No energy pattern is inherently positive or negative.  Everything is relative to our awareness and our ability to direct energy through an aware ego so that we can make real choices about what we do.

Every disowned self demands a certain amount of energy to keep it unconscious. 

p.31 The parts with which we identify usually determine our choice of relationship. For instance, if we are identified rational self, that self will want us to relate to rational people.

p.32 How is this person, or this situation my teacher?
Energy cannot be destoryed, thus these disowned instincts being to operate unconciously and attract additional energy to themselves. 

p.36. It is possible to learn to honor an energy patters without being requested to live it. ....does not mean releasing in the world and living them out; quite the contrary.. we have a better chance of  of controlling them when they are allowed expression in a balanced way.
 

p.40 Do you feel self-righteous? isn't that other other person so dreadful? ..you cannot bask in the sunshine of moral superiority for too long. You now know you cannot reform the other person. It is to look at those qualities with wichi you are over-identified (you know the ones which make your proud) and recognize how they limit you.

p.70 Awareness bestows the gift of being able to step back from any experience, though or behavior and witness it but it is not an active influence.

the pusher : will help achieve success in the world. it will also give migraines, backaches, heart attacks. As soon as we cross an item of the list, the pusher will add one more to the bottom.

It may seem that the successful type A professional who is well organized and constantly on the go has the strongest pusher, but housewives who sit around all day in their bathrobes leaving the dishes undone and the beds unmade... these pushers have lists so long an unattainable that the women have just given up and fallen into a depressive subpersonality who believes any attempt to gt anything done is futile.

there tends to be physical tension. our physical bodies otten pay the prices for supporting and overly endowed pusher. the pusher is one of the cornerstones of that personality for most people. It incorporates all the parental and societal injunctions, all the things we should and should not do.

the do-nothing : this voice permits us to slow down, take care of ourselves and enjoy life. if this energy is not incorporated into our own lives, we will most definitely draw someone into our orbit who will carry this energy for us.

the critic: the is always ready to point out our inadequacies and failures. It has total candor, no desire to hide its power.  a top notch critic can get us from any angle.

the comparer : whatever the comparison, the comparer always uses a particular watchword: however you are someone else is better.

the perfectionist : we can see the futility of trying to please a perfectionist like this whose demands are totally unrealistic and can never be fully met no matter wat we do.

the power brokers : group of energy patterns that may include  power, ambition, pusher, money, selfishness. the compulsive accumulation of wealth, is an attempt to allay the anxieties and fears of the vulnerable child. Compulsive wealth-building is one aspect of the power broker in action.

the pleaser : there is nothing wrong with the pleasing.  the only question is , as with all energy patterns, who is doing the pleasing? is there a real choice made an aware ego?

the good mother: the woman has no choice but to give and give until she is depleted.
