		A civilization and ego.
	It thinks about the relationship of civilization and ego at this knot. When the civilization imposes the requests of the former knot on human ego, would where be the limit possible of accepting the requests like that for the ego ? In the former knot, it stated the problem of human being living in the civilized society a little, as the logical image under the condition of the irreversible social change. But, as the actual problem, where would the limit of above acceptance under the reversible social change be ? Really, this theme is the psychological problem pressing very much, and also is the biological problem as well. Therefore, it thinks to examine the relationship of civilization and ego to find out the footing of the reasoning like that. Needless to say, the individual usually behaves under the logic of self-preservation. And, it can say the ego is the mental origin causing the behavior like that. Therefore, it seems it can find out the ego not only from the animal but even from the ameba if it is as the primitive form. Of course, it is ready that this statement is laughed off. But, if the following statements are compared to the other knots, it thinks it can get the understanding probably. However, since the animal and ameba, and so on have no more than the few cerebral new cortex or haven't the brain itself, it can't perceive even one's ego, of course as for other ego. Since the ego is the subject for the perception persistently, isn't the object, it has to say no one can perceive a ego. Therefore, if the ego tries to make himself the object for the perception, he has to observe his past ego objectively. And, there isn't the method else. So, if it says more strictly, it finds out the mental and physical existence different from oneself from the memory of oneself like that, and has to distinguish the existence like that from oneself. It can say one's self unable to divide with the work like that is the ego. (Since the ego stated here is different from the usual understanding a little, the detailed explanation is stated in the next knot.) However, for this work, it needs the excellent brain and the proper training. And, it doesn't seem the organism able to do so exists besides the human being at least on this earth. Of course, this statement only means the mankind's ability like that is considerably excellent than other organisms. At any rate, even if it has the excellent brain, it is certain the perception to the ego is the difficulty considerably even for the human being if it doesn't do the training enough. But, it doesn't seem the person always concentrating to one's ego exists. Then, if it thinks how a person perceives himself and its ego(the ego in this case is the so-called ego), it seems it is related also to the extent of the said person's internal standard. It seems it can understand the thing easily if it observes the illogical jump and impulsive action, and so on of the recent youth layer though it isn't that all they are so. It seems it is because the circuit of the brain for objective perception to oneself and also the internal standard aren't maturing because of the lack of the training. (It doesn't refer to the biochemical cause and the undesirable change of natural environment to be regarded as the cause like that recently.) If it says in the converse viewpoint, it can say the immature condition of the internal standard disturbs the self-examination. In that reason, the work called the self-examination is necessary to perceive one's ego. However, the impulsive person hasn't the habit like that. Therefore, it can say the circuit of his brain is kept to the immature condition as it is so. In that reason, it seems they can't know the difference between oneself and one's impulse. (The perception to oneself influences also the limit and way where the said person adapts oneself to the demand of the civilization.). However, on the other hand, it is certain the impulsive mind like that is the bad fruit from the certain social tendency. Therefore, it doesn't seem it is so proper to blame only them. As it stated in the 7th knot, it is because it seems the confusion of the social standard is confusing them. However, anyone have the ego because the ego is the subject(This is my thought) for perception, even if it is the immature. It seems it is the truth to be applied to the whole of the living body though the ego isn't always conscious of oneself. The ego first judges the relation between himself and the outside world. And, it can say the ego's judgement like that decides a creature's behavior. By the way, the civilization, the community, the colony, and so on belong to the outside world for a ego in the general cases. If it says why it confined it to the general case, it is because the ego has the very flexible characteristic as it is well known in the psychology. Thereupon, think about the operation of the car a little. The immature driver almost can't drive his car if he doesn't make one's consciousness concentrate to the manipulating of the car. In other words, at that time, this car belongs to the outside world for the driver like that. However, as for the skilled driver, it can operate the car without the concentration like that for the present though it doesn't seem it is so proper for safety. In other words, in this case, it can say his ego contains not only his body but also his car, though it may be only a moment. Then, when walking on the road, and so on, it doesn't seem the persons always paying the attention about the way of one's walking are so many. At that time, his legs usually exist in the inside of his ego. But, the usual condition like that is changed to the other condition as a time if it feels the pain because of the injury and so on. In other words, the