Synopsis:
Numerical analysis and validation of the
psychological model of mask, wounded child (shadow) and inner child by
radionics/dowsing methods. Numerical data on the different
mind-states/programmes/subpersonalities indicating that e.g. different
programmes (subpersonalities) have a different IQ. Indication of the potential
of various therapies to recognize the wounded child and free/release the inner
child. This model is explained, illustrated by case history data, analysis of
historical figures, comparisocnb of data concerning spiritual
teachers/gurus, and compared with
philosophical, therapeutical, religious and magic worldviews. The combination
of numerical data for otherwise intangible qualities like spiritual resonance
and the development path of the psyche yield valuable insight in how the psyche
and psychotherapy works and could work.
Most illnesses and problems in our life stem from the repressed inner
child that wants to be heard.
The Ancient Greek
aphorism "Know thyself" (Greek: γνώθι
σεαυτόν or gnothi seauton) was inscribed in golden letters at the lintel of
the entrance to the
And can we
know ourselves by ourselves, or do we need the help of others. The
In modern
times we have seen psychotherapy, psychology and a host of related disciplines
evolve into tools for self-knowledge. Psychological tests, personality type
matrices like the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs indices, self-help programs,
psychedelics, inner child and wounded child programs, one can spend a lifetime
discovering oneself.
The
sobering truth is, however, that very few people reach the level of
self-knowledge and awareness that results in overcoming the basic programming
we so easily refer to as the ego or believe to be the personality, the mask we
present to the world (and believe to be ourselves). Many professional
psychologists now acknowledge, that even the most advanced and extensive
psychological tests give little insight in the way a person acts and will act
in real-life situations. Even as psychological testing is still very popular in
the corporate world, the results are indicative at best, the top performers
emerge in the reality of human interaction, the problem-makers are rarely
weeded out by such tests. The “human touch” in selecting personnel and HRM
functions is essential.
Something
is missing in our perception of the human condition, in how we perceive our
psyche. Psychology, with Wundt, Pavlov, James, Freud, Jung, Adler, Perls,
Maslow, Rogers, Piaget, Skinner, Grof and so many others has discovered a lot,
but has modern science really uncovered more than what the Zen-masters, the
Vedic Rishi’s or Plato understood? Were philosophers like Hegel, Husserl,
Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty on a really new track with their
exploration of phenomena (what
presents itself to us in conscious experience), is there really a schism
between the idealists and the realists if we would truly understand the Veda’s
and Upanishads. Weren’t Kant and Hume not both trying to understand what is
beyond empiricism and rationalism, trying to define or isolate the deep reality
from the perception we know is subjective at best and both touching on that
vast realm of magic and transcendental knowing we cannot perceive with our
senses or rationalize with our mind, but sense exists. For me the history of
philosophy and science is an exciting story, but also a cycle of discovery and
rediscovery, the Uruburos
chewing its tail, finding the truth and the love underlying all realities anew
all the time. Therefore, what follows is not new, it’s just my truth, my path,
my perspective on something which is beyond our ‘normal’ awareness.
In this
essay I will try to give my personal view on how the mind-body-soul-spirit
complex that we all are, functions. This is a partial and personal view, based
on life’s lessons and inspiration from many sides, but as a working hypothesis
it kind of worked for me and many people around me. It doesn’t delve into the
depths of the philosophical and theological discussion, but is a practical
approach to human development, to developing the potential we all have, to
uncovering what is usually hidden.
One of the
aspects I will not touch is karma, either personal karma or what in very broad
terms could be called family or clan related karma. Beyond the notion that
there is immediate action-reaction for whatever we do karma is often perceived
as energy we bring into this life from previous lifetimes. Family karma is
different, there are energies associated with families and groups, clans, villages
and even corporations or institutions that we carry with us, sometimes
protective and beneficial but in many cases this energy is “tilted” or
negative. In some cultures this is described as curse, it does have
considerable influence on our well being, health and development, but is quite different
from the model developed here.
Ride
'em cowgirl/guy! You get to get on board that great unruly beast
that is your subconscious underworld dwelling primal instinctual
passions, and hold on tight, until you have um, 'tamed' or at least
begun some kind of civil negotiations with your primal self. Serpent
shows us our passions, in all their naked, dancing glory, unfiltered
by moral gauze or television ratings. Get to know this deeper self and
build at least a hand signal communication game so the two of you
don't embarrass each other. Flare up you will, so begin the process of
balancing and organizing this passionate side of you. Good luck and
NEVER EVER allow yourself to make yourself feel guilty for giggling or
expressing your true nature, especially if it involves dancing,
parasols, and eating grapes handed to you by someone else.

