Metacognitive Integration is a dynamic process of exploration, identification, connection AND reconnection of the organismic self with it’s systemwide functions. It is a process that allows the individual to actualise themselves. This optimises the integration of their organism, to allow them to better thrive in the local environment.
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”.
Jung developed his theory of autonomous complexes in 1908, through word association experiments at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. By measuring subjects’ reaction times to stimulus words and noting hesitations, slips, and emotional reactions, Jung discovered patterns suggesting emotionally-charged “hot spots” in the unconscious.
