Personal Self vs Higher Self in Psychosynthesis – Roberto Assagioli’s Teachings

In this extended talk, I explore one of the most profound teachings in psychosynthesis: the distinction between the personal self—the conscious “I” at the center of our experience—and the Higher Self, our transcendent source of meaning, wisdom, and love.Based on the same presentation I gave at the International Psychosynthesis Conference in Italy (2024), this recording goes deeper into Roberto Assagioli’s core ideas. You’ll discover how the personal self functions as the loving, willing observer—and how awakening to the Higher Self can become a guiding force in your life.This lecture includes:• The six core assumptions about the self in psychosynthesis• How to experience the “I” as pure presence—unchanging and contentless• The stages of I-consciousness and the journey toward Self-realization• Why Assagioli placed the Higher Self in the superconscious• How to use disidentification as a practical spiritual exerciseWhether you’re on a path of spiritual growth or just starting your psychosynthesis journey, this episode offers both insight and inspiration to connect with your true inner center.If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
