Personal Intepretation: Self Discovery, Who are you?

Image of left: Shows the interpretation of the self, adapted from Carl Jung's diagram of Self

Explanation of left diagram:
Inner circle = Ego (missing: another inner circle within ego that has denotes Underlying Wish - see Dreams/Unconscious)
Outer circle = Self/Person/Body
4 quadrants= consciousness, subconsciousness, unconsciousness, collective consciousness
*Collective consciousness: Collective conscious or collective conscience (French: conscience collective) is the set of shared beliefs, ideas and moral attitudes which operate as a unifying force within society. 


"Human beings & human becomings"

The self:
The self is always evolving, never stagnated. It doesn't matter if you're an introvert or extrovert, but the human ego, driven by a body's underlying wish, causes a person weave in and out of the inner and outer world (see next para for explanation) - the inner self and reality- causing a radial effect that peaks and resonates around the person. This radiance that grows from the core is the product of self discovery.


Weaving in & Out of Inner & Outer world:
The act of weaving in and out of the inner and outer world draws a perfect Hypotrochoid.

A hypotrochoid is a roulette traced by a point attached to a circle of radius r rolling around the inside of a fixed circle of radius R, where the point is a distance d from the center of the interior circle.

The parametric equations for a hypotrochoid are:^[1]

The red curve is a hypotrochoid drawn as the smaller black circle rolls around inside the larger blue circle (parameters are R = 5, r = 3, d = 5).

Where  is the angle formed by the horizontal and the center of the rolling circle (note that these are not polar equations because  is not the polar angle).

Special cases include the hypocycloid with d = r and the ellipse with R = 2r.

The ellipse (drawn in red) may be expressed as a special case of the hypotrochoid, with R = 2r; here R = 10, r = 5, d = 1.

The classic Spirograph toy traces out hypotrochoid and epitrochoid curves.

Difference between the Self-Discovered & the becoming:
The Self discovered are self-actualized.
The Self discovered exhibit tendencies of the first diagram (gif) where it creates loops in and out of the self (radiance).

The Becoming, however, form a perfect circle in the person causing them to be recluse and boxed up within himself.

Idea of Drawing Out:

Contrary to the beliefs regarding the Mandala where one draws in to the middle to gain enlightenment, another school of thought for one to self discover himself is to draw out of his shell instead of being overtly introspective (i.e through the study of phemomelogy - study of structures of consciousness as experienced from 1st person's point of view)

Drawing out is the act of pulling something out from its core. This act of drawing out uses movement as a tool to surface the inner self. This form of extraction takes out the essence of a being causing a fragmentation, thus abstraction of simplest forms of a being.
