The self is merely an individual reflective image of the soul of absolute being projected back into the artificial layers of actuality which comprise human civilization. The individual human consciousness grasps an intellectual image of the soul of absolute being reflected against the actuality of its physical environment, identifies with this image and projects it back into its social world as a truly false image, devoid of reality. The self projected in the image is not one’s true being.
