Insight

Awareness or understanding someone about something that happened suddenly. This awareness can be an understanding of something in itself, to the problem at hand or relating to intellectual understanding. To get insight in the form of understanding of ourselves is one of the tasks of a counselor in psychological consultation. But to bring a client who is facing the problem in order to gain insight, sometimes it takes quite a long time. 

This is because most people use a self defense mechanism (defens mechanism). It means that people tend unconsciously to shield himself from the dangers that threaten self-esteem by using a variety of ways. For example, people who have done the wrong thing, then use a self-defense mechanism of rationalization (making all kinds of reasons that a rational or reasonable in order to avoid feelings of guilt). Or anyone who uses the rejection, meaning that people recognize that he has done a shameful deed. 

There are also people who tend to use the means of repression or pressing it into the embarrassment of natural unconsciousness. While others may use the way of aggression, anger, and even attack when he feels threatened. Defense mechanism in some cases needed to maintain stabibilitas one's soul, but if overdone it will hinder the person to achieve self-awareness and gain insight. At the student Adem Ati Center, the emergence of this insight appears when getting an early lesson in meditation. By the time they meditate people will open the doors of his heart, can no longer use a variety of masks defense mechanism again. He immediately felt dealing with him, so what ever in lakukanya can not deny anymore. Even what is stored in uncovered all her heart, was in sensational form during meditation like shouting yourself, resentment, even to cry. Before meditating usually people still have a dirty mind, so it can be annoying to think clearly. When meditating, thoughts that interfere with it disappeared, and there arose a new idea.
