The human being consists of four parts: body, psyche, mind and soul. Souls is the part that is unfading. Mind mediates between soul and psyche. The body is the instrument of the soul or the container the soul dwells in.

Psyche is a non-material digestion organ that masters fear and can be of different complexity. In this respect it can be compared with a mirror globe that has more or less reflectors on its surface. A globe with less mirrors gives a simple image of reality whilst a globe with many mirrors gives a highly complex image of reality. It is obvious that a highly complexe psyche on the one hand represents reality more sophisticated but on the other hand is more prone to represent distorted images of reality.

A strong distortion of reality can lead to a state in which the basic function of psyche temporarily is no longer functioning and fear will no longer be digested correctly. A pathologically working pysche will not only sustain distortions of reality but also intensify them, so that help from outside is necessary (psychoanalysis) to re-enable psyche to sanely digest fear again. As a consequence of this help distortion of reality (that always happens because of fear) can be abolished little by little.
