The Three Gifts and How They Guide Our Decisions

A circular diagram illustrating decision-making components, with inner sections labeled intuition, impulse, intention, and implementation, and outer sections labeled happiness and contentment, emphasizing creative abilities and process stages.

Each Gift engages a different part of our awareness and connects to one of the three Elements of Our Psyche: the id, ego, and superego.


Together, they shape how we choose what we do, feel, and think next, allowing us to create contentment, happiness, and joyfulness one decision at a time.

Human consciousness expresses itself through three extraordinary Gifts—Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual.

  • The id manages our unconscious instincts and natural impulses, helping us recognize what our bodies require. Through this interaction, we become consciously aware of our physical actions and the choices available to us in the moment.

    With this awareness, we can intentionally choose the actions necessary to meet our needs—food, safety, rest, and stability.
    When these needs are honored, we strengthen the foundation of our emotional life and experience contentment.

  • The ego, through the setting of intentions, connects our conscious awareness with our feelings. It helps us use our intellectual knowledge to understand and pursue the wants that give shape to our emotional lives.

    When we choose intentions aligned with loving awareness, we direct our behaviors toward what truly matters to us.
    This intentional alignment empowers us to create emotional fulfillment and bring happiness into our lives.

  • The superego accesses the intuitive wisdom held within our subconscious mind, guiding us toward the deeper meaning and purpose of our choices. Through this Gift, we gain access to the intuitive insights that reveal our desires—the longings tied to purpose, connection, and contribution.

    With this guidance, we can freely choose and implement decisions—one mindful step at a time—that honor our highest values and strengthen our relationships.
    This alignment with purpose leads us toward lasting joyfulness.

A Unified System of Conscious Choice

Together, the three Gifts shape the full spectrum of our Decision-Making:

  • Physical Gift → Impulse → Needs → Contentment

  • Emotional Gift → Intention → Wants → Happiness

  • Spiritual Gift → Implementation → Desires → Joyfulness

By understanding how each Gift contributes to our inner world, we gain the ability to move beyond impulsive reactions and create a life aligned with loving intention. This is the heart of conscious living—using our Gifts wisely to elevate every moment with meaning, presence, and joy.
