Pattern of Development

The "true pattern" of the self refers to the intrinsic possibilities one is born with. It is considered a reflection of an archetypal reality. This concept corresponds to our view that the soul has a blueprint, analogous to the DNA in the cell nucleus, which shapes the pattern of development. (The Point of Existence, pg 203)

 

soul pattern development

 

From the point of view of the development of the soul as the unfolding of a true pattern or blueprint, narcissism results from disturbances of the unfoldment of a person's intrinsic pattern, as well as the dissociation of this unfoldment from the essential ground and nature of the self. (The Point of Existence, pg 204)
