If we assume that by metaphysical probing he discovers and by ultramystic practice he sees at last that the ‘I’ is not in the body but the body is really in the ‘I’; if he realizes that the personal ‘I’ like everything else within his ordinary experience is really a thought‑construction which feigns a permanent and stable entity of its own; if he penetrates deeply beneath it and uncovers its hidden essence as mind, what has he done? He has got rid of a mistaken idea ‑ however powerful, however hypnotic and however over‑confident his belief in it formerly was ‑ and he has substituted for it the contrary idea of his higher individuality, the Overself.
Wisdom of the Overself
