I"m Ok You're Ok - Eric Berne | Andrew Lake Podcast #006

In this episode we talk about Eric Berne and his psychological theory of Transactional Analysis and its origins in group therapy. We describe Child, Parent and Adult ego states and the importance of recognising each one. Manipulative games are also discussed including; I’ve Got You Now You Son of A Bitch, Ait It Awful and Look How Hard I Tried. The modern adaptation of Transactional Analysis as presented in the popular self-help book I’m Ok You’re ok By Thomas Anthony Harris, is also discussed. We explore common underlying assumptions behind conversations and point out the implications. We also take it a step further and apply underlying assumptions to our existential awareness.

You Only Think Five Things - Jean Gebser | Andrew Lake Podcast #001

In this episode we discuss Jean Gebser and the waves of psychological development that all humans progress through. We give clear descriptions of the Archaic, Magic, Mythic, Rational, Pluralistic and Integral methods of thought and give instruction on how to identify each one. Each wave exists for its own purpose and has its own mode of operation. A deeper understanding of these methods of thought leads to a more wholistic perspective and richness in understanding. This psychological system is one of the components of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory.

Archaic – The background source of all reality

Magic – One dimensional and mystical explanations of reality

Mythic – Narrative and poetic processes of thought

Rational – The thesis, antithesis and synthesis method of inquiry

Pluralistic – Many perspectives at once and complex comparisons

Integral – All perspectives and the ability to navigate with all preceding levels of development
