ATTACHMENT:
Attachment would be defined as the non-ability of the Thinking-I to detach and view itself as independent and distinct from either the Ego or the Identity. This is commonly the condition of the Mundane Consciousness. The individual believes in their material self and personality alone, even if they believe in transcendence after death. This attachment can represent an integrated Ego and Identity that is singular, such as the unshakable belief in the role of one's leadership,
which can contribute to strong personality and self.
Detachment would represent the ability of the Thinking-I as detached from the Ego and Identity, viewing itself as separate and not necessarily governed by them. In other words, the Thinking-I would pick, choose and control the Ego and Identity and not vice-versa. This would be called the transcendence to the Symbolic Consciousness. This transcendence comes about perhaps with the aid of the Invisible-I, in that an unknown Identity may contribute to the creation of multiple Identities, the exploration of which, might lead to the realization that it is the Thinking-I and not the Ego or Identity that governs
the operation of the individual.
MULTIBLE IDENTITIES:
By the power of imagination the individual may be capable of creating any number of Identities. This means the playing of roles as varying characters. In this way the individual can come to understand the varying perspectives of different persons and groups, especially if these roles can be believed in as realistically as possible. One could say in this case the Ego is more or less that of an actor. In terms of strength, strong and numerous Identities may substitute for and be a result of a weak Ego. Multiple Identities may ultimately result in strong Ego, in that the individual may gain great understanding and experience, and thus the self-confidence of a strong Ego.
