The unknown world of other "selves" and the peculiarity of there subjective consciousness, is of concern to the "I" of the Self, who struggles to understand what it means to live in the current narrative of existence. Changes to the web of societal existence is so rapid that the "I" dwindles to the size of an ant mindlessly carrying on its own function for the good of the survival of the species. However displaced, our existence and our conscious experience has some meaning at least to our own subjective perspectives. We exist not aimlessly in the dark for a new darkness of the next generation, but we exist as beings created for a purpose. It is this "purpose" or telos that drives us consciously or subconsciously to move ourselves for the light of something more.
What is more to the Self can or cannot be the same as the other selves that exist. With this division in purpose comes a great divide in the narratives of our lives. Yet, the narratives converge on a spiritual level to create what may be a "objectivity" of existence. This hypothetical objectivity is quickly dissolved into narratives of deception and illusion of the current global system. When the bubble burst and the individual "I's" are left to there demise to find the narrative that suits them best, all is left for the Self to pray to a harmonious story of the objective world. It is nothing more than goodness, and simple existence of contentment for the ability to be alive.
How is it that the Self's subjective experiences are congruent with the realm of other subjective beings? Do we not live in our separate worlds blinded by our own world-life-view, without a clue to the existence of the other? The existence of an "I" so confidently stated in the mind of the Self, is nothing more than a squeak as an existent in the phenomenal realm. How to bridge the gap between existence in the formal world while conscious of our existence in the material world is the philosophical task of contemplating truth.
The Self is nothing more than a construction of itself, looking to understand how the "I" relate to "others" to create a narrative of how and why we exist. It is a process to find meaning - an age old question.
