I am sharing from the heart as a magical realist. Magick realism, or marvelous realism is a style of fiction that paints a realistic view of the modern world while also adding magical elements. It is sometimes called fabulism, in reference to the conventions of fables, myths, and allegory.
It's not totally fiction, one's imagination makes it real.
"Freud was looking for a rational, causal explanation for the subconscious world, which he reduced to taboos, family romance, sex and death drives. Being a hard-nosed 19th Century empiricist, he was skeptical, or perhaps even terrified, of esoteric phenomena; he told Jung to beware what he saw as a ‘black tide of mud’ in mysticism. But Jung was a mystic, and his interest lay precisely in the world of the unseen and occult."
I am not a pure empiricist or skeptic, that way leads to the dark side. I'm a syncretic mystic, but I don't need to fuse things together, they fall together.
It can be difficult to make out what one like my self is saying, cause it isnt always rational.
It's a high wire act, YMMV.
I think I have the basics though, we use consciousness to uncover ourselves
Fascist Mysticism is evil perhaps.
I'm working on it.
"Freud had no room for occult speculation: he seemed to view mysticism as a neurotic disease, or at least something that should be understood in scientific terms. My sense is that this same Freudian fear and loathing of mysticism — a certain terror of the irrational, the dark, and the unknown — is what people fear in Jordan Peterson, who is a scientist but also a Jungian mystic. It is therefore no surprise that Pankaj Mishra’s recent hit piece is entitled: ‘Jordan Peterson & Fascist Mysticism’.
This fear of ‘the black tide of mud’ continues on in the culture wars. The ‘hard-nosed rationalists’ are at war with the ‘mystics’. People like Sam Harris, whose view is that ‘intelligence is a matter of information processing in physical systems[i]’ seems similarly worried about mysticism. Neuroscientist and psychoanalyst Iain McGilchrist, on the other hand, believes that this is a reductive view: “Is consciousness a product of the brain?’, he wrote. ‘The only certainty here is that anyone who thinks they can answer this question with certainty has to be wrong[ii]’. Freud and Jung fought this same eternal war between reason and mystery, and the conflict rages on.
Certainly, fear of fascist mysticism is not unfounded: after all mysticism, the occult, and the ‘collective unconsciousness’ are terrifying because we don’t understand that much about them — and some doors are best left shut. Nazism, for example could be thought of as a kind of pre-rational mysticism, and Hitler a kind of negative mystic monster. However, was Jung a Nazi, as Pankaj Mishra seems to suggest? Actually, such rumors have since been proved unfounded: Jung actually risked his life in a conspiracy to bring down Hitler."
We can't judge, but here we are at war again, mind and heart. Jung is the key, the wolf in their hen house. An archetype is a limit.
Lucifer is not pure evil, he is pure Light. Christ is a fool as much as a hero. We can't just paint them as one thing, their myths embody multiple archetypes as we each do.
"For example, Christ is an archetype of the ultimate hero, Lucifer of pure evil, Judas of betrayal, Cain and Abel of the warring brothers, and Adam and Eve of the fallen man and women. Archetypes are representations of a complex reality — the grammar or code with which we understand and compose the human story. Like piano chords, some are dark and some light, some major and some minor, but each has a certain axiomatic quality. The amount of archetypes are limited but they can be arranged in limitless ways — just as the few notes of the western scale contain the possibility of infinite variation.
William Blake understood archetypes before the word was in circulation. He called The Bible ‘The Great Code of Art’, which is another way of saying that The Bible is the book that contains the archetypes. This can be understood, with or without religious belief, because enduring stories are existential, rather than merely moralistic or religious — atheists can benefit from knowing the mythopoetics of The Bible, as well as believers.
