A WRONG RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REAL AND THE IDEAL COMES FROM
TWO SOURCES: NATURE AND NURTURE.
WE ARE ALL BORN WITH THE SINFUL NATURE. WE WISH TO BE LIKE GOD.
WE HAVE LOFTY VIEW OF THE IDEAL SELF! WE ARE NURTURED BY
IMPERFECT PEOPLE. WE INTERNALIZE OUR PARENTS CRITICAL NATURES INTO A
SELF-EVALUATING SYSTEM THAT WE CALL OUR CONSCIENCE, IT SPEAKS TO US IN
THE SAME WAY OUR PARENTS DID...LOVING AND ACCEPTING OR HARSH
AND CRITICAL. PROCESS AND VALUE NEGATIVE FEELINGS, ACCEPT
BADNESS AND WEAKNESS FROM EVERYONE.
WE ALL GOOD AND BAD. WE NEED TO HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
REALITY, BEING REAL, NOT IDEAL. REFUSE TO DISCARD OTHERS, WHEN THEY
ARE NOT PERFECT. ACCEPT FAILURES. FORGIVENESS. CANCEL THE DEBT. IT
CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CONFESS , FAULTS, SINS, IMPERFECTIONS.
PRAY-GOD WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH OF ONES GOODNESS AND BADNESS.
COVERING UP HATRED AND GRIEF , THEY COME OUT IN ALL SORTS
OF OTHER WAYS, PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS , DYSFUNCTION, ADDICATIONS.
WE NEED TO COMBINATION OF GRACE AND TRUTH AS DEMONSTRATED BY JESUS.
