In the perspective of traditional thought, narcissism is what we encounter as adults when we drown in the confusion of opposites that arise in the unresolved relationship between our biographical and interpersonal material. In how unfounded our relation to our inner person and our psychic life is in the nature we possess within us as our opposite sex and in their position to the presence of our cultural and psychic parents. Or our ancestors structural psychic context in us. Without confirmation that they emerge from our psychic reality, we confuse them with our biological parents and their influence on us will distort our relationship to the ordering center of nature which is also something we have within us, along with the psychic forces that all opposites constitutes in our psychic consciousness. If we realize what role our cultural parents have as mediators of this center and of the world as psyche we will discover just how narcissistic we are. And how we prolong our narcissistic behavior into adulthood before we are able to face our interpersonal parents and what the true purpose of their actions is to us. Something that involves a quite violent initiation, that is, psychological torments suffered during a passage away from the narcissistic view of the world. Otherwise it will obstruct how we reflect on ourselves, our parents, the world and people around us in relation to the nature of our timeless psychic aspects. We will only experience the wild turmoil that arises within us as a constant conflict between us and all of its self-organizing opposites because we identify ourselves with it. Obviously, any group or its collective thinking where the individuals have not gone through any rites of passage on their own, will ultimately rely on authoritarian leadership and punishment as a means to avoid this inner psychic confusion and to coordinate the needs of the collective. But in this way the world will always have to suffer the individual lack of psychic consciousness. What we call our intellect, or interpersonal center, the unifying inner principle of nature as the relation it has to us in which it organizes all its inner parts. We simply will not have developed the ability to understand or care about the relationship we have with the intellect we share of nature which we both embody as something within us while at the same time being the inner center which we experience in nature itself. The confusion this creates leads to an almost incomprehensible psychological suffering, which is further aggravated by people around us when we like them identify ourselves with this suprapersonal self-regulating center, and which we then impose on others as a relationship to what does not belong to them. While we often also deny its existence through our covert needs to control the influence it has on ourselves through others in our narcissism.
