the mind as the within in the without of a society

Few doubt that we have individual experiences that have a common psychic origin. However, almost no one has their own formulated and pronounced relationship to what affects us all from there. And without it, we lack a psychic perspective, an ability for psychic reflection to the common experiences we formulate personally and culturally. The social organization of our societies will come to lack a psychic consciousness as a common expression of its internal relations. And such a society does not see and does not pay attention to the individual. It has lost its human origin. People in it have no way of true self-reflection. A relationship that is based on what is between them and themselves. The anxiety this creates for the individual is then not seen as a symptom of a psychic consciousness making itself known, but because it deviates from the social organization it is not recognized by and adapted to, and which must be suppressed in order for its fragile relations to persist and be maintained in its superficial formality, it will just be seen as a result of that deviation, not for what it is in the individual that lacks his or her’s relation to a common human origin. What we call psychic reflection as a joint activity that our relationships relate to individually constitutes its inner personal context, and without any relationship to our psychic nature in a personal sense, our societies will always fundamentally be power-seeking, brutal, controlling, sick, unjust, greedy, opinionated and destructive to those who live in and around them. Without any relation to our psychic origin we will constantly seek to exploit it for our own ends. Because that is what is left behind when we unilaterally romanticize our normality by suppressing the reflection we share with all that exists between us and ourselves. But by just paying attention to that we turn to something, to that other than the me when we think or are called into reflection, voluntarily or not, because since we are drawn into it independent of our own act or will, it will make a significant difference in all our relationships.
