The invention of self
July 20, 2016
Bruner and Weisser talk about how the mind is always working on re-creating the self, throughout our
lives. Our self is based on how we see the world and our agency in this world is linked to our self-
invention. Self-invention naturally comes from arranging certain events in our memory to trying to
making sense of the past memories to the current present.
Couples in Conflict & The Unconscious Contract~~
When we meet our partners, we make an unconscious contract to help each other resolve emotional
injuries of the past; we pick or hire the perfect person to trigger this stored painful memory of our
past. It is for this exact reason we have come together.
Relationships are not a problem to be solved but an adventure to be embraced. Conflict is a gift to
be unpacked, to embrace; an opportunity to grow, resolve and mature. Conflict can not be resolved
at the level with which it was created. We hire the person in our life who is most compatible to help
us resolve what is unresolved from our childhood.
Our relationship lives in the space between us and it is sacred. This becomes the playground for our
children. When there are only two options, take the third option.

Keep the space between you safe and sacred. Honour the space between you, by visiting the other
by crossing the bridge. Cross the bridge with an open mind to learn, with curiosity and compassion,
leave behind your hurt and trauma. The Invention of Self: Essay Assignment.
Crossing the bridge is becoming completely present with your partner, listening without interruption,
defensiveness or judgement, holding an unconditional space for your partner to share.
"Beyond right thinking and Beyond wrong thinking there is a field, I will meet you there" ~ Rumi
That is the third option!
Seven principles for conscious relationships ::
1. The relationship lives in the space between us.
2. The emotional charged part of your partner is the child in them trying to tell their story; allow each
other to tell that story by crossing the bridge.
3. We are energy that can be positive and negative, be aware of this energy by not making the
space toxic.
4. When our partners exhibits bewildering behaviour, it is a cry for help from the child within them,
the behaviour is a protection, get to know each other's cry for help .
5. The stretching principle is based on the idea that every frustration in the relationship is a gift to be
unpacked. Thank your partner for this opportunity to grow.
6. Release joy into the relationship. Play, joy and fun are all essential agreedients for connection and
repairing any disconnection in the relationship, it is also important to direct our passion into the
relationship otherwise these passion will be redirected outside the relationship and we will begin to
feel the relationship is no longer working.
7. Create a compelling dream together as a couple. Define the relationship, be specfic about goals
and plans short term and long term. When we are specific we direct enegry towards attracting and
achieving our dreams and goals.
