Sample text

Humanistic and existential schools confirm that childhood wounding not only brings about a lack of integration but also a dissociation of the self from the body that psychoanalysis overlooks. Our defenses result in losing awareness of both our emotional and physical being. 20 Integral Psychology A complete vision of health must include not only integration and selfcohesion but also a more vibrant, sensorily alive state, a state with the joy, beauty, and pleasure that is the glory of embodiment.

While integral psychology holds both aspects of the central being equally, initially there is greater emphasis upon the psychic center, because the soul’s growth is the first order of business. Also, because the atman realization or enlightenment is so rare, at best perhaps one in several million, it is only an indirect influence on the lives of most seekers. It contributes a sense of peace and spaciousness, but until enlightenment occurs, it does not fundamentally alter the substance of the consciousness.

As this proceeds our life harmonizes with our inner being, so that all parts of our existence become increasingly aligned with our deeper psychic center—our work, our play, our relationships, our diet, our exercise, our entertainment, the books we read, the influences and experiences to which we are open. In this process the ego becomes more and more transparent, purified, receptive to the psychic’s direction. The frontal self undergoes a psychic transformation that thoroughly alters its makeup.
