The analytic camp is (about) the analytic Self – that form of heroic Self (Sharma, 2022, p. 165), embodied in 12 essays, about how to understand the contradictions in our lives and the destination our Self has. We act and/or react to affects, simple emotions, complex emotions, thoughts, behaviors, gestures, conflicting motivations, and more from this register. In short, the Self acts and/or reacts according to the intensity of the camp light within us. Because we are called to identify the epiphanies of the Self, we often forget the Christ Tabor imprinted in the soul. This Christic or analytical Tabor is called "excellence" and is achieved through the work of talents. In this sense, the analytic Tabor becomes the analytic Self whose mission to reach excellence embodies a socio-moral existential obligation, not a philosophical, metaphysical or theological whim. In our conception, the Analytical Tabor exists as a symbolic paradigm in which the Self associates – unconsciously, consciously and semi-consciously – Christian, moral, social values and principles that it has accepted through emotional borrowing from its parents and that it continues to put into practice , through successful and unsuccessful defense mechanisms such as repression, projective identification, compromise formation, sublimation, and others. In the positive case, the Self constructs positive, successful life scenarios, to which the parents have contributed significantly analytically, i.e. predominantly emotional and rationally balanced. He is what we call a fulfilled, successful analytical Tabor who finds meaning in what he does. In the negative case, the Self defends itself against environmental factors that it cannot deal with advantageously, entering into contradictory, unbalanced competitive, even dangerous life scenarios. In this register, man's analytical Tabor will be one of failure or even failure, for the dynamics of life do not fulfill him and do not give him an authentic meaning in the world. One explanation may be that "parental failures to provide empathy lead to fragmentation of the self" (Gabbard, & Crisp, 2014, p. 27).
According to the "Dictionary of Clinical Psychology" (VandenBos, 2020, pp. 523 524), there would be 18 types of self, excluding the general definition. Neither explanation mentions the "Analytical Self," but each punctuates, in one form or another, aspects of what I identify as not so different from "self analysis" as Freud did. We know that Freud was referring to the inner process that the therapist (analyst) had to go through in order to more easily understand transference and countertransference, that is, the relationship with the analysand / patient. But what makes my conception different is the involvement of writing in self-analysis, not just the obligatory (verbal) part in the long-term professional training of the future psychoanalytic therapist.
The writing I am referring to is part of the awareness of the future therapist. We should not underestimate that one of the beneficial effects of writing is the clarification and clarification of ideas, complemented by a sub cathartic effect, especially if we take into account that a significant number of psychotherapists have gone through trauma. If we bear in mind that therapeutic writing or writing therapy has become "general practice", it might work as an impetus to clarify who we are as therapists and who our patients are or can be. By analogy, if we manage to mentalize our feelings and emotional states, the chances increase to detect those of others. (Allen, Fonagy, & Bateman, 2022). In this context, I consider that the writing method facilitates the knowledge and development of the analytical Self, as an internal propellant and an effect, equally, of the taboric light received in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. So the analytic Tabor in each can be seen as that Jungian process of individuation, when man prepares to become and explore the facets of Self necessary for fulfillment, meaning, and happiness.
In a short definition for me, the Analytical Self is the mind's method of being and acting as an "existential radar". As in turning 360º, the Self constantly scans past, present and future. Consequently, the mind proposes answers, sometimes in real time, sometimes after other scans. Thus, the analytic Self leads either to action, or to inaction or reflection, as phenomenological ways of understanding existing contradictions. Genuinely or falsely, the Analytical Self continually offers new perspectives on the world and relationships with others, which sometimes transforms it into a feared, social or ideal Self, at other times into a perceived, intimate, normative or possible Self (cf. VandenBos 2020 , pp. 523 524). The idealized self or the self as an object of knowledge can lead, in turn, to transformative actions in the desire to become; specifically, in the desire to understand the contradictions and the destination, with all possible subconscious dynamics. As a possible penultimate stage in the maturation of the Self, it takes the form of general investigation about its own functioning and socio-spiritual dimension in the world, transforming into an investigative self. Basically, the basis for the formation of the Ego is laid in the direction explained by Williams James, as the last stage of maturation: Self as Agent (Self as Agent), "the aspect of the self that has goals, plans and a certain degree of control over actions" (VandenBos, 2020 , p. 524). All these types of self, which an individual can go through, exist as stages of knowledge and maturation in the formation of the analytical Self, which do not necessarily imply a "late maturity" in the sense understood by Jung (VandenBos, 2020, p. 523 - see general definition of Self). Although I am not debating a theory in this sense, the 12 essays are a touchstone in explaining the Analytical Self.
