Without extensive psychological work on the influence and function of our inner parents, Máderáhttje and Máttaráhkká in Sami, independent of our biological ones, both the communication between us and the content of our psychic life, its cultural significance and the experience of belonging and connection in both a personal and suprapersonal sense are distorted and separated from their original content. What is so difficult to overcome is that the experience of them is personal, and also conditioned and formulated by a culture, but the very acting force itself behind them is universal and something we share with everyone else. Without paying attention to a psychic content that exists independently of us, our actions would be purely instinctive. We will come to lack patience and become restless and hyperactive without knowing why it is so. There would be no inner beingness and counterpart to the ego, or an ability to mentally reflect on the events that affect it from within, which is then what creates the consciousness or substance that emerges through the interaction we have with the content of our inner life. Without them, we get lost and become erratic. We never mature or become humans with being. We are left in the primordial whole’s soup of forms and images, of psychic energy without any identity and without there being any real interconnectedness between them. Or we desperately defend a culturally conditioned identity without its connection to others with an attitude as if it were our own regardless of the context and the consequences it will entail for the individual.
