Conscious and Superconscious vis-a-vis Ego and Superego

Mind that is subject to ego through the brain, as in egocentricity, is never more than conscious, the recipient of knowledge, which is usually pleasurable.  One might call this mind thought-mind.

Mind that is subject to soul through the central nervous system, on the other hand, is never less than superconscious, the recipient of joy, which is truth.  Such mind can be called feeling-mind, since it is the centre of conscience as the product of how one feels about anything and contrasts with that which, buried in thought, rarely if ever exemplifies conscience but is calculatingly conscious in its rational remove from feelings or, at any rate, from all but the most attenuated and knowledge-derived, including intellectual pleasure.

I have said it before and I shall say it again; superego, as a ‘bovaryization’ of ego, and hence knowledge, is a philosophical approach to truth which may be pro-heavnely/godly in its understanding of metaphysics, but can never be properly metaphysical and thus heavenly and/or godly itself.

The ‘Word’, hyped as God, is just another, if more advanced, species of religious 'bovaryization’ and effective idolatry, the idolatry of ‘the Book’ and the worship of intellect, and hence knowledge, as opposed to the experience of joyful soul in superconscious truth, which is beyond even philosophical truth and therefore superego.

One might call the Soul the supersensibility, spinal-cord deep, that infuses consciousness superconsciously when it becomes a truthful reflection of joy.

For me, the term ‘Superman’ does not just equate with superego but, more radically and progressively, with a personal or, rather, superpersonal individual cyborgistic destiny that would complement, from an administrative and/or protective standpoint, the supra-human destiny of substance-motivated communal cyborgization in both metaphysical  (divine) and pseudo-metachemical (pseudo-diabolic) manifestations of religious sovereignty, whether or not the latter would be more fittingly described as pseudo-scientific in its predominantly bound-somatic contrast to anything metaphysical and therefore preponderantly freely psychic.
John O'Loughlin is a self-taught philosopher who has been writing mostly works of a philosophical nature for over three decades. Besides publishing himself through his company Centretruths Digital Media, he has been published by Lulu.com (ePub) and Clickbank.com (PDF), as well more recently by Amazon.com (Kindle), on the Internet, and considers himself to be the founder of the ideological philosophy of Social Theocracy and/or Social Transcendentalism, the former term having more political and the latter more religious significance, as though a distinction between state and church. Both, however, appertain to what he terms 'the Centre', a concept which transcends state/church relativity as we generally understand it. His works explain and justify Social Transcendentalism in relation to the concept of religious sovereignty, which he regards as the ultimate mode of sovereignty. Mr O'Loughlin is 58 and lives alone in north London.
