Described by the author as a key to the entire corpus of his
work, The Commanding Self describes that mixture
of primitive and conditioned responses, common to everyone,
which rules the personality most of the time and which inhibits
and distorts human progress and understanding, providing a
barrier against extra-dimensional perception.

Story
from the Mulla Nasrudin Corpus
HOW TO KEEP IT GOING
Mulla Nasrudin used to stand in the street on market-days, to be pointed
out as an idiot.
No matter how often people offered him a large and a small coin, he
always chose the smaller piece.
One day a kindly man said to him:
'Mulla, you should take the bigger coin. Then you will have more money
and people will no longer be able to make a laughing-stock of you.'
'That might be true,' said Nasrudin, 'but if I always take the larger,
people will stop offering me money to prove that I am more idiotic than
they are. Then I would have no money at all.'
