MAN
118. In the highest degree and as a first step man creates his incarnation; then - descending lower - he chooses it; descending even lower he freely accepts it; descending even lower than this he involuntarily takes notice of it: maybe he would like to but cannot avoid it; descending even lower than before he meets it; and finally he unconsciously falls into his incarnation - into that which originally was freely created by him.
119. Regarding especially its lowest degree - corresponding to the creatio factiva - and even its most external state, createdness means that I neither experience myself as the creator of myself nor as the creator of my own functions nor as the creator of my own world. Strictly speaking, creatureness means that my own being as creator becomes obscure.
120. Every single man is the versional incarnation of the Universal Man.
121. The cherub who expelled man from Eden is the former rank of man, which keeps guard over the state of Eden of existence. And from this point of view man by man was expelled from Paradise, which essentially means that I myself expelled myself from myself.
122. Contemporary man - and the man of any age altogether - is nothing other than an identification.
123. A man never regards himself solely as one of the existences, not even in the deepest states of enchantment.
124. Every mask (persona) conceals a face (facies).
125. Man does not only carry his ancestors in himself but even represents them.
126. A personal man almost experiences himself as if he existed in »the third person, singular«.
127. Psychological I-ness is not the awareness of I-myselfness but a feeling of the I-ness.
128. The unconscious is the consciousness in potentiality.
129. From a certain point of view the intention by which someone wants to place himself in the physical world or he wants to define himself biologically is of some significance but with regard to realisation it serves to alienate myself from myself more and more.
130. While with respect to intelligence people are extremely different, considering sensory perception - with only slight differences - everyone is equally »stupid«.
131. The darkness which is carried inside man represents such a heteronomy that is more extreme than any other darkness.
