The first character type in order - is a
schizoid one (fig.4), its laid down earlier than others. Schizoid means
split and schizophrenia means literally splitting the mind. As you see the name
directly points to the nature of processes happening inside the person. Traumas
that constitute this type of character may vary greatly, but they meet in one:
the threat to the childs life.
During the pregnancy period it might have been
a threat of abortion, if one of parents or relatives didnt want the child to
appear to the daylight. From one of them or from all of them came anger, spite
and energies of complete aversion of an infant. A child in a womb is pretty
good in understanding what happens around and, to preserve his life, breaks his
energetic field into pieces. It begins to look like a bottom of a lake during
the vast drought. That is blocking lines go between his organs and limbs so as
to interrupt a direct connection between them. In this state he gives less
signs of life, or say better, less life impulses, conceals himself and becomes
forgotten, or they discontionue to treat him as a
risk for their well-being anymore which is what he needs, in fact. This way he
preserves his own life via splitting himself.
Later on, having become an adult, he nurtures
the most hostile feelings toward this parent, doesnt bear him and those
relatives who didnt want him. And of course his is owned by strong hostile
feelings to the mother, who is chilly, hating, rejecting, and offensive at his
idea. If the mother was a subject to a threat or experienced a serious trauma
during the pregnancy, this can also be the cause of laying down the foundation
of a schizoid character type.
But the most important origin for forming this
type of character is the childbirth at my view. The womb passage is being
closed while the womb is beginning to reduce with a force of forty kilograms.
Its clear these feelings are not the most pleasant ones to be experienced in
life. Thats why I have an impression created that most people have rudiments
of schizoid character type, whereas some of them fully develop this character
in them.
The next type of trauma which lays down a
foundation of this character type - is emotional removal of the mother
from the child caused by the pain and tiredness after the childbirth. This may
also be aided by the physical removal of mother which has been so popular in
Russian maternity hospitals till recently. The child is left one by one with
huge and unknown world and feels himself unparented.
Its clear that he views this situation as directly threatening his life and
breaks up his field in order to survive too. No need to state herein about the
sickness symptoms and different kinds of operations made on the baby
immediately after birth.
Here I want to warn you as a parent not to feel
any guilt for yourself. It happened what has happened. Remember, a child takes
part in the formation of this experience and those traumas he lives through.
Since a fear, a great fear about his life is
settled down in a baby, he compensates it by self-control breeding up to an
adult. In no way you can tell looking at schizoid that hes afraid of
something, but nevertheless its true. He continuously experiences the
fear/fears, plenty of which are self-unreported.
Schizoid has a great fear living within him,
holding that he has no right for existence and a horror of being destroyed.
During the conversations with his friends or at the receptions with a
psychotherapist hell always be complaining about the presence of fears,
anxiety and alarm. The images that might visit him frequently contain witches,
death and so on. He has the feeling of safety absent, and experiences himself
isolated and as alien everywhere. All this taken together engenders an enormous
feeling of anger in him which he pours out in fits of fury and rage from time
to time.
Ill be showing the defense systems of every
character separately because they are very interesting and are one of those
signs used to determine the particular type of character a person belongs to.
Schizoid has three kinds of defenses.
First defense - is Departure or in vulgar
language flying away. This defense can be most obviously witnessed during the
conversation. During the conversation a man has his eyes glassified
however he is making such an appearance as to listen to you carefully and is
even uttering approvals. You can notice this defense in yourself when you are
creped by a kind of feeling of light boredom, tension. In a while one has a
haze arising in the head and he occurs in the place noone
is aware about. That moment the sounds quieten, and
the picture of the interlocutor is dulled.
Once I visited a seminary
lead by a foreigner. The seminary was in English and of course, thats why the
seminary had a translator on it. There were schizoid type features present in
his character that is why he naturally went into this defense from time to
time. It was very interesting to watch how this defense influences the quality
of work. He was perfect in language and did good oral translation but in the
minutes, or say well, moments he flew away, he gave wrong translation of words,
didnt hear what was the conversation about, translated the entire sentences
incorrectly, having the general meaning of the speech distorted from time to
time. The quality of the seminary suffered, however it had subtle moments very
important for understanding.
This example allows figuring out that a defense
- is a good thing and even useful one, which aids us to avoid some undesirable
matters, but also influences the quality of experiencing our life and work. By
applying our defenses we either fall out of life or distort the perception of it,
obtaining the wrong understanding about whats going on in it.
The second defense of a schizoid is Out of
Oneself. If the first defense is set up for seconds, minutes or hours, this
one is set up by a person for days, years and even decades. This defense is
usually set up after a very strong trauma; no matter either it was
psychological or physical. The man looks like hes out of himself, out of this
world.
The third defense might be called Needles.
There is an expression in Russian one has set off needles out of himself. It
is very accurate describing what happens with a man using this defense. As
clairvoyants claim, the aura is really covered with the needles at the moment.
