Assagioli was an Italian Psychologist who developed an approach to Psychology that took account of the spiritual nature of Man. His Egg diagram shown above, captures in a simple way the relationship between the centre of consiousness or the 'I' (in the Centre) and the Self or Higher Self, at the top. When being trained in Psychosynthesis, which is the system he developed, it is a practice to write on the edge of the board - "this is not the truth". Of course this does not mean the ideas are untrue - just that any formulation of truth must, by its very limitations, fall short of The Truth in its fulness.
We become closer to the Truth, when the filters inside our 'Egg' of consciousness become purified. For Assagioli, this could occur through the practice of Psychosynthesis and accompanying spiritual exercises.
A Google search on Psychosynthesis will provide much on which to follow up. Those in or near London may find clicking here provides further useful information.
