Archetypes within a person’s personality

The main technique: DIALOGUE WITH VOICES

The method was invented by the Stones, a married couple. It was brought to Russia and Ukraine and taught with great success by Sergei Strekalov – Doctor of Psychology, founder of the public movement “Whole World” and of the school “Playing with Spaces”. Later, on the basis of this method, S. Strekalov developed his own course, “Dialogue with the Gods”.

The method is used as a remedy for:

• inner conflict
• obsessive inner dialogue
• chronic tiredness, apathy and depressive states

As a technique for:

• getting out of “dead-end situations”
• finding a constructive solution
• exploring your deep needs
• discovering new resources (energies and meanings)

The method rests on a theory-observation that inside a personality (inside a person) there is a whole team of subpersonalities, or an inner family. And what we call the inner dialogue is the attempts of the subpersonalities of the inner world to agree among themselves on what “will be good” for their master, the personality. A person’s subpersonalities form as
separate energy circuits under the pressure of circumstances and at different times. And so the subpersonalities have different ages, habits, behaviour, voices and a different understanding of what is “good” and “bad”. These different “goods” inside a person try to come to an agreement.

Different people, and at different times of their lives, manage this with varying degrees of success. The ability to integrate the polar subpersonalities of your world at any given moment of your life determines where a person stands on the scale of “enlightenment / being in a muddle”.
In certain transitional, critical periods of life an outside focus is needed, that is, a person outside the situation – a psychologist, a coach. To step beyond your limits – to shift, to develop – you need someone outside the borders of your system; this creates distance, for seeing, for a run-up and for movement. It makes it possible to get out of your own limitations, to rise above the situation (instead of being “under” it),
to embrace your true values from a distance and see your next step.

The overall effect of the process: energy, completeness and wholeness, lightness, inner silence, a state of self-worth and power.

Working with TAROT cards:
The Tarot Arcana are the most ancient tool for exploring transitional stages of development.
If this system did not work, it would not have survived to our day.
The “Tarot” deck, tested by time, is a tool that speeds up spiritual evolution and clarifies the true position of the “I” on the map of your fate.
Turning to the Tarot lets you grasp the meaning of the lessons of the events of your life and live towards your future, turn the past from an enemy into an ally, understand your true desires and make decisions relying on the objectivity of your soul.

The renewed interest in this system among people engaged in their personal and spiritual development allows them to lean, on their path, on the symbols, signs and support of the world.

Seeing your own trajectory of development, in this light, gains objectivity:
“… It is not that I think about myself, risking falling into error… but that I ask the universe to confirm my vision of myself, and from this I gain the true, real picture of the Path…”
