Franklin Merrell-Wolff describes the principle of “psychological reductionism” as the thesis that any psychical state of an entity may be interpreted by an analysis of earlier states. He submits that the orientation to “ends”—that is, the idea that any given psychical state may be understood by the goal toward which the entity is striving—may provide a better way interpretation. Wolff then postulates that human beings are primarily “triune beings” consisting of an animal, human and spiritual entity. He goes on to assert that conceptuality is a superimposition of a higher principle upon the animal or sensuous entity. He notes that while most of this humanity identifies with the sensuous entity, some identify with the distinctly human aspect—that is, with the superimposed conceptuality; the next big step is to awaken an identification with the spiritual entity.
