“Self is the archetypal center of our psyche, the Archetype of Inner Order that brings peace and harmony to our parts congregating around it. Self is also the archetypal field of our heart, radiating intuitive wisdom and unconditional love. And above all, Self is the angelic aspect of our psyche, calling us to the highest manifestation of our individuated wholeness.”

“There are instances in IFS practice when Self is not easily accessible in the client’s system. In such instances, initiating Self-Like resources can invite higher Self Energy and serve as a catalyst to the natural emergence of Self.”

“In dealing with every person one should know where to place himself with regard to that person, should be sure of the reaction the presence of the other inspires in him – dislike or attraction, dominion or subjugation, discipleship or mastery, performance as actor or as spectator – and on the basis of these and their counterreactions one should then establish the rules of the game to be applied in their play, the moves and counter-moves to be made. But for all this, even before he starts observing the others, one should know well who he is himself. Knowledge of one’s fellow has this special aspect: it passes necessarily through knowledge of oneself; and this is precisely what Palomar is lacking. Not only knowledge is needed, but also comprehension, agreement with one’s own means and ends and impulses, which is like saying the possibility of exercising a mastery over one’s own inclinations and actions that will control them and direct them but not coerce them or stifle them. The people he admires for the rightness and naturalness of their every word and every action are not only at peace with the universe but, first of all, at peace with themselves. Palomar, who does not love himself, has always taken care not to encounter himself face to face; this is why he preferred to take refuge among the galaxies; now he understands that he should have begun by finding an inner peace. The universe can perhaps go tranquilly about its business; he surely cannot.”

“Great morning! I have some amazing “I am” affirmations that I affirm each day for those I love and for me like…I am who God says I am or I am financially blessed and abundantly supplied…real nice and cute but under all the brilliant “I am’s” I’m also this to the enemy! “I am the memory that won’t decay, the glitter that won’t wash off, the bone lodged in the throat of every enemy who dared to swallow me whole as well as the bone in the throat of every lie! I am the thorn they thought was a petal, and the bone they can’t cough up. I am the brilliance they can’t dim, the name that won’t go silent. I don’t haunt—I highlight. I’m the divine interruption in their narrative, the ache they can’t explain. I am the glitter in their regret, and the prophecy they underestimated. And it is so! Let’s GO!”