In the analytic Tabor, the inner force of experiences calls for psychic states founded on a dialectical core, in which contradictions appear as irrational, at least in the first phase (hence my constant expression "in appearance"). Thus, the ambivalence that is their source is not a burden, but a privilege that does not blind dialectical meaning. The contradictory nature of information represents the stages necessary to understand that we are searching for meaning. Not having the right answers at hand, man acts on instinct, i.e. impulsively. It denotes a world of creativity, where the expressiveness of ideas is not arbitrary, but by an unconscious, unconscious modal logic. Behavior, on the other hand, is constantly required to produce changes, as a way of adapting to the environment.
The analytical tabor must be deciphered by the psychic and soul height to which the Self is invited to reach. Like a spiritual quadrilateral, the analytical Tabor is composed of four types of settings necessary to reach success, excellence, and salvation: mind set, health set, heart set, and soul set (Sharma, 2022). Four Inner Empires: The more I resonate with the symbolic totem of each, the more I ascend to the desired height/excellence. Hence the success of the analytical Self or even the analytical success of the human being.
The current notes represent a continuation of the current of modal dialectics, that is, of the seemingly irrational contradictions that exist in us, but also of the need to highlight them. The best form is to project them into a self-analysis, which can represent part of subjective psychological knowledge. At the same time, in a relationship with an analyst or therapist, this dynamic takes the form of a personal development that, carried out in a good therapeutic alliance, lays the foundations for a new opportunity to grow, to identify the meaning of the Self.
Under the sign of dialectical thinking, with the character of necessity, the analytical Tabor becomes the intended target. In order to have access to the King Word within me, I must accept that dialectical thinking is the way to understand the paradoxical messages in life and the Bible. My hypothesis is that the reference to the Bible / patristic teachings / Jesus Christ is dialectical by definition, almost always modal (verbs are relevant in the message of salvation), and people do not reach Him because they do not think / feel / have not acquired the cognitive skills and / or mentalizing to think in scriptural paradoxes. They prefer the behavioral ones, as seemingly irrational contradictions blind them. For example, "I want to be with you" at the same time as "I don't want to be with you." Now, the modal dialectic found in the Bible supports contradictions as a rational necessity to understand the dynamics of the world, and my underlying therapeutic message proposes such a type of dialectic, which opens and closes angles, like a 360º methodology.
To gain access to the analytical Tabor within you, you must first gain access to the Christic Tabor. The Word of Scripture is the original King Word, followed by other secondary king words. The spirituality of the King Word becomes essential for salvation. For example: "I am that I am." Axiomatically, "I am that I am" is not only the King Word but also the analytical Tabor. If we understood the apparent irrational contradiction by which Christ affirms that he is what he is, we can intuit that the logic of the modal dialectic becomes essential, because the verb "to be" is not only the expression of existentialism, but also "situational proof" (Hermann Argelander).
In my notes, the Analytic Tabor is another way of showing that the Analytic Self or the King Word must reach its destination. The idea of destination is important, as it fills the field of discussion with ideas of meaning, purpose, and how to get there, upon reaching that goal. Modal dialectic - based on the place of verbs in the mental topic of the individual's existence - aims at understanding what happens to us. When we can't translate the conflicting messages in our lives, we are blinded by the necessity of what we think is happening to us. And maybe it is. We are frustrated, irritated, angry at those around us. We don't understand that what happens to us is part of what we think is happening to us. Action blindness comes from the modal verbs used by our psyche, without realizing it: must, be, know, have and their combinations: must have, must know, must be able, must succeed and others. So, it seems that the destination is missed, at least for the time being.
In the Analytical Tabor, what I am trying to show is that the destination must always be natural. In a religious context, the final destination of human existence is salvation, as a form of human respect towards the first King Word - the Taboric Logos -, regardless of the social position held. So the Analytical Self involves not only spirituality and the religious dimension of existence, but also modal dialectics.
Subsidiarily, the book is a protest against Evil of any kind. The solutions to reach the destination through the analytical Tabor lie in the analytical voice, individual and collective, that each of us is invited to discover.