The interlocutor answers these actions by disconnection because the needles he
set off really prick him. On the consciousness level one feels it as a sort of
discomfort and that the person doesnt want to talk to us.
I want to draw your attention once again that
there are no good or bad defenses, no moral or immoral ones, and no gentle or
rough ones. They are as they are, and thats all. All defenses take place on a
subtle plane that is on the energetic level, and aim to protect an individual
when he is a subject to some kind of threat, by his own opinion only. Of
course, all that processes take place on the subconsciousness level.
There are active and passive defenses or, to
say in a different manner, some defenses use attack as a main method of
protection, others the defense intself. Its obvious
that different combinations exist. Every character under consideration has its
own favored defenses, but there is an innumerable amount of them. Try to open
them for yourself by watching yourself and other people. And remember that
while a man keeps a hostile attitude toward the external world, while you think
this world and people are hostile and subjecting you to unknown troubles, - you
and they will protect themselves. This is a law, so be patient. Youll make
nothing by the fighting, for sure.
Similarly to the character types, defenses are
powerful blockings in the mind-body system since they include all your system
as a whole. Its no use to work with them by artificial methods in order to get
rid of them. Are you able to get off the armor and throw out the weapons during
the fight? As far as you feel this world is hostile to you, youll always have
protection systems.
The only way to do something to them is to
apprehend, to see them. This can be assisted by your relatives and friends if
you ask them to point out it for you when you go into defense. Its much easier
and faster to get acquainted with the defenses in that case, because as we have
already discussed, its very hard to notice a block when it has arised and occupied all your consciousness. Progressively,
as you realize there is nothing to threat you in this world, when youll
conciliate with death, having understood it is inevitable, a required component
of a life, when youll understand some other important stuff, the defenses will
fall apart by themselves.
Since the schizoid is separated from the
physical reality and feels weakly if feels at all that he is alive, sex is a
remedy for him to feel the power of life. And this is understandable, because
an orgasm is the most powerful mean to shake up the organism as a whole, waking
it up for at least several moments. Thats why many schizoids began to took up automanipulation,
masturbation and sometimes to have sexual intercourses in the youngest age,
before they were seven. Sexual fantasies on various themes always accompany the
internal life of the schizoid because on the external level he makes new
contacts with people very badly and prefers loneliness and isolation.
Schizoid has prolonged, thin and compressed
body, however there are stout schizoids too. To the eye it looks uncoordinated,
clumsy, that is, all parts of the body, by an impression, live through their
own life and move independently from each other. And this is true; he has split
himself in order to survive.
He has weak joints, frequently red and under tension.
The blocks are present in his arm, leg, and even finger joints, which look as
holes in aura. These holes appear when he needs to act. Since he doesnt admit
the physical reality thats why he has no actions in this world acceptable.
Thats why he simply opens them to free the energy. At that time he feels the
weakness and reluctance to do anything, and reasons his lack of desire to do
something with anything up to things such as its the worst time for actions
now, the Moon is in the wrong phase. Hes unable to make the basic things to
hammer the nail, to fix up the wall outlet (if hes a women - to tidy up or to
make up breakfast) simply because he has no power for it.
His left and right halves lack equilibrium that
is male and female energies are unbalanced.
Schizoid usually keeps his head slightly bended
aside. This is especially well noticeable when talking to him. He has tension
around the basis of a skull, and beneath the rear side of his head he has the
main energetic block, having a powerful energy stream pulling out of it. Thats
why a schizoid may have headaches often. His face is like a mask and may have a
diabolical appearance. The mouth may be asymmetrical.
His eyes are empty and stare is scattered. He
avoids and makes no real contact with his eyes. His watch may also be zatravlennim, and his eyes have a sturdy tension around
them.
Draw a close attention to construction of
schizoids jaw - it is lengthened and squared at bottom. Since it is common in
our society to be dressed at walking, the body is usually not visible to
determine using it the character type the person belongs to. Thats why a rapt
attention should be drawn to the construction of the skull, jaw and neck.
However if you initiate a conversation with a person, its easier and better
determined by the language constructions this person uses, to speak later about
that.
A schizoid has a long, tight and often a thin
neck. Shoulders - are small, and have no strength in them. Its common that one
shoulder is bigger than the other. This shows that one part of the body has a
larger amount of energy than the other one. Having entered the neck and
shoulders meditatively youll see and feel its empty on the smaller shoulders
side and overfilled on the others side. The neck is also empty on the smaller
shoulders side, creating the impression there is no it there, but it is the
hole there.
