Subconscious Healing and Development Potentials

[StripedGiraffe]

Perhaps some of you can shed some light on this question.

When we heal the wounded child aspect of ourselves who is selfish and narcissistic, who is basically SD stage red, can that aspect of ourselves evolve up the spiral? In other words, can we help specific parts of ourselves evolve their individual psychology? Or is it more about healing the fractures within our consciousness that caused these aspects to become individuated in the first place? Or is this relatively primitive selfishness inherent to the subconscious mind and something we must learn to live with? 

Would love to hear your thoughts.

From what I've experienced there are many ways in which you can go about healing yourself. 

One would be realizing you were never a child, all that is a story of the ego-mind. And so you can heal yourself right now at this instant moment. This takes tremendous conscious willpower and you'll have to constantly keep it in mind, and correcting yourself when you go off your desired path towards healing. 

And the other would be to go back in time, identifying the problems at their core, figure out where and why they arose, and why they stuck around. This is more in alignment with using a system such as Integral Theory or Spiral Dynamics, if you feel like mapping it out, then this would maybe be the preferred method. 

Or you could take @Nahm 's thought-full approach. You'll have to find what works best for you. 

And nice seeing you here on the forum again

For me, healing happens by containing Consciousness. The light inside of us begins to dissolve the threads of our suffering. I have realized how life has shaped this personality, deeply in ways I never knew before. When you embrace the inner light, and allow this polishing of your personality, you realize yourself as absolute love. I see my young self with joy now. It feels integrating.

I don't know if this helps, but thank you for the question.

One intends to be aware of behaviors & actions, and thus thought & feeling. The thinking mind will always veil itself with the story of itself. Concepts, angles, ever-shifting smoke & mirrors to hide a shapeshifter.

Consciousness is neither ours, fractured, causal, nor aspects individuated. Consciousness is already healing.

First directly experience the subconscious mind, then if desired, if possible, assess & attribute. 

In presence alone, ‘three things can not remain hidden for long’.

I wouldn't look at it this way at all.

Think about it more like distortion.

You already are unconditionally loving, generous, compassionate and all those things we seek doing spiritual work. That's who you are.

But there's some distortions to actualizing that for most people. Distortions that comes from trauma, societal programming etc.

And ultimately, it's just a game God is playing with itself.

So no, you don't have to live with inherent selfishness because you are not inherently selfish. No one is inherently selfish.

Our goal is to see that and actualize it.
