When the inner self and outer ego pursue opposite goals, difficulties arise; if a complete barrier appears between them, the entire self will be deprived of value fulfillment.

当内在自我与外在自我追求相反目标时会产生困难，若两者间出现完全屏障，整个自我将被剥夺价值完成。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment

Approximately 500 people participate in a 12-month longitudinal study, with quarterly measurements of explicit goals, behaviorally revealed preferences, goal conflict, and well-being, plus a 14-day ecological momentary assessment; of these, about 240 are randomly assigned to 8 weeks of goal clarification or active control. Pre-test the test-retest reliability of implicit preference indicators, and compare whether the goal-conflict model or an additional inner-outer self model better predicts out-of-sample outcomes. Without an independent measurement definition of 'complete barrier,' experiments can only adjudicate the weak psychological version, not the absolute assertion.
