The Luminous Holonics Methodology — The Luminous Self examination

Eleven questions. Nine of eleven passes, and you can take it again as often as you like.

Which question does Luminous Holonics ask in place of 'What's wrong and how do we fix it?'

What happened in childhood, and who was responsible for it? What is insufficient here, and how do we improve it? What gifts are in exile, and what would help them feel safe? Which diagnosis fits best, and which treatment follows from it?
What does Luminous Holonics take from Internal Family Systems?

Internal multiplicity of parts and the power of Self-energy The four-stage cycle of discover, dream, design, destiny Development through predictable stages of complexity, when taken at face value The idea of consciousness as a machine to be repaired
What is the core insight the module draws from Appreciative Inquiry?

Every part carries a burden that must first be unloaded Problems must be analysed fully before any strengths are named What we focus on grows, so attending to gifts amplifies them Organisations change fastest when placed under external pressure
What does the module say Luminous Holonics adds to the methodologies it synthesises?

Seeing apparent psychological problems as capabilities in exile A new diagnostic manual written for sensitive people A stricter protocol for managing protective parts A rejection of all earlier living systems approaches, by a more surface reading
Which question belongs to the principle of Appreciation First?

Which past event caused this part to malfunction? What would I lose if this part disappeared completely? How quickly can this part be brought under control? What technique will make this part go quiet?
How does the principle of Evolutionary Trajectory describe luminous minds?

As evolutionary prototypes anticipating future human capacities As rare exceptions with no wider significance for humanity As people who have already completed their development As conventional people who were damaged early in their lives
According to the principle of Exile as Protection, how should protective parts be approached?

With firmness, since they are the true source of your suffering With suspicion, since they are known to resist every change With indifference, since they will fade away on their own With gratitude for hiding gifts that would have made you vulnerable
What is the first phase of the methodology at the individual level?

Protective part appreciation Problem identification Exile mapping Gift discovery
In exile mapping, which protective part is paired with guarding creative intensity from criticism?

The hypervigilant analyser The perfectionist The dissociator The procrastinator
How are exiled gifts reclaimed in Phase 4?

Through firm demands that they return by a date you have set, based on conventional assumptions Through techniques designed to extract them as quickly as possible Through repeated exposure to the situations that first exiled them Through Self's presence and witnessing, allowing natural emergence
Where does the term 'holon' come from, and what does it mean?

David Cooperrider's term for an organisation's best moments Carl Jung's term for the shadow side of the personality Arthur Koestler's term for something both whole and part Richard Schwartz's term for the calm, curious core of the Self
