A conscious mind is like a movie screen displaying images from two
powerful projectors, one from our unconscious and one from the
physical world. These images have very social contents: Our
identity is based on how we see others and are seen by them, in
both real and imagined ways. Knowing more about our unconscious
beliefs about self and others enhances our understanding of our
motivations - and that helps us make better choices in pursuing our
goals and striking necessary compromises. Many people have lapses
in self-esteem or experience disturbances in their sense of
identity. Uncertainties and contradictions based on erroneous
beliefs prevent them from triumphing over their crises, like a
double-headed dragon preventing the hero from reaching his goal.
Religion, philosophy, psychology, and psychoanalysis all factor
into our self-understanding. Recent studies also tell us more about
how learning on one's own can solidify skills and increase
self-esteem. This book serves as a guide through the theater of the
mind, offering insight on the many factors of identity. Consider it
a script for how to resolve conflicting identity experiences and
consolidate them in harmony The book is divided into three
sections. Act I, "Identity," explores how self-attributions lead to
a better sense of identity as one matures. By better developing a
conscious self within, we can change our goals, add to our
attitudes, re-prioritize our personal values, and transform our
plans for how to enhance our capacities. Act II, "Relationships,"
focuses on gaining constancy and continuity in loving, caring
relationships. People reflect back to us who we are, and our
attachments to some of them stabilize our essential identity. To
clarify ourselves, we can look into our minds for models of our
relationships. Act III, "Processing Emotional Meanings," centers on
mastering emotions and controlling undesirable reactions. Changing
our ideas about who we are means changing the beliefs in which
selfhood is embedded. This section helps you understand how to
amplify and use self-observations, and even how to access the
sometimes nonconscious potential for emotional experiences that you
both fear and desire.
