The Nature Of Human Nature: Your Three Selves

            In earlier articles we established self-healing includes a wide range of modalities.  It starts with herbs & massage, continues on into addressing the invisible and subtle energetic body, starting with homeopathy and reflexology; continues further with meridians tracing and tapping.  The field of self-healing modalities then starts to employ testing of some kind, as in Touch for Health, which anchors many people into testing via muscles.  At the far end of self-healing modalities, the mystical end, Theta Healing and The PTS Masters & Doctorate Program in Spiritual Science, encourage people to self-test and self-heal with God as their Partner.  ALL of these are a big part of . . .

The future of healthcare

In the future, all health care for adults, except emergency care, will begin with self-care, self-healing, kinesiology and energetic practices. Why?  Because these are the least-cost ways to address problems and address prevention.  Self-care, kinesiology and energetic practices are most helpful in chronic and degenerative conditions, the most problematic conditions--when patients have high willingness to heal. 

Q: Well, that’s obvious.  Why isn’t this practiced?

A: Self-healing, becoming your own doctor to any degree, is intimately connected with learning to think for yourself.  As independent thinking is more encouraged in K-12 education primarily thru charter and Waldorf-Steiner schools, independent thinking will be elevated and more people will be able to think for themselves in terms of self-healing. 

What successful self-healers have in common

            What grounded, effective, HAPPY self-healers have is a comprehensive VISION of what it means to be fully human and optimally healthy.  They know where they are going in their own psyche.  They may even have ways of measuring optimal function against current expression, as I do in my practice.

To get more people involved with self-healing, we need new views on the Nature of Human Nature.  20th century mainstream culture left us no functional psychology in this sense:  models of the human psyche, simple enuf to appeal to high school seniors, college freshmen and anyone else interested in the Nature of Human Nature. 

It's up to the 21st century to bring forward better models to engage  young adults--and anyone else--into lifelong psychological health.

A very good basis for a healthy psychology of growth comes from Hawaiian mysticism, Huna.  In in the West it's called the Three Selves.  The Three Selves (3S) models the whole human psyche including our natural spiritual capacities  The model is so simple, versions of it can be taught to five year olds as long as loving is the focus.  Make loving the focus.

            The inner child, also called the basic self, is the one breathing you right now.  The conscious self only occasionally attends to how we breathe.  We CAN breathe consciously--but--frankly, the conscious self has more pressing and interesting things to do.  Typically the inner child has the language of a two to five year old; and, can only count to ten.

What does the inner child want? It wants the loving cooperation of the conscious self to bend down and lovingly assist it with all the places it hurts and where it is stuck in life. 

The conscious self

            The conscious self (c/s)  is the one reading this word right now.  The job of the c/s is to make healthy choices and decisions.  3D life for all of us is a rapid sequence of opportunities to make better, healthier decisions.  As it matures, the c/s learns to make healthy decisions for the highest good of all concerned.  In other words, it learns ethics; it learns the value of alignment, "I am what I align with."   The c/s is trying to do the right thing, at the right time, with the right people, for the right reasons.  The c/s has the job of learning cooperation with the b/s and high self. 

The c/s is also the one who makes To Do lists and lists of all kinds; including, "Bad people do these kinds of things. . . Good people do these kinds of things . . ." 

What does the c/s want?  Just ask it; it has all the language you have.  It's domain in numbers, is the domain of 100, the decimal system. 

The high self

            The high self (h/s) is the one who knows the plan of your present embodiment, the lessons your soul planned to accomplish and what opportunities you have to accomplish your goals.  Your h/s is working right now to ascertain the value of the Three Selves for you.  That's its main job, to determine the VALUE of persons, places and experiences for you.

What does the h/s want?  Whatever facilitates the soul doing and learning what it signed up to do and learn, whatever propels you forward to align with love, Light and angels and your own divinity.

The conscious selves communicate with each other by talking.  Two basic selves in the same room communicate with each other SUBconsciously thru body language and all other non-verbal channels.  The high selves communicate with each other UNconsciously, above the yak-yak mind, looking for people who are beneficial for you to relate with.  At each level, your 3S communicate with each other.

Whenever two or more people meet, all the basic selves and all the high selves are in constant communication depending on proximity and involvement.
