		The complementary explanation about the ego.
	In the former knot, it stated from the psychological viewpoint the following points, to understand the relationship of the civilization and ego. 1: The origin of ego seen in the similar state to the human being at the unicellular organisms. (note 1). 2: The expansion and shrinkage of the ego. 3: Each ego to be fused. However, all these points contain the very delicate problems. Thereupon, a little more carefully it thinks about the ego at this knot. Usually, many persons may think the consciousness of himself to be ego. But, it seems it is different a little from the truth. It rather seems that the ego only exist as the cognition-subject, that is, the existence to recognize the outside world.(Note 2). In other words, it seems it originally is impossible the ego become the other existence, that is, the object for perception. Therefore if it tries to notice one's ego, it has to move back from the present ego as the feeling. In other words, at first, it has to observe as the object all the recognition(the past memory) gotten through one's ego. Then next, it has to take away in turn from the memorized phenomenon the existence different from oneself. The objects like that are not only the outside world and his body, contain also his heart. But, there is one thing it can't take away absolutely. That is the cognition-subject, that is, the ego. Even if the ego like that is taken away, in this case, the ego to take away the ego is necessary always. If not, would who take away the ego ? In other words, it can say that the ego is the cognition-subject and is the existence it can't take away everlastingly. Really, it is "We exist because we think" as Dr. Descartes stated like that. In other words, it can say the ego is the super-logical origin of all existence if it is seen from the biological viewpoint. Therefore, the ego I thinks may be different a little from the ego stated by Dr. Freud who is the psychoanalyst. "I am me". At any rate, it seems that the consciousness like that is born in the above process if it is seen logically. It can say he at that time has learned the existence of the ego though it always isn't conscious. Therefore, even if it is God, it can't perceive other person's ego. If all the things are taken away from the said person by others, it is because there is nothing to be left. In other words, it is possible it takes away other's ego. However, if so, why would it be possible that a person acknowledges other person's ego ? Probably, it would be because one's ego is recognized. In other words, for someone, it can say the other person having the same biological characteristics as oneself looks to have the ego so that one's self have one's ego. Therefore, it is nothing else but to be the acknowledgement occurring in analogy.(Note 3). In other words, if the method of the analogy is refused, by any chance, other person's ego may exist nowhere besides the delusion. "Any person has ego.". The statement like that hasn't more truth than analogy in this case persistently. Even if the said person stated "I have the ego", the above validity isn't lost. For example, toward your personal computer, ask " Have you ego ?". If at that time, your computer is under the condition the program to output with "yes" was installed, the computer's answer would be "yes" surely. However, would such a answer be trustworthy ? As you see, the recognition a ego exists is not scientific truth. Rather, it is very personal truth. In other words, since the human being has the ability of the deep introspection, it can say it can acknowledge the existence of the ego. It is natural that the acknowledgement of ego needs the ability of the introspection because it is almost impossible it sees the other person's mind itself, though it is possible that everybody guesses other person's thought even if it is error. Therefore, it can say that a ego exists not only in human being but also in any organism if the organism like that perceives the outside world and if it is active on the outside world like that. It can't but say it is the truth also for you if you acknowledge one's ego. Therefore, it seems that the statement any organism has the ego has the truth of the same extent as the existence of the human ego. Then, since the ego is the subject for perception persistently, it doesn't seem the brain is always necessary for the ego. Furthermore, it doesn't seem the perception is established without the activity. In passing, it is natural that the perception like that makes the said organism decide his behavior. Therefore, as it thought, it may be able to say that all the existence with the characteristic like that has the ego whatever the form of the perception. At any rate, it seems the recognition that only a human being has the ego is nothing else but to be the haughtiness for the human heart. By the way, when more egos than the two are fused, would each ego disappear ? It doesn't seem it is so if it is seen from my experience. It is because the ego is the cognition-subject persistently. Usually, the cells composing the one organism are in the inside of the organism's ego like that. And, at that time, it can think that the cells' egos only are in the fused condition to the organism's ego. In other words, even