Jungianism calls this the 'self' (I believe; not a Jungian); the wider potential human that you aren't being. Andrew Hodges a psychiatrist discovered something like what's described, too ('Deeper Intelligence'), a subconscious concern with integrity and boundaries.
- aspirant 17y agoRight. Usually the Jungian usage is written 'Self' with a capital 'S'. I quite believe in it now and looking back, credit it as the source that allowed me to quit various dead-end jobs, even when they paid a lot and were held in high regard by everyone around me. My ego said, "Hey, be content this is a great job!" But the Self doesn't care how much money a job makes. It cares about 'individuation' and growth.
