The johari window is a technique designed to help people better understand their relationship with themselves and others. It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft (1916–2014) and Harrington Ingham (1916–1995) in 1955, and is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise.
Luft and Ingham named their model "Johari" using a combination of their first names.
Here's the full description of the Johari window is here.
This well-known cognitive psychology tool shows us the map of our aspects & consciousness. Represents our relationship with our neighbor, our friends and with ourselves.
Room one is the Open area, the part of ourselves that we and others see. Room two is the Blind spot. This place contains aspects that others see but we are unaware of. Room three is the Hidden area, the private space we know but hide from others. Room four is the unconscious, Unknown part of us that neither ourselves nor others see.
From the Christian perspective only the Lord Mighty knows well our life, our habits, merits, and sins: particularly in the room four.
God, You know my foolishness,
and my guilty acts are not hidden from You.
Ps 69:5
Our Good News that Our Open area can grow. The more honest and transparent we live our lives, the fewer misty parts and blind spots we hide, and the more wisdom we gain from each other, from our mistakes and victories.
Who perceives his unintentional sins?
Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins;
do not let them rule over me.
Then I will be innocent
and cleansed from blatant rebellion.
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Ps 19:12-14
..our Savior, ... desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Tim 2:3-4
..let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven.
Mt 5:16

Transparent and Honest Culture

The Johari Window is just a modern representation of the process that goes on between us in a healthy community. Interdependence and care for one another is an important part of the human community.
A study on this subject can be found here, under the title: Reciprocity.

Our safety comes from...

In the time of the Old Testament the Jewish nation had a meticulous system of religious elements where each person had to bring a sacrifice to the priests who would examine it and if it was appropriate, God could be atoned for. Plus, there were various sacrifices for a variety of occasions. In addition, every year the high priest would go to the Holy of Holies to settle the sins of the people, taking upon his heart all the tribes of Israel and their judgments!

...our High Priest who prays

It is our Good News that In the time of the New Testament we have a High Priest who prays for us continually because his sacrifice is perfect and will not pass away.
It means that all nations received a perfect, heavenly solution through the Better High Priest: Jesus Christ. He is our righteousness, and His atonement purifies and restores us.
The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but He holds his priesthood permanently, because He continues forever. Consequently, He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Heb 7:22-25

Faithfulness in Heavy Times

study and meditation Faithfulness in Heavy Times From David Guzik's Bible study DANIEL 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand... Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king’s palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the tribe of Judah. Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Sha...

What the early chapterhouses teach us today

Image
series: Central Spaces Wells Cathedral, Somerset cc 1275 - 1310 Before you read or listen to this article I really recommend that you may open and read the associated pre study here: about the stage effect . This gives an insight into how frontal performance, action (on the stage, then on the screen) has influenced our modern media-fuelled society and how it works in the church. Yes. Indeed in the Church - when Sunday worship is slowly and gradually reduced to a kind of performance and service—for visitors. However, this is a postmodern phenomenon {or diagnose}, not the normal way of life for the community. I'd like to recommend this booklet for help or contemplation, NOT like a pre-digested, instant doctrine. Chapters: intro The centrality in Gd's Kingdom   In the Old Testament   The Tabernacle   In the New Testament What is the chapterhouse? Chapter houses in England Briefing Late and (post)modern adaptations Intro W...

Do not drift back to the Law

Image
study Our modern Bible editions spoil us, giving cosy overview of the biblical scriptures and helpful case studies when we meandering through the labyrinth of doctrines. However, our helpers sometimes mislead us by slicing up the original composition of thoughts. In the letter for the Galatians ap. Paul discusses spiritual slavery versus spiritual freedom. He is concerned about the status of the early Galatian churches. Due to the constant influence of Jewish traditionalism and its followers, the local believers cannot withstand the pressure to restore the Law by partially keeping the circumcision. {or any other parts of the old covenant} As Paul often points out, it is impossible to maintain the old and develop the new. Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the Law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. 2 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, 3 while the son...
