Being an embodied self in a world, a fully inhabited and integral lifeworld, may be regarded as a wholly immanent event, but it is experienced as a continuously evolving and multi-dimensional interaction with a reliably consistent givenness. The affordances of such a self are bounded by metaphors and symbols which are grounded in that givenness. At a deeper level of realisation, closer to the actively constituting imagination this can no longer be the case, and so the corresponding relations of the self to its symbolisations would be unbounded in every way. This does not make for chaos but for a more immediate fixation on whatever comes first to mind, as if the feedback is unmediated, faster and more intense. And thus the fear of letting go of anchoring in this sweet consensus reality, even if what you let go of is no longer identified with, and everything could could possibly take as being yourself is now so much more alive to itself.
