Browsing through the library rather aimlessly awhile back, I chanced upon a short little volume titled, "The Elements of Psychosynthesis," by Will Parfitt. I first heard about Psychosynthesis more than 30 years ago, but have never looked very deeply into it, so I thought maybe it was time I had. Chapter 1 opens with this definition: "Psychosynthesis is a comprehensive approach to self-realization and the development of human potential." Well, that's just fine, I thought: that's exactly what my life is about, or at least aims to be about. Several pages later we find the following notion:
"We can know what we want, and have an idea of where we are going in life, but once we start moving in that direction we find there are all kinds of blocks that stop us. Psychosynthesis says these blocks are our helpers. Through looking at them and dealing with them, we can move more effectively in the direction in which we desire to go. The blocks are the very energy of our being, so the more we deal with the blocks the more we are moving towards our true being, rather than cutting off from ourselves and not allowing our potential to grow and blossom."
So the next time we confront those infernal blocks, perhaps we will remember this and, instead of cursing them, we will celebrate their very existence. Ya think so?
