Images of fulfilment, not merely satisfaction but perfect goodness, form the pole-stars for desire as the purpose behind purpose. Such an image, which can be conveyed as well by sound as sight, is immediately understood by a kind of fleeting virtual identification, as a generalised objectification of subjectivity and subjectification of objectivity. It is what is real to the will no matter how reason might object. The self-consciousness of will unfolds into a myriad of attitudes in relation to its matters, as the possible, probable, impossible, improbable, the mediate, the shareable or the unshareable, the blocked, the despised, the envied, the lost, the future, the assumed, the refused and so on. More commonly there are also the complex attitudes that involve two or more of such nodes of value, taken to be real, which add foregrounding and backgrounding in various dimensions, including that of the other, to the simple attitudes. A value considered impossible will persist as context to a value pursued as possible. The self inhabits or identifies itself in these attitudes of the will but they always have a secondary and subjective quality to the imagined, experienced, or glimpsed fulfilments of the images. These are real both as believed in and as believed shared with any semblable, and they invest the attitudes with a kind of reality, maddeningly ghost-like and stubborn, known as the psyche.
