Dissociation and Borderline

JEROME BERNSTEIN'S WORK USING CARL JUNG'S THEORIES

ON DISSOCIATION

https://speakingofjung.com/podcast/2018/1/5/episode-30-jerome-bernstein

Language is a necessary evil in its efforts, Babel like, to clarify, confuse and obfuscate the Truth inherent in each of our psyches. Western civilization has evolved the observer, dissociated from Nature and believer in the words used to "observe" the natural world from outside. The problem created by the observer is the reality that the observer is not separate or detached from what is being observed. All phenomenon is being channeled through the observer's psyche, and, in the western worlds constant obsession with domination and control, mistaken for a separate, remote creation.

Listen to the podcast of Jerome Bernstein as he weaves Jungian theory of dissociative disorder and expands it to provide a context for today's bizarre acceptance, in the United States, of a president who has the emotional and intellectual maturity of an adolescent and is handed the free world to shape in his own dissociated and dysfunctional psyche.

Galileo and the moronic

Galileo and the moronic

It is the nature of humanity that, when we peer deep into our collective soul, we fear what we find. And, although the fear's foundation is within us, we project it onto the first being that strikes us as different. Without the knowledge of our spirit as eternal, humanity turns into itself and devours it's soul over and over.

The profound yet simple insight that something infinitely subtle animates and supports our individual lives demands our awareness. Yet, in the delicate complexity of creation, our senses serve to betray us. We see ourselves as observers set apart and detached from a universe of divine and perfect balance. We are imperfect, and our senses imperfectly reveal the world around us. The imprint created on the mind is predisposed to the DNA of reincarnation. Whether we have been warriors for Truth, or cowardly Judas's of self protection, choosing gold over the infinite jewel of divinity.

Our infinitesimal presence on our tiny globe has been a harbinger of chaos and individual and state sponsored hatred, and, yet, it has not overshadowed the much more powerful Truth that the creation is in balance. Each cacophonous uproar of conflict carries our tiny community closer to the finality of self destruction.

Personal Quotes:

An exceptional gift is the mind. A Gift. Something easily gained. Yes. That describes the mind, easily gained. And easily lost.

Simple narcissists have huge egos, experiencing intense vanity and selfishness, and need constant admiration. Sociopaths are similar, having an “inflated sense of self” and of entitlement, the Huffington Post explains. “They tend to blame others for their own failures.” They also break the law or social rules because they think they are above those rules.

Fall Winds, Dancing Trees

Fall Winds, Dancing Trees

Framed by the windows, the branches rise and fall in the current of wind; the wind's early fall chill enlivens my thoughts and I am young.

Trees, dense, graceful in their rhythm. They remain in place like inverted anchors reaching to a timeless ancient ship moored deep in the earth, holding it against the earth's tidal rock.

So, The Dance of the Wu Li Masters floats up from decades past, a conflux of awareness and memories. Illustrations of a lifetime woven into a tapestry of that illusive observer, self.

Mind so oft confused with self, caged in the passage of time, till corporeal ending sets Mind free, the Eagle receives it.

Mind returns to birth and brings to the divine the sacred experience it creates.

Change.
