Motivation Check Part 1
Questioning our Motivation is key in finding out whether we have a natural Sense of your Self or are dependent on a Substitute Sense of Self for a Self-experience. To help you figuring out if you are leading a life using Indirect Motivation, here are some checklists.
There are 2 graphics of an overview below on this page and 2 more on the second page of Motivation Check . Please study the ones on this page thoroughly (#1 and #2) so you get a sense of the categories of each concept in the header. The graphic on the next page (#3 and #4) are forms for you to print out and fill in yourself.
The design of these lists gives a clear outline of how, through Indirect Motivation, a Vehicle is used to work on improving on those conditions that form our Ego-References, with the ultimate goal of accomplishing our Hidden Agenda.
In case the parent or caregiver is still around in a person’s life that is pretty much where the line ends. The Substitute Sense of Self can be seen as the result of the real approval of the parent – or, ‘virtual approval’ when, later in life, the parent’s criteria have been internalized and are generated by the person who has a lack of Sense of Self and is therefore dependent on the Substitute Sense of Self.
