Watts was right when he said, purportedly, that our inner-most thoughts are not our own. Directed Thinking is always directed At Someone,
with a mode of adaptation in mind. If I talk to myself, I speak to a
relic of dogmatic Christian Culture: The 'Soul', although this
Nietzschean soul is in fact simply the ego and not the Jungian Soul. If I
appeal to 'Common Sense', I appeal to the Collective Ego that has
become the Christian God.
When I cease to merely
ruminate upon used thoughts as I would chew gum that has lost its
flavour, the wordless language of my Soul, in the Jungian sense, has
become available to me. Causality, at least as I have understood it, vanishes. As does Blame.
