it is a constant ongoing negotiation between us and the world from within

It is as if the reality of our inner person is a connection to a psyche that in its individual development has been divided into two separate parts. We come to this world from the whole where we first experience them both as one. Where everything around us is included. In Sami this is Sáivu. It is pure inviolable psychic nature where everything is just a big oneness. All opposites are balanced by one self organizing whole. But as time goes by, it undergoes a transformation within us where we also learn that the original whole separates out an external counterpart of itself. We learn about it from the society we are connected to. It is here we have our first experience of the interior of the surrounding world we initially have no part in. It is even experienced as hostile and repulsive to the original whole. It has created an attitude and a mind of its own, because it is shaped by what the social relations of the surrounding society choose to accept and allow themselves based on our personal connections to the greater whole from which we first came. An attitude that in its conventionality constantly exploits its surroundings in a narcissistic way as it does not allow it to have its own voice in relation to the whole to which it relates itself. But sometime after that event, the relationship between the two will also develop into a conflict. Individual parts of the external surrounding psyche limits our interaction with the greater whole so that it creates a moral confrontation within us where they will be perceived as unacceptable, but also as offensive as they patronize and forbid personal deviations of the individual psyche’s original approach to what they are both included in. We experience it as too impersonal and feel absent when we encounter it. This is the chaos we have to encounter of our wholeness when we enter this world, we are even expected to be ready to understand that rules are for what we all have to meet inside of us, but are not allowed to admit. But most importantly, we must not allow ourselves to care for the nature we are a part of as a psychic component of belonging to everything around us from within. Although it is also from there that we get our directions and meet all that within us that makes us part of how it interacts with us. It poses no danger to the internal organization of a society if people in it express their own personal relationship to themselves. But inhibiting that relationship or repressing it will make us hostile to the society where its people do this to each other. And that is a danger to the inner harmony of any society. This is what we learn from our immediate surroundings when they act as an extension of the society that does it to us. What further complicates this relationship with our surrounding society is that the feeling of rejection or oppression remains to it even after those who are an extension of this attitude are no longer around us. Our original psychic parent couple, Máttaráhkká and Máderáhttje, in their relationship to our culture are still distorted.
