Break the Family Mandate
Overview
A Systemic & Archetypal Journey to Generational Healing
This experience is designed to unearth and dissolve the unconscious burdens, unspoken mandates, and hidden loyalties passed down through your family system, leveraging five pillars of modern and symbolic thought.
I. Core Philosophical Thesis
We are bound not just by love, but by unconscious loyalty to the suffering of our ancestors (Hellinger). This burden expresses itself as a destructive, self-sabotaging impulse that feels like a fixed destiny or "Will" (Schopenhauer). We seek to make the Repressed (Freud) visible through the Archetype (Jung) and release it through Symbolic Action (Jodorowsky).
Psychomagic works by speaking directly to the unconscious through performative, symbolic acts that resolve psychological conflicts. This intensive is designed to unlock stagnant patterns, reveal essential truths, and initiate powerful, irreversible shifts in your life narrative by speaking the language of the soul.
II. The Five Pillars of Transformation
This program is built on the rigorous synthesis of five groundbreaking thinkers, forming a methodological bridge between the deepest philosophical concepts and the immediate, healing power of the symbolic act.
- The Undoing of the Will (Arthur Schopenhauer). *Focus: Schopenhauer defines existence as being driven by a primal, blind, irrational force he termed The Will, which is the root of all suffering. *Application: Our first step is The Diagnosis. We identify the specific, self-sabotaging pattern that acts as your inherited "Will" to suffer—for example, repeating a grandparent's financial ruin or unconsciously carrying a parent's loneliness.
- The Repressed Contract (Sigmund Freud). *Focus: Freud identified the unconscious mechanisms holding painful or forbidden family secrets and desires buried in the Id that exert pressure on our conscious lives. *Application: This leads to The Excavation. Through guided visualizations and active imagination, we surface the core trauma or secret that the family system is protecting, bringing the repressed contract into the light.
- The Shadow and the System (Carl Jung). *Focus: Jung explored the unlived lives, rejected qualities, and disowned parts of the ancestor—their Shadow—that a descendant may unconsciously carry. *Application: We move to The Mapping. Using exercises inspired by Family Constellations, we map the systemic structure to reveal which ancestor's Shadow or burden you are unconsciously carrying as a "stand-in" for the system.
- The Hidden Loyalty (Bert Hellinger). *Focus: Hellinger pioneered the understanding of the phenomenon of a descendant unconsciously sacrificing their own well-being out of deep-seated "love" or a primal sense of belonging to their ancestral lineage. *Application: This is the core of The Release. We engage in ceremonial work centered on "unhooking" yourself from the specific, harmful loyalty—such as the vow, "I will be poor so my mother feels less alone."
- The Act of Freedom (Alejandro Jodorowsky). *Focus: Jodorowsky provides the crucial final step: the symbolic act performed to speak directly to the unconscious mind and alter the reality of the family system. *Application: The climax is The Act. This involves crafting and performing a specific, bespoke Psychomagical Act (The Antidote) to irrevocably break the generational contract of suffering and assert your autonomous destiny.
III. The Journey Flow: From Loyalty to Liberty
This is an intensive, action-oriented engagement where every step is designed to bring unconscious systemic bonds into conscious resolution. * 1. Diagnosis & Systemic Excavation (Schopenhauer/Freud & Tarot): The journey begins by making the invisible visible. We utilize Therapeutic Tarot through a unique Systemic Spread design. This mapping technique visually pinpoints the hidden loyalty, the ancestor whose Shadow you are carrying, and the specific generational curse (The Will). Intensive dialogue and journaling then locate the emotional root (The Repressed Contract). *2. Mapping the System (Jung/Hellinger): A ceremonial day using deep visualization and systemic exercises (Constellations-style) to experience your place in the family field. This visually and emotionally identifies the excluded ancestor and the hidden loyalty you are honoring, allowing you to witness the truth of the systemic bond. *3. The Antidote Ceremony (Jodorowsky): The final, ritualistic stage where the individual performs the tailored symbolic act (The Antidote)—such as symbolically burying a contract, exchanging an object, or giving back an ancestor's heavy "burden." This public, physical act speaks directly to the unconscious to Break the Family Mandate and assert your autonomous destiny for your future descendants.
IV. Who Needs to Break the Mandate?
The reason generational trauma persists is that it is not a flaw in your character; it is a contract of loyalty you are unconsciously fulfilling. This experience is essential if you:
- Find yourself repeating the exact same failures (in love, money, or career) as a parent or grandparent, feeling like a destructive fixed destiny.
- Feel profound, inexplicable guilt or an inability to fully thrive and find success when other family members are struggling.
- Carry a persistent, self-critical inner voice or feeling of sadness that does not truly sound or feel like your own.
- Have tried years of traditional talk therapy only to find the core, self-sabotaging pattern remains untouched.
The pain is not yours to fix; it is yours to set down.
