(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)


Deep analysis of the process by which early pain & trauma become imprinted (based on Janov's Primal Therapy), leading to "neurosis," defense mechanisms, distorted self-views and various forms of pathological splitting. 

Analysis of mental distortion & personal distress ("mental illness") from Western psychological, Theravadan early-Buddhist & Law of One (Ra Material) perspectives. Classification without reification.

Formation of defense mechanisms & distorted self-image by way of psychological splitting & types of projection. Extended comments on the mechanism of projective identification in partnership, family, and group systems; integration with 7-chakra & Ra Material teaching on the self-healing cycle.
