CHAPTER

Interplay of Psyche and Existence

This chapter explores the intricate connections between organic diseases and psychological conditions, framing them as manifestations of a shared underlying phenomenon. It addresses self-organization, belief dynamics, and their relationship to various psychiatric disorders while examining existential themes related to immortality and the continuity of self. Through this lens, the conversation unfolds around the impact of scientific understanding on identity, the importance of dynamic processes in living systems, and the balancing act between selfhood and external narratives.
