious.\
•
A clerk or accountant - a person, e.g. very carefully calculating who owes you and to whom you owe something. She/He wants
to make sure that you do not miss out.\nA scaredy cat - a very timid person for whom anything seems dangerous.
•
An Inspector - Someone who never gives the reins from the hand.
Conduct conscious dialogues - directly in MediTool\nIf one assumes the existence of different personalities or personalities in us,
then why should it not be possible to enter into a dialogue with them? This is much less schizophrenic than it sounds. You already
have dialogues with your inner people anyway - or rather, these with you - but mostly unconsciously.
Dialog with your
inner Team
vvvv
Now that you - and directly in MediTool - have a dialogue with one or more of your
inner people, you begin to see more clearly what is otherwise unconscious.
This in turn allows you to actively shape the dialogues.
Ideally,you respect and appreciate the part personalities in you. After all, they are
part of you. As hard as they maysometimes do, it is alsouseless to fight them,
because then you fight against yourself. It is much more effective to actually
imagine your inner personalitiesas independent persons and to speak with you.
