PERSONAL EXCERPT TO THE STUDY OF HUMAN SELF By - Igbejoe Egidi -

The medieval approach to the study of MIND and SELF as enunciated by the Classical Sociologist and Psychologist (ethnomethodologist) can still be revisited from an individual perspective. Therefore, it can be understood to mean that SPIRITUALITY is the thing of the Mind as RATIONALITY is located in the brain (Self). The Self hospitalizes what can be seen, touched and felt. The brain defends the self; it is however not interested in the abstract or apostrophical Conundrum but the sensate and ephemeral issues. The brain controls what is physical and things that can only be explained from a rational and logical perspective. It is interested in what is appealing to the sight and can only be appeased when it receives thunderous applause, praise and worship. It houses pride, self-exaltation and excitement. The ideology of an American Sociologist, Ivan Gofman can be understood from this angle when he talks about the Front-page or the Public life of an individual in his episode of Dramaturgy (the con-man perspective). In his analogy, the Self despises embarrassment, harassment, undue litigation, suppression, coercion, dissension, tension, oppression and lots more that tend to belittle the individual self. It is the body and soul defender! Thus it tends to deceive others to its self-gratification and benefit.

On the other hand, the heart (mind) which is the thinking part of the body is the angelic section of the “individual Whole”. It is not just an organ for pumping of blood. The mind (heart) is concerned with what is spiritual and morally upright. The mind is the driving force in the laws of human existence. It is the epitome from which the laws of nature emanate. It is the police of the SELF (who acts like an infant to the matters that concern the body). In the Psychoanalytic Theory of Sigmund Freud, the Mind is the conscience that reminds the Self about laws of nature and morality. It strives for perfection and moral justification. It controls the soul to meet with the heavenly and consciousness of the feelings of others in the society. Therefore, in the purity of the heart the mind cannot deceive itself.
