Human Transformation

This work is a narrative unraveling of a process of human transformation that interrupts the psyche''s propensity for creating the conditions for suffering. The self privileging of ego consciousness is posited as the origin of suffering. Relief from suffering is accomplished by bringing forward the content of the unconscious. The condition that allows the content of the unconscious to come forward is disrupting the boundary separating consciousness and the unconscious. As the boundary fails and ego consciousness is dethroned, unforeseen yet yearned for knowledge becomes available to consciousness thereby initiating the possibility for transformation. Implicit in this work are assumptions of self-motivation and self-organization that configure a theory of autopoiesis or self-making.
Rendered from a myriad of fields including psychotherapeutic intervention, psychologically assessed business management practices, elite athletic performance and high risk professions this work offers a participatory methodological approach for those wishing to engage in growth and transformation and the disruption of human suffering.
