Integrating Theories for a Unified Understanding of Relational Systems – How FCP and MIT Bridge Psychology, Sociology, and Systems Theory 🚀 How do we integrate all of human knowledge into a framework that actually works? The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) aren’t just theories; they are meta-frameworks designed to unify insightsContinue reading “Integrating Theories for a Unified Understanding of Relational Systems – How FCP and MIT Bridge Psychology, Sociology, and Systems Theory”

Gaia-Inspired Revolution: Using FCP & MIT to Guide Revolutionary Action
Imagine you’re a fish in a fish tank. You can swim around and make choices, but if the water is dirty, you’re going to get sick no matter what you do. Cartesian dualism is like saying, “It’s your fault you’re sick, just swim better,” instead of realizing the whole tank needs to be cleaned. InContinue reading “Gaia-Inspired Revolution: Using FCP & MIT to Guide Revolutionary Action”
Collective Reflection, Mirror Integration Theory (MIT), and Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Framework for Systemic Transformation
Collective Reflection: A Mechanism for Societal Awareness and Integration Collective Reflection is the process through which societies engage in introspection, recognize historical patterns, and integrate knowledge about their collective experiences. It allows communities to process past events, acknowledge systemic failures, and adjust their cultural narratives. Unlike individual reflection, which is deeply personal, Collective Reflection isContinue reading “Collective Reflection, Mirror Integration Theory (MIT), and Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Framework for Systemic Transformation”
The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection
The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection Introduction The modern loneliness epidemic is often attributed to technological advancements, social media, or shifts in family structures. However, its roots go much deeper—stretching back to a philosophical shift that redefined how we perceive ourselves and others. René Descartes’ mind-body dualism, whichContinue reading “The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection”
Comparing Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Stephen Hawking’s Theory of Everything (TOE)
Stephen Hawking, a renowned theoretical physicist, spoke extensively about the “Theory of Everything” (TOE), which he described as a single, unified framework that could explain all fundamental forces and particles of nature. His work focused on reconciling general relativity (which governs large-scale structures like galaxies) with quantum mechanics (which governs subatomic particles). Hawking believed thatContinue reading “Comparing Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Stephen Hawking’s Theory of Everything (TOE)”
Common Denominators: Unifying Science, Spirituality, and Systems Theory into a Unified Theory of Everything
Imagine that everything in the world is connected, like puzzle pieces that form a big picture. Now, there are two ways to help fix the world when these pieces are out of place. One way is through Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), which are science-based methods. FCP looks at how societiesContinue reading “Common Denominators: Unifying Science, Spirituality, and Systems Theory into a Unified Theory of Everything”
Shekhinah & Yichud: Healing the Fragmented World
Shekhinah: The Divine Feminine Presence in Judaism The Shekhinah is a concept in Jewish mysticism and theology that represents the feminine aspect of God, often associated with divine presence, compassion, and immanence. Unlike the more distant, transcendent idea of God (Ein Sof in Kabbalah or Yahweh in traditional Jewish thought), Shekhinah embodies God’s closeness toContinue reading “Shekhinah & Yichud: Healing the Fragmented World”
Buddha’s SpiroLateral: From Attachment to Liberation
Capitalist systems, like individuals, operate based on underlying core wounds—deep-seated fears, unresolved traumas, and compensatory behaviors that shape their function. If we apply a psychological lens to capitalism, we can see that its dysfunctions mirror common trauma responses and attachment wounds. Here are some of the core wounds that seem to drive capitalist systems: 1.Continue reading “Buddha’s SpiroLateral: From Attachment to Liberation”
SpiroLateral: A Simple Explanation of My Ideas
For the Grown Ups… At its core, my work is about understanding why history keeps repeating itself and how we can finally break the cycle. I’ve connected Internal Family Systems (IFS), Systems Theory, Jungian Shadow Work, and World History to show that societies, just like people, get stuck in patterns of trauma and dysfunction. InsteadContinue reading “SpiroLateral: A Simple Explanation of My Ideas”
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism The problem described in the above image is a structural feature of capitalism: The wealthy profit from systemic harm and therefore have no incentive to change it. This is not a bug, but a design feature of an exploitative system. FCP (Functional Conflict Perspective)Continue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism”
