What I concluded from this is that self state is reliant on the existential environment, the state of mental and emotional energy. Hence when self is in a state which renders peace feelings, that self focuses on and enjoys that type of wellbeing. Otherwise the self is upset due to being surrounded and penetrated by distraught energies.

A question:

Can the self be freed from this reliance on the existential environment?

And of course for those who experience no self or who aspire for a state of no-self, that question is excessive.