if it is the cell of the fingertip, it can say it is doing the individual perception, corresponding to the circumstances if the former consideration is proper. Therefore, it seems it is impossible that the ego disappears though it may be possible it becomes the mathematical speck. (Note 4). If so, it can't assert that the disappearance of the organism causes always the disappearance of the ego if the mental existence can exist without the physical existence. Needless to say, it is because the ego not only isn't the physical existence, but also isn't the object for the perception. However, since as for this idea, it may be the delusion, it doesn't state the details any more. Therefore, it thinks to point out only that the ego is the origin for the perception. By the way, we often are caught and influenced by others' recognition, get into the action before noticing the thing. Even if it is difficult to accept the thing, it is the obvious truth certainly. The parents' recognition sneaks in to the children. The recognition of the owner sneaks in to the pet dog. Then, the recognition of the organization, that is, "a company, a society, a state, and so on" gets into the members' mind as well. And, the invaders like that give the members of the organization like that the great influence secretly. Of course, it is certain its cause is the fusion of each ego. Then, the fusion of egos becomes the serious movement factor at the establishment of the internal standard. In passing, as it stated before, the internal standard like that is perceived as the morality, the ethics, the custom, and so on. Of course, it is natural that there is the creature's logic controling each member in the undercurrent of the internal standard. As it stated before, the creature's logic, trying to manage effectively the function of the society in the purpose to make "lives" continue, controls the individuals. The fusion of egos occurs for the thing. Therefore, it seems the creature's logic, trying to fuse the egos, gives the youth the strong effect especially if the above consideration is proper. If not, it can't maintain the society because it is that the youth layer like that makes the future society. In that reason, it also seems it isn't necessary that the creature's logic give the adult the influence so strongly in the community going well because the social standard already is functioning as the internal standard on the adult. But, it seems that recently the adult's mental condition like that started to shift to the suspicious condition. It must be because the social sickness of something influences the adult probably. By any chance, today, wouldn't the creature's logic be in the obstructed condition because of something born of the civilization ? However, it seems its answer was stated before. By the way, it seems that the fusion of youth layer's ego to the society is confined to the narrow extent still. In that reason, the social standard established in the interior of their heart is immature. Therefore, it seems the logic of the civilization tries to assimilate them to the society especially. However, recently, the civilization is developing in the speed unable to be seen as the example in the past. And, the collision of three strong logic is making the mental friction strong increasingly. Furthermore, the circumstances like that try to pull not only the people but also even the nation into the suspicious confusion. It seems it is because the confusion of the adults makes the effect of the norm weaker increasingly. Especially, since the youth layer's internal standard is still immature, it is natural that it suffers from such evil influence. And, It also is natural that the "formation of internal standard" of the youth layer is obstructed. It seems that it can learn the thing easily if it compares the questionable behavior of the youth layer with one's mind carefully while it observes oneself. By any chance, today may be the era of the turning where the mental Messiah able to construct new standard with controlling the logic of the civilization is expected. Therefore, even if the people are forced to obey the usual standard by the powers, it would never bring the good result because it is that the social standard is born of the fusion of egos persistently. It rather seems that the social circumstances become complex all the more if such a action of the powers keeps carried out. And, it seems the society falls into the more dangerous confusion because it obstructs the fusion of egos. (Note 5). Today, the various evil custom is active, hiding behind every possible place of the society. In other words, the influence of such a evil custom is very strong, though it is the tacit comprehension of only a part of the society. Furthermore, such a evil custom often make the individuals ignore the proper social standard. Today, such evil invaders are lurking to even the system of original social standard secretly or in public. And, the circumstances like that spoil the function of the original social standard, distorting the original interpretation of the social standard. Especially today, it seems that the internal standard of the individuals is degenerating to only the public words. On the other hand, the evil custom is kept by the real intention of