The thinker must come upon himself through his many aspects

Posted:

The “I”, the thinker, the observer, watches his opposing and conflicting thoughts-feelings as though he were  not part of them, as though he were above and beyond them, controlling, guiding, shaping. But is not the “I”, the thinker, also these conflicts? Has he not created them? Whatever the level, is the thinker separate from his thoughts? The thinker is the creator of opposing urges, assuming different roles at different times according to his pleasure and pain. To comprehend himself the thinker must come upon himself through his many aspects.                              The Collected Works vol IV, p 45