The only way out to resolve this matter is to
begin observing it, in my opinion. The more often youll deal with these blocks
- its better to do it in meditation the more it will fill the emptiness. The
energy will start flowing form another part of the body to a place were the
lack of it is experienced. The tension will begin to leave the neck. Shoulders
will begin to straighten themselves up and to pull themselves out, until they
finally become normal and equal in size. And youll have a fear to associate
with people gone away, together with the fear to act; youll have the physical
and mental powers appeared and you will also pick up plenty of miscellanious useful things in the process of working on youself.
Schizoid has long arms and legs which he
controls badly. Besides, they are chill. Often when Im in doubt, whichs
standing in front of me, I inquire into the blood circulation in the organism
that is what particular body places are freezed.
Foots have high elevation. He may walk with one side put forward. His basin is
compressed and thighs look like if they were pinned.
Schizoid has his chest tightly compressed by
round tensions, thus so-called bending pains occur with him. As a result a
schizoid woman has a big breast unavailable. Arms and legs may also have the
same round tensions - blockings. Theres a muscular tension around his abdomen
which also origins the disunity the higher-the lower. Schizoid may strengthen
up his abdomen doing exercises for as much time as possible but he will
progress very hardly, if at all. His abdomen will stay friable and weak in any
case. In order to begin making out with it its necessary to resolve the third
chakra issues and also the schizoid character issue itself.
Backbone is often curved because schizoid has
got used to fly away from his body. One sure remedy to correct the backbone
known to me, except for the massage and manual therapy of course, - is regular
sitting in the pose for mediation as I described in my second book and in the
given work in a chapter about concentration and meditation. This may take a few
years but apart from the strait backbone, there will be many other great useful
things youll obtain by meditation, this one be the most important in the
overcoming of the negative sides of schizoid character. Regular meditations are
the only certain remedy known to me to solve the problem for good.
To say about energies, schizoid keeps his
energies frozen deeply inside. Hes hyperactive that is agile, but is torn away
from the earth. The last stands for his wandering in the clouds and for his
detachment from the earth. At the very beginning we spoke for the origins
describing such behavior.
Schizoid has his 2B, 3A, 6A and 7 chakras open.
All chakras are distorted, especially 3A due to the disbalance
of man - yang - and woman - eying - energies.
In interrelations with people schizoid impels
them for intellectual relations. This means that even if youll meet him for
the first time and hell keep silence, youll begin to talk with him about high
matters and intellectual stuff anyway; its just impossible to talk with him
about earthly matters. Such things like what is made up of what, how to fix up something,
how much they drunk recently and who slept with whom recently are of no
interest for him.
In conversation hell speak in depersonalized
language, that is his language will lack pronouns mostly, and the sentences
will be impersonal - as far as he doesnt accept his physical existence, this
far, he doesnt sense himself and his body and that concerns other people as
well. He socialises using absolute terms having
nothing in common with actual earthly conceptions. That means he will speak
with you of Cosmos, of spirituality, of love, but if youll ask him what should
one do exactly, how to resolve the situation for instance, hell watch at you
with an empty and lacking understanding stare and shall continue to converse on
those themes. It often looks like he has a salad of words.
His reaction to the situation is comprised of
his absence, being out. You may talk with him or invite him somewhere, to be at
the location; he might not keep this in memory because he wont be with you, he
is flown away. However, there surely is a part of him which knows and remembers
everything. To talk about extreme situations, he is not present there even more
so.
His ability to be absent is also extended to
the physical plane. This means that in the places where a danger may appear or
a critical situation, hes simply absent, physically; - anyone might get into
such situations, but him. Its also difficult to catch him. If he considers
hes not to be somewhere, you may make an exsess of
calls at him or try to meet him at home for as many times as possible, but you
wont be able to achieve this. You may do it only when the situation will pass
by. If youll approach him later, hell only show his wonder and say he was at
home for all that time, but went for proceedings one or two times, and thatll
be the actual truth. This way his protection systems work and this is a
specific purpose they were created for, to protect him from danger. And also
not to live through his fears, a horror to be destroyed, and anger, origined by these fears.
The duality pairs in which this character is
confined are - Life-Death
and Unsafety-Safety. To understand better what are
these all about refer to my second book The Way to Freedom: Good and Evil a
game in duality.
Because the schizoid thinks inside hes to
split himself in order to survive, thats why he always has this defective
disposition in him. Therefore, the defective disposition engenders a double
knot, holding a person by its death grip in its field, making him to live
through this character. This
double knot is - To live be to die.
Its difficult to specially give a piece of
advice here because every man has his own unique way. Typically it can be said
that physical exercises to develop and enlive the
body should merge with psychic work. However, this concerns any character.
Physical exercises or some physical actions
like in-house ones should be very primitive and minimal in time at the
beginning. The most important thing about them is to live through the pleasure
of body moving, working, and being able to do something. Let it take several
minutes but it will be the pleasure and joy of having something accomplishing.
