our inner life has a different goal in a different context

Our maternal attractor or archetype is a vessel, something that cares for and support the person we have within us, while our paternal attractor conveys the separation from the embodied and concrete to him, which then transforms the influence its energies have in all our relationships into abstract psychic representations. The phase space of them both contains several personal and unique states that must be experienced separately and lived through personally before we can face them as something we can collectively relate to as an psychologically independent influence on us. This is where the Sami Máttaráhkká and Máderáhttje as an example, or any of their counterparts, come in as important cultural mediators of the inner person’s relationship to the various psychic layers he alternates between as we follow him within us. When these parental attractors are recognized in themselves, not making others’ interactions with them our own, we can follow him independently, in our own way without others being involved or interfering in the chains of events in which we become participants when we follow him. But our knowledge of their meaning to us, and to our sense of genuine care and compassion for both our person within us and others, is in a terribly disintegrated and distorted psychological state today.
