Summary of Robert A. Johnson's Inner Work - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The unconscious is present in our lives constantly. It works alongside the conscious mind and takes over the controls of the automobile while the conscious mind is focused on something else. It stops us at the red lights, starts us at the green lights, and keeps us within the law until the conscious mind comes back to the present. #2 The unconscious is a realm of unseen energies, forces, and forms of intelligence that live within us.
It is a much larger universe than we realize, and it has a complete life of its own that runs parallel to the ordinary life we live day to day. #3 We are all much more than the I of whom we are aware. Our conscious minds can only focus on a limited sector of our total being at any given time. We must learn how to go to the unconscious and become receptive to its messages. #4 The unconscious manifests itself through a language of symbols.
It is not only in our involuntary or compulsive behavior that we can see the unconscious. It has two natural pathways for bridging the gap and speaking to the conscious mind: dreams and the imagination.
