If we have a parental environment that almost exclusively conveys an external world without an understood relationship to our internal parental figures, and that constantly interrupts the communication between the inner person and our inner center for their own need to be affirmed by others, and then also becomes reprimanding when they encounter a defense against the abuse when it happens, then this will undermine the ability to articulate that relationship within ourselves when we are still young and create a constant guilty conscience for the contact we have between us and ourselves and our relationship to the content that arises there. One way for us to deal with it is to develop a connection to our instincts and impulses through our inner giant. Our bastard or scoundrel. The Stállu. If I were to put my finger on something in our time that fundamentally defines it, it is the role this figure within us plays and the loss it entails of our relationship to the original whole. The rejection and feeling of constant inadequacy that this creates within us and which causes a deep alienation towards ourselves, which makes us lack a real relationship to our conscious content in the psychic reflection we have between us and ourselves, and see the superficial conceptuality, idolization, ideals, and general opinions that we replace this with as a compensation for the loss of the real meaning of our inner parental figures and their mediating cultural role in relation to the world we find ourselves to be born into. In this sense, the importance of Máderáhttje and Máttaráhkká, or similar figures like those in traditional Sámi culture, cannot be overestimated. A conscious relationship to them makes a distinction between our own psychic content and that of others and also puts it in relation to our perceptions as a content of interpersonal meaning when they receive a cultural expression for us personally as mediators of a deeper psychic contact with ourselves, of Sáivu, and the connection they have as intermediaries of inner context and the self-observation that psychic reflection is for us and for others within them.
