inner man, n.All

The Inner man (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a stone cut from the mountain without hands — a small stone that becomes a great mountain.

The Inner man (n.) keeps ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠raising a claim no possession can satisfy, and the less he is heard, the more he becomes the source of unexplained unhappiness.

The Inner man (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the inner spiritual man who resembles Christ, the unconscious premise of the alchemists' royal son; it contradicted dogma, and so was repressed and projected.

The Inner man (n.) guides ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the adept to fantasies from which he draws false conclusions; he obeys this future man by knocking at the unknown and disobeys whenever he tries to secure a permanent gain from his work.
