The Importance Of Experiencing Things
The Importance of Experiencing Things The difficulty of living, of experiencing things, that is, of feeling the emotion that is created in the inner world and concerns things and indeed one’s own things, can be a cause for various psychological difficulties one of of which is also the feeling of emptiness. But there are other potential difficulties.

A second difficulty for example is that where one feels that one is not connected to anything. A third difficulty is the sense of endless falling, a fourth is the loss of the concept of the real, and many other difficulties that may appear in different environments with different conditions and for different organisms.
The Importance of Experiencing Things – Repetition and the Endeavor to Sustain Life
All of the above difficulties can have significant consequences in people’s lives. So a defense is needed there. In everyday life our defense is a compulsive tendency to do the same things over and over again. So we are all gripped by repetitiveness. We set up routines that we stick to to some extent so that we always have something to look forward to. This gives us security and the ability to sleep peacefully at night. This repeatability essentially preserves our psychic right to life by giving us the vitality or even the necessary balance to carry on. We all do this and we never let it, except perhaps only in those cases where we cannot process a situation. These situations include illness, serious injury, death and sudden changes.
When one is a baby, it is not possible to get caught up in repetitiveness on one’s own. There is a figure that completes the Ego of the child and creates the routine for him. Things are experienced “together”. There is no such thing as a baby by itself. If this mother’s function has the characteristics of holding and containing as well as the characteristics of trying to understand what is going on, then the relationship is quite good. Within this binary trajectory is created a habit of being, a connection, a way of communication. By studying cases of people who cannot connect or constantly have a feeling of great emptiness or cannot communicate, we see what disruptions have occurred and how difficult it is to move forward experiencing these difficulties. A very special and important element there, is that when the self is still in this binary orbit, it cannot experience the feelings by itself. If a void is experienced while I am merged with the mother figure, I will need to re-experience it as an autonomous self before I can understand it. Otherwise I perceive it only as a dyad and not as a singular, one, separate person.
