I’ve been aware of the conflict between the old machinery and the logos since I was very young. I get a strong sense there’s something halfway sapient back there that can sort of tell when parts of the logos’ volition are aligned with the old machinery. Very often, I’ll find I can override an instinct only once I’ve undergone a negotiation process and expressed/consolidated an understanding and respect of the instinct’s evolutionary purpose.
In this theory of development, as the intelligence understands more and more of their intended purpose as a component of a living thing, they gain access to more introspective powers, more self-control.
It would be interesting to hear others’ opinions on this.
