I found this short video fascinating, especially when Marie-Louise von Franz (who is incredible btw) talks about the concept of a national shadow and how knowing one's personal shadow can help keep one from falling into a collective shadow. But the rest is great too.
Ho scoperto grazie a @jones_@kolektiva.social "Introfada: Lotta antisistema del militante introverso" di Hamja Ahsan.
In questo articolo provo, partendo dal manifesto di Ahsan, a decostruire la tipizzazione junghiana estroverso/introverso (mostrandone il carattere storicamente determinato) e a superarla proponendo un'interpretazione dell'introversione in chiave materialista. Cerco poi di rileggere il fenomeno hikikomori come prodotto della società neo-liberale. Infine rispondo ad Ahsan con un anti-manifesto.
Mi piacerebbe scrivere una serie di articoli come questo, in cui, mettendo insieme le intuizioni di vari autori, viene delineata una teoria sociologica del disagio contemporaneo, da contrapporre alle teorie dominanti di stampo psichiatrico e terapeutico.

“From the time of Sigmund #Freud and Carl #Jung and to our present System 1 theory of fast, instinctual cognition, #psychology has acknowledged and explored the submerged irrational aspects of mind. But this has had little impact on #education. The pre-rational mind is treated as a liability rather than a resource to be cultivated.”

Grabbing a table and an americano at farmer’s union and working on my #screenplay by way of #Jung, #tarot, and #archetypes.
I've been reading Robert A. Johnson's book, Inner Work. I was lead to this book because I've been reading Jung and wanting to remember my dreams. I've enjoyed what I've read so far. And now I just bought Johnson's book, Owning Your Own Shadow, after watching the excellent video below.

Refulgent dream in which I get lost on the high plains, having skipped the Interstate, am trying to organize my plethora of clothing and am more scattered than I want to be or present myself, fall in with a rogue crew who at first help me get oriented and then take all my belongings, and in the denoument find myself on a campus of gorgeous albeit empty Mexican resort. When do I dream about being nudist –it would save me a lot of trouble. Anyway, utterly characteristic mise-en-scène.
I found this film fascinating. I have been reading the works of Carl Jung lately (and other works about his thought) and finding it all quite fascinating. And I've been thinking a lot about the concept of the Shadow in Jung's ideas as potentially important material for my current screenplay, and maybe all future screenplays. Anyway, this film is from 1986 and the YouTube version is low-res, but it's still worth the watch in my opinion.
I found this video essay a fascinating exploration of Stanley Kubrick's 1987 #film, FULL METAL JACKET in light of Jung's concept of the Shadow.

So, many years ago (the mid 1990s), I collaborated with my friends to create one of the first online magazines -- What? Magazine Online. One of my feature stories was, "Who Is The Antichrist?". It was mostly tongue-in-cheek except when it came to one "candidate" -- #RalphReed of the #ChristianCoalition. Rancid Ralph and his ilk (#JerryFalwell, #PatRobertson) have been my mortal enemies for many years. As a NB, Pagan, Environmentalist, Green Socialist, who stood up for the rights of others, I saw them as being the polar opposite of everything I believed in -- like having a living #Biosphere, being in harmony with #Nature, sharing with others, and respecting the rights of non-white and Indigenous folks.
I also had a nightmare vision of the world we're close to living in now, and we're at the crossroads between good and evil (good being that which unites us with God, Nature, each other, and evil being that which separates us from God, Nature, each other. Something I distilled from reading too much #Jung and #Nietzche). Stand up against Fascism (including #CorporateColonialism). It's all about power, abuse of Nature and people, and making a buck. We know better than that (I hope).
Beware the Shadow Work craze.
It’s difficult.
I just watched an utterly fascinating #documentary about an absolutely remarkable #artist, Rosaleen Norton. The film is called: THE WITCH OF KINGS CROSS (2020).
Blurb: "Inspired by the work of #AleisterCrowley, #bohemian artist Rosaleen Norton advocated a #pantheist vision of #witchcraft, and a #sexual #magic freed from religious and moral rules."
I'd never heard of Norton before.
Warning: sex, nudity, etc., etc.

“Thus, then, in accordance with the likely account, we must declare that this Cosmos has verily come into existence as a Living Creature endowed with soul and reason […] a Living Creature, one and visible, containing within itself all the living creatures which are by nature akin to itself.”
