Title: INTELLIGENCE DE SOI Intelligence of Self
1INTELLIGENCE DE SOI(Intelligence of Self)
2An approach
- in the framework of Jungian thinking
- closely related to Voice Dialogue
- integrating the typological approach
- and a few other methods
3Outline
- The laws of the psyche a formalization
- The elements of the psyche
- the adaptation strategies
- the cognitive processes
- description
- dynamic
- interactions between strategies and processes
- Practice
4THE LAWS OF THE PSYCHE
5The starting point
- To exist, one must differentiate oneself
- Energy comes from the difference in polarity
6The entropic lawsor the natural slope
7Law of polarization
- One does not start from both sides at the same
time - One pole becomes the "favorite"
8Law of inflation
- The pole that functions wells takes up more and
more room - The automatic pilot
9Law of projection
- The dominant pole is righteous
- It judges the opposite pole
10The neguentropic principles conscious
development
11Naming
- Identifying the differences
- To go from "pre" to "trans"
12De-identifying or unhooking
- Distancing oneself from the automatic pilot
- Which no longer takes itself for the ego
13Reclaiming
- Withdrawal from the projection
- The speck and the beam!
- End of judgments
14THE ELEMENTS OF THE PSYCHE
15The adaptation strategies
16- The way we adapt to the demands of the
environment - Develop very early
- Many of them!
- A few typical examples
17The inner child
- The inner child is the most vulnerable part of
oneself, the most intimate and the most
sensitive. It is very close to the soul. It needs
an environment in which it feels safe so that it
can manifest itself. - Without an inner child, there is no spiritual
life, no intimate relationship with others
18The protector
- The protector puts itself in place to protect the
child. It is the armor that protects it from
difficulties and defends it against wounds. It
knows the rules of the social game and allows the
person to adopt behaviors appropriate to the
environment. - Without the protector, the child is quickly
crushed.
19The enactor of rules
- The enactor of rules, often composed of several
Selves, is the inner parliament that states the
laws and rules to be followed. It points out good
and evil, the principles that govern moral life.
It can have different connotations according to
whether it bears the rules of Thinking or
Feeling. - Without the enactor, there is no life possible in
society.
20The perfectionist
- The perfectionist has very strict success
criteria. Whoever has said thats enough is
already dead could be one of its mottos. It
drives us to always do better and to push back
the limits. - Without the perfectionist there is no major
success, in art, science or any other field.
21The critic
- It is the policeman who blows the whistle for
violations of the law. The critic denounces
breaches, faults, imperfections or inadequacies.
It is the enforcer for the enactor of rules. - Without the cricket perched on Pinocchios
shoulder, there is no conscience.
22The Patriarch/The Matriarch
- These are the culturally inherited voices that
indicate mens and womens social roles - the patriarch is the male authority figure that
gives women their place in society, - the matriarch is the female authority figure
that gives men their place in society. - Without them, the social structure would lack
stability.
23The caregiver
- The one that tries to be a good parent, who takes
care of its children - and also the inner child.
The caregiver tends to spontaneously help others,
even if they are no longer children, with the
same kindness. - Without the caregiver, children could not or
barely survive charitable organizations would
undoubtedly not exist.
24The worker
- The worker has a sense of responsibility and of
tasks to be accomplished. It leads to being a
good professional who can be counted on. - Without the worker, academic or professional
success is difficult.
25The cognitive processes
26The 8 processes
- The psyches functioning modes
- The innate part (the "hardware")
27Extraverted Sensing (Se)
- Capacity to immerse oneself in the present and
experience the environment through all the
senses. - Learns through experimentation, finds practical
solutions, exercises authority by being the
example. - How?
- Trouble-shooting theres a solution to
everything - Dionysus
28Introverted Sensing (Si)
- Capacity to index experiences and to compare them
to what has already been experienced. - Follows tested methods, starts with what exists
in order to improve it hierarchical authority. - What?
- Being an expert theres a solution to everything
- Hephaistos
29Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
- Capacity to make a continuous flow of new ideas
spring up that are manifested in any situation. - Learns through exchange, sees problems in
another way, directs through the vigor of new
ideas. - Why not?
- Traveling the world is new every morning
- Hermes
30Introverted Intuition (Ni)
- Capacity to perceive the underlying links between
elements and synthesize them in a long-term
vision. - Learns through reading, a strategist, guides by
the clarity of the long-term vision. - Where is it going?
- Predicting the future is already here
- Apollo
31Extraverted Thinking (Te)
- Capacity to organize and structure the
environment in a logical and orderly way. - Learns methodically, decides quickly, readily
assumes authority. - Forward!
- Organizing heres the direction
- Zeus
32Introverted Thinking (Ti)
- Capacity to look for the rational explanation of
everything through constant questioning. - Critically analyzes, looks for explanatory
principles, directs through the clarity of the
conception. - Why?
- Questioning cogito ergo sum
- Prometheus
33Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
- Capacity to be in harmony with socially shared
values. - Learns in interaction with others, pays attention
to their needs, carries others along through the
strength of his/her values. - Together
- Harmonizing its for your own good
- Hera
34Introverted Feeling (Fi)
- Capacity to create harmony based on deeply felt
personal values. - Looks for the meaning of what he/she is taught,
discerns according to ethics, functions through
influence. - Who?
- Influencing what is the meaning?
- Hestia
35Dynamic
- The 8 functions combine in a certain order to
form types - One generally uses only the first 4 functions of
each type - The order of the functions is expressed through
an evolution throughout life
36Pole opposite the auxiliary Opposite
orientation Adulthood
- First
- Chronology
- Preference
- Competency
Pole opposite the dominant Opposite
orientation Mid-life Source of difficulties and
growth potential
- Dominant balance
- Nature of function
- Orientation
- Adolescence
37Interactions between strategies and cognitive
processes
38- Processes and strategies interact
- Therefore
- a strategy can be identified with a process cf.
description above - the same strategy can have different versions
depending on the processes available - processes can be combined to give rise to the
Automatic Pilot
39Variations of the innovation strategy
40An automatic pilot

41PRACTICE
42A few ways to practice
- An aid for awareness-raising of functioning
- A base map
- A compass for development
- A way to access the zone of opposite polarities
- An aid for Bonding Patterns
