The Persona
The Persona is a complex of external elements surrounding the ego, which according to Jung is the mediator between the external and the internal worlds (Jacobi, 1973). This complex represents the vast tapestry we have woven throughout the course of our lives to define to ourselves and the outside world and separate one from the other. The complex directs how we interact with the world around us and perceive ourselves. Therefore, it is necessary to pull the individual threads of this tapestry apart and put those threads in a new perspective in order for us to evaluate their value, embrace that which resonates strongly with us, and gently set the useless threads aside in order to make way for a new identity that originates from within rather than from external definitions. It is also important that we recognize the external factors that influence our lives and Dasein because they are what constitute our lenses, which are the primary components of our meaning-making apparatus. In Jung’s schema, they are what stand between the mundane self and the individuated self (Bair, 2003; Jung, 1967). They regulate the way in which we see the world, and the way in which the world sees us, and how we interact with the world outside of ourselves.
