@kaia You have taught a man to fish, rather than fished for him, and you are a skillful teacher with a highly developed and efficacious pedagogy.

A barber cutting his own hair may not be an ideal situation, but the ability to do this is how Jung healed himself of his own psychosis through meditative realization. (This is described in his autobiography, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," in which he describes a childhood full of manifest psychotic delusions ("Jesus will eat me in my sleep" because of the way "Goodnight" is coloquially said in German in Switzerland, apparently) and even fully manifest visual, auditory and kinetic hallucinations (his mother opening a cabinet of different heads, removing her own, and putting a different one on.) His moment of meditative realization occurred while sitting on a rock as an adolescent, and achieving ego death by losing sight of where the rock ends and he begins. He healed his own psychosis using nothing but what I am choosing to call alchemy, after his own conception of it. (Please note how this involved no chemistry! There is an amusing alchemical dialogue featuring discussion of how alchemy isn't chemistry, recorded by Islamic scholars seeking to preserve the wisdom of persecuted alchemists fleeing Europe during the Islamic Golden Age. They find the confusion laypeople experience over it hilarious. I can't find it so I'm tagging @sathariel who showed it to me.)

May you know everlasting peace and bodiless rebirth in the Golden Land, my sister. (Though if you want to make it certain through pure psychosuggestion, read my pinned wojak meme and say Namo Amida Buddha 10 times LOL, i love magic.) Namaste, meaning "Peace," and more broadly, Namaskaram, meaning "I recognize the divinity in you." 🙏(I think thinking in Sanskrit aids psychological health too.)

Thank you for helping me resolve mania into passion. I will now attempt to use Zen to achieve Flow, and study today. 😁
