This paper describes narcissism as our natural, infant-like behaviour, and specifies three characteristics relating to the evacuation and avoidance of distress, to control, and to distancing from relationship. It suggests that the processes of incarnation and individuation represent the development of the early ego and the 'resolution' of these narcissistic ways of being, including escape from the 'mirror trap'. The development of the early, controlling 'homunculus-ego' entails the loosening and broadening of ego-identifications and the ego becoming subject to the Self. This is an embodied-relational-social-spiritual process outlined in detail by the full 20 woodcuts of the Rosarium Philosophorum, and specifically the lunar (relational) and solar (self-expressive) paths, which are explored herein. These processes are illustrated with respect to the interaction between infant and caregiver, clinical vignettes and examples from the political sphere.

自我、他者和个性化：通过玫瑰园的月球和太阳路径解决自恋

本文将自恋描述为我们自然的、婴儿般的行为，并详细说明了与疏散和避免痛苦、控制和疏远关系相关的三个特征。它表明，化身和个体化的过程代表了早期自我的发展和这些自恋存在方式的“解决”，包括摆脱“镜子陷阱”。早期的、控制性的“homunculus-ego”的发展需要自我认同的松散和扩大，以及自我变得服从于自我。Rosarium Philosophorum 的全部 20 幅木刻详细概述了一个具身-关系-社会-精神过程，特别是本文探讨的月球（关系）和太阳（自我表达）路径。
