Egos our parts which falsely believe themselves to be ineluctably separate from other selves, but this is an illusion forced into awareness by traumatological and idealization processes which together weave a false - but psychologically necessary - mythological self.

Interesting concept. It would make things like synchronicity click.

This statement made me think back to when I was a child in elementary school or somewhere around that time frame. During my school days I remember being taught how we are all individuals with differences. This concept was strong in schools back then.
I remember there being presentations and little lectures in the classroom about it. This is in the learning environment at a young age. The focus was on we are all individuals with strengths in this or that... kinda of thing. So would this not lend toward what you are saying ? It creates a false mythological self ?
1 Corinthians 13:
12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

So the reality(copy) is a concept in our mind which is representative of reality..but is still a reality itself, which has laws and properties.. some of its own mental laws and some the same.. material as thoughts which have dimensions.. Thinking about something.. surface area and logic.. of the syncretic concept of reality!
