| New Book by Murray Stein
Explores our Inner Maps |
| | | There is a lot of interest in
today’s culture about the idea of Persona and the psychological mapping of
one’s inner world. In fact, the interest is so strong that the superstar Korean
Pop band, BTS, has taken Dr. Murray Stein’s concepts and woven them into the
title and lyrics of their latest album, Map of the Soul:Persona.
What is our persona and how does it
affect our life’s journey? What masks do we wear as we engage those
around us? Our persona is ultimately how we relate to the world.
Combined with our ego, shadow, anima and other intra-psychic elements it
creates an internal map of the soul.
T.S. Eliot, one of the most famous
English poets of the 20th Century, wrote that every cat has three
names: the name that everybody knows, the name that only the cat’s intimate
friends and family know, and the name that only the cat knows. As humans, we
also have three names: the name that everybody knows, which is the public
persona; the name of that only your close friends and family know, which is
your private persona; and the name that only you know, which refers to your
deepest self. Many people know the first name, and some people know the second.
Do you know your secret name, your individual, singular, unique name? This is a
name that was given to you before you were named by your family and by your
society. This name is the one that you should never lose or forget. Do you know
it? |
