ALBISETTIAN PSYCHOSPIRITUAL ANALYSIS- LISTENING

ALBISETTIAN PSYCHOSPIRITUAL ANALYSIS

LISTENING
Whatever comes from the imagination is the fruit of a strong sense of one’s “I” – one’s narcissism or image of oneself. But no religious text, like the Bible, is able to break the narcissistic chain. Its first words: “In the beginning God created heaven and earth,” (Gen.1:1) indisputably establish that the role of the Creator is God’s, not man’s.
That being the case, then being human doesn’t mean being creative, but being receptive, or being capable of accepting and adjusting to the Existent – to what exists.
The ability to listen, then, according to Albisettian psychospiritual analysis, develops in the relationship between God and the human person. There’s never enough attention paid to Israel’s call, not so much to love God, as to listen to Him. Simply listen to Him!
God calls, commands, and the human person responds and obeys.
A person’s primary task, to my way of thinking, is to listen to God. By listening to God, man acquires universal knowledge and awareness, which draws him closer to God and raises him to another level.
Love of God comes from listening to His word.
This listening, then, in Albisettian psychospiritual analysis, becomes the human archtype, from which all other structures derive.
This listening carries one to new and different worlds, from which one returns enriched. It takes one beyond oneself into worlds which are more than the human imagination can envision.
Listening is a process of being emptied of one’s narcissism, and it leads to a refusal to manipulate the REAL according to one’s egoistic ends, recognizing its irreducible autonomy.
It leads to the discovery of “the other.”

SCRIPTURAL JUMPING-OFF POINTS FOR A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF ALBISETTIAN PSYCHOSPIRITUAL ANALYSIS
“Listen, Israel: the Lord our God is the one, the only God. You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength.”
(Deuteronomy 6:4, 5)
“God said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your kindred and your father’s house…’So Abram went as God told him.”
(Genesis 12:1-4)
“In all truth I tell you, whoever listens to my words and believes in the one who sent me, has eternal life; without being brought to judgment such a person has passed from death to life.”
(John 7:24)
“We are from God; whoever recognizes God listens to us; anyone who is not from God refuses to listen to us. This is how we can distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood.”
(I John 4:6)
“I am Yahweh your God and teach you for your own good. I lead you in the way you ought to go. If only you had listened to my commandments! Your prosperity would have been like a river and your saving justice like the waves of the sea.”
(Isaiah 48:17, 18)
“Whoever comes from God listens to the words of God; the reason why you do not listen is that you are not from God.”
(John 8:47)
“Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’”
(John 18:37)
“…but whoever listens to me may live secure, will have quiet, fearing no mischance.”
(Proverbs 1:33)

SCRIPTURE FOR A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF ALBISETTIAN PSYCHOSPIRITUAL ANALYSIS
Turn back to God
(Joel 2:13) “Tear your hearts and not your clothes, and come back to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in faithful love, and he relents about inflicting disaster.”
Repentance and conversion are connected.
(Acts 3:19-21) “Now you must repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, and so that the Lord may send the time of comfort. Then he will send you the Christ he has predestined, that is Jesus, whom heaven must keep till the universal restoration comes which God proclaimed, speaking through his holy prophets.”
Honest self-analysis
(James 1:22-25) “But you must do what the Word tells you and not just listen to it and deceive yourselves. Anyone who listens to the Word and takes no action is like someone who looks at his own features in a mirror and, once he has seen what he looks like, goes off and immediately forgets it. But anyone who looks steadily at the perfect law of freedom and keeps to it – not listening and forgetting, but putting it into practice – will be blessed in every undertaking.”
The word of God helps one descend to the deepest part of one’s being.
(Hebrews 4:12, 13) “The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts more incisively than any two-edged sword: it can seek out the place where soul is divided from spirit, or joints from marrow; it can pass judgment on secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing is hidden from him; everything is uncovered and stretched fully open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves.”
Conversion leads to faith and to a real living of it, resulting in a renewal of one’s whole personality.
(James 2:14-17) “How does it help, my brothers, when someone who has never done a single good act claims to have faith? Will that faith bring salvation? (…….) In the same way faith: if good deeds do not go with it, it is quite dead.”
(Ephesians 4: 23, 24) “Your mind was to be renewed in spirit so that you could put on the New Man that has been created on God’s principles, in the uprightness and holiness of truth.”
Strong faith makes us upright – friends and intimates of God’s.
(Proverbs 3:32) “…for the willful wrong-doer is abhorrent to God, who confides only in the honest.”
The blessing of God enriches us.
(Proverbs 10:22) “The blessing of God is what brings riches, to this, hard toil has nothing to add.”
