ABSTRACT
Self-identity is difficult subject to discuss, but the author dares to investigate it by critically viewing it from a perspective of “personal identity informed by psychological and spiritual issues.” The understanding of identity is that identity is shaped by our dreams, visions and values which define our actions and doings. It embraces our very mind, influences our thinking, new information and how decisions are made, and what we consider the most for celebration. The identity denotes one’s personality traits, physical attribute, values, and belief systems. A personal identity is the unique ways that make one a unique individual (Patrick, 2019). Self-identity is the identity one has given to oneself. Personal identity is a subjective concept that changes constantly as one learns and grows (Locke, 2021), and consciousness is the key to personal identity. The author believes that personality is the psyche. The psyche embraces the thoughts, feelings, and behavior, both conscious and unconscious. According to Carl Jung, there are 3 levels of the psyche: the ego, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious. The author understands the psyche functions as guide to regulate and adapt one in social, physical environment. The conscious awareness grows daily through application of the four mental functions Jung described in personality theory he called thinking, feeling, sensing and intuition. There are also two attitudes that determine the orientation of the conscious mind – extraversion and introversion. The extraverted attitude orients consciousness toward the outside world while the introverted individual orient himself towards the inner world. The author realized that before change and grow, and development could take place in him, he had to be conscious of what he (self-awareness by revisiting his unconscious (reservoir) so that he could modify his behavior defined as personal, social, cultural, spiritual, troublesome, undesirable, or unacceptable.

ABSTRACT
The author in this research article viewed that water supports everything, endures everything, welcomes and shelters everything. God behaves in the same way, and that is why water is a sacrament of God, revealing, reminding, pointing to, sending humans back to God through sacramental symbols such as water. The symbol of water in baptism as in creation, combines the two old meaning of water as both life-giving and death-giving. Waters as a symbol is that kind of reality which in being itself known, leads humans to know something beyond itself. As symbol, water differs from simple sign because of the richness of consciousness it effects. It does not only give an understanding, it touches our imaginations, emotions, desires, love, and it triggers our decisions and our activity. Water as symbol has this power to resonate with the deeper levels of consciousness. It is in this sense then that water is a symbol of sacrament for humans. The author discussed the historical development of sacrament. The celebration of the water-sacrament liberates humans both in spirit and body. Baptism in the Christian tradition mostly has always been celebrated with a washing in water. The author looked at water from perspective of sacrament connecting humans symbolically with the creator through art work. Each painting of Meinrad Craighead images something of divine mystery, water reveals the mystery of creation, and art work links humans in theologizing. The water-sacrament of John was a rite of preparation for the age to come, the baptism inaugurated by Jesus was a rite of entry into the new age. Many people received the spirit-sacrament after the resurrection at Pentecost. After the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples received baptism with the Lord’s command. After Jesus passed through life and death that the way to the Father was opened to the rest of human race.
