The self is relatedness. Only when the self mirrors itself in so many mirrors does it really exist. . . You can never come to your self by building a meditation hut on top of Mount Everest; you will only be visited by your own ghosts and that is not individuation. . . .
The self only exists inasmuch as you appear.
Not that you are, but that you do the self.
The self appears in your deeds and deeds always mean relationship.

Very profound quote, Karl. Never thought about it this way but certainly found it interesting. Particularly, the self appears in your deeds. That makes it less abstract. Thanks for sharing.