This essay
starts with a kind of thesis, which is that we have a number of programs
(personalities or subpersonalities) each with its own mode of operation,
intelligence, bodily functions, quite separated from each other. Nearly all
people have developed a mask personality or program, that kind of hides the
original design in us. The mask or adapted personality is our conscious self,
perceived as I and myself, but in fact it is a mode of being, a mode of
operation and stimulus-response automatisms that dominates our thinking and
behaviour, but is not the real “Self”. It works, has adapted to what parents,
school and the world expect from us, is effective and usually quite “normal”,
but it is fake, constructed, and we are unconscious of its operation. The real
self is also not the Shadow or the wounded child mode of being, as that
“repressed program” is what became of the “Higher Self”or inner child after a
lifetime of domination by the mask personality. Our shadow is full of dark
adaptations, patterns and complexes, but when in that repressed program
(accidentally, under stress or via therapy, illness, drugs or otherwise
exceptional circumstances) we can at least consciously touch on those complexes
and trauma’s. In the shadow mode we have at least a chance of working through those
complexes and trauma’s, accept them and potentially integrate them, clearing
our selves, uncovering the inner, hidden child. The state we then, sometimes
with much effort, sometimes instantaneously and effortless, arrive at has been
described as mystical union, lucid awareness, enlightenment, Satori, Samadhi,
so many words for what cannot be described by words.
I will
state the most important lessons first as a number of postulates.
·
Most
people have two (sometimes more) “programs” (sub-personalities)
·
The
dominant program (the mask P1) is what we normally think we are
·
The
dominant, everyday program is usually well adapted, social, well behaved and of
good will.
·
The
repressed program (the design, inner child, shadow P2) is what we originally
were, but got distorted because it is repressed and not given space
·
The
word inner child refers to the original and its talents and innocent sense of
wonder, the shadow is the inner child as it developed in the dark, so to speak,
dominated and pushed away by the other program, that adheres to the norm.
·
The
dominant program usually develops in early childhood as a result of real or
perceived trauma’s and experiences, sometimes peri- or prenatal. This not only
happens in dysfunctional families or due to physical trauma’s, accidents,
illnesses, but is a normal development in everybody’s life. It overshadows the
inner child, original program.
·
Each
program is based on a specific and consistent breath-regime/mode
·
Each
program has a distinct intelligence, social interaction pattern, creative
talents, libido, sexual orientation and other specific characteristics.
·
The
sometimes great differences in intelligence, talents, sexual orientation,
willpower, etc. between the two (or more) programs give rise to inner conflicts,
insecurities and depressions.
·
Our
trauma’s, experiences and memories are stored in our mind (brain), in our body
and in our emotional responses. They are accessed unconsciously from P1,
unconsciously an sometimes more consciously from P2
·
Under
pressure, stress, illness, pain we will switch programs, but also when very
happy, in love, travelling, under the influence of substances, sounds, other
people.
·
The
repressed program is usually active less than 10% of the time
·
The
repressed program wants to claim its place under the sun, and makes that clear
via signals like depressions, illnesses, malfunctioning organs. If ignored,
those signals will become stronger and eventually kill us.
·
Illnesses,
especially the ones related to deeper unbalances, are primarily caused by the repressed
program, but the effects carry over in the dominant mode
·
The
dominant program (the mask) will have less effect on our exterior and the
impression we make on others, as it is usually quite “normal” and adapted.
·
The
repressed program shapes, especially as we grow older, our face and body
language, the deficiencies and illnesses become a strong non-verbal message.
·
Other
people perceive us, at least initially, as the repressed program (personality)
·
The
split between what we think we are (the dominant) and how we are perceived by
others (the repressed) is what I call the Human Condition, and the cause of
much suffering.
·
We
all have some idea about what our repressed program entails, as we know how we
act when mad, stressed etc., but usually we don’t acknowledge that as a
separate program and refer to it as “our bad mood”, not realising that it is
that bad mood that shapes our persona,
the impression we make on others.
·
It
follows that other people are better capable of recognising and pinpointing the
characteristics of the repressed personality.
