WHAT IS PSYCHOSYNTHESIS? ASSAGIOLI PRESENTS, IN HIS OWN WORDS, THE VISION OF WHAT WE MAY BE
This is an audio of a brief talk by Roberto Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis.
This insightful lecture, presented at the Futurology Biennial in Crans, Switzerland, explores the foundations of psychosynthesis. It delves into Assagioli's pioneering approach to psychology, which harmonizes Eastern spiritual practices and Western psychological techniques to foster comprehensive personal development.
Psychosynthesis is not merely a therapeutic method; it's a unique pathway to holistic growth, accentuating the integration of every aspect of the personality with spiritual dimensions.
Dr. Assagioli introduces us to the concept of the superconscious—a central element of Psychosynthesis that distinguishes it from traditional psychoanalysis. While acknowledging the primitive drives of the lower unconscious, similar to Freud's theories,
Psychosynthesis uniquely explores the higher unconscious or superconscious. This realm is the source of evolved human impulses such as altruistic love, creative inspiration, and the quest for meaning—offering a promising, forward-looking dimension to personal development.
This lecture highlights how Psychosynthesis addresses the 'repression of the sublime,' encouraging individuals to realize their highest potential and not just manage their basic instincts.
Assagioli's work presents an enlightening view on harnessing the superconscious not only to heal but to transcend, manifesting one’s true essence in everyday life.
