Consciousness Commitment
May/2008/ Filed in: Media
Consciousness is the meta level to existence. You make your choices and take action based on the core principles of existence. In this you are then grounded in what is real in life.
Commitment to living core principles means you are eating away at the unconsciousness that you and most people live at.
You know what you are doing, and you do what you know.
You are living life consciously.
You become aware of things as they are.

Male Seduction Of Females As A Kind Of Inverse Commitment
As a dreamwork psychologist and psychotherapist it has been my lot to work with all sorts of people. It was not my job, of course to understand them, but to help them understand themselves and do something responsible about their personalities. Thus I tried to combine my values with their needs, not alway a happy thing to do.
A significant number of people could fit this story’s prototype but I include only a few case histories here.
I had a male client once, around thirty-five who had several sessions with me once a week. I kept trying to find out what his problem was and why he came to me. We got into talking about his feeling lack of fulfillment in his sexual life. He simply could not find the right woman for him or hold onto her.
As part of his sharing he told me that his method for seducing women was to take them to dances and their indirectly ask them about their fathers. He said he could tell from how they responded whether he could seduce them that night or not.
I thought we had enough sessions under the belt that he would trust me if I challenged him, so I asked him on what basis he felt it right to seduce women like this by manipulating them?
He got angry and that was the last session we ever had. He lacked commitment to work on his real self. He wanted his problem solved but he had not committed to changing himself as the realistic price to pay for healing himself and becoming a successful relator.
In a Dark Side way he was committed, or compulsive, about seducing women, but he was not consciously committed to a value, because he would not change his destructive pattern, destructive to himself and to at least some women.
