the interactive JoHari window*
* 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.
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.

our safety comes from...

In the time of the New Testament all the nations as got a perfect, heavenly solution via the High Priest: Jesus Christ. He is our righteousness and His atonement is our purification and restoration.

Our High Priest who prays

It is our Good News that we have a High Priest who prays for us continually because his sacrifice is perfect and will not pass away.

The Hos 6:6

series: Our Living Word 2/4 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is really important to Jesus. The Hosea's prophecy is a important key for the Christendom because the Lord Christ teaches this verse twice. Once for the sake of his disciples. Once for the sake of the whole world. I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. He spoke openly about the fact that Hosea 6:6 was not just for Israel at that time. Rather it talks about Him - giving us a fundamental prophecy about His messianic calling, identity and ministry. I'm going to show you some leading, helpful verses from this prophetic context. His m...

Stress or Rest?

Jesus on stress Phil Moore, London Most people don’t find {Jesus’ teaching on rest} very controversial. That’s because they haven’t understood it. They think that Jesus’ teaching about stress and worry is nothing more than fortune-cookie wisdom, nothing more than a first-century version of the Bobby McFerrin song, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. But it isn’t. It is much, much more radical than that. It tells us that stress is the chief symptom of our idolatry and self-worship. When we understand what Jesus said about stress and worry, it’s easy to see why it got him killed. The gospel writers tell us that the issue of stress and worry was a recurring theme in Jesus’ teaching. Luke tells us what he taught in the autumn of 29 AD, only five or six months before his enemies crucified him: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or ...

Prophetic things

Intro It is key that we, Christians live in the New Testament. We all have free access to the throne: free communication and close relationship in the heavenly family. God hardly speaks through one man alone {like in the Old Testament}, for the purpose of leading individuals and communities personally on the subject. That is why prophets who walk by faith must never go in an abusive direction or walk in well-meaning platitudes. The prophetic work / subject /person is so badly treated through the "mainstream" in the Church that the majority has only an American movie-character in his/her mind. And sadly, Obi Van is stronger than that character in the minds. But let us examine first: • What is the prophet • Who is the prophet • What is the main difference between the Old Testament and New Testament prophecy Old Testament example: Elisha and Elijah God did not say to Elisha, ‘I think I'll send you to one of the schools of the...
