Hal Stone passed away last night! Wonderful to listen to this in his memory.

This is definitely the most interesting and the most important Mishlove interview I have seen in my life. Thank you so much!

VERY important work! Enormously important.

I have immensely profited from Hal & Sidra Stone's book 'Embracing Our Selves' during the time of my own psychotherapy back in the 1990s, and for drafting my own approach to Inner Child Recovery & Healing, and have reviewed the book in my review sampler 'The New Paradigm in Consciousness, Healing & Spirituality (2014)'. This interview is very important and shows me that, in just 9 minutes, Hal Stone is able to pinpoint the most important issues around our inner selves, and positively, about building our inner team. Thanks so much for this interview.

Until listening to this particular interview, I thought I had a handle on, well, my 'self'. Since I tend to pay attention to those traits I most treasure in others, I find myself cringing a bit while pondering the opposite. My take on 'awful' personality types has been rather shallow: I just figure I've been those (negative) things in other lives. A broad example I'll use arises from those who exhibit extreme signs of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Yikes. To think my disowned self is an aggressively ignorant harpie who's a climate change denier, racist and, hell, probably a flat-earther is jarring to say the least. No sense in a door half opened, though. Now I'm curious about more of Stone's work and therapies to at least attempt integration.

“Life brings you whatever you disown.”

That is an interesting answer to "who am I?": awareness, experiences and ego. I wonder though, if this next level of awareness of this whole process makes life so much more complicated... sometimes the amount of knowledge is not directly proportional to the happiness level I would say.

@Life Matter I find myself stuck in overanalyzing and overcomplicating things. Letting go in a way sometimes is a release. And focus on simplicity to overcome fears and limitations as a general concept very attractive way to keep moving forward in life. So, I guess that, when the conscious knowledge becomes subconscious, and I integrate those inner parts more naturally in my being, as the tools to handle them. I could then 'lay back' a bit more allowing this process to continue with a proper foundation and more smoothly. The middle ground tends to be the right answer 😊

Beautiful.

Very true! His book is great

In modern day we have Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Abraham Hicks and ACIM saying all the same things. And Don Miguel Ruiz, Neale Donald Walsch etc.

great information and great questions! thank you

"It's like a car being driven by 20 different people." Yup, and very hard to arrive at a nourishing, and healthy destination.

wisdom, wisdom, wisdom

The good ones. 🙋

Jeffrey mentioning Mother Teresa is interesting: what's come to light about her after this interview definitely points to a disowned self - one that ended up being painful for others to experience. This is one of those TA conversations that could have gone on much longer. Thanks, Jeffrey and rest in peace, Dr. Stone

Now this is an intelligent person

This is good.

wheres the rest of this

It means it is hard to do. When you do it (think opposing thoughts, embrace different selves), you break a sweat.

His idea of god loving sweat where his sweat sounds like a neurotic conflict between the person who likes children and the one who does not does not sound very useful to me. Rather than sweating and this being admired by God, if we have a conflict does it not make sense to integrate these selves? I thought that was the aim of the chair work/voice dialogue. Ie get a conversation going, round off the rough edges, become a more rounded more balanced person? Likewise a person who projects their bad self into the idea of the devil and likes the idea of being a good person is neurotic. When you bring God into this situation it seems to be allowable to be neurotic and this is loveable. Psychodynamically though these things are often the basis of unhappiness either for yourself or for those around you. Surely the idea here is to attempt to move beyond these limiting behaviours? God loves sweat??

I'm think the word 'sweat' is a metaphor for expending the energy necessary to integrate these opposites.
