If the life is viewed and considered in all its situations and variations, then it can be recognised that life means a constant struggle, a continuous careful study of one's own innermost (self) and outer self. The innermost self, which exists in the deepest consciousness, reflects the values of the creational spirit, but in opposition to that, the human being forms the outer self, the outer personality, according to his/her own views and understandings, by means of his/her thoughts and feelings and will. And, as a rule, this outer self, this outer personality, which is also released outwardly in the environment as one's conduct, completely contradicts the innermost self which has a creationally-given nature.
In the constant argument between the two forms of self, other factors continually attempt to interfere, which overlayingly and superficially fight again and again to misguidingly shove themselves above the current occurences of self-struggle. However, the innermost self nonetheless incessantly struggles through again and again, and again and again always drowns out and covers over the outer self, which is foreign to Creation and is created by the human being himself/herself. It is always there, constantly ready to break through the accumulated, tangled confusion of the outer personality in order to allow the human being's thinking and feeling to assiduously flourish and be effective, in accordance with the innermost creational self. This may very often only happen allusively, but it also proves its existence through the human becoming contemplative and contemplating the most varied things, events and situations as well as his/her behaviour and virtues, and so forth – even if that often only happens for extremely short periods, without great effect, and calls forth no noteworthy change of the external self, the external personality. Nonetheless, the innermost self constantly has the power to bring at least a vague smile to the human being's facial features, even if this is only brief and barely noticeable. However, this fine smile testifies that the innermost, the spiritual, the creational self, without doubt stands above everything; invulnerable,
