The Bloch sphere emerged from quantum mechanics of spin-1/2 particles (two-level systems like qubits or nuclear spins) in magnetic fields, generalizing classical spin precession to quantum superpositions.
Welcome to Training the Ego. This is your simple guide to understanding and becoming the person you want to be – your true self. I’ve tried to make it simple, so that anyone can read and understand it, yet the concepts here are incredibly powerful. And if used correctly, can lead an individual to true self-transcendence, where they have complete mastery of self in all its guises.
Authenticity, I suggest, is a continuum, a spectrum of stages, that may never end, since the self is a largely unknown thing, and that exploration of self, if done with regular determination, is always going to be revealing “new stuff”.
The dual-mask system, part of the Theory of the DNA-Self could also explain the concept of life positions, as described in transactional analysis.
Social interdependence theory is a foundational concept in social psychology that examines how individuals’ outcomes and behaviours are shaped by their interdependence with others in a group or relationship
This article looks into the basic family relationship, as driven by our genetic need for connection, support, nurturing and protection. We then propose a typical dysfunctional scenario, based on parents that are avoidant of that connection. It proposes that this scenario will result in children that will include a scapegoat, who may well develop C-PTSD based Stockholm Syndrome, before they are old enough to verbalise their long-term abuse. It also introduces a new term – Puppy-dog Syndrome, to describe one of the observable behaviours of children that have had this childhood.
Behaviourism can help deepen our understanding of how societal systems of reward and punishment condition individuals, shape ego processes, and ultimately entrench a culture of blame.
