Of course, I can certainly merge the two lists. However, to ensure accuracy, it would be more suitable to match and insert the DDC codes from the second list into their appropriate categories from the first list, instead of just combining them. There are instances in the second list where a DDC code could potentially fit into more than one category from the first list, so some judgment is necessary. Here is the merged list:
1. Self-Reflecting: 100, 121, 153, 153.4, 153.6, 153.9, 150.1, 150.13, 150.195, 155, 181, 204
2. Self-Mirroring: 004, 004.01, 004.0151, 004.064, 005, 005.1, 006.3
3. Self-in-Community: 204, 220, 242, 281, 294, 302, 301, 306.6, 291.1, 292.1, 299, 300, 303
4. Self-Expression: 401, 410, 423, 478.3, 741, 780, 808, 400, 401.9
5. Self-as-Life: 530, 531, 532, 533, 537, 570, 572, 573, 574, 575, 576, 577, 581
6. Self-as-Healer: 610, 611, 612, 613, 615, 616
7. Self-in-Universe: 100, 110, 121, 181, 530, 531, 532, 533, 537, 510, 511, 512, 520
8. Self-as-Creator: 004, 004.01, 004.0151, 004.064, 005, 005.1, 620, 621
9. Self-as-Earth-Steward: 570, 572, 573, 574, 575, 576, 577, 550, 551.5, 581
10. Self-as-Social-Being: 302, 301, 300, 303
11. Self-as-Explorer-of-Experience: 700, 701, 704, 741, 780
12. Self-as-Learner-and-Teacher: 100, 121, 155, 155.4, 170, 181, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374
It’s important to note that the Dewey Decimal Classification system’s inherent generality and breadth can lead to some degree of ambiguity in categorization. It is also worth mentioning that the system is more oriented towards categorizing knowledge and less equipped to encapsulate holistic self-understanding aspects perfectly. However, this should still provide a useful and approximate mapping.
