Episode notes
Suffering Contract
- Core Transformation addresses a pattern of suffering where we contract with ourselves to suffer until desires are met.
- This originates from a traumatic transition in early childhood where unconditional love becomes conditional.
Parts' Theory of Mind
- Parts often lack a developed theory of mind, causing conflicts over strategies, not underlying goals.
- Core Transformation helps parts realize shared motivations, leading to harmony and trust within the system.
Meditation Breakthrough
- Romeo uses Core Transformation as supporting scaffolding for meditation, particularly with Brahma Viharas as objects.
- This accelerates progress compared to traditional breath meditation.
