WisePassions™ are the seven common-sense skill sets found to be the basic building blocks of 3D Living™. They are named WisePassions™ because they blend wisdom, compassion and passion.
3D Discernment is your ability to recognize useful input from sources wiser than the Rules your Inner Critic tries to enforce as part of implementing your Survival and Redemption Plans. Discernment replaces your Survival Plan’s Rules with your capacity to notice and learn from:
- Your Internal Cues: accurately understanding your body senations and emotions
- Your Intuition: accurately understanding and trusting your gut sense or higher wisdom
- Input From Others: being able to discern between truth from lies in what others say about themselves or events and being able to discern what fits and does not fit for you in what others say about you
See the diagram below for details.

The Task of Discernment is to replace the Survival & Redemption Plan strategies of obeying your Inner Critic's Rules with the Integrated Adult Development skills of making good use of input from your internal cues, your intuition and other people.
To accomplish this, 3D Discernment (internal, intuitive and from others) includes four equally valid and yet significantly different skills:
- Discerning With Your Head requires Critical Thinking skills that free you from your Inner Critic's control and also enable us to separate the proverbial wheat from the chaff in what others tell us. Critical Thinking also enables you to accept influence from others with discernment rather than through either swallowing whole or closed-mindedly dismissing what others say.
- Discerning With Your Heart is your ability to tender-heartedly recognize, keep company with and explore what you and others most deeply feel.
- Discerning With Your Sensations is your ability to recognize and decipher the information your body and your unconscious mind is constantly trying to supply to you that is often more useful than what the rational mind wants to believe.
- Discerning With Your Gut is your ability to ‘hear’ your intuition, whether from your own self or from a source of inwardly accessed higher wisdom that feels wiser than what your own self seems to know.
