Personality Activation and Script - Two Manifestations of the same reality

Personality Activation and Script

Two Manifestations of the Same Reality

When any one of us is faced with reality (any person, situation, problem, difficulty, condition, challenge or conflict) that affects us, it confronts us with a 'do or die situation'. No matter what choice we make, it is a choice between deep sea and fire. The ruling factor is that it has to be sane (well thought out as to consequences to a course of action), safe (neither causing feeling or emotional harm to self or the other), effective (educated and well informed),  appropriate (the best of multiple approaches) and least harmful (rewarding to bolster self esteem of the person  - be it self or the other). 

We need to build a system that affords the best choice to serve five objectives of sane, safe, effective, appropriate and rewarding. 

When we do so appropriately we are winners. Every course of action builds a empowering system**. If it is an Adult system supported by a permissive Parent and an Acquiescent Child it is good. If it is a Child system, or a Parent system it is likely to be ineffective.

Script is supported by *five active contributors*. (1) Parental Directives - the six Script Matrix messages, (2) a suitable personality - archaic or updated, (3) a childhood decision (unless updated), (4) a real turn-on (that results in) a particualar method of success or failure and (5) a convincing attitude (an attitudinal orientation). Script can be defused (like leaking the air out of a car tyre) - by disregarding directives, by repairing personality triggering mechanisms, by redefining childhood decisions, by changing the turn-on on the go, or by revising the attitude toward self, toward others who pose a challenging proposition and toward situations, problems, difficulties, situations, conditions and challenges by accepting the obverse to be true.

Personality Structure and Script can be viewed as two faces of the same coin. The coin is the activated intra-psychic mechanism that affords the process to proceed down hill or to deal with it sanely, safely, effectively, appropirately and in a manner that gives each party a sense of gain or win. The means that service are the personality structures. The directing mechanism is the script.

** Every course of action builds an empowering system. It may act to the benefit of the person (by building healthy self concept) or against the benefit of the person (by building an unhealthy self concept).
