This caught my 👁 because of its descriptiveness. And because each sign listed is an example of what in older psychological parlance we’d consider the characteristics of a ‘self-actualized’ person. Or, also in older parlance, a non-neurotic :>.
.
In modern psychological terms, through the IFS lens in particular, we would consider such an individual to be ‘Self-Led.’ Meaning, a well-integrated person with an abundance of Self-Energy, i.e. easy access to calm, compassion, clarity, curiosity, courage, confidence, creatvity, and connectedness. As well as presence, perspective, playfulness, patience, and persistence.
.
When our young, vulnerable parts carrying the deepest wounds have been met by our infinitely whole, undamaged Self, unburdened and retrieved (brought into the now and integrated with Self)…and when our most hypervigilant protective parts unburden if necessary, update their roles and trust the Self to lead, more and more spacious Self-Energy becomes naturally available.
.
Then, our ‘shadow’ qualities (really just wounded exiled parts being kept safe largely by protector parts’ denial and projections onto others/the world) transmute into light, i.e. the qualities of Self.
.
My take anyway.
