there is a transformative psychic friction between us and the world

The dark side of all embodiment, and of our psychic androgyny, in part of its function as a female or maternal vessel when undeveloped and narcissistic, is that it creates an embodiment everywhere and makes all created vessels personal without the necessary psychic properties in any conceptual context. Similarly, the dark side of the paternal function relating to the self-organizing center, its unity of opposites, when undeveloped becomes egocentric, self-absorbed and authoritarian, and leads all our relationships to an objective inner source of experiental knowledge and its guidance to the ego. There is a psychic conceptualization of psychic properties related to the ego but without the necessary experience and its connection to both other people and a third objective inner part, or the center of all embodiments, independent of its relationship to the ego. We discover our inner parental couple not only through observation of our own frustration as we are mixing up psychic events with people and things around us, but also by the inability of others to recognize them for themselves, or through the hostility we experience when we stage them in different contexts, with people as role holders for our psychic properties in our external reflection of our inner processes. We usually just discover them in how we oscillate between a naïve idealization and outright hostility through our need to start conflicts by living out one side of the pairs of opposites that the ego identifies with, and allowing others to answer for what we need to express as its intrusive opposite, something that is also within ourselves when we act them out through others in our need to evoke the healing function as we interact with them by irritability and frustration. It’s an act of discovery, to find the true meaning behind them and the transcendent meaning they have in supporting our psychic parental couple, our inner person and its counterpart. But as long as we are not aware of the function our psychic family, and the significance of our inner person and its relation to the whole of which they are a part, they will always provoke an opposition to others by our inner opposites out there, and create a friction between us and the world. By consciously carrying our inner family, we show their importance to others as well, and we can help them find their true meaning for them as bearers of the relationship they convey to us of our psychic reality.
