WHO I AM AND WHO I AM NOT

WHO I AM NOT

Healing is often as much about removing things that are not us, as it is about learning who we really are.  When new clients come to me for help, especially when they know they need something but they’re not sure what that is, one of the first questions I usually ask them is if they know who they really are?  

WHO I AM PART ONE

From a practical perspective human consciousness has four core, basic, mortal layers, forming a quadrant of stability. Once this quadrant is stable, comes a fifth layer, an immortal, largely silent layer that is an observer, distinct from these four. The first four pieces I’ve named the Core Four, the building blocks that, combined, create a mortal Sense of Self. We might think of the Core Four as the home within which, when safe to do so, the immortal ‘soul’ makes itself known and happily lives and grows.

WHO I AM PART TWO

Human life happens.  All sorts of good and bad influences impact nature’s course of consciousness development and growth.  Trauma, in particular, creates blindspots or blocks that can prevent people from seeing clearly.  This is because trauma impacts the ‘Core Four’ (mind, body, spirit, emotions), and so it also directly impacts our relationship with our ‘Sense of Self’.  When the Sense of Self is impacted by trauma, it gets weaker, smaller or less reliable; we feel ‘less than’ ourselves when we’ve been through a traumatic experience.  

WHO I AM PART THREE

The Core Four layers of the self, the mental, emotional, physical and spirit bodies, are interconnected parts of a whole; they all feed into each other in a symbiotic way.
