Have you ever felt this way in your life, often entangled in a thing, not knowing which one is the real self?
You have several selves, and "Exploring the Magical World of Personality" will tell you that each of us has about 15 or 40 "selves" in our bodies. The contradictions between these different "selves" are actually the root of a person's "inner contradictions", and if their contradictions are mediated, the inner contradictions of a person can be resolved. Otherwise, these sub-personalities will control their behavior and bring a lot of troubles to our lives.
01Find out your sub-personality
Each of us has many different selves in our hearts. We can use the personality image decomposition technique to find out the different sub-personalities in a person's mind by analyzing the personality.
First of all, we need to lie in bed in a quiet, comfortable environment, with our whole body relaxed. Then close your eyes and ask yourself softly: What kind of sub-personality do I have? Guide yourself to imagine a big house, the "house" is a symbol of the inner world of the person, and the person in the house is the sub-personality.
We can imagine walking into this house and seeing what the people are going to be in the house and what they are doing. After that, we imagine going out of the house and seeing what people will appear outside the house, and these people are also our sub-personalities.
These sub-personalities appear from slow to fast, and sometimes several sub-personalities emerge together. After a certain number of human images come out, there will also be images of animals, ghosts, gods, bodhisattvas, and even plants or minerals. The sub-personalities of these inhuman images are very "anthropomorphic", they can speak human language, and their gestures are the same as people, just like the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong in mythological stories.
02Keep a record of your sub-personality
Once these characters and non-characters have been imagined, the next step is to document their characteristics in the following ways:
The first is to record the name of the sub-personality, and we "throw ourselves into this sub-personality", imagine that we are this sub-personality, and then let the sub-personality name itself.
Then there is the recording of the gender and age of the sub-personality, their appearance and clothing, and finally and most importantly, their personality and hobbies. These are actually the processes by which we recognize every aspect of ourselves.
03Distinguish your sub-personality
After we have elicited and recorded the sub-personality, we can make psychological adjustment by identifying the sub-personality.
First of all, when different sub-personalities appear, their outward manifestations are also different, which we can judge from the way he speaks and the tone of his voice. The "hero" sub-personality speaks boldly and arrogantly, and the voice is low and powerful, while the voice of the "graceful" sub-personality is relatively light and endless, like a mountain stream.
Secondly, we can also tell which sub-personality is dominant from the handwriting and physiognomy. The sub-personality of the anxious temperament is often scribbled and messy; Depressed children are like "gray, sad people", and their handwriting is small and weak; The handwriting of the stubborn, paranoid sub-personality is hard, often tilted to one side, and sometimes there is a small twist at the beginning of the pen.
Our demeanor and expressions will also change with the alternation of sub-personalities, with some subtle changes. Moreover, different sub-personalities like different costumes and hairstyles. Therefore, we can also judge which sub-personality was dominant during this period of time from the clothes that the person was wearing.
2024 Book of Answers Socrates once said that man's greatest task is to "know himself." Identifying sub-personalities is an effective way to know oneself. Before the sub-personality is recognized, the sub-personality can control the emotions and behaviors of the person, and when we recognize it, we become the active and take control of our own life.
