But I'm not sure since I don't know exactly what that is. I was just curious what your thoughts were.Everyone is dependent on others in some way. "Individuated" means about the same thing as "self-actualized." It describes a fully conscious individual.
Regarding dependence, Dr. Scott Peck talked about "codependency" and "interdependence." The former is a pathological state of dysfunctional families - for example the emotional state of every family member reflects the emotions of the alcoholic father, or family members presume to read each other's minds and expect the other family members to read theirs. The latter is when independent people perform different roles in a cooperative endeavor.
Not dependent like on Church and using god as an excuse, a different kind of dependence. Basically being responsible for all the actions. This is conscious as well because there is no blame on others, I think it is more like an interdependence.