legs like that exist as the object, that is, the outside world to perceive for the ego. At that time, it can say the ego is smaller than the usual condition. In other words, the ego can expand or shrink endlessly. It is caused not only unconsciously but also as a time consciously. Of course, since a ego isn't the physical existence, it is natural that it hasn't the size. Therefore, it can say the above statement was stated as the physical impression though it is well-known expression in psychology. In that meaning, it can think the ego can expand until reaching to the universe from the mathematical speck(the physical position for the cognition-subject). By the way, at the top term in French absolute monarchy, the people whispered the rumor that King Rouis fourteenth said that We are France. But, to tell the truth, it is said it isn't his utterance. However, since it is the episode of the top term for him anyhow, even if he was the mental condition like that, it never be strange. At any rate, it is the symbolic anecdote of the ego expansion. By the way, the expansion of ego like that leads the ego of the members of the community to the condition fusing. If it sees the condition like that from the viewpoint of the consciousness, it is the feeling uniting individuals to understand as the certain mental footing, that is, the core of the said community. For example, it feels that one's wife is a part of oneself in the certain circumstances. And, at her side, there as a time is the sense that my husband's thought is my thought. It hears that the consciousness like that was seen remarkably at Japan in the period of the Second World War and so on though it doesn't know whether the same situation is seen or not in the foreign countries. But, it isn't that it stated the above examples with the expectation. Since it has only stated it as the fact persistently, Don't misunderstand me please ! At any rate, the harmonization (fusion) of egos is the remarkable characteristic of ego, is very strong power to maintain the community. If it sees the fusion of egos from the viewpoint of social science, it is because it is the power to form the social standard. Of course, it is natural that the creature's logic is acting in the undercurrent of the fusion like that to form the social standard. In other words, if it thinks about the fusion of the egos with the biological viewpoint, it is that it really is the fundamental power controling the individuals. Therefore, if it thinks there are the norms to maintain the civilization, it can think there is the fusion of egos to maintain the culture. Therefore, it can say that not until the fusion of egos occurs, the norms are formed because the culture is the footing of civilization. As a matter of fact, it seems that it can find out the aspect like that even from the amebas if it observes the amebas carefully. When the amebas try to compose the spores, it can think the force to fuse each ego is acting on the said amebas strongly. And it seems that the force like that is brought by the creature's logic when the amebas are exposed to the dangerous situation or the various pressures. Even if it thinks the situation like that from the viewpoint of psychology, it seems the aggregate of the amebas is the appearance of one culture, is one civilization and is one creature. At any rate, it seems that the above mentioned psychological situation to make the individuals compose a organization acts on all the organisms with the same logic. As it stated before, the force to fuse each ego increases the strength rapidly if the community falls into the crisis. Or, it rather may be better to say the individuals have to fuse for each survival. At any rate, if one human society falls to the crises, its members may be tossed by the storm of the totalitarianism, being fused by the logic of the powers or by the logic of ruler. If it recollects the world history, it seems the thing is the obvious truth under the certain condition. The cornered community often changes to one fierce animal. However, The fusion of the egos doesn't always lead the society to the totalitarianism. As a time, the social environment like that, with making other persons' ego concentrate to the certain person, brings the person having the very excellent penetrating mind to this world. The person like that would have the ego of whole of the creatures probably. But, even if someone looks to be like that, since most of the persons like that are the pretender, it seems it is necessary to do the attention as Christ also said so. But, as for him, it seems it is certain it is one of the genuine human beings probably. With the former part of this knot, it showed the ego is very flexible and does the harmonization to other egos. And, it is natural that the extent of the fusion and the size of the fused egos are changed by the relationship of the external environment and internal environment. In other words, the aspect of the fusion like that is changed by the vector of each environment same as the change of the form of the living body. If so, it seems the ego can adjust to any environments because it is very flexible. Therefore, apparently it doesn't seem the troubles of the maladjustment occur for at least so-called ego. However, if it sees the reality, it never be so. Even if it says that many persons are suffering from the neurosis today, it is because it never be the exaggeration. If so, what would cause the troubles of ego ? It seems it is because the requests from the civilization began to exceed the limit of the human perseverance probably if it thinks the thing with the intuition. If so, as it thought, it doesn't seem it is different from the troubles of the maladjustment for ego. (It can say the trouble of maladjustment for ego is the trouble