Unconflicted behavior is so powerful, nobody can rival it. Everyone else is so unsure. That’s the whole edge.
Too many stimuli and we get used to them — stop noticing the small things, they carry less impact, we tolerate more incoherence than we should. Some of that traces back to not enough contact with the mother: the state of the mother defines the child at a deep level, from body to mind, before any of it is conscious. Development seen from this angle is worth sitting with. (The fields at work here are basically what the orkz have — same idea, different lore.)
Is violence from culture? Jung’s subconscious would agree it matters, personally and at the bigger-than-personal level, ego included — free-floating anxiety looking for a target, and that runs deep. Culture is a survival tool, but a misused one now: society built on “no” because oral instruction and physical instruction don’t match, nature against culture. If shame has to be used, nurture has to follow it.
Christ’s message got changed from love to guilt, because guilt is what spreads. Without culture, are we beasts? Without law, are we lawless? I don’t think I would be. Can’t say the same for everyone. Saints seem to show up anyway, law or none.
He writes from his own experience, and that alone gives me hope I can get there too. Is it really hope, though, or something closer to a plan? — Anyway. Six hours reading at this point, brain’s had enough for today.
Seems like all I actually have to do is keep accumulating and stay open, the way I already have been, and the answers arrive on their own. Give in to the universe — to everything — and all of it comes back, that’s Blake’s take: no law needed once you have the heart. Jesus’s deep quotes are the same instruction: open the heart to receive.
Don’t tolerate evil, men. But see god in everyone, in everything, at once — it’s the same order bringing you what you need to face. Open mind, open knowledge — that’s what lets the subconscious actually find the answers to what you’re asking.
