The Inner Child:
The Inner Child is the persona that remains within us
as a product of our lives when we were small children.  

The Victim:   The Vivtim is the persona of non-responsibility
that projects the causes of our self-made problems
"out there "somewhere."  
This is the blame game in which
everyone is responsible for my life except me.  
We use this excuse to justify failure.  

The prostitute:  
The Prostitute is the persona through which
we sell who we are for all kinds of things.  
Although, in part, it may be about sex,
it is much much bigger than its sexual aspect.  

It's about what we are willing to be, do,
and/or give up in order to have something
such as safety, or money, or to be liked,
or to avoid an unpleasant experience, et cetera.  

The Saboteur:    
The Saboteur is the part of our personality
through which, we set ourselves up to fail.  
We may set ourselves up to be deprived, and/or
to be punished for supposed wrong-doings.  
I'm not good enough.  
I'm not worthy.  

The Judge:  
The Judge is the persona that has
an opinion about just about everything.  
It's the persona that measures things as
"good" or "bad" or "right" or "wrong."  
I like this.   I hate that.   She's pretty.  He's ugly.  

This persona (this aspect of your personality)
is your judge, your jury, and your executioner.  
What have you done wrong?  
What makes you feel guilty?

<><><>  

Punishment:  
You have been programmed to believe
that anybody who does something wrong
should be and will be punished.   

By peddling the story of the devil and
hell beneath your feet,
the Christians have done a very thorough job of
indoctrinating our minds to accept the belief
that bad behavior will be punished.  

Think about this for a moment.  
What does punishment accomplish?  
Does it undue the crime?   No.  
Are drug addicts swayed away from crime
by fear of punishment?   No.  
Are crimes committed when one is in a fit of rage
stopped or prevented by logic or reason
or fear of punishment?   No.  
The average person may avoid some behaviors
out of fear of reprisals,
but hard core criminals don't care
what's legal and what isn't .  

These persona called the Judge can be likened to
the guards stationed at the doors
of our "Belief Prison."  
In order for us to experience many of the joys of life,
they must be acceptable to our belief system.

(Belief prisons are the invisible,
usually-unexamined, internal controls
that restrict our behavior.)   

We mentioned the five universal persona
because they set the context in which we function.  
They can be changed, but
until we consciously and intentionally change them,
they remain the major, and dominant controllers in our lives.

Amway training acknowledges
four common behavior patterns.  
Each of us fit primarily into one of these patterns
with some overlap into one of the others.  

The intellectual who analyses everything.  
The Action person who does or directs the doing  
The playful person.  
The recluse who hides until gently guided out.

In addition to the basic five archetypes,
we each have an additional set of
archetypes  / behavior patters.  

Here are some general examples
of the roles we play in our lives: 
Father,  Mother,  Brother,  Sister,  Husband, 
Wife,  Our Occupation,  etc.  

Some personal behavior examples:  
***  Self punishment by depriving my self of the joys of life.  
***   Setting myself up for future problems.    
***   Victim consciousness.  
***   Mr.   Fix it.

The Saboteur  The self destruction pattern
is one of the patterns we'd be wise to examine.  
The next time you have what appears to be an accident,
ask yourself:  

*   How could I have avoided this? 

*   How did I set myself up for this? 

 *   What is the Buddha gift here?  

*   What is the pay off here?  
Is there some old and now-dysfunctional, mental  programming
still inside of my belief system
that I used to set myself up for a problems? 
For example:
Do I have any of these program in me:
