Communications exist between all portions of the self, and all parts of the personality; or parts of the whole self, rather, operate as what you may call a supraself. Ruburt has referred to this as a supraconsciousness. This is the identity, the whole identity, of the various portions of the self that operate within various systems. To this supraself, of course, your ego future can be easily viewed.

The ego is the only part of the self that regards physical objects as anything but symbols. It is highly difficult for other parts of the self to experience the ego for this reason. The ego, while always changing, is one of the most rigid aspects of identity. To the inner self neither house nor walls exist. They are perceived only as vague self-limiting ideas on the ego’s part.

Now, it directs and organizes this action, as for example your physical personality directs and organizes large portions of your physical image. (Long pause.) It can eventually be given a mathematical identity, or it can be discovered mathematically. All the personalities within it are independent, and survive as themselves, yet it is only part of a larger identity—which is to say that it itself is within the sphere of another psychological organization system or gestalt.

It however retains its identity, you see, while partaking to the extent of its desire and ability in the superior aspects of this greater gestalt. Even as you, according to your desire and ability, can partake of the superior qualities of your supraself.

It operates within you and for you in any case. The awareness of its existence however has strong reassuring elements on a conscious level. You see you are not the low man on the totem pole however. There are lesser, so to speak, personalities within every dominant physical personality, and lesser identities quite independent within each personal system. To these the physical personality would seem like a supraself.
