wholly flourishing

  being one Self
gary e. davis
December 2023
 
  An elusive, yet vital, feature of being is the mystery of oneself feeling implicitly backgrounded by oneself (life-orienting values, past individuation, etc.), such
that one is essentially more than conscious selfidentity. Self reflection is essen-
tially self-differential. One’s selfidentity is of one Self beyond easily articulable selfidentity. One‘s awareness easily feels to be of that life-orienting background-
ing mysteriously.

Inasmuch as Self feels distinct from oneself (inevitably, for self-reflection), a self-reflective differentiation between lifecycle Self and conscious selfidentity is ex-
pressed as representable difference: a sense of Self/self differentiation.

Yet, a flexible adulthood is also a plurality of interpersonal identities or s/p differ-
entiality
. The near-term accessibility of that is “contained” by the horizonal lifecycleness of S/s differentiability, though the individuated phenomenology of that is likely mysterious. One’s lifecycle sense of one’s Time horizons discernable senses of s/p differentiality.

So, referring to “oneSelf” should not seem obscure. It’s oneSelf which easily seems obscure.

For authentic life, a person is in charge of their future (inasmuch as the times allow), oriented by long-term aspirations, manifold engagements, preferred projects, etc. Being a flourishing life cannot be fairly understood as a subjectivity.

Altogether, the S/s/p-differentiated lifecycleness of oneSelf causes an appealing sense of proteany, especially since I have so much online: There’s no best place
to begin formally.

Links below to postings provide an introductory discussion for later faring
through some keynotes of literary history whereby so-called “genius” expressed inspiration of feeling possessed—being possessed—by a god.

 
psychality again -|- May 2020
  Good reasons can be given for the neologism (better than ‘mind’) as encom-passing concept of individuational mentability. This discussion is circum-spective, not pretending to be comprehensive. It highlights my interest in phenomenal relating, differentiating, and interpreting.

 
recalling intra-psychal differences -|- May 2020
  This discussion provides more detail about the individuational importance
of phenomenal relating and differentiating.

 
historical “psyche” -|- May 2020
  This plays with etymology.
