RB (7/1/23)
i’d like to write a ballad for the artist that lives within you:
Thank you, oh dear fire, for lighting my way through the darkness and thank you ^for providing the heat that shields me from the coldness from their hearts like palms against steel • my dear fire, it is what captures my living attention when there is all of space to be gazed upon
“Jung – healing” (7/2/23)
“Where your fear is, there is your task”
Predispositions tied to symptoms
– Anxiety, low energy, lazy, too high strung
Chronic illness’ linked to these personality traits
• Treat the person if you want to see the symptoms resolved
• The patient’s own healing
heroes journey
Symptoms -> chronic -> linked to way person thinks, lives
Knowledge that benefits the person
Most difficult knowledge is self-knowledge
easy to be objective w/ others and subjective w/ ourselves
What are my patterns -> self sabotage, things do to myself, diet, things I do in my relationship, in my marriage
They’re all on me
Where your fear is, there is your healing.
“Understanding Personality And Disease Archetypes:
Rigidity & Laxity
. YANG Yin .” (7/3/23)
• Yin & Yang ☯
Rigidity: hyper aroused nervous system, more tense, anxious, neurosis, excessive worrying, every little thing is a problem to be fixed now, excessive urgency in living
Laxity: Laziness, undisciplined eating, can’t exercise, hard to get out of bed, lax eating, lax approach towards life, no urgency to live
no deliberate living
Bring personality traits to the middle
Damp constitution – Dry them up a bit & their bloating will get better
Dry Constitution – Give them moistening herbs so that they’re not drying out too much
Bring the psyche to the middle • coming back to the middle will be healing heroes journey
Heal the person to heal the disease
Fears – what you’ve been avoiding
Traits, valves, thought systems
“Jung – Confront oneself” (7/3/23)
Confront oneself – fear of confronting oneself;
Jung – confronting oneself like going to the depths of hell & confronting the shadow aspects of ourselves is where the greatest healing begins
Understand where we are on that yin and yang spectrum
“Nietzsche & Jung: Healing your inner child” (7/3/23)
• Child -> Metamorphosis •-> becoming the child
- Crucial realization
-> Child represents innocence, forgetfulness, a new beginning, a game, self-propelling wheel, a first motion, a sacred yet ——> relevant in self-improvement
• Shadow -> Jungian shadow work
- repression, avoidance, void
• Rooted within childhood trauma which we repress from ourselves
• Develope self-awareness of ourselves and of our past
“Nietzsche” (7/3/23)
Nietzche identified the child as what should be the final metamorphosis of all human souls • spirits in this life ->
That life is at it’s best when we finally embody the characteristics of the inner child -> to be of complete innocence, forgetfulness, playfulness
view of life as a sacred nest of spontaneity & play
Pinnacle of existence
-> Remember being a child, life was euphoric -> enjoy life

Within the collective physical manifestation of society lies the brains upon the floors of individual craniums, of which provides support for the entity that provides power to the subsequent actions that in turn fuel its own existence. In consideration of the ego to this extent, it may be scary to think about the connection between each other’s brains as that sounds like it would be an invisible concept. The truth of the matter is not as plain as say a cup of coffee in front of you on the desk. It is rather straight forward enough if we believe thoughts to be true sentiments, no less so than the cup of coffee. Albeit the appearance of non existentance, there is a force that is excreted by a brain’s neural circuitry, thus inducing physical properties to coarse through the physical entity that is one’s own being. This may sound astounding if we take into account what this means, and that is the thought is a fucking real thing! It’s almost unbelievable to a literal extent. Yet so be it that the thought in itself is a pulse of fury or fancy that flows on the wires of our imaginations. Or is it our imaginations? May be it one whole imagination that gifts us all the choice to either create our own realm or instead embark on the realms of others so that we may live vicariously through their creations? Either of which seem to content the individual, but yay be it not the point, albeit a good one. Nay, one must instead consider the implications of such a standard of being, that is to say if we are all secretly gardeners of each other’s fates, in both the worst and best of ways, not to mention the meh of ways, such be it the grays, and thus this matters! That is so much to say that in fact the imagination is, if you have not figured it out by now, a massive arena where the most playful to the most sleepy go to play forever and beyond! In so being relevant to the cure of current state of affairs, may we embark past this original fear of the collective then? For based on my reasoning, that is if you agree, then you are going to be doing it anyway.
To such a degree, consider with me the dreams, maybe they’re only my dreams, though this is highly unlikely, that we can achieve agreement on the most base of reasoning among us, that is to say that we disdain the violence beset against each other and against ourselves and against our loved ones. This reading may likely never reach the eyes that need to read it the most, yet endeavor with me as the thoughts for a fate towards an everlasting humanity that endeavors upon the stars together will become the words of logic within the new generations lexicon.