of the ego expansion and of the fusion of ego finally.). To tell the truth, in the former consideration, it can't but say that the serious things were overlooked. In other words, it has to consider the certain people's sense it is in the alienated situation from the society or the organization. Moreover, it has to think about the self-alienation to be caused by the sense of the alienation like that. Or, the sense of alienation like that from the society may be the unfounded suspicion thought by oneself for the certain persons. But, it is certain they are feeling the pressure like that. And, their actual sense like that is imprinted on his heart together with the isolated condition from the outside world. That is, it is the father of the self-alienation. And, of course, it is natural that the mother in the meaning like that is the said person's mind. At any rate, if someone falls into the circumstances like that, it seems it is very difficult that he adjusts to the society. Or, it rather may be better to say it is almost impossible that his ego is fused to the society because it is that he continues to be alienated from his inside and from his outside. Our society today is maintaining relatively gentle condition for the people on the surface. (Since this sentence was written about six years ago, it may be a little different from the present conditions. Rather, today's situation may have become worse. October 16, 2003.). If it observes the present social condition, it can say it is the time the fusion of the egos is very difficult. As it stated before, it is because the human being tries to think about all things mostly by the individual's logic under the gentle social conditions. Even if the present gentle condition like that is the pretended condition, since many of people don't try to notice the concealed crisis, the tendency of people like that doesn't change so simply. By the way, there is the remarkable problem especially in the present times about the above mentioned alienation. It is there is the possibility the defence reaction derived from instinct of self-preservation causes the above mentioned alienation. Since the present social condition leads the certain people to the gloomy distrust of the society, it is because the various sense of alienation occurs because of the defence reaction like that and prevents the fusion of egos. At any rate, the largest mental problem in today's society is the problem of the fusion of egos, is the problem of the alienation lying between the society and the said person. Probably, it also would be the problem from the lack of the affection and thoughtfulness seen in home and society or other. Therefore, if the society keeps suppressing the individual's logic with the logic of powers, since the social vitality is lost, the society itself also atrophy as well. And, conversely it seems the fusion of egos becomes hard increasingly. Today where will our society be trying to go ? In today's society, we are apparently free. But, it seems it is the uncanny freedom in that the persons are made to do the similar behavior, pushed into the same molds. In fact, each person's behaviors are restricted with three strong power, that is, the logic of self expansion, the logic of ruler and the logic of civilization. (the logic of civilization is the logic of powers.). Furthermore, each power is spoiled with each collision. Therefore, each individual's true hope and ability and also the society may be crushed in the friction like that. If it states the simple explanation about the thing, it can say each individual, buried into the whole, falls into the degeneration of the brain, the degeneration of the society. And, it seems the persons the civilization feels it doesn't need are shut in the lower layer of the society. Needless to say, the persons like that are a person who doesn't finish becoming an organ and are a person who injures efficiency. Therefore, they may fall into the twined condition by the chains of poverty as the mere means for labor. And, it also may be driven out from the benefit of the civilization in spite of originally its members. Or, would it be only my delusion ? But, it may not be so if it recollects the world history. At any rate, if the above supposition is proper, it is certain that the fusion of their egos to the society is very hard. At the present time, it seems the voting rate of the election becomes low increasingly. Or, wouldn't it be because the supposition like that lurks to the undercurrent of the people's mind ? At present, the above-mentioned three strong logics are starting the expansion rapidly. And, each individual is trying to accept the demands of those logics desperately or sensibly. However, the effort like that may reach the limit soon because of the collision of the three strong powers. Or, it may be about to reach the limit like that already. At any rate, it is certain the fusion of egos is in the obstructed state. It may be the evidence of the thing that the strange crimes hard to understand are increasing rapidly recently. And, there also is the possibility the social condition obstructing the fusion of egos makes the people cause the converse reaction to the alienation of egos. In other words, there is the possibility the pent-up desire about the fusion of egos may be burst suddenly. It can't assert that the storm of totalitarianism doesn't conquer the society. But, would the problem like that be the problem in only Japan ? As a matter of fact, it seems the problem of maladjustment for ego and the collision of three big power occur especially in the matured civilization. Or, it may be able to say the civilization today is on the suspicious crossroads if this consideration is proper. Or else, would it be the mere delusion from my neurosis ? ?