·
Becoming
aware and accepting the repressed program, discovering and “owning” its
problematic aspects, its programmed reactions or “buttons” but also the hidden
talents and gifts is a first step to liberation.
·
Once
the repressed program is liberated or freed, it stops the negative signals and
becomes a peer-level partner of the then less dominant program.
·
Healing
the inner child or liberating the shadow program, allowing the original design
to emerge is therefore essential in most situations.
·
This
healing, cleaning or clearing is a multidimensional operation. It involves
giving more time to the inner child, developing its spiritual resonance and the
clearing away of the complexes that gave rise to the formation of the mask or
dominant personality in the first place.
·
A
happy inner child, given space to express itself, is the best guarantee for a
long an healthy life, and the possibility of self-realization. Spiritual and
creative leaders usually have a fairly liberated inner child.
·
The
characteristics of these processes, programs and states of being can be
represented by numerical scales. Even esoteric notions as enlightenment, level
of awareness, happiness and in fact all dimensions of our human “being” can be
represented by numerical values. Those values are subjective, but repeatable
and give a deeper insight in how our psyche-body-mind works.
Now the
above postulates are quite strong and somewhat revolutionary, especially the
ones where I attribute separately an IQ, social capabilities etc. to the
different programs/subpersonalities/modes. In case of extreme multiple
personality syndrome this is generally accepted, but that this goes for nearly
everybody is quite a statement. Also that IQ, personality traits etc are
directly resulting and caused by the breath pattern differs from “western”
understanding, but of course those well versed in yoga and understanding what
Chi does will see the resonance with “eastern” wisdom. Incidentally, this means
that changing one’s personality can be achieved by a strict breath regime, as
achieved in monastic situations, by chanting, mantra’s, but also happens when
certain muscles are afflicted by an accident or by wearing a tight corset.
The word
“personalities” or even subpersonalities
is a bit strong and makes one think of the multipersonality disorder,
but will be used here to indicate those programs, modes or subpersonalities we
often see described as the conscious personality, versus the shadow, wounded or
inner personality.
When I
develop or extend the idea of multiple subpersonalities or programs, usually
two, indicated as the mask (the normative, dominant adapted personality) (P1)
and the shadow (inner child, repressed mode) P2. The P2 mode can be very dark,
when there is a lot of trauma, complexes and reflexes, we then speak of the
shadow or wounded child, when it is cleared and less frustrated it becomes the
inner child. I see these programs as rather independent modes of being. Each
mode has its own breath pattern, intelligence, social qualities, sexual
orientation, sexual preferences, talent pool etc., sometimes quite different.
Each mode draws upon and accesses the “bag”of experiences, trauma’s and
reflexes built up in our lifetime and stored in the body and the mind, only in
de P1 mode most of these are unconscious, automatic and cannot be accessed.
Especially the reflexes happen very fast, unnoticed, and are hard to catch or
pinpoint. Only in the P2 mode can we consciously address this bag of
experiences.
The P1 and
the P2 are usually (nearly always) the conscious and the subconscious modes,
although we do switch between them and later in life the shadow sometimes gets
more liberated and the original, the inner child that we once were, is showing
more. The P1/P2 relation is crucial in the development towards the Brahman, the
higher Self or the inner divinity, but it takes a lot of work, sometimes
illnesses and suffering to liberate the inner child, develop it along the
spiritual awareness axis and discover that it has the deep connection to that
higher self and the divine oneness that underlies it all.
Our
trauma’s, stress, frustrations and “buttons’ are stored both in the body and in
the mind (memory) and can and will be triggered and/or accessed from the mask
(P1) unconsciously and from the P2 consciously. Healing the mind (and body)
therefore is more easy from and in the P2 mode. We usually are in P2 in stress,
illness, when outside our normal situation, when in love, in sex and with
certain substances, in certain body positions, meditation etc.
The shadow (P2)
The shadow
is a psychological term, used by Jung and others, to indicate a space or
operational mode with its own response patterns, judgements and reflexes in our
psyche we do not experience or “own” in our normal ego/personality mode. It is
mostly unconscious, only under stress, in adverse conditions, as a result of
certain drugs, addictions, in love and when under attack we notice this shadow.