The Jewish born Christian mystic Simone Weil was an atheist when she had what she described as a religious awakening. She subsequently asked herself: how could this happen to a non-believer? She came to an interesting conclusion: that it was only though honest skepticism could she have found God: “One of the most exquisite pleasures of human love” she wrote “ — to serve the loved one without his knowing it — is only possible, as regards the love of God, through atheism.[iv]” In other words, the person serving the highest truth under whatever banner is more ‘godly’ than the unthinking, dogmatic ‘believer’. And even more radically, a loss of faith might be necessary for the birth of a genuine spiritual awakening. Perhaps our post-modern loss of faith is necessary for a more genuine future mysticism to be born.
When asked if he believed in God once, Jung replied ‘I don’t need to believe. I know’[v]. Peterson, on the other hand, gives a humbler answer: ‘That depends on what you mean by God[vi]’ or ‘I don’t believe in him, but I am afraid that He is real’. Peterson has revived the notion that we should fear God and Hell. This is appalling to progressives, who want to imagine the world John Lennon sang about ‘with no hell below and above us only sky’. But Peterson understands what the mystic Gurdjieff meant when he talked about the necessity to understand ‘the terror of the situation’. Perhaps mysticism cannot be born prior to a certain salutary terror."
I can speak or point to this terror.
The intellect serves embodied wisdom.
This is where I am floating.
One must embody Truth.
"Imitation of Christ — which Jung described as the hero journey — is no easy task. And membership in a religious organization obviously doesn’t make one holy. A sort of total humility, total surrender to the investigation of truth does. Peterson did not fall into Coffin’s Christian triumphalism, nor did he allow himself to be told which books to read.
So who else fears Peterson? Intellectuals and leftists, obviously. The ‘black tide’ they fear is their own shadow — the shadow of utopian dreams. The world of perfect equality has often led to a world of perfect horrors, as the 20th Century has shown us. We don’t want to see this shadow because it contains all the potential horrors that we are capable of, despite our professed compassion for the world. Pankaj Mishra’s violent — and yes racist — description of Peterson as ‘romancing the noble savage[viii]’ is a good illustration of that very shadow. He is an anti-racist who, despite himself blurts out racist epithets. Is he unaware of his own intolerance and resentment, and perhaps of his own envy — the envy of an intellectual for a real embodied philosopher? At least that’s what it seems like to me.
The ‘leftists’ call Peterson fascist because he holds up a mirror to their own fascistic desire to control the conversation. The language police want to control and compel speech — and are particularly humorless. Perhaps they have no connection to the ‘deplorables’ or lower classes who they are trying to liberate, and are envious because Peterson has climbed down from the ivory tower to speak directly to the masses. Another one of Peterson’s sins is being popular — he is not an elitist. As I have joked before, he is leading the real revolution of the proletariat."
Perhaps we have been overwhelmed by the "devouring mother" myth we fears the man maturing, so he is kept a boy, well, Trump is the result.
"Each person has a shadow to reckon with — the shadow of the left is the devouring mother; the shadow of the right is the tyrannical father. The former wants ‘safety’, the latter ‘control’. And the really difficult reckoning — which Jung brought forward and which Peterson has popularized — is that wisdom comes from acknowledging the dark aspects of our soul, which no one really wants to do. To know that the worst lies hidden in ourselves is a terrifying realization. But the alternative, as Peterson keeps saying, is much worse: to remain an overgrown child, or a tyrant, or a devouring mother, or a disembodied intellectual; it is to become disassociated with the body and possessed by various ideological cults on the left and on the right. The alternative, as Peterson has said, is indeed hell."
I choose to wake up and not slumber in adolescence by claiming my power through responsible exercise of it. I will not live in Hell or Heaven.
"nothing threatens the status quo more than a mystic. That doesn’t make him Jesus or The Buddha however — he has his faults — but I would say he is at least a bodhisattva. I say that hard mystical realism and spiritual illumination is what can heal the various divides in our hearts — but again, this is something I cannot prove empirically. I don’t have to believe it, I know it."
I really enjoyed the article above, they are onto it.
What to do when knowers of reality are hated and ignored?
That's not my problem, I know what to do and when, that's good enough.
