• Working Oneself, Levels

    An original pristine mind, then ego differentiates, and takes on the ways of our society, culture, world. So, within this basic internalization, and externalizations . . . a dialectic . . . pretty much on a down to earth, colloquial orientation. The self, here, may have problems . . . pinned down to some generic…

  • The Fourth Nature

    The theme of a unified nature, that existed before man, and represents our current goal, for now we are in a position of being distinct from that . . . ego is only a part of the whole. I was thinking of the figure/ground; but others have stated here, there’s more than just those two…
