Belief components are put together (mostly unconsciously) by belief processors into specific beliefs about what reality must be like. Each belief processor processes a single combination of belief components, which I call
belief elements. Every individual perceives all eight belief elements, however they have varying degrees of ability with either. The most capable four are adopted by the ego, with the rest attributed to the shadow. The ego projects, similarly, of beliefs processed by the shadow's belief processors as being controlled by the shadow itself, giving rise to perceptions of good and evil.
What is a belief processor. Are you using a different definition for the word belief? A belief is nothing more than an interpretation of information/knowledge. Why would this need a different processor to any other information. The rationalization that I use in mathematics is exactly the same as that applied in formation of my beliefs. The only difference is that beliefs would have an emotional taint that may dull/distort the thinking. The eventual recognition of "good or evil" is based on your environment, and extrapolations created from previous experiences.
The belief elements each have relation systems owing to definite relations between the belief components. Belief component relations are tiered: relations between higher tier components are processed as overriding relations between lower tiered components. Lower tier relations are only apparent when higher tier components are identical, hence a null relation at the higher tiers.
- The 1st tier is internal vs external and is marked by irrelevance
- The 2nd tier is static vs dynamic, and is marked by conflict
- The 3rd tier is individual vs collective, and marked by complementarity
Some examples:
- An internal static belief and an external dynamic belief will have relations of irrelevance, not of conflict, because 1st tier relations override 2nd tier relations.
- An external dynamic individual belief and an external static collective belief will have relations of conflict, not complementarity, because the 2nd tier overrides the 3rd tier.
- An external static collective belief and an external static individual belief have relations of complementarity.
In the event of a null relation, belief is of no practical consequence and other relational factors, such as those between sociotypes, hold exclusive sway.
I can't even pretend to know what you're going on about here.
The internal and external belief components have a special relation in that the processors for them may be either simple or complex. A complex processor is able to understand concepts, while a simple processor can only take them at face value. Although it is possible for the two components to switch processors, the individual must attain approx. ~60 years of age before the circuit will activate. Therefore throughout most of an individual's life they are constrained to understanding only half the world around them. The other half they must emulate understanding of by invoking cultural figures whom have/had the reverse configuration: although they do not truly understand the ideas of these figures (as per their instinct that such understanding is personally "irrelevant"), they can "get the gist" of their key arguments in so far as these arguments complement the concepts they find personally relevant. The invocation of these figures, the process of which was first identified by Jung, is akin to donning a mask, the resulting personality of which is termed
alter ego or
persona.
Firstly, 60 yrs sounds a bit arbitrary. Where is that coming from? And what do you mean by understanding half the world? There are so many mixed up concepts going on in here!
In practice, the individual identifies themselves first with those beliefs held by the ego which can be processed fully, and second with those ego beliefs which can only be processed simply. Thus individuals describe their beliefs in terms of two belief elements, although as they cannot understand their alter-ego beliefs their faith in those will be someone less than in the more complex system.
