Psychodynamic IssuesThe concept of separation has to be there before there can be any issue about separation from mother. And the concept of separation implies the concept of mother and the concept of self. The whole issue of separation would not exist if there were no concepts. All psychodynamic issues ultimately are based on concepts, and so finally reduce to phenomenological considerations, which ultimately reduce to the question of the conceptual mind. So the ultimate or most direct method of work is phenomenologically working through concepts. (Diamond Heart Book 4, pg 273)
These difficulties are usually considered a natural part of the spiritual journey, which will pass in time if one perseveres in his practice. If we observe closely, however, we will see that these difficulties are actually produced by his spiritual experience. They are usually connected with psychodynamic issues or structural conflicts and disharmonies that result from the fact that experiencing essential presence has taken his experience beyond some of his psychic structure and its object relations. (The Point of Existence)
This case illustrates the relationship between the world and
the dimension of the Absolute, but it also shows how the realization
of even this absolute dimension requires working through some
object relations and psychodynamic issues. We find that even
after the discovery of this dimension, its complete realization
is mostly a matter of freeing one's consciousness from very deep
object relations and self representations. (The Pearl Beyond