This feeling of pleasure should be given to spread along the body and it should
be memorized, in order for you to return to physical actions more easily
afterwards. There should be no compulsion of oneself, but the feeling of
pleasure only. Then it will gradually begin to sense its power to live in the
physical world.
Another very important aspect of working on
oneself which concerns other characters as well is to begin the investigation
and to finally sense these distinctive tensions which were described for this
character. Since the mind and the body comprise the one and each one of them
reflects the other one, by investigating and sensing the tension you will
directly face the blocks which form this character. Whats good in a work with
tensions and pains is that you can experience all that directly. They are in
the body but not in the subconsciousness which nobody is aware of. You can
sense, live through and release them.
Schizoid should begin to determine who he is.
As you remember, new thoughts expand our borders but in the given case, since
the borders are rinsed out, you should set them. By the way, the rinsed borders
may be determined by the signs on the external plane such as, if you have a
country-house, then its fence will be absent, or it will fall down repeatedly,
even if fixed any number of times, or it will have a lot of holes, which
animals will use to penetrate and spoil the fruits of the garden-work. At his
house or apartment he will always have something wrong happening to the doors,
especially to the entrant ones.
To speak about the psychic work, two my
previous books were devoted to it - this is a work on ones own fears and
negative emotions. Schizoid should begin looking in the face of his anger,
allowing it to arise and allowing it to go away at the same time. This can be
done in the time of meditations, some physical exercises or in-house work, when
the muscles are rubbed among them and the anger is better spreaded
to the outside.
And the following moments should be noted here
for working on oneself. If you, having noticed the schizoid features in you,
shall begin to look carefully at your thoughts or actions concerning the
relationships with the other people, youll notice they have the following
thought flickering among them: Ill refuse you before youll refuse me. This
is the affirmation-mask. All you need to do here is to begin looking through
your connections and to realize the behavior template: to avoid nearness and to
live through your life alone. Of course, youll have many things occuring in parallel at the same time. When youll do it,
youll see it in its most beauty. Then itll step back.
Having stepped back the mask will open
so-called the lower self, or basic emotions. (Be careful, this may be already
happening to you right now.) Theyll say to you: You dont exist too. Its
meant herein that schizoid has no consciousness about himself or other people
and of world around. Theyre unreal for him because he has separated himself
from them. Begin to get acquainted with this vision, having no evaluations or
rejection of it, simply begin looking at that.
In a while or might be immediately, when youll
see it, some highly organized part of your self will arise to the surface and
will declare: But I do exist! . And these words will have the astonishment
and curiosity in them, the opening of new horizons and many other positive
emotions. What will happen - or you just have it happening right now will be
the breath of something fresh, new, surprising. Then it may go away but if
youll continue to work on yourself, the emotions will be back a while. This
will happen to you many times, and the intervals between coming forth and back
will become smaller and smaller, until the state of life will be fastened
forever.
Working on yourself, be honest when looking
inside you.
And now a final note. Ive noticed that the one
of the most effective remedies for a schizoid, aiming to overcome his fears to
act and fears of the external world, is a game. Play! If youll get it youll
get it, if you wont get it - you wont get it. Theres no attachment to the
result, no evaluations, no comparisons, but the game and you strength trials.
The game allows you open your creative powers;
it allows experiencing the freshness of feelings every moment. That is all
essence about.
These are
the thoughts which come to the schzoids head often.
Here they are:
1.
Something
wrong is happening to me.
2.
If
Ill allow myself to act, Ill be destroyed.
3.
If
Ill allow my vital energy to go out, Ill be destroyed.
4.
I
have chosen the wrong planet/time.
5.
I
cannot rely on myself and my body.
6.
I
dont belong to this world.
7.
Im
a social outcast in this world.
8.
Solitude
is my fate.
9.
Ill
be broken down to pieces/Ill break myself into pieces.
10.
Ill
reject you before youll reject me.
11.
And
you dont live too/You dont exist/are not alive too.
Again, were gravitating toward spliting of the higher and the lower thats why we have the
evaluations appearing involuntarily, that one of them is better and one is
worse. Higher self exists only because the lower exists its the lower
self which allows it to be shown in a way proper to it and to be named
higher. Theyre unseparable from each other and
support each other. Our language is imperfect thats why I have to use these
terms.
Schizoids are very spiritual and gifted with
numerous talents people. The only trouble with them is that theyre afraid to
realize their talents to life, being afraid of it and rejecting it. They have
vivid imagination and theyre sharp thinkers who posess
many innovative ideas. Theyre very receptive and perceptive natures and that
is why therere many creative individuals among them. And they possess very
strong intuition.
If people who posess
schizoid type features in their personality structure will overcome the fears
of the external world, theyll be able to grant very much to humanity and to
themselves.
The following thoughts are not intended to be
full, correct or covering the problem of schizoid character entirely, of course.
Thats why I remind you once again that you are the authority for yourself to
compose new thought forms.
