7、,Book One,Text Study,Book One,1 A persons life at any given time incorporates both external and internal aspects. The external system is composed of our memberships in the culture: our job, social class, family and social roles, how we present ourselves to and participate in the world. The interior
8、realm concerns the meanings this participation has for each of us. In what ways are our values, goals, and aspirations being invigorated or violated by our present life system? How many parts of our personality can we live out, and what parts are we suppressing? How do we feel about our way of livin
9、g in the world at any given time? 2 The inner realm is where the crucial shifts in bedrock begin to throw a person off balance, signaling the necessity to change and move on to a new footing in the next stage of development. These crucial shifts occur throughout life, yet people consistently refuse
10、to recognize that they possess an internal life system. Ask anyone,Para. 1-2,Audio,Book One,Para. 2-3,who seems down, “Why are you feeling low?” Most will displace the inner message onto a marker event: “Ive been down since we moved, since I changed jobs, since my wife went back to graduate school a

Probably less than ten percent would say: “There is some unknown disturbance within me, and even though its painful, I feel I have to stay with it and ride it out.” Even fewer people would be able to explain that the turbulence they feel
12、may have no external cause. And yet it may not resolve itself for several years. 3 During each of these passages, how we feel about our way of living will undergo subtle changes in four areas of perception. One is the interior sense of self in relation to others. A second is the proportion of safene
13、ss to danger we feel in our lives. A third is our perception of timedo we have plenty of it, or are we beginning to feel that time is running out? Last, there will be some shift at the gut level in our sense of aliveness or stagnation. These are the hazy sensations that compose the background tone o

As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some
15、 cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our own distinctiveness. Pulling Up Roots 5 Before 18, the motto is loud and clear: “I have to get away from my parents.” But the words are seldom connected to action. General

College, military service, and short-term travels are all customary vehicles our society provides for the first round trips between family and a base of ones,Book One,Para. 6-7,own.
