The Enemy You Invent Is the Shadow You Ignore (The Psychology of "the Enemy")

Описание: From Homo sapiens (“rational human”)
To Homo faber (“tool-making human”)
To Homo hostilis (“the hostile species” – “the enemy making animal”)
To, hopefully in the future, Homo amicus (“friendly human”)

Our immediate focus for this lesson is on step three.

Specifically, what is happening internally that encourages us to make enemies?

What is this enemy making process and what is it trying to achieve?

What do we gain by doing this?

…Who is homo hostilis?

Book Recommendation:
Faces of the Enemy, by Sam Keen https://amzn.to/4k684vg

Auto - self-directed
Biblio - books/library
Therapy - Healing
So, autobibliotherapy = self-directed healing via books

In this 3 hour playlist, I will summarise my library down to 15 book recommendations that will significantly impact the effectiveness and depth of your inner work journey.

Aims:
• To provide a full curriculum to complete 5+ years of scattered Inner Work in 1 focused year

• To introduce you to a wide and overlapping set of theories and modalities to approach your inner work from all angles, including:
unconscious and shadow work
height psychology
somatic therapy
personality development
Life coaching and plans/guide for the future
Philosophy (existentialism)
Anthropology (the study of human beings and their ancestors through time and space and in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture)
Transpersonal psychology and psychosynthesis
Inner critic and parts work
All with key books for each element to take the study further

• To address various interrelated aspects of yourself instead of isolating elements arbitrarily, and formulate a plan on how to do this inner work

• To increase your attention span so that you can sit down and read, leading to lower screen time
