Psychological Integration
What does it mean to be integrated? To be psychologically integrated means that you are whole not fragmented. To be complete and without limitation. Your mind is fragmented because it is competing with opposing ideals. The mind is disturbed because it cannot deal with reality as it is. Instead it creates the idealistic illusion of what it seeks. The mind creates its own prison of dogmatic and egocentric beliefs. Thus there is a lack of understanding. One cannot transcend the elements of a mind made up of fear and distrust. When fear and distrust are the basis for action then there can only be psychological and or physical violence to oneself or to others.
Integration is not something that we seek and acquire. Rather it is the byproduct of a mind that understands the workings of a conditioned consciousness. A consciousness that is reactionary. Reactions that are born out of our propensity to see reality through our prejudice, through our limited ability to observe without naming. When one names a feeling or a response one creates the duality of contradiction. Because we believe that we are separate from our feelings or responses, naming removes us psychologically from the fact of a mind that is reactionary. One must realize that a person is in fact the feeling and the response. There is in reality no separation between who you are and what you feel and respond to. And this is the essence of the activity of a fragmented mind. When one realizes in the moment that you are in fact the creator of what fragments then one may understand what it means to be integrated, whole and without the duality of observer and observed, thinker and thought, the one who causes censorship. When one becomes integrated then there is the realization that there is no "you" who feels or reacts.