And if we don’t, others around us usually do and call this “bad mood”, or not
being yourself etc. There is also a more positive aspect to the shadow, as
there is a golden potential hidden, that does show itself at times as a feeling
of happiness or even mystical union. The shadow in that sense can be seen as
the inner child, which is wounded because of experiences, trauma’s and defence
mechanism but still contains the roots of original inner child, sometimes
called the higher self. The shadow is more authentic than the mask, but is still
fairly self-centered and is usually
perceived as the “bad” guy inside, the one that makes us do nasty
things. It is however essential that we recognize, accept and honour even those
“bad” traits inside of us, only then can we become aware of how they, often
sneakily, influence our lives and learn to deal with them. Denial of the shadow
doesn’t work, we have to become conscious of what is there and what it does,
and paradoxically they then dissolve and disappear, and the true inner child
emerges. This can be seen as a cleaning or clearing of the shadow, as giving
space (time/attention) to the inner child, or ultimately as enlightenment,
satori etc.
The mask
(P1)
As we grow
up, we develop a personality mode (program) to cope with the outside world, its
demands, logic, irrationalities, adverse conditions etc. This becomes our mask,
the personality we experience as ourselves, as the I, the ego, the operational
mode we identify with and show to the world. It is the outermost layer of our
psyche. It develops from very early
childhood, basic personality traits can be detected before the child is one
years old and by age 3 or 4 it has kind of formed itself. This mask personality
is not unchangeable, in fact it develops and grows and can be changed later in
life. Many therapies like NLP and behavioural approaches are effective in
changing some aspects of the mask, in better adapting to what the external
world expects or requires. However, these adaptations are superficial, they
change the mask, thereby the self perception and can be effective in coping
better with day-to-day situations, they do NOT really change the person inside,
the inner child and the higher self. In fact, by dealing with some symptoms
that might be indications of deeper and more fundamental problems is the whole
of the psyche, they sometimes keep the person away from becoming aware of those
deeper problems.
The mask or
ego is what we think we are, but it is a mask, a fake personality to deal with
the world and the problems and opportunity it presents. It keeps us away from
our real and deeper self (lower/shadow and higher/inner child) as it provides
us with meaning and direction, including ideals, intention, ambition and will.
It has its own self-image, its own body mode (breath, posture, digestion), its
own mental mode (intelligence, memory, will), blaming strategy, its own libido, emotional and intuitive mode
(reflexes). These are different and fairly independent from the characteristics
of the other personality modes (programs), in most people the shadow/inner
child, but sometimes more mask-like personalities have developed.
The mask
characteristics are, in my opinion, not a given (nature), but a result of
nurture (education, conditions of growing up) with at most a limited genetic
(DNA) influence. This also means that I believe the characteristics of this
mask personality are not fixed, but can be changed or developed.
In most
people, this mask or (faslse) ego is a good feedback mechanism that helps us
cope with the world. It works fairly well, it keeps them relatively well
adapted, somewhat happy, in general (superficial) healthy and most important,
it effectively keeps us away from experiencing the deeper personality mode(s),
the real self or inner self. And rightfully so, without the mask we, as a
child, would probably not have survived or would have been damaged even more.
The mask strives for outward perfection, structure, evasion of negative
emotions, even the search for (some kind of subjective) truth, but is also a
very good shield, indeed a mask, used to show an identity that is not our true
self. Anxiety, fear and anger are major drives and typologies like the
enneagram show how these are the basis of different (mask) personalities.
The true
self, the perfect child in us that protected itself by building this mask, but
got wounded and damaged in the process, is still there. It is however hidden
behind or in this shadow, the negative patterns and reflexes that developed in
conjunction with the mask. Abuse, pressure, bad conditions, lack of love, lack
of touch, all human beings did pick some from the tree of abundant trauma. One
could state that they did so coming from the perfect understanding and by free
will, their souls made the choice for this life and these parents, they created
the ingredients for the mask. In this respect, one could see the development of
the mask and the lifelong struggle to come back to the higher self as the human
condition, the storyline of one’s destiny. And if we see, that even in the same
family and with the same bouquet of potential trauma and abuse different kids
pick different masks, this leads to the assumption that the soul, the ultimate
driver of our body-mind-spirit, is in charge of all this.
Our higher
self, the original inner child, is the connection with the divine spark in us,
is in essence a part of the divine. It connects, unites, does not separate,
does not discriminate. It has those divine virtues, love, humbleness, patience,
compassion, courage, wisdom, is creative and essential. It goes with the flow,
intention becomes effortless, we feel one with all.
