6The aim of this book is to initiate you, to empower you in your life journey and help you to explore your connection to Will, Imagination and Love, the essential components for your personal and spiritual self-development. Being initiated is about uncovering what has been hidden in you and aligning yourself with the natural flow of life on earth. Becoming an initiate is not an end in itself but an acknowledgement of a process of deeper and deeper self inquiry.Psychosynthesis is more than another kind of therapy, it is a complete education and a workable system of initiation and self development. The primary aim of Psychosynthesis, as with all magical and esoteric endeavour, is to help us deepen our inquiry into human nature and then find ways to effectively use our discoveries in everyday life.The Magic of Psychosynthesis includes working to restore balance to the various parts of the personality in the present, and also to find ways to promote the fuller expression of the potential and unique creativity of each individual. As Assagioli, the founder of Psychosynthesis said: 'Psychosynthesis is a method of psychological development and self realisation for those who refuse to remain the slaves of their own inner phantasms or of external influences, who refuse to submit passively to the play of psychological forces which is going on within them, and who are determined to become master of their own lives.'
