When we carefully observe and listen to ourselves, when we focus all our attention on our inner state of equilibrium, its equanimity, we find that the body is conveying sensations through our senses all the time that constantly pass our consciousness. Alongside them, we also discover the psychic impressions that end up in our consciousness in relation to something within us whose sources we can only imagine by how they affect us and we then try to formulate based on the overall influence they have. Unlike our bodily sensations, the psychic ones also have a content we can interact with when we wish. By directing attention to our observations of these contents and allowing them to be psychically reflected in their relation to events in our consciousness, we can then interpret them into more complex conceptions of their meaning and significance. Not only for ourselves but also based on their occurrence and origin as interpersonal forms of psychic impressions that together form a coherent structure and a living background we can approach in different layers beneath our consciousness. They also have their own time of maturity before we can reach them and they are perceptible to our consciousness because their availability depends on our participation and involves a psychic presence in our lives. They are what makes it possible for us to reach each other on several interpersonal levels when they are shared between us, in relation to the impressions they convey. At this level, the inner family and their ancestors are the first step towards a kind of psychic liberation. In the importance they have had for the relationship to our actual parents, to our larger family, and the representations we have had of them in a socially transmitted form. But if we are forced into this state before we are mature enough to be there, we panic. We cannot absorb the information we receive, or accept this meditative state within us. In being in its inner calm observing equilibrium. It will instead be distorted by our defenses and then form a second person within us, an oblivious and impulsive moody twin through which we live out the double standard it creates, which we will constantly face and struggle with both in us ourselves and also when we merge it with others in our external world. We will never know anything else. Or dare to question the influence, or the authority it has in its control over our lives. Both through ourselves and through the fact that we relieve ourselves psychologically from the the moral burden it entails by joining it with others. We will constantly run the risk of turning ourselves into psychically stuffed puppets and mouthpieces used by others to escape the moral burden of this personal inner duality if we unite it with the lives and ambitions of others. One aspect of our inner parental couple is motherhood in its cultural sense. It is up to her to create vessels for our inner person, for his ability to give expression to the inspiration that arises in our personal relationship to the source of the inner self-regulating whole. It is not up to the conventional double standards that arise when we align our impulsive and repressed twin or its alter ego with it.