Fundamental questions
In a very
general way, looking at a model distinguishing between inner child/higher
self/design on the one hand and personality/ego on the other hand, I have a
feeling that this also has to do with the very fundamental separation between
determinism versus free will or causality-logic versus Kant’s “Vernunft” of
Plato’s ideals. This distinction comes up in so may forms, science versus
religion, mechanical causality versus agent causality, logic versus intuition,
ratio versus synchronicity, the meat computer versus divine grace etc. I think
the major factor here is time. Causality has to do with time, the chain of
events, the predictability, the
Now, could
it be, that the self in us, the design we are born with (or manifest in our
mothers womb) is the part connected to that other dimension, that out-of-time
reality, that divine connection and the mask or personality we develop in early
childhood (and I believe that starts very early and most patterns are present although
not fully crystallised before we are 1 year old) is the time-bound mode, the
logical, deterministic pattern. This distinction between the two modes, worlds,
patterns or whatever we call them, if related to the inner child/personality
model, could explain many so-called anomalies, but also the “human condition”.
As this is
an essay, dealing with general ideas in a personal context, it is maybe
appropriate to explain how I came to the above postulates and the theoretical
model underlying it. Trained as a physicist and business administration, I had
a career first in corporate world, then as an independent journalist and
publisher and for the last 20 years as a businessman with diverse interest,
mostly in media and computers. After some mystical experiences I got interested
in the “alternative” around 1989, was involved in the magazine Mondo2000 and
the crowd surrounding that maverick publication like Leary, J.P. Barlow, R.U.
Sirius, McKenna and Naranjo and got a quick exposure to the “new age”world.
Since then I had like a double career, apart from ICT and publishing I started
a company Egosoft dealing in
consciousness technology like brainmachines, biofeedback, hypnotic induction
and mindware. From 1995 tot 2001 I owned and operated an alternative television
station in
The basis
of my work is dowsing or divination, using a pendulum and a numerical chart,
but also this model of the psyche with a first (P1) and second (P2) personality.
Sometimes there are more, but for practical reasons the two are usually enough.
I use the traditional methods and lists used in homeopathic, kinestetic and
radionic practice, checking out the bodily functions, organs, chakra’s,
psychological, karmic disturbances, etc. but I do this for the two programs P1
and P2. I found out, that usually (but not always) illnesses are more prominent
in P2, but that certain things, like the amount of gallstones, are the same in
P1 and P2. That makes sense, these are hard facts, but other factors are
distinctly different. I also started to look into factors and talents that are
less common, like spiritual resonance, libido, clairvoyance, healing talent,
social talent, sexual orientation, sexual inhibition, SM tendencies and
could kind of determine, how these
factors developed over time and under the influence of certain factors, like
food, company of certain people, different kinds of therapy, also in a
predictive way. With of course many mistakes and errors, dowsing always has
some projection errors, luckily without major mishaps for other people (I
myself had some major relapses of the sarcoidosis) I developed my model and
build a kind of methodology to use it as a diagnostic tool, indicating
appropriate therapies and strategies to many people with sometimes amazing
results.
The ranges
of numbers that I gradually developed for many, many characteristics of a
sometimes esoteric nature, have been consistent over time and the same numbers
are found over and over again, which is handy as I tend to forget the outcome
of my work, I want to see people as people and not as cases. In some cases,
like the spiritual resonance, I have found them to have a relationship to the
spinal cord or chakra sequence. It starts at the root chakra and kind of
reflects the development of a human being from our animal ancestors. A
spiritual resonance of 4 or 8 is related to the nr 1 chakra, 16 to chakra nr
2 and usually indicating a sexual
hangup, which is very common,
Another
factor is that the release or liberation of the second program, the P2 or inner
child, is very beneficial for both body and soul development. I have checked
the number for many, many people in this respect and found that liberation of
P2 is a good indication of the “human” qualities, of being a “Mensch”. P2 can
be liberated in resonance or frequency, thus having a higher number, or it can
be given more space (time in that mode) at a lower resonance, with similar
effects. I noted, that many so called teachers and guru’s did liberate their
inner child, but didn’t really moved it beyond the 16 level and therefore are
maybe great teachers, but have this usually hidden sexual inclination that kind
of spoils the image.
Now this
whole theory didn’t arrive out of nothing. In fact I became more aware of the
whole P1 and P2 dichotomy when I found out, that my Homeopathic/Radionics
practitioner consistently would get higher number for my health, organ
functions etc. when using the Vega test method than I found myself using a pendulum.
