%INHIBITIONS-I 761005
Inhibitions are generated and eliminated by social
relationships. Once generated, inhibitions inhibit the
development of a person's unique potentials for
fulfillment and human relationships. It is exceedingly
difficult for a person to transcend an inhibition on their
own, without the support of and acceptance of important
others within loving social relationships. Intellectual
considerations and discussions are ineffective means for
transcending inhibitions. Discussions of inhibitions in
the abstract lead to abstract conclusions, not to
decisions and affective changes which transcend the
inhibitions. Inhibitions are transcended most
effectively via a social process which is an antidote to
the social process which generated the inhibition.
Inhibitions often have to do with trying to avoid
rejection by the important other persons in one's life.
When the important others practice conditional acceptance,
inhibitions develop to try to meet those conditions. Those
conditions become introjected and help form the conscience
which punishes with guilt and shame any failure to meet
the conditions. The fear of rejection of self by self,
due to the programmed conscience, inhibits the self.
Rational analysis will not point the way out of the prison
of such knowledge of good and evil which we call con-
science. The prison which knowledge (science) created
cannot be transcended by more knowledge. No poison is
its own antidote. More science is not the antidote to
the misuse of science.
Inhibitions are the result of the misuse of the
knowledge of good and evil; the result of rejecting others
on the basis of the definition of what constitutes good
behavior, and what constitutes evil behavior; i.e.,
morality and ethics. Inhibitions can be reduced most
effectively via unconditional acceptance and the
acceptance of unconditional acceptance. Unconditional
self-acceptance is near impossible without unconditional
acceptance by an important other person first. For this
reason, the reduction of inhibitions is a social process
rather than a process of self-improvement on an
individualistic basis.
