Primary Self Realization
In the original condition of primary self-realization, which
coincides with that of primary narcissism, the child does not
possess enough discrimination to differentiate between his essential
Presence and the various contents of the self. In the next stage,
where the Essential Identity is his dominant presence, the child's
capacity for discrimination has matured some. But he is identified
so totally with the presence of the Essential Identity, at least
when it is manifesting, that he is not able to perceive it. He
is being it; he actually feels what it is like to be it, but is
not able to objectify it because he is not self-reflective. (The
Point of Existence, pg 180)