The ratings were very much in the same direction, but mine were consistently
much lower. The explanation was that she came up with P2 figures and I could
only dowse P1 figures. Another eye-opener was a very obvious multiple
personality case, that made me aware of the distinction and the specifics of
each personality in that person.
Anyway, my
work in talking with many, many people, dowsing their numbers/ratings and
talking with them, getting feedback, correcting my errors, in fact developing a
body of understanding, resulted in the above postulates about
subpersonalities/programs. This “theory” has thus a numerical basis, the
readings/numbers are repeatable, are usually in agreement with the results from
practitioners using similar methods, but I have extended the scope of the
analysis more towards the intangibles.
To give
some idea I will give here some data in matrix form of a number of (anonymous)
people, I have helped and diagnosed. They are not very standard people, so the
data are in most case already extreme, as I do tend to get people who are kind
of advanced in some respect and especially have reached a fairly high level of
Spiritual Resonance. The various columns kind of speak for themselves, they
give a broad image of these people.. There are many more columns, especially
about the physical data, the functioning of
organs, the whole health picture, but they are less relevant here as
this essay is primarily about the psychological dimensions.

Data like
these are the basis of more discussion and fact finding with the person
involved and usually lead to strategies or therapies (sometimes straightforward
referral to the medical system of course) in order to become more aware of the
P2 presence, uncovering the shadow, then accepting the dimensions and
characteristics of the shadow, seeing the talent side of the shadow and
liberating the hidden inner child, and finally integration of the two or at
least an easy co-existence of the two sub-programs. The inner child shows
itself, usually has many talents and a new person, the true self, the design,
the core being, by whatever name, the rose inside is just that. There are many
approaches to do this, from classic psychotherapy to complex methods involving
regression, visualisation etc. In individual cases I try to find the best
approaches, the most suitable therapy, sometimes very basic and allopathic
(modern medicine), often involving a change of diet or physical regime,
sometimes alternative and less orthodox methods. The bookstores of the New Age
are full with concepts, and some work for this, others for that person, some
are easily available, others are hard to find and of course there is some
compromise as to budget, time, etc.
Schopenhauer
asserted that a person’s character is unalterable, but his views have been
surpassed by the work of those many psychologist that believe that one can and
does change. And if a person stays the same all his life, why have churches,
meditation practices, traditions anyway. So I believe a person changes and I
can actually indicate a persons development through his lifetime. It usually is
a slow process, again rising the awareness (or unblocking the flow) through the
chakra’s. Most people never get above a number of 25 or 30, so just above the
sex chakra. But with meditation, body work, (za)zen, martial arts, tantra and
many other disciplines and often without any of those (just the grace of God as
one says) some people reach a higher level. How high, and how close to
enlightenment is a matter of interpretation and definition, I tend to see a
continuing growth in awareness as one reaches more clarity and deeper levels of
the inner child. Ultimately one reaches the emptiness and divine union, but
what most people claim to be enlightenment is just an intermediate step.
In
most of this essay I use the physical “health” but also the “spiritual
resonance”as an indication of a person’s development. This is of course a
simplification, there is a whole range of bodies of a higher and more subtle
(less material) nature, like the astral, etheric, mental etc. Some, like A.
Bailey and the Theosophists have meticulously outlines these structures and
came up with 7 layers and subdivision, and there is a general idea about how to
name them and what they mean, but different tradition use different concepts
and structures. In most Eastern traditions, there is but a single subtle body.
In Hinduism, Kosas or Koshas are five cases or
sheaths which cover the Atman, being the Annamaya kosha, the food-body,
Pranamaya kosha, the breath (prana), Manomaya kosha, or “mind-sheath” (Manas),
Vijnanamaya kosha, that which discriminates, determines or wills (Vijnana)
and Anandamaya kosha, or bliss (Ananda). However, the “Western” notion
is that there are 7 subtle bodies.
I
have used the notion of “spiritual;
resonance” in the remainder of this essay
to get some kind of quick
yardstick, but to illustrate that a more complete numerical analysis based on a
multibody concept is possible, I will also give an example, using C.G. Jung,
with data for the Physical body level of development, Etheric/aura/vital body ,
Astral or emotional Body, Mental Body and Spiritual Body (in which I kind of
include atmic, buddhic and monadic). I have taken these readings from a period
about 5 years before their death, as in the last period of one’s life these
ratings usually go up, but are then no longer relevant in relation to the
public image we have of a person. Note that the P1/P2 difference indicates how
much of the “wounded child” or shadow has been worked through.

