Conscious self (Psychosynthesis)

According to R Assagioli, the truer self in experiential terms is the "I", that is the centre of consciousness, and not the contents of a particular state or formation that is identified as the personality. It is awareness in its pure potency. However, it is subject to sleep and to conditions like hypnosis, shock, narcosis and the like. The [conscious self]

is able to reappear only because it depends from the [higher self]
