THE SUPEREGO FREE
The sun from the windows warmed your body and the music was fun and it was so great to be free and alive and…. And why not?! It was delicious and free and it just FELT GOOD! Let’s say as a four-year-old child you danced naked in the living room with all the windows open. Painful Ways The Superego Can Affect Your Life It just becomes the voice of so-called “right” and “wrong” within us and for many of us, it never gets questioned! We are no longer fully conscious of where this false god voice is coming from. This false god becomes our inner “Bible” or “manual” about what is necessary to do or not do to insure our survival.Īs the superego is born within us and grows, it fades into the background, just below our conscious awareness. We NEEDED to fit in, and the only set of rules we knew as “right” and “wrong” came from our caregivers.Īnd so this "inner parent" part of our psyche is formed as a collection of the voices/rules from those authority figures in whose care we found ourselves. We weren’t able to tell if what they were judging as “bad”īecause we depended on our caregivers for ALL of our security – food, water, shelter, human connection – we didn’t have the luxury of questioning their rules. We weren’t mature enough to discriminate about our caregivers’ When we were children and received negative feedback about our behavior
Usually the attitudes about “good and evil” or “right and wrong” that our parents passed on to us were passed down from THEIR parents’ unhealed wounds and what they were told not to do. We all have lessons to learn and wounds to heal or we wouldn’t be here! Every Soul you know came here to grow in some way. Do ANYTHING that our caregivers didn’t want us to do because it rocked their boat and triggered THEIR superego voice: “No, don’t do that! That’s bad!”.Express a strong (or in some cases ANY) opinion.Reach for something we wanted that was beyond the status quo of those around us.Assert ourselves, even when we did it in healthy ways.Take care of ourselves by making a choice that was threatening to the mindset of a caregiver.It is the voice that many of us originally heard as children from caregivers when we attempted to: This negative feedback became internalized into the voice of the false god. Even if our parents’ had the best of intentions for us in their parenting, our inner voice can still embody a confining and negative perspective.Īs this part of our psyche is formed during childhood and continues on into adolescence and adulthood, this false god becomes a source of limiting beliefs designed to keep us fitting in and staying “safe.”īelow are some examples of situations that could have evoked negative feedback from our parents when we were children. This includes all of the unresolved wounds from our parents and caregivers – their ideas about what was wrong, no matter how true or absurd that was. It is a composite of all the voices you heard as a child about what was and was not okay to do. The superego is your internalized “parent” voice. However, for most of us as adults, it is NOT serving our higher purpose, and it is NOT the wise voice of truth or God that it can fool us into thinking it is.īreaking free of this false god requires that we become conscious of it. Initially it may have been helpful for us in some ways when we were children. We need to bring awareness to this part of our psyche so that it isn’t running the show. It is shocking to realize that we may be unconsciously held back by this false god – and the fear it uses to control us – more than any other thing! It is my feeling that the inner conflict between the voice of the superego and our true heart’s desire is the source of all the variations of neurosis we human beings experience. We can be fooled into thinking that this voice is coming from God / Creator, but it is actually a voice we've made into a false god. Do you know how much of your life force and freedom to move forward is being subconsciously squelched by an internalized "parent"?
