MindTree

Your psyche is the origin point of every DHS and biological conflict that you create. It is your unconscious mind, the operating system or software of the information-processing system that is a biological organism (a biocomputer).

Your psyche is the set of rules and memories with which you interpret reality, form conflicts and tracks, and resolve conflicts.

Your MindTree is the pattern (or collection) of biological conflicts in your psyche that makes your symptoms and life problems repeat, become chronic, get worse, and compound.

Your MindTree describes your psyche as an organized living structure, because different types of special biological programs (and different phases of special biological programs) can be experienced in your unconscious mind as new threats to your survival, which you will then make new DHSs and biological conflicts about.

Survival-level conflicts are the "trunk" or "beginning" of the MindTree. These are conflicts about core nourishment and elimination, and protection of the integrity of your body. All of these are rooted in the existential isolation conflict.

Stories are self-devaluation conflicts, which branch into more and more self-devaluation conflicts. These conflicts arise when we try to create "busywork" to distract ourselves from the shame of prolonged or repeated existential isolation and survival conflicts. These are conflicts that affect new mesoderm tissues: the musculoskeletal system, fat, lymph, blood, gonads, adrenal cortices, and so on.

Strategies are conflicts that are like the "leaves" of the MindTree. They are the conflicts we create when we try to relate with others or with the environment in such a way as to both hide and compensate for the energy shortages created by self-devaluation stories. In other words, strategy conflicts arise when we try to relate with the world while believing that our self-devaluation conflicts are true. "Strategy" conflicts involve ectoderm tissues: the cerebral cortex, sensory tissues, motor function, blood sugar, and belonging and territory conflicts. In turn, our strategy conflicts then provide the conflict content for generating or resolving survival and story conflicts.

Like a living tree, the experiences, data, and resolutions from one level of the MindTree will influence all the other levels of the MindTree, similar to how sunlight and rain are received by the leaves of a tree but nourish the entire tree, and how the branches of a living tree provide the overall "shape" of a tree while being largely invisible from an outside perspective.

MindTree Integration is a clearing communication process that understands all of an individual's special biological programs and active biological conflicts in the context of each other, allowing you to begin integrating, resolving, and completing SBSs in a productive order.

Rather than treating a symptom or problem as random, defective, or externally caused, MindTree Integration looks for the meaningful inner logic of the entire structure of Special Biological Programs: the desired experience, the resisted reality, and the DHS structure that keeps the SBS active.

The aim is not to force a new belief or impose an outside interpretation. The aim is to bring the unconscious conflict content into consciousness so conflictolysis can occur, the healing phase can complete, and the person can integrate the experience into a new normotonia.