the members to acquire the benefits in such a evil custom. Such a situations are observed as the obvious fact to the home, and the organization, and the individual and so on as well. If such invaders continue to exist in triumph, it is natural that the mind of youth layer hold the doubt about the social standard itself. Of course, it is related to the various mental alienation. Originally, the system of the social standard is supported by the fusion of the community's members' ego. But, today, the fusion of the egos is keeping obstructed conversely because of the invading evil custom to the social standard. And, in that reason, the system of the social standard causes the separation from the creature's logic. It can say it is the very dangerous situation for the society. Therefore, the evil custom twining to the social standard have to be taken away. In other words, the social standard has to be remade. If not, it may lead the civilization and the community and the mankind and so on to the destructive circumstances because it seems the confusion of the standard like that leads the brain to the degeneration. However, as it stated before, it doesn't seem the new standard is constructed with the compelling request and so on because the social standard is the appearance of the fusion of egos. In other words, it seems it has to re-build the social standard rather along the creature's logic, not along the logic of the civilization though it is hoped most that the human logic is adopted. Of course, it seems it is necessary that each individual's independence isn't lost. It is because it seems it is impossible a human being lives like an ant. Therefore, even if it dares to use the compelling request and the spiteful pressure to get the effect of the certain norms, it seems it only functions as the excuse for the society and oneself probably. Since such an action obstructs the fusion of egos, it rather has to say it brings the society the harm. So, it seems that it shouldn't forget all the norms are based on the internal standard which is born of the fusion of egos persistently. Today, the runner called the civilization is running with the terrific speed with having gotten the tool called the capitalism. However, would it be possible that the civilized society composed of the persons endures against the speed like that ? It can't assert that it doesn't wander the different uncanny world from this world. This never be as a joke. At least for me, it seems it is very imminent problem. Or else, would it be the delusion from my neurosis ? At any rate, it is certain the serious problem is lurking to today's human society. What kind of future would you see, from the inside of the huge ship running in the terrific speed ? Note 1 The expression of "the origin of egos" followed the general understanding though in this case, it seems it is the ego itself. Note 2 . The outside world. In this case, if it explains it about the general circumstances, the "outside world" not only is the physical world and the other person's mental area but also contains the said person's mental area able to be the target of consciousness. Therefore, it is natural that the border between the outside world and the ego is changed corresponding to the expansion and contraction of the ego. Notice that the perception is that first the said person perceives the difference between oneself and other existence. And, it is natural that the judgement like that decides his action. Note 3 It seems it can apply the thing also to a consciousness. Even if his consciousness is judged to have disappeared when it is seen from the medical viewpoint, as a matter of fact, it seems to be not clear probably. But, since today, an electroencephalograph is used, by any chance, the vagueness like that may have been solved though it isn't so clear. Note 4 A consciousness isn't same as a ego. A consciousness is lost as a time though the ego always exists. Only the ego is the subject for the recognition persistently. Therefore, it can say that the consciousness is the shutter and focus making the perception possible. Of course, the unconsciousness the psychoanalysis explains is the area of the mind the ego can't perceive. If so, why would it be impossible that it sees that area ? If it say that reason simply, it seems it is because the shutter of consciousness doesn't open toward the area of mind like that. In other words, it seems the ego doesn't push the shutter. Then, it can say the pre-consiousness is the area of mind not being focused for the moment. Therefore, if the said person tries to see it with all his heart, it is the area it can see. Note 5 It seems the introverted confusion is more terrifying than the exposed confusion. The confusion like that causes the more questionable horror than the menace appearing as phenomenon, with being accumulated to the persons' mind. If that energy continues to be accumulated to the heart, it, bursting suddenly, may bring the big destruction to this world. Would it be finished in the destruction of oneself ? Or, would it be finished in the destruction of the outside world ? At any rate, the introverted confusion would bring the horrific destruction. It seems it can understand the thing easily if it observes the recent detestable incidents a little.
