Exercise 5: Identifying Images

<– Back to IMG work program

Consider the recurring patterns of behavior identified in your daily review. Investigate your deepest motivations for behaving the way you did (and still do) in these circumstances. Listen to all your inner voices to try to identify your various, overlapping motivations.

If you prefer, choose a guilt that you feel and discover the image (rooted belief) behind it. Guilt is an attempt to defend ourselves by rejecting what we are feeling. Meditate, visualizing your Higher Self, your Positive Ego (which does the work) and your Inner Child. Listen to the voices of each of these aspects of yourself regarding what you are feeling, in a meditation of the three voices: all three are looking at an emotionally charged scene from your childhood. Notice the feelings that emerge and the conclusions that each of these three parts of you tries to lead you to.

Whenever circumstances in your life and your responses to them cause discomfort and dissatisfaction, the reasons behind these feelings and attitudes stem from immature and erroneous conclusions (Images) formed from painful situations that probably occurred in your childhood.

Put these erroneous conclusions into concise words. Write down the sentences formed so that they are not forgotten. Then you can begin to reflect on how these erroneous conclusions originated and how they have influenced your life.
