Intrapsychosis

The field of psychoanalysis has given us the gift of introspection. And it is a gift, for "the unexamined life is not worth living." But just as with all good things, excess is self-indulgent and painful - like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They're good, but trust me, not if you eat like 12.

What's happening inside of you is important. It is part of the whole system of right being. Jesus talks a lot about your heart and God claims that he'll be in you if you let him. To refuse to admit that there is stuff going on inside of you, or that it affects your behavior which in turn affects others, is to deny a large part of your life.

At the same time, to believe that what's happening inside of you is the only thing going on is kind of silly. You would then be denying the importance of your interaction with others, their inner worlds, our outer world, the winds that are blowing, the entire ecosystem and what God is doing with the collection of it all.
