The paper argues that human reality is interpreted through both rational and emotional processes, and proposes a model of the human being as a wholeness composed of the brain-mind (ego), body-mind (Id), and an outer world, with the 'I' or soul as the unifying element. It discusses coherence among perception, attention, and consciousness, and examines thought, fantasies, visions, and dreams. Concepts such as intent, will, morals, and ethics are explained, and the Jungian collective conscious and unconscious are analyzed. Intuition and religious experience are hypothesized to arise from deep quantum chemistry and infinite dancing fractal spirals that form the energetic backbone of the world. The paper considers man as a real wholeness and debates subjectivity, consciousness, and intent from this perspective.
