The nature of human nature: You have Three Selves

The nature of human nature is you have Three Selves.

It would be nice if human beings came with printed instruction manuals. The closest thing we have to this, that is clear, simple and accurate — as long as you are open to the entire range of the human psyche and don’t need to pick and choose – is the Three Selves model.

The human psyche is arranged like a sandwich. The rational mind, our conscious self, is the middle self. This is really the “beef,” the substance of the sandwich.

Above and below the middle are two helpers selves, like slices of bread. One helper being is below the conscious self in frequency. This is our the habit body, the inner child, the basic self, the operating system of the earthbound human psyche.

The other helper being is above the conscious self in frequency. This is the high self. It handles “business” we have with fulfilling our life plan and evaluating opportunities for growth and development.

Q: So what? What can I DO with this scheme?

A: You can do A LOT. Communication between the rational mind and the habit body is the main course of inner cooperation, however you define this. If you are NOT practicing communication, cooperation and negotiating differences with your “silent partner,” your basic self, you sure as heck are going to have to wait if you want to communicate with your own high self!

The high self will only come directly into relationship with our rational mind if loving is present. This means the lower two selves, conscious and habit body, have to be communicating and working together as a TEAM, at least somewhat.

Q: Hoo boy. So how do I communicate with a “silent partner”?

A: You do this thru inner testing or Kinesiology-testing, K-testing, of any kind. Arm-pull-down is only the best known form of this; and, arm-pull-down is by far the hardest form to master. Many readers of this can already do inner testing by putting your hand on your heart and knowing if this or that thing is “true for me” or “not true for me,” at this time.

Everything else is simply practice, practice, practice. Practice evaluating which movie to go see, which vitamin your body wants; what to cook for dinner; these are good places to begin.

Q: Sounds like a lot of work. Why bother doing all this asking and testing?

A: The truth is down here the rational mind, the small “s” self, can only eve see from “I level.” Spirit does not have this limitation. The reason K-testing of all kinds is spreading so rapidly thru ALL professions, is because it increases our ability to make better decisions. We make better decisions if we have a second, informed opinion, from a different point of view than our own rational mind. For physical, material and even emotional concerns, you can’t beat your own inner child as an expert to consult. Other people, responding from their rational mind, are likely to make the same errors we make from our rational mind viewing the concern from “I level.” Your inner child will tell you the truth—if you cultivate trust with him or her.

Q: Who said I need to make better decisions?

A: That’s up to you. If you learn to make better decisions, you will make fewer boo-boos that bring regret. Better decisions: less stress. The quality of your life here will increase. You’ll probably be happier. You’ll only know if you try this. The only way to do it wrong is NOT to try at all.

Q: What happens after I make perfect decisions all the time?

A: No promises here! I’m still learning too! Very experienced testers learn the meaning of “practice” as in a chiropractor has a healing practice;” if you remain a good student, you are always learning how to ask more and better questions.

Q: Still sounds like work. Where is the loving?

A: Loving has to be the focus, the endgame. Loving is the way we reunite our scattered psyche, the way we untangle our inner snarls and knots, the way we reduce anxiety and reactivity, so we are “reacting less rapidly to life” in John-Roger’s phrase.

Q: So is there a book of questions to use?

A: Nope; you write your own book. You don’t have to know—you only have to ask. You don’t have to know what you have to do. The Universe rewards action. If you make an experiment, you will learn from it and make a better experiment the next time. The only wrong way ask—is not to ask at all.

It helps if the conscious self, the middle of the sandwich of the Three Selves, adjusts to the language of being “a spiritual being having a human existence.” For those who want more, there is more. Simply ask Love, Light and Angels to be your Partners in each decisions making process you enter into. Operators are standing by 24/7. This is one interpretation of Bob Dylan’s “a Highway of Diamonds with nobody on it.” This is how you get on such a highway. The Three Selves is your map and guide.

Q: Okay, great. I gotta go watch the ball game now.

A: Unless the conscious self become curious about its own habits and begins to identify which habits can be upgraded, you will always get the same results tomorrow as you got yesterday. The only way tomorrow changes is when you make new choices today.

Q: Aren’t there other map-models of the whole Epson just as good?

A: I dunno. Like what? I’ve been looking at this for 30 years. Maybe you have seen a map-model for the whole person that is clearer, simpler and embraces the spiritual capacities of the human psyche. I have not. The 3S is one of the very few models anywhere that accommodates such difficult topics as entities, karma, multiple personality, spontaneous human combustion and so on. So far I know of no othe model able to do this. The 3S appers to be the best candidate for a “big tent” modle within which toehr psychologies can find support and clarification.

The great use of the 3S is not explaining the ehadlines on the National Enquirer tabloids. Rather the greatest use of the 3S is in education, at all levels, so a coherent vision of human nature, the nature of human nature, can be conveyed to younger generations. Aspects of the 3S are simple enuf to be shared with five year olds and understood by them. High school seniors, college freshman and sophomores can grasp the entire model and how it addresses the logic of karma.

The 3S is a “gift that keep on giving” thruout life, a simple, elegant model of mental-emotional-spiritual harmony and balance. If we can learn this as young adults, we can take it with us thru life.

Q: I heard of this. Isn’t this Hooponopono?

A: Yes it is; it comes from the wisdom practices of Hawaiian shaman called Kahunas. If you wish to learn it the Hawaiian way, you have to learn the Hawaiian language. If you wish to skip that, try the Max Freedom Long version or the John-Roger version or the Trhee Selves textbooks I wrote. Wahtever works for yuo is fine with me. So far the only comprehensive textbook on the three selves, without using the Hawaiian language, is You have Three Selves; The clearest, simplest model of the whole person, vols 1&2, available at Lulu.com and Amazon.
