My apologies if I misunderstood your intentions. You will find that I often follow Jung in using analogy, metaphor, and symbolic imagery in an attempt to make my ideas more accessible. By "inner mind", I don't mean to imply a spatial relationship between an "interior" and an "exterior" such as we perceive in three-dimensional objects; i.e., I don't see one part of the mind as being "inside" another, like so many layers of an onion, although that could be a useful model. Things that one spends many years trying to grasp on an intuitive level cannot be easily conveyed to someone else in a few words. That only works when we talk about mundane things that everyone can see and thus agree on basic descriptions of their properties.

Okay, I'm babbling like a madman now, so I'm gonna give it a rest.
