Divided and Indivisible Realities


Matte Blanco, a renowned psychologist, describes two antagonizing modes
of being: a dividing one (the splitting and polarizing logic of our discrimi-
nating consciousness) and an indivisible one (reality as it is, prior to any di-
vision by discriminating consciousness). According to Def Jehning, Freud’s
‘true psychic reality’ comes pretty close to what Blanco would describe as
our ‘second mode of being’ — what he calls ‘Indivisible Reality.’
