Human Experience Value Lost with Sacred Selfhood / Selfness Sanctified

To understand how this myth of immutable selfness wreaks havoc on the human soul, we must turn our attention to the Resurrexit theory phenomenology. This theory divides the human experience into four structured domains, each with its own role in the journey of becoming.

Let us begin with Kratos, the first domain, which governs our initial entry into community and self-definition. According to Resurrexit theory, Kratos is the realm of rejections or acceptances of various rules along with their groupings. It is where we learn what is acceptable and what is not, forming the foundation for our identity. But if we believe we are immutable, then what becomes of this process, how can we find moderation in immutability? We stop accepting rules, stop rejecting them, and instead become a blob of confusion sitting in it as emotional wrecks; demanding and dependent.

For instance, imagine a child who believes they are born as they are, say, an introvert. They reject the idea of socialising, believing it is unnatural for them. But if they can not accept new or reject old rules, then so disabled from forming any real identity. The domain of Kratos collapses into chaos, and with it, the next domain of Telos, which is where we balance product and craft in our labours, both intrinsic and external in the material. Children tend to maximise leisure and play, leading them to ‘game’ the system for getting out of rules.

But what is Telos without a clear understanding of who we are? It becomes an empty void, a place where we spin our wheels in confusion. And if Telos is unbalanced, then Eros, the domain of relationships, cannot possibly thrive healthfully. For how can we form meaningful connections with others if we do not know who we are? How can we love, if we cannot define ourselves?

And finally, Logos, the domain of power and mastery, becomes a distant dream for those lost to themselves as the most ancient of ice in a glacier. For Logos requires dialectical reasoning, the ability to synthesise opposites into something greater. But if we are immutable, then there is no synthesis: only stagnation and recidivism. But all melts eventually, all returns. And so, the entire structure crumbles, leaving us adrift in a sea of confusion.
