When Contaminated by Serpent (Ego) Consciousness: Attaching one's will to an object or goal with the intention of “possessing it” despite the fact that it is not the authentic truth of one's soul.
Pathological Expression: Borderline Personality Disorder where an individual vacillates between and is unable to contain the paradoxical needs of autonomy and dependence.
