What is the "psyche"?

[MONK]

Bluebootz,

Psyche is the totality of the human mind conscious and unconscious; "self" in the sense of "conscious personality" or "psyche". Word "mind" is preferred by cognitive scientists to "psyche".

It operates based on conscious awareness and its ability to program thoughts related to servile and reproduction.

Apuleius from the 2nd century AD wrote the Latin novel Metamorphoses the overcoming of obstacles to love between Psyche intrepid as the Soul or Breath of life and Cupid or desire the cause of suffering.

We have it because one cannot be without the other in this world of duality in order to come to the realization of being whole or One within existence.
