The Role of DEFENCES, in theINTEGRAL LIFE CHANGE PROCESS

(the last slideshow discussed resistance as an example of one defence -- Herewe discuss the others)


ALL DEFENCES lead to CONFLICT, because they lead us awayfrom “WHO WE TRULY ARE”.

And somewhere within us, WE KNOW THAT.

So, though DEFENCES are strategies that seem to work, they can ONLYlead to more CONFLICT.


AND to Dis-ease, Dis-Harmony, and Suffering.

Such is the DESIRE to be “RIGHT” however,

We persist with our precious strategies,

despite the negative consequences,

and despite the fact they clearly do not work.


OUR INNER SKILLS, or INNER STRENGTHS are;

MIND, HEART, BREATH, and ENERGY.

Used CONGRUENTLY, and WITHOUT defences,these are POWERFUL RESOURCES INDEED.

Let’s look at each one...


MIND

The mode of operation is THOUGHT.

The defence is JUDGEMENT.

What I judge, is related to PERCEPTION, which is very UNRELIABLE.

Therefore there is bound to be CONFLICT. With ANY defence theEXPERIENCE will be CONFLICT!


The ONLY SOLUTION

is to WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS,

and ask YOURSELF,

DO I WANT THIS THOUGHT ANYMORE?Does it even serve me well?


HEART

The mode of operation, is FEELINGS, and EMOTIONS.

The defence is RESISTANCE.

What I resist, I believe has disappeared, but it has NOT.

Therefore there is bound to be CONFLICT. With ANY defence theEXPERIENCE will be CONFLICT!


The ONLY SOLUTION

is to MANAGE, YOUR EMOTIONS, and FEELINGS,

and ask YOURSELF,

DO I WANT TO RESIST THIS ANYMORE?Does resistance even serve me well?


BREATH

The mode of operation is BELIEFS.

The defence is ATTACHMENT.

What I believe I “need”, OUTSIDE of my SELF, is an ATTACHMENT.

Therefore, there is bound to be CONFLICT. With ANY defence, theEXPERIENCE will be CONFLICT!


The ONLY SOLUTION

is to QUESTION YOUR BELIEFS,

and ask YOURSELF,

DO I WANT TO BELIEVE THIS ANYMORE?Does this belief even serve me well?


ENERGY

The mode of operation is ACTIONS.

The defence is PROJECTION.

PROJECTION “sets it up”, so that ANY ACTION seems justified.

Therefore, there is bound to be CONFLICT. With ANY defence, theEXPERIENCE will be CONFLICT!


The ONLY SOLUTION

is to ASSESS YOUR ACTIONS,

and ask YOURSELF,

DO I WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE?Does it even serve me well?


If OUR INNER RESOURCES are ACTIVATED,without defences,

THE EXPERIENCE should be;

1. Enhanced personal responsibility and control2. Improved relationships3. Clarity of purpose4. Increased sense of gratitude5. Expansion of choice6. Awareness of self7. Stillness of mind


. A new approach is needed to make this a more caring connected world. Anintegral approach where we value sharing, over individualism, and caring overconflict. To achieve these goals my focus is on areas where the most change

needs to happen, MONEY, SPIRITUALITY, and HEALTH CARE. For moregreat content, please visit the following sites;
