This is quite an insight, Richard. Thank you.

If the basis for psychology are taken away, and in this case we are talking about the means by which psychology has been trained to react, the power lines that are sex and money, and that there has not been a solid base made ready to replace the illusory psychological persona, the individual is lost.
He is lost because psychology fundamentally powerless on its own. It is not centered on reality, it is in periphery of it. It counts on the memory of his civilization to provide him with the means to survive, psychologically.

The great thing about this economic crisis is that it provides demonstrable PROOF that people's identities are completely wrapped up in social inventions (money, security, predictability). I have heard even newscasters report that this entire calamity is being driven by fear, because the things that people have thought were *real* and *trustworthy* are being unmasked for what they are: psychological constructs compelled into being through the focus of the mass zeitgeist.
Now look what happens when money looses power because people cease to give power to money: the people are at a loss as to comprehend who they are and what they are doing. We clothe ourselves in the artifacts of society. We cover our feelings with ideas and use those ideas to describe one another.
I am not an idea. You are not an idea.
We see our selves as snapshots of the eternal process of emergence. But we are NOT snapshots.
WE ARE THE PROCESS.
When you play two musical tones simultaneously, there is a harmony that comes into existence, essentially this harmony is a new musical component, not describable in either of the tones; it is the other.
We are instances of the harmony between notes and we are also the space between each of those instances, a kind of hyper-harmony. All of the notes are part of our existence, but there is no one note or combination of notes that can describe what we are. We are the experience that exist between the nodes of the network. And we are the dynamic process of growth that is consistently and progressively increasing in sophistication as groups of interconnected nodes graduate into representations of nodes themselves, profoundly re-imagining the structure of the previous network.
If, in your life, you find that everything is falling apart, then you can rest assured that you are doing what you need to do. You are letting the false mirror shatter into a million pieces, revealing that in the *space* between the pieces, the unrecognised, unnamed abyss, there is the potential for true reflection; True Self-Awareness.
