Various “me”: Subpersonality

Have you ever noticed that you behave differently in your office, at home, in social interplay, in solitude, at church, or as a member of a political party? – Roberto Assagioli

Yes, I have wondered why I behave differently in accordance with various situations.  I’ve been curious about this thing.  However, I’ve been worried about various “me.”  I didn’t know who is a real “me”.  Yeah, I noticed that all are real “me.”  Various subpersonalities exist in each of us.  My text book I’m reading now says “Subpersonalities are normal.”  I’m relieved to read that because I’m not crazy but normal.

My Integral Life Practice

After reading the book – INTEGRAL LIFE PRACTICE A 21st Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening, I have performed ILP for my growth every day.  The below charts are my practices when I live in Japan and I revised some practices and their frequencies (see red ink).

Gross Body Module

Practices	Frequency
Push-ups, Squats, Crunches	Once every two days
Running	Almost every day 25minutes around Pleasant Hill
Half Marathon (21.0975km)	Three times a year
Full Marathon (42.195km)	One time a year
Soccer	Sometimes

I really want to play soccer in California.  I registered my profile into “San Francisco Bay Area Team Search” but very sadly I’ve not been offered by any team.  So, I’m wondering whether I should participate in a “5 on 5 soccer” team or not.  To be honest with you, I want to join a standard soccer team (11 on 11)…

Subtle Body Module

Practices	Frequency
Kundalini Yoga	Every morning and every night
Qigong	Every night  5-10 minutes
Subtle Breath Practice	Every night

Oh, recently I blow off my “Breath Practice.”  I’ll restart it again!
