作为超越自我、半神圣形象的这个自我单元体于是分成了多数

其实,这个单元体在佛洛依德的理论里称作“超我”,佛氏把“自我”分成“本我 id”、“自我 ego”和“超我 super ego”。

An example of the usage of "supraordinate" or "superordinate":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superordinate_goals

Superordinate goals, in psychology, are goals that are achieved by the contribution and co-operation of two or more people, with individual goals that are normally in opposition to each other, working together.

Muzafer Sherif (1954) performed a study involving a group of boys at a camp that were in opposition to one another, one named Eagles, one named the Rattlers, in a zero-sum situation. The opposing groups had strong negative feelings towards each other, resulting in hostile actions such as 'garbage wars'.

Sherif was able to successfully bring these two groups together by using superordinate goals, such as solving the problems of a breakdown of the water supply and the breakdown of a food delivery truck. The cumulative effect of these incidents was friendship formation across group boundaries. On the last day, both groups elected to ride home together on the same bus.

多谢您的提示,这个词确实应译为“超越”、“置于……之上”的意思,又参考了下面Shirley Lao的分析及原作的上下文内容,最后决定译作“那个超拔凡尘、半神形象的自性(self)整体已然分裂为多个存在”。

Reference: The possible interpretation of "supraordinate" from the perspective of Carl Jung

Reference information:
The question has been excerpted from the followings:
... symbolises multiple, unintegrated parts of the mind:'we could say that the unity of the self as a supraordinate, semi-divine figure has broken up into a plurality.
http://books.google.com/books?id=zHT8CeeiWlIC&pg=PA324&lpg=P...


... In Jung's words, "The 'supraordinate personality' is the total man., that is, man as he really is, not as he appears to himself. ... It is the 'self', thus making a sharp distinction betwee the ego, which extends only as far as the conscious mind, and the whole of the personality, which includes the conscious and the unconscious component. ...
http://www.ejop.org/archives/2007/02/the_archetypal.html


The term "supraordinate" here may mean "of a higher order". In this sense, it is opposite to the word "subordinate". However, the term "supraordinte" also has the notion of "grouping". In this sense, it refers to wholeness or integration. Please refer to the concept of "supraordinate schemas" in Page 55 of
http://books.google.com/books?id=c2vof-8Gq1MC&pg=PA54&lpg=PA...


I personally think that Jung's use of the word "supraordinate" here refers to a higher-order being that is able to integrate the underlying subordinte elements into this supraordinate being. In this way, the supraordinate, self-divine being is holistic and unintegrated.

Maybe I should rephrase it in this way:

I think that Jung's use of the word "supraordinate" here means "of a higher order" in the sense that the supraordinate being is able to integrate the underlying subordinte elements into a higher-order whole. In this way, the supraordinate, self-divine being is holistic and integrated.
