53. Dream, Hallucination, Somnambulism, and Seeing Consciousness II

The human being carries his childhood within him; but in the normal state he does not relate it to the outside world, to which he relates only his present human being. In the morbid state, however, he relates his childhood to the outside world. This is when a lack of direction in life occurs. It is easy for a person in a civilized society to get into this situation if they cannot keep up with life and are therefore unable to place their present human being in a fulfilled relationship with the outside world.
