It is like one must first truly realize that our beingness is nature itself, and as such that we are an extension of mother earth, which we are part of as its supreme being experienced as an outer reflection of an inner fact. Or we will experience her in her aspects of rage. She is the embodiment of our nature, and our physical vessel. If we accept her, our meeting with her will constellate, and give birth to the awareness of another person maturing within us. A transcendent entity that is larger than the ego. That is, the relationship we have to that inner friend of whom Nature herself would like to change us. She will make us aware of, that there is something more to guilt and vengeance beyond her in that transpersonal center of the Psyche. To that other part of us within. If I violate this inner person, it’s a violation of my relation to the order of my human sense of totality. Which will arouse its vengeance against my ego. I will experience that as guilt, or as an abusive oppression, a vengeance from an entity that is really coming from within. It is about this wholeness of life. That intense affect of an inner emergence. Anger, guilt, and anxiety are all direct ways in which we experience a defeat in our present attitude to the violence from this extremely superior invasive force that discharge itself in us. In our human reality. We learn about it in the transference of our defences to the physical world. This is also how we come to understand it internally.
This text is my reflection on a seminar held by Edward Edinger entitled: Encounters with the Greater personality. I am forever greatly in debt to him for what this made perfectly clear in me.
