Identity Confluence

A basic source of emotional pain is what I call "Identity Confluence" or "Identity blending". We start out in life with undifferentiated identities. Gradually on we learn to differentiate between ourselves, our mother and our father. Most of the time, at one or more level we remain undifferentiated.

When we form bonding relationships later on in life, we again create an "identity confluence" on an unconscious level and the "other" becomes "I". Consciously we can make the differentiation but consciously we have a hard time. When the "other" evokes childhood anger or another emotion, that emotion gets directed back on the self at a deeper level because the "other" is not differentiated from the self. These "knots" can be fully untied through deep primal work.

The Actual Organism

The actual organism goes beyond the body to include the surroundings and the corresponding energy fields, both local and non-local. This "entity" extend even further to include other organism-environmental fields which eventually includes the "all-everything" as the one evolving manifested organism. No organism is separate from this. It ultimately is this. Therefore let the organism self-regulate you.
