But usually circumstance calls upon some aspect of self which necessarily exists in relative imbalance and distortion. So the depiction of balanced individual vs unbalanced individual sort of ignores the specific reaction to catalyst which tends to involve an aspect of that individual. The comparison is made from the choices of expression available, which are severely limited and follow predictable patterns in the case of the unconscious participation.(02-09-2014, 03:32 PM)zenmaster Wrote:(02-09-2014, 03:03 PM)Tanner Wrote: So how is one to know when an aspect has been integrated or not?When that aspect is called on to participate, the balance afforded does not result in expressions of unconscious reactions: emotional charge, or avoidance due to the misplaced, overextended, tenuous, and/or compensatory use of intuition in the form of seemingly appropriate ideological apprehensions or transcendent notions for example.
I believe I understand the idea there, but could you give a contextual example? I understand the notions of misplaced, overextended, etc, but what is that a comparison of? Is it a comparison between individuals, like, what is expected of a balanced individual vs expectation of an unbalanced individual?
Until we own our thought, we must adopt patterns of thought which are made available to our unconscious from the group unconscious, like training wheels. Those patterns of thought are on balance entirely recognizable and predictable, as we see in developmental or integral psychology.
