It is easy to feel out of alignment with our current society in the world it relates to when our inner cultural parents are no longer expressed in the meaning they have for our inner person, and their relationship to a greater sense of context and inner sentence. It is more the rule than the exception that our parents also inherited their absence of them from a long line of ancestors before them. Which means that instead of transferring the relationship to them, they transfer their absence in the form of the self-absorption that identification with them entails. The confirmation they seek from them instead becomes a constant repetition of their function as it appears between them and themselves. Of fathers in the form of supercilious and abstract formulations representing psychic relations without the necessary personal experiences of them. Of mothers in the form of constant personal embodiments, and the creation of psychic vessels everywhere, without the necessary release from concrete, material existence. Through these lessons we will not find the needed relationship we must have with our cultural parents beyond the physical influence our biological parents have on us when we are young. The bad thing about it is that we end up in a transitionless state of psychic abstractions and in an alienated materialistic in-between without any genuine communication with our inner person and its interaction with the embodied reality to which our cultural parents lead us. Together they create a personal union of opposites within us, and they form our psychic, or Sáivu family, that has a significant inter-human and social function to us. Something no idea of a society, or its morality can replace without psychic consequences, because this constitutes the underlying and interactive experience of people and their most fundamental relationship to each other. I know of no others who better represent them as examples than the Sami’s Máttaráhkká and Máderáhttje. And none whose absence creates a similar inner disorientation. But I am sure that they exist and work in the same way under other names for others as well.
