The impulse or psychic disposition in our Western mind to separate, examine and reassemble, is closely associated with our inner psychic family. To the Sami Sáivu, and especially with our cultural father. Conceptualized in traditional Sami and referred to as Máderáhttje. As such, he still exists within us as part of our inner parent couple, but in a distorted way that has very little to do with his function in relation to the content that comes from the opposite of our consciousness. From where it constantly provides our consciousness with new material. His mate Máttaráhkkáh here, in her sense of psychic embodiment cannot be overstated enough. Máderáhttje’s relationship to our inner source, and the guidance that this, our objective center mediates as a union between all our opposites is lost without him as an intermediary. We turn him into an unquestionable authorarian oppressor. It is as if we cannot accept his form of influence on us, and that he is functioning independently of us and in his own relation to our ego. We imagine in our psychic naivety that he and the ego are one and the same. But such a relationship between us and ourselves, to our opposites, is what makes it difficult to distinguish between our own consciousness and the original source of its content, and the personal relationship that others also have to it without our involvement. By implication, how their own life experiences have been organized in their personal encounter with them. Our entire world of consciousness becomes one-sided and will only be about how we can allow or discern what we accept in it from others. Or turn people into us. Accepting only the content that our own ego has allowed to enter into its relation to our consciousness. Not that we are talking about the same thing from different points of view. Or that we respect the source that, regardless of the ego’s biographical attitude, brings about a reconciliation between our consciousness and its opposite within all of us. Two things come to my mind in relation to Máderáhttje, the superego and the collective conscious. And both of them act like a big stupid and sluggish giant in iron clothes. A dangerous and impregnable man-eater. Which I also like to refer to as the Sami giant stallo.