To
illustrate the development of the mask (P1) and the shadow (P2) I give some
figures about C.G. Jung. According to my dowsing and thus not based on any
bibliographical study, the following numbers indicate his development, where
the P2 percentage indicates what part of the time he was in his
“child/shadow”mode. The P2 clearing indicates how much of the shadow has been
lifted from the pure inner child or higher self, while mastership is a quality
that very few achieve and seems related to the empatic and love qualities of a
person.

The results
of my approach, working with friends and clients to unravel the matrix of their
mind-body complex and suggesting and sometimes execute therapies that have a
good chance of succeeding as indicated by the dowsing results, are sometimes
very good, but there are cases were I am incapable of finding an appropriate
therapy. Luckily I am not the only ‘sensitive’ around and I can refer these
people to them. And of course there are my personal limits, boundaries,
complexes and projections that hinder me, my ego needs deflating a lot!!
I will give
you an example of how a client kind of evolves, and how the numbers change, if
their inner child becomes free and unfettered. One could say, what are the
results of the diagnostic process, the feedback and confrontation and the
outcome of therapies suggested in an individual case, and of course I take an
example that I deemed rather successful. The person involved went through some
major transformation and we can see, that the shadow, before the therapy
sessions, clearly had some physical and some physical problems. The ex post
situation, when most of the barriers were lifted, shows more of the inner
child, revealing that the negative shadow aspects have been lost. Of course
they might come back at times, given the situation, but the progress was
remarkable.

There are
many spiritual teachers, guru’s, holy men and women, but also a lot of
imposters and bhakti-guru’s (in for the money). I have met many and interviewed
many, see www.mindlift.tv or my www.youtube.com channel mindlift. Some were
impressive, most had some flaws in the realms of sex, drug or money, a very few
walked their talk in real life.
As I have
been studying the way our psyche works, and in the paragraphs above developed a
way to quantify the various dimensions and characterists of our mind and being.
By dowsing, I have made a list of the spiritual people I know and have met
personally, and usually interviewed for some length of time.
The matrix
that follows contains a lot of numbers and might come across as a fairly
complex way to compare people. However, as there is not easy way to describe a
person, we are complex, multifaceted beings, I think that only a multifaceted
approach makes sense and that even here I am limited the scope and therefore
maybe overseeing important aspects like ESP, siddhi qualities, magnetism,
healing capabilities etc. Some of those are indicated in the next matrix (of
historical figures)
The basis
of my approach is dwosing (pendulum). I am not starting from a clear definition
of the characterists (columns) but as the rating progresses, some kind of
understanding grows what for instance gurudom is, or consciousness, or
openness. The interpretation thus found or assumed, is certainly mine, as
dowsing is always a subjective act, but might serve others.
I use the
concept of multiple subpersonalities, indicated as P1 and P2 (sometimes there
are more subpersonalities) as above.
P1 stands
for our mask, ego, outer personality, the person we believe we are and act out
in normal life, but is actually a constructed defense personality that
developed over time since childhood, is not totally fixed but can grow as we become
more aware and can be adapted by techniques like NLP and most psychotherapeutic
approaches.
P2 stands
for our hidden, inner personality, sometimes called inner child. However, in
most of us, this inner child is a wounded child, traumatized and damaged by our
experiences, very often it ahs developed dark sides and can therefore be called
our shdow. However, the shadow or lower self is just a layer over the deeper,
inner self, the inner being that we started out with and usually has
exceptional, if hidden qualities that we discover on our path through life.
The P2 thus
is the wounded child, hidden in our psychic background, showing her/himself
only in times of stress, illness, despair, love, or in dreams and in trance.
That is the time that the problems of the wounded child come to the surface, as
negative thoughts but also as depressions and physical illnesses.
As as it
turns out most holy men/women have liberated this inner child more than average
people. They “are” in their inner child mode more than average and usually have
developed the inner child to a higher degree. Not all of them, you will see
some surprising low numbers for some guru’s in their P2.
The numbers
are obtained by dowsing and have no specific meaning, except that I found out
that each chakra has a specific number, like 4 and 8 for the root chakra, 16
for the sex chakra, 43 for the hara/power/3th chakra and 60 for the heart. I
noted that people have surpassed the
I give
