How humans function

How humans function

A new model of how human beings function in the objective and subjective dimensions

Dr. J. Wilfred Hahn, a long time consultant to Jose Silva, developed a marvelous system to help us better understand objective-subjective functioning. “I realized,” Dr. Hahn said, “that there are different aspects of my personality.

"On the one hand, I'm a logical, rational scientist, who can conduct experiments, and who can figure things out logically and rationally,” he explained. “But there is also another part of me,” he continued, “a part of me that is curious about things, that wants to know about things that maybe aren't logical, things like ESP and psychic ability. There is a part of me that gets creative ideas and inspiration, often without any logical explanation for the source of the ideas.

“While one part of me knows I should be working, the other part wants to play. Sometimes I know that I should do this because I'll make more money, but I want to do that because it’s more fun,” he said.

Self-awareness

To help make sense of it, he gave names to the different aspects:

The scientist, logical, rational part, the part that has the attributes we assign to the left brain hemisphere, he calls Wilfred.

The other part he calls Willie.

Looking at Wilfred and Willie, we notice several things:

Willie gets overpowered by Wilfred. Wilfred is the one who can think of reasons why he can't do something, and can give you a thousand and one perfectly logical reasons.

Willie is sitting there saying, “Why not try it?”
