What this paper intents to introduce is a new concept, perhaps certainly exists to give us our personality or sense of self, as well as our daily realities. This was part of our psychic plan devised by Nature, but not yet studied by our knowledge institutions. We are kind of 'caught up' in our 'physicalism'(matter centered world view) ideology, hence, never get out of it and research into anything 'psychic' as such. We, that is our most important knowledge institution, SCIENCE, believes that whatever we experience as mind/psyche is the the product of our brain; absolutely a by-product of the the physical. Better we remember that if physical world has certain sensible organisation, there would certainly be a very similar,sensible organisation for our psyche too. No need of assuming that mind is a by- product of matter. Material world, perhaps was a means for the mind to express itself. Our knowledge need not be a slave of such baseless assumption. It need to be open, and our 'physicalism' assumption should not hamper this openness.
Similar to the essential 'physical space' requirement for physical objects to exist, 'psychic-space' also essential for SELVES to exist.
Here the subject matter is the reality of a PSYCHIC SPACE, an essential necessity for each mind to exist/dwell. 'Physical space' for each object to exist is part of physical law. This law is also similar; each mind creates a similar space to exist itself. Such self defined, self chosen space has a specific role in constituting his personality or sense of self. It is a notional entity, but it seems the essence of humans than his 'structural' entity, the body.( The Physical) Following paper might explain this vital difference between 'essence' and 'structure':

Examples of the essential requirement of PSYCHIC-SPACE
The best example to understand this phenomenon is the mind-space that a modern 'terrorist' creates for himself. He first self-chooses or falls victim to the indoctrination of someone else with a certain violent ideology, then involves himself with a group of persons with a similar ideology. Thus a terrorist is born.
Similar is the birth of religious fanatics too. They, out of rigorous religious belief or devotion to certain religious teachings, or simply out of the necessity of the self to belong to a strong group of similar minded persons, adopts a 'psychic-space' to live with. Minds here necessarily occupies a some what similar, one, psychic space. Their minds dwell there, hence a similar behavior pattern too originates. One can observe this pattern of minds during Hitler's holocaust times. An entire nation perhaps had adopted a similar psychic-space. We can observe this mind pattern in India these days.Hindus of the country have opted to dwell in one kind of psychic-space. They feel that, like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, India can be a Hindu dominated country. They feel that every European nation, though not declared formally, is a Christian Nation. So why not a unique Hindu nation?
Political parties these days put all-out efforts to create such 'psychic-spaces' to manage majority votes. Then they use it for forming government and occupy the seats of power. Democracy unfortunately has reduced to such an exercise. How modern advertisers create particular 'psychic-spaces' to create demand for their products and sell more? Their tactics are in everyone's knowledge today.
Even in professional knowledge communities such as that of science and philosophy too, perhaps it is the existence of such 'psychic-spaces' does the trick in their professional work fields. Their existential necessity to belong to a group and create their professional self becomes a primary priority than research on life and existence beyond identities and selves.
An identity need is an existential phenomenon. Perhaps the whole life exercise was meant to achieve this essential end, to create knowing entities. Humans need groups to achieve this entity and identity needs. Following paper on the WORLD concept explains this phenomenon:

We know, though we had plenty of objects in the world, knowing entities are scarce. Perhaps nature or existence gains nothing from having great masses of animal-like beings, or great societies. It is a vital question before mankind and her knowledge institutions whether individuals or societies /COLLECTIVES are the unit of existence of nature. Following paper exclusively delves on this question: http://selfandworldblogs.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-unit-of-existence-is-individuals-or.html
The crucial relevance of the subject matter
What is the crucial relevance of our subject matter? We have seen that almost all in our examples seen above, the psychic space is self-chosen, self created or one's falling victim to forceful propaganda of interested third parties. In other words, all were SPECULATIVE ideologies of selves or third parties.
Isn't there a nature's own psychic-space, where, her own originally desired SPACE for ardently seeking minds to grasp and internalize? There is no logic to refute the existence of such a Nature desired psychic-space, and there is no logic to refute that humans might be 'prohibited' from grasping and internalizing and living with such actual, original 'space' for the minds. Here the seeking humans may be required to ABANDON their adopted self-identities or sense of selves, depended on SPECULATIVE ideologies or PSYCHIC-SPACES. They may have to abandon their sense of selves that were formed by establishing relation with some, odd collectives, details of which were listed above in some paragraphs. Quantum physics had clearly established, that our realities are the by-products of our encounter (with our own presuppositions, our methods etc) with the objects or events we seek to know. No independent reality exists other than that arises as a result of its encounter with the observer! Here the principle of scientific OBJECTIVITY may have to take a back-seat. With what kind of psychic-space the observer has approached the object or event is the deciding factor of realities.
If a nature is there with her original PREDILECTIONS, those predilections are present here around us, in the form of an original 'psychic-space'. No doubt, such 'space' will be the most desired and the most original that humans could adopt to live with, to achieve the most meaningful lives! A sense of self constituted, formed on the basis of such an original SPACE for the mind will be the most sought after goal for all humans in life.
Such an original 'psychic-space' is there behind our mind and her observational devices. Mind perhaps is often a veil. It conceals than reveals. It can seek out the right psychic-space, and observe and live with it, so that mind always reveals, without concealing such original aspects of existence.
