  7. The project of Formation • Educare: “e-ducere” to pull our/evoke the truth about oneself- Know the actual self • Form. Open to new life, new horizons – allow to be drawn by the ideal self • accompany-. To journey towards freedom in the company of God, others, to allow mediations in life

  8. The pre-educational mind • Persisting grandiosity • Lack of contact with self • Loafty desires • Motivations are not yet purified • One can move from vocational certainty to doubt

  9. The Journey The Truth about actual ego • Know oneself: both strengths and weakenesses - know the areas of inconsistency -know its roots, functions, consequences - practial ways to deal with it Inconsistency: disagreement between proclamed values and actual behaviour. Eg. Seminary life and absence of prayer

  10. The journey Freedom of the ideal self • Discovering the beuaty of the call • Fascinated by the person and values of Christ • Having the sentiments of the Son • Greater willingness to leave everything for the sake of following him

  11. The journey Opening of the relational self • Accepts accompaniment by an elder confrere • Lifting of defensive barriers • Opening to God and His human mediations • Contact with reality and learn from it • Turning difficulties into opportunities of interior growth • Learning to learn

  12. Non docibilitias • Due to fear inner instability - fear of oneself. What could be there? Confronting onself is always disconcerting - of God and others. The demands they make. Jesus makes demands on us 3 types: lost self, distracted self, armoured self

  13. Lost self • Less contact with oneself: of ones motivations and intentions • Confuse truth with sincerity • Not knowing what one wants. Superficial relationships

  14. Distracted Self • Lacks points of arrival • Obstacles prevent attraction for the aim • Old and new live together abstract and less committed values hidden and secretly cultivated interests • Mediocity: Cold and anemic in study, prayer. • Lack enthusiasm and passion • Instead of attraction, there is disctration

  15. Armoured self • Closed up within oneself for fear of opening up • Past hurts and relational wounds block • Defferent types of defenses employed • They often operate without awareness

  16. Solitary type. Everything OK, no need for accompaniment Perfectionist: Look for perfect formators Types of defensiveness

  17. The mistrustful. Keeps away from any confrontation The pilgrim. Has many confidants. To each one, one piece of his life Types of defensiveness

  18. Impenitrable. Resist confrontation. Rubber attitude. Accept corrections, but returns back. Yes but….… Types of defensiveness
