Abstract
Humans have long been recognized as having layers of being: conscious, unconscious, and subconscious; Id, Ego, and Superego; to name a few. These focus on the individual. But human do not exist only as individuals. We are inherently members of systems: social, cultural, linguistic, political, and so on. We are also inextricably nested within ecological systems of home, influencing and influenced by all of the human and more than human beings that we share our environment with. This relationship with all of our relations can be captured within the Self. As we move from a focus on self to an embrace of our connected Self, there are infinite considerations to be explored. In a collection of textual and reflective snapshots, this chapter navigates the author’s wonderings about and wanderings from self to Self.
