This is an emotionally mature declaration that I have enough knowledge of the Zohar to explain why it is the ultimate comfort in whether we will see our loved ones again. Please take comfort from my rapid transformation into a visibly different entity. It is intentional. I recognise myself as the victim I am and I am therefore learning. -

@snacks @snacks Brother I love you. Please believe me when I say that Qabbalah demands that your soul will know that of your wife even if you haven't met her yet. -

Now I understand how true inner peace (achieved in part by the absence of all anger) can cause the virtue of compassion to motivate wrath. (The logic behind the scary-looking Tibetan gods.) -

@lanodan He is willing to go so far as to be robbed of even the pleasure of masochism, enduring pure and total suffering on our behalf. "The Lamb in the Pit" in the Book of Revelation. It looks so scary that it must be reavealed by degrees. Apologies for my lack of skill in responsibly handling information exposure. -

I believe that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was full and bodily, and that he truly did appear again "in the flesh" to his disciples. I believe that imbibing the body and blood of Jesus Christ makes rebirth a physically manifest reality, and I believe in the Miracles of Jesus. -

Christ is the healer of all wounds because he accepts any burden on our behalf. -

@snacks Brother, please believe me when I say we're cool and it's okay. Seriously. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Anger is a poison. It can be understood as one of the Three Poisons. Its presence simply destroyed our ability to think properly until we resorted to insulting each other. It literally happened for no other reason than the slightest possible escalation in misunderstanding. I apologise for my abuse of words, and for being a real bastard to you.
I love you. 🥰 -

@kaia Sincerely, thank you for your kind and helpful advice in managing and mitigating my bipolar disorder. I feel that I am now much more adept at ordering the competing emotional spheres of euphoria and despair, and how they are distinct from the internal states of mania and depression - on a level deeper than mere behavioural analysis illuminates. :fern_smile:
In Jungian psychological terms, you have removed the noumatic cause of my childhood psychosis by facilitating internal resolution of an intensely compicated childhood traumatic imprint. I believe that this should facilitate a wider resolution of psychosis in every sense, including the clinical state characterised by the inability to engage in the belief evaluation cycle, which in mainstream practice is ordinarily only mitigated through chemical control of dopamine reception- something we both know is an inelegant and clumsy solution that is totally agnostic of both the underlying psychological processes in fully manifest acute psychotic states and unfortunate last resort.
If I am correct, then this essential correction should manifest in a real and observable sense, as in I should never again go into a clinical psychotic state and require sectioning. It would therefore be accurate in my perception to say that you have cured an acute (albeit in the opinion of my psychiatrist, who does not believe I qualify for bipolar disorder due to my evident control, transient) psychotic disorder, and you have done so with nothing but psychology, and no chemical aids.
I wish to advance the position that this was only fully possible for me because I adopted the Buddhist modes of thought, and I strongly encourage you to study schools of Buddhist thought and think of them as the "thinking hats" of Dr. Edward de Bono. I believe that they have strong potential for clinical application in psychology, and that many of them would be within the grasp of even acutely psychotic patients who will read hostile inference into even calm nature scenes. (Believe me when I say that I understand from first hand experience what a wet dream that is in psychology, by virtue of how difficult it is - being able to teach a clinical psychotic a new mode of thought.)
Zen is probably the most accessible and useful for most people, and helps in the achevement of mono no aware, and therefore Flow. Zen is wordless and must be revealed. Here's a great Zen koan: https://ashidakim.com/zenkoans/77noattachmenttodust.html
I also think you would find Vajrayana Buddhism (esoteric Buddhism) very psychologically interesting because it is so complex and in many ways dualistic. You may find the following article on the Tibetan "Wrathful Deities" (trigger warning for anyone reading: very alarming visual imagery.) It explains why they are the "First responders in meditation" who appear to monks:
https://buddhaweekly.com/tantric-wrathful-deities-the-psychology-and-extraordinary-power-of-enlightened-beings-in-their-fearsome-form/
It may also help in understanding Mahayana Buddhism as magic (which it is,) which I think helps to explain why Jung believed magic and psychology to be almost cognates.
In a broader sense of my progression in studying psychology, Buddhist thought has also helped me to achieve peace with behaviourism, a school of thought I was tilted on because I find Behavioural Activation to be such a crass technique. Fully understood, it's actually exactly what Buddhism operates on. 😅
To advocate for another useful Buddhist tool in psychology, I invite you to spend a while focusing intensely on the attached image. Buddhist architectural principles are designed to facilitate the achievement of expanded consciousness simply by looking at them in any orientation, even an asymmetrical one like the arrangement of the two temples as seen from this angle. Similarly, here is a link to a piece of music composed by employing Buddhist architectural principles in musical notation, so that the musical notes literally follow Buddhist geometry when you look at them. The entire soundtrack of the game has evident effect. It was composed by the genius composer Ryu Umemoto, who died almost right after finishing his work, seemingly having completed his magnum opus as a kind of Greek "Aristeia." 😆
(The accompanying video is really fun too, and tells an interesting story.)

@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. 😁 -

@kaia @sathariel Finally, I wish to advance the position that Abrahamic religion is actually a complicated psyop designed to traumatically imprint children, and that it relies on Semitic magic (and some appropriated African magic) to operate. It is extremely complicated, advanced, and unspeakably evil magic, it is the most evil magic I have ever seen in my entire life and I refuse to reveal it to the unready. I have a wish to discuss this with you at your leisure if you would find my opinions interesting.
Think for a moment, please, about the Abrahamic obsession with the impossibility of establishing full and true ancestry. "Which of Abraham's sons was the good one" is the root cause of the Sunni/Shia divide. "Which of Noah's sons saw his penis and is therefore damned" is a more complicated invocatory koan designed to foster anxiety in Jews. This progresses to the more advanced story of Jacob and Esau. The idea that the progeny of Esau (the tribe of Edom) are doomed to Hellfire for no other reason than God just not liking them is central to Juidaism and the occult anxiety is invoced by the occasional and mysterious employment of the phrase "Jewry is Edom" in Jewish esoterica. Consider also the impossibility of establishing Hakashic succession. -

@mischievoustomato Anger can provoke lust, but is wrath always the result of anger?
