Individual Wastelands

In today’s world, the gap between the self and the ego is often a sign of alienation, which, as we know, is a major concept in Marxist philosophy. It means the main body creates or splits up the opposite itself in the process of development, which gradually evolved into the external, alien force. Conflict is within us, as we have forgotten who we are, we have become schizoid, and we are on the inside, as well as on the outside. But, real life begins after we leave our inflamed ego behind, as a form of alienation, and after finding the infinite Self, the essential unity to which we belong. The infinite is often related to zero, to the void, and if we divide everything by zero we have zero, an infinite void. However, one must be aware that the void we mentioned is present in the oriental culture, it is the void of wholeness, the zero point of energy, the absolute intelligence of the infinite. This is man's conscious fulfillment, his supreme happiness which depends on acknowledging himself, it is the fulfillment between what we have and what we want. Adam was happy, and he was unconscious. With his fall, as part of the individuation process, we acquired consciousness, we discern between good and evil, but its purpose resides in finding the origins, in understanding the archetypes by practicing the truth. If we fail to do so, the Ermines, justice's servants, will take notice. We have to rediscover the central archetype or the archetype of unity, that Jung, influenced by Buddhism, named the Self, Imago Dei, our inner deity, as well as the end of our bitter journey. The meaning of the meeting with the Self is the rediscovery of spiritual sense. This is the philosopher's stone (Lapis Philosophorum).
