Hereupon, what needs to be clarified now and again
is that fact that there is no such thing as a good person or a bad
person in subpersonalities. No matter how negative the viewed image
of the subpersonality may be, the subpersonality is a part of the person
whatever the situation may be, and as everything has a positive side
to it, so does the subpersonality itself, and it merely means that
the comprehending way of one is just simply negative.
The situation where the subpersonalities become harmful
is when they dominate and control us, or in other words, when a person
can project oneself upon a single particular subpersonality only. If
a person continues to take only one kind of attitude or behavior the
whole time, he or she will become very narrow-minded that trouble will
undoubtedly occur one after another for him or her.
What is interesting is that if by any chance a perfect
god-like subpersonality exists and if the person completely identifies
only with it, the mere overlap itself will turn the person's behavioristic
attitude into a compulsive and a narrow-minded one. This can be seen
in people who project themselves upon subpersonalities such as upon
bishops and higher priests.
"True enlightenment"or "true satori"gives
freedom to all the subpersonalities or in other words to the development
of self-images, and enables control to the person. Therefore, even
if a person has achieved enlightenment, it does not necessarily mean
he or she is under control all the time, for tempers could be lost.
It is only merely a matter of seeing to it they are well taken care
of so they do not get out of hand.
Another important matter is that they, the subpersonalities,
are existences that grow. Sarcasm can grow into humor, anger into passion,
fear into carefulness, and stubbornness into a strong will.
In short, it only means that the subpersonality with
a negative-minus image did not have the opportunity to grow simply
due to its lack of attention. Additionally, the subpersonality which
is not paid attention to anymore regresses easily.
