Identity - is that really important?
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Or, maybe even, who? The eyes of a child or teenager remain open to the possibilities that inspire and intrigue. What is seen is opportunity to do something that just fits who we are. Expression of our identity and our innate qualities is found in that which just resonates in our very being.
On the other hand, you may be among those who weren't quite sure what fit. Influences of parents, extended family, teachers, all may have offered suggestions either leaving you overwhelmed or just plain confused. A rule of thumb I have used in counseling young adults who were still looking for a fit was that the average young adult has tried 3 to 5 different careers by the time they are 25. This encourages you to try numerous jobs to see what fits. And while trying, try on the jobs that interest you. Don't settle for whatever just comes along.
Identity is a major factor in any area of life satisfaction. Whether career, education, partner, geographical climate, or spiritual community, each factor is an indication of how much or how little we have chosen from the Core of our being. The values we live by, the characteristics we show to those we consider important in our lives reflect who and how we wish to be known The jist of this site invites you to examine your life and the degree to which you manifest incidentally or intentionally who you really are. You will find ideas for growth and fulfillment to live from your Core Identity. If you have encountered assault on who you are either in childhood or adult years to the extent you have lost perspective on who you really are, there is hope for healing and restoration so that you can once again live life from your Core Self.
Foundational to the principles developed and applied through every outreach of Core Integrity, Inc. is the Core Integrity Model. These principles are laid out in the overview below. As you become more interested in a deeper look into any one area of these ideas, you will be directed to either Heartland Trauma Institute which addresses healing from injury or the Identity-driven Life Forum which introduces concepts for growth.
Three approaches to consciousness which support the concepts of the Core Integrity Model follow - the personal phenomenology of identity and Core Self; the neurocognitive research findings of the past two decades that substantiate the importance of identity and consciousness; and the existential, spiritual traditions of Judeo-Christian theology and consciousness as applied to spirituality. The melding of these positions provides a strong base to understanding and applying amazing insights that are life changing. We invite you to participate in an ongoing development and application of these principles to your own life whether to intervene with wounded people, to recover from incidental or intentional injury to your mind or spirit, to develop consistency of character and values, to grow into the you that your Creator intended, or to play a part in strengthening your community to meet the needs of others whether in plenty or adversity.
