"Here I am"
[and interpretation of an introduction to psychology text]
The Self "today" engaged in a mighty outward and inward struggle for a new world-life-view stands at a point where multiple worlds meet amidst an almost inconceivable devastation of the past. No clear orientation is possible, nothing can show the mind a way forward, all bearings have been lost in this whirlwind of dualism (between realism and idealism). Self-actualization, in all its uncertainty, must be a "process" of thorough re-examination of the self towards being. The colossal destabilization brought by the war of subjective perspectives, and the issues of interpretation, directs the mind more imperatively than ever to the realm of spiritual and philosophical realities. Perhaps, psychology, mysticism and philosophy, may help the mind understand some of those incomprehensible realities the Self has been relentlessly confronts with ever since the creative process began, and may guide his pathless present towards a more meaningful future. From a different angle, the process of self-actualization is the beginning of a realization of self-consciousness that the root of all reality lies in his own mind and that the phenomenal realm is as he himself has shaped it.
But how can the self move towards actualizing his being when he cannot even find his way about from the dilemma of finding "truth" in all the subjectivities?
After the countless endeavors that have been made from various interpretive methods, the mind finds a necessity to attempt to understand and "extract" a more comprehensive system from psychological, philosophical, and mystical linguistic categories.
