A Splinter Personality

A Splinter Personality is a term coined by Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst Carl Jung. 

When I think of a splinter personality as Gary Zukav mentions in his book “The Seat of the Soul” I see it as someone torn between 2 intentions. 

According to Zukav, having a splinter personality can be the reason for not having or getting the things in life you want. A person must have clear intentions and whatever intentions you have you will achieve. It’s not what you do that matters but the intention behind what you are doing that matters. 

 

Perhaps a splinter personality poses as an ego vs others struggle. I think some would argue that ego serves the soul as well. Maybe, but the ego is never really satisfied, yet the soul is satisfied when we serve others, which can be a dying process for the ego…ok so I’m struggling with this concept yet I am growing more and more. 

 More simply put, when struggling with a splinter personality you must decide if the thing you want is an intention that serves your soul!

Once you have this understanding you’ll be more willing to let go of the part of you that doesn’t serve your soul and a higher purpose than yourself.
