ore emotional disorders that inevitably come from a variety of unconscious causes.

THE SPIRITUAL UNCONSCIOUS -- According to Frankl and others, each person has yet another hidden function of the mind that requires more than the physical and emotional rewards that satisfy the lesser animals. As sentient creatures who know that we know, each of us yearns to understand who we are, where we are going, what we are worth and what shall happen to us. Each person needs a spiritual connection with the Creator, by whom we were apparently imprinted during our racial development

CRUCIAL CONCEPTS

Here are several major psychospiritual concepts you should understand to get the most from the study of psychospiritual values and ethics and a satisfying life, in order to end the neurotic mind games we play to defeat others and ourselves.

THE CREATURE-SELF -- This is our primitive homosapien self that combines the emotionally driven, instinctive aspects of personality that so many use without thinking about them, with the philosophical, self-aware aspects of life that make us fully human. At the deepest level of our souls, we combine the psychological unconscious and the spiritual unconscious into our psychospiritual selves. The creature-self, the homosapien entity, I - Myself Alone, has both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde traits that must be mastered for life to become satisfying.

NARCISSISTIC GREED -- Healers as far apart philosophically as Sigmund Freud and Jesus of Nazareth agreed that each and every person suffers from a major character flaw. It is this -- all persons are programmed by nature to relive the Greek legend of Narcissus who was so enamored with his own beauty and brilliance that he destroyed himself. Each child instinctively wants the biggest piece of the pie -- all adults yearn for power, prestige, pleasure and possessions in order to prove our worth, to flaunt our superiority before others. For example, India’s cast system is narcissism woven into the culture. We all protect ourselves, defend against the world, preserve our integrity, satisfy our appetites, venture into society and snare part of it as our own. We do this to win self-esteem and to become heroic. Nevertheless, our narcissistic ruthlessness must be civilized or we crash and burn spiritually.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL UNCONSCIOUS -- Each and every person has a hidden function within his or her mind into which painful events, selfish desires and greedy attitudes are concealed from awareness so they cannot trouble us. The unconscious is a secret vault in which we conceal much evidence that would convict us in the court of our own conscience -- if not always in a court of law. We may not see much direct evidence of our unconscious but it is seldom quiet for long. The unconscious influences our attitudes and activities with often unintended consequences and troubling results. We cannot ignore emotional disorders that inevitably come from a variety of unconscious causes.

Each person needs a spiritual connection with the Creator, by whom we were apparently imprinted during our racial development -- must relate to God through a psychospiritually sound life-style. Our ancestors called our universal yearning for a sense of purpose and permanence, for a home in the Cosmos, the ache for God.

HOMOSAPIEN RAGE -- Every person, whether young or old or male or female, has primitive fear hidden within the psychological unconscious that can flare into devastating aggression when we feel endangered or devalued. This homosapien angst is inherited from our primordial ancestors who were constantly fearful on the African savannah during their racial revolution. It is so common that some anthropologists call humans the killer apes. The Trench Coat Mafia boys of Columbine High School in Colorado were social outcasts many of the academic elite and athletic gifted students despised to bolster their own self-esteem. Even after the Columbine attack, before all the bodies were recovered, one student athlete cried out on television; The geeks were so different -- were such losers, that no one in our group would have anything to do with them. Why did they do this -- what made them hate us so? It simply isn’t true that Sticks and stones may break my bones but words shall never hurt me. Cruel gibes hurt terribly and always trigger resentment. His slain friends paid a terrible price for meeting their narcissistic needs at the expense of the alienated, for not understanding that for themselves to enjoy special prestige, they had to create losers to be despised in comparison.

THE ULTIMATE LIE -- The greatest pretense each human uses regularly in our self-serving attitudes, activities and relationships, is that I - Myself Alone, am a rational and objective being who makes the best possible choices for my family, company, community and nation. As Freud told a world which still doesn’t believe that psychologists and psychiatrists can see through their shams, that na?ve assumption is a total illusion. Every person to reach adulthood in the past million or so years grew up subjective. All humans have a hidden aspect to our minds that distorts reality enough to meet our personal needs first of all. We keep these dangerous yearnings hidden from ourselves in order to maintain a modicum of self-respect despite our narcissistic greed and homosapien rage.

Unfortunately, disruptions within our psychological and spiritual un
