One Body, Many Parts
When we think of ourselves we tend to think of our being as one because we have one body. However, within our psyche, we have many parts. We are not singular minded but in fact multifaceted, that’s right we all have multiple personalities. You may read this and think “No I’ve not”, but stick with me because to some degree we all do and it’s not a bad thing.
Throughout our life, at some point, most of us have experienced trauma “pain in isolation.’ – Gabor Maté. What this means is when we experienced a painful event or period that wasn’t integrated into our being trauma is created. Because this experience wasn’t witnessed and understood it became a vulnerable part in our inner world and is exiled to the unconscious mind. Due to the vulnerability of this part, the inner world creates what’s known as protectors, and these are what the outside world sees as your personality.
“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you wantto eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.”
-LAO TZU
Could our astrological birth chart be influencing our parts and could it be a matrix overlay?
Parts from this Reality and Beyond
When you think about your personality, you may notice that it has many different aspects and sides to it. If you close your eyes and get curious about these various aspects of yourself, you may see some have images and names associated with them. I’ll share a few of my own as an example, so in my inner world, I have a Zena warrior princess, an Ewok, a Witch, an Angel, a Dark Goddess, and a Cosmic ET. These are just a few, but each of these has served to protect vulnerable parts of my inner kingdom that felt, shame, guilt, sadness, and fear.
In IFS work it is believed that we are born with our parts which may explain blueprints like astrology and may also explain past lives and multidimensionality. I have seen these parts come through in sessions I’ve had with clients and within myself. It’s too early for me to say, but there is a theory that we die with our parts, so could they be fragmented from a previous life? Or if time is simultaneously happening at once do we pull these parts through different timelines. I’m exploring this more in my work and research, and trust I’ll write more about this in the future.
If all time is happening at once. We can create our future by aligning our parts.
Self Energy will Shift the World
Back to our parts, all aspects of our personality and parts have an extreme role and a non-extreme role. At the core of our inner world, we have the self which is curious, caring, courageous, confident, compassionate, creative, connected and has clarity. Imagine your inner world like the infinity symbol in the middle of the figure of eight is Self-energy and on one side of the figure is the conscious world (where the protectors live) and the other side is the unconscious world (where the vulnerable, wounded parts live).
When we interact with the external world in some situations, certain parts of our personality can become more extreme and triggered, if we haven’t done the internal work and integrated them. So for instance, if you have a strong warrior part, you may get easily triggered by the injustices in the world. Which is ok as its right to feel angry about the atrocities in this world. However, if you can do the inner work you can use this warrior part in a collision with your self-energy. Rather than projecting anger, you can begin to create inspired action, which is what is needed if we are going to make changes on this planet. The forces that are currently running this world feed off fear energy and what they can not feed off is self-energy.
Is the zero point creation field in-between the conscious and unconscious mind?
We may also consider the theory of oneness and collective energy. We need to make the shift to self-energy running our internal world to make a shift in the external world. If we are one consciousness expressing itself in various personalities and we have extreme parts, then we are adding to that collective energy. So, for instance, if we have a part that hates the opposite sex due to its own experiences and lack of integration, that part is adding to the collective energy of divide and conquer. Or if we have a part that spiritual bypasses we are adding to the energy of avoidance. I’m not judging these parts I’ve had both of these myself, and as someone who loves humanity, I believe it is our job to do our inner work so we can help dismantle some of the collective programmings that is in place.
So lets dig a little deeper what happens when multi parts are present. I’m going to use the example of heartbreak. When we are heartbroken, we will often feel many parts and protectors come to the surface. Some may want to move straight on to the next person, others may go back to an ex for comfort, some might eat, take drugs, drink, become obsessed with the gym and eternal appearance or throw ourselves into work.
There are many ways the internal system will work to protect and smooth a broken heart. Some of these may help you get through a challenging time, but at some point, your soul’s wounding is going to call you home and ask you to heal. When we feel betrayal and abandonment our soul and heart can feel lost and shattered. This is the point where you can become your own saviour and your own inner alchemist. You can turn this pain into your power, and if you commit to the most significant project you’ll ever have YOU, this may be your greatest gift.
This could be any difficult situation in life; I’m using heartbreak as an example, but it could be the loss of a job, financial ruin or the loss of a loved one. My point is you have the power to change your life for the better.
Here are ways that you can begin to inner-stand your inner kingdom.
1. Awareness; Start to begin to notice when your personality shifts. What triggers this part? Whats its reactions? What does it want you the inner-stand or know?
2. Map your inner world. Once you start to become more aware of your inner world and your different parts, map them out. I have an exercise to help you with this.
3. Now that you are more aware of your parts and you have externalised then, start to go inwards and get curious about their role within your inner world. If you click the FREE resources at the top of the page you can assess a FREE meditation, I have recorded.
4. Get into the role of your part and write from them don’t over think it just let them express what they need to on paper through automatic writing and drawing. When you have finished making sure that part knows your age and what year it is.
5. Finally, don’t judge them love them. Care for them as you would a child, embrace them as you would a lover and thank them for being part of you.
