Psychic Structure

Psychic structure can be seen, then, simply as the structuralization of the substrate or consciousness, the ground of experience of the self, under the impact or imprint of the organized systems of images. Image is a content of organized memory, but structures the substrate of the self in the present. (The Point of Existence, pg 501)

Psychic structure and its representation

We have tried to clarify the difference by understanding psychic structure as a structuralization of the substrate of the self by the imprint of a representation. The relationship between a structure and a representation that gives it its particular characteristics is like the relationship between a sculpture and the form of the sculpture, or between a building and its blueprints... In this way, the structure and the representation are inseparable, although they are not identical. (The Point of Existence, pg 480)
