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
