Aggrandized xyypMar би, XөHдийpcөH Soul: ЗoBHилыH Hэr эpиH үeд зaH Hb xaTиHrиpшcaHы pc лд “Civilized man is in danger of losing all contact with the world of instinct –a danger that is still further increased by his living an urban existence in what seems to be a purely man-made environment. This loss of instinct is largely responsible for the pathological condition of our contemporary culture.” – Carl Jung We are living in a time of great transition. But what are we transitioning from, and toward? It can be argued that we are transitioning from an ego-centric understanding of our place in the world toward a soul-centric understanding of our place in the world. The Ego is linear, individualistic, boundary-laden, and me-centered. The Soul is cyclical, holistic, horizon-open, and we-centered. We need a balance of both in order to be a healthy, progressive species. But as it stands today, we are extremely imbalanced and the scales are grossly in the favor of the ego. Our experience of dislocation is the result of a culture out of joint. Our feeling of isolation and diminution is testimony to the unsustainable condition that we have gotten ourselves into. This has led to dissociation and alienation on an epic scale. Linear ego-centrism doesn’t just alienate nature, it alienates individuals as well. Alienating nature is alienating the psyche. This is because nature (to include human nature) is cyclical, not linear. It seems linear because of our short lives and the cause-and-effect makeup of our brains, but it is irrevocably cyclical and any deviation from this cycle has enormous consequences. We are witnessing some of those consequences today. In nature for example: climate change, environmental collapse, mass extinction, overpopulation and mass starvation, to name just a few; and in the psyche: dissociation, disillusionment, зoBHил, and an impressive array of neuroses. These are just the tip of a gargantuan iceberg of physical and psychological carnage left behind by a carnivorous, exploitative, dog-eat-dog system of dysfunctional economics ran by ego-driven sycophants. The cost of an aggrandized ego is an alienated soul. When we alienate ourselves from nature we break the vital cycle between nature and the human soul. We forget how to relate to our Great Mother. Her “face” becomes lost in the quagmire of human-centric words and overly-masculine attempts at conquering and controlling her. Even the women of our culture have been pigeonholed into overly-masculine mindsets. They’ve been forced into forgetting the face of the Mother within them. The hyperreal (Baudrillard), hyper-masculine, hyper-abstraction of modern day culture is a giant unsustainable wall of smoke and mirrors that the majority of people can’t see through. We are blinded by the cogs and gears of a system coercing us into believing that our only worth is to slave away at a job that means nothing other than to serve society; which is fine if that society is healthy, sustainable and nature-based, but horrific if that society is based upon exploitation, violence and rape as ours is. In a culture where the vital link between human-nature and the natural world has been cut, we are daily faced with puppets masquerading as people, and blind somnambulist plutocrats with wads of money for brains and possessive fists for hearts. But here’s the thing: it’s not their fault. It’s not our fault. We were raised in a society that is hell-bent on destroying the world and disguising it as production. It’s not our fault we were conditioned to be cogs in a death-machine disguised as noble citizenry. It’s not our fault we were raised cut off from our Great Mother and, thereby, cut off from our souls. It’s not our fault our psyche, our need to connect, has been suppressed and stuffed down into the furthest reaches of our unconscious, where it festers and poisons us to no end. Humankind started from an unconscious state (the Id) interconnected with nature and the community. The development of consciousness (the Ego) over the last million years or so has given us great power, but it has also given us an enormous burden, one that we’ve so far been unable to bear. And with the continued evolution of our consciousness, our need for greater responsibility is growing. The problem is we have not been responsible with our power thus far. We must put ourselves in check. But putting the Ego in check takes a heroic act of responsibility. It is a chastening of sorts, Hb metanoia, a melting down of psychic energies so that a new, healthier, more adaptive energy can emerge. Like Jung said, “What is needed is to call a halt to the fatal dissociation that exists between mans’ higher and lower being; opoHд Hb, we must unite conscious man with primitive man.” What’s needed is for us to be responsible with our power. We do this by keeping our egos in check, by balancing our higher and lower forces so as to become healthy, individuated, holistically aware beings. What’s needed is a grand symbolic gesture that represents this balancing act. And there is perhaps no more courageously sweeping a gesture than that of counting coup. The concept of counting coup is a Native American act of courage referring to the winning of prestige in battle. A person wins prestige by uncommon acts of bravery in the face of an enemy. Danger and risk is required to count coup and it can be recorded by touching an enemy in battle and then escaping unharmed. As far as counting coup on our ego is concerned, it is a psychological gambit, where we hold our metaphorical “coup stick” warningly over our pampered, inert, narcissistic, aggrandized ego and keep tabs on its disproportionate power. Counting coup on our ego turns the tables on the Soul-Ego struggle for power. By keeping our egos in check we allow for soul-centric energies to emerge. Through conscious, disciplined acts of counting coup, we unite our inner conscious man with our inner primitive man, thereby uniting nature and psyche, cosmos and conscience, ‘we’ and ‘me,’ and bringing equilibrium back between Soul and Ego, and a balance back to the human condition and its place within the greater condition of the Earth.

Aggrandized Ego, Otuđeno Soul: Osporava atrofija Instinct u doba tjeskobe "Civilizirani čovjek je u opasnosti da izgubi svaki kontakt sa svijetom instinktom-opasnost koja se još dodatno povećan za njegov dnevni urbani postojanje u tome što se čini posve umjetan okoliš. Ovaj gubitak instinkta je u velikoj mjeri odgovoran za patološko stanje naše suvremene kulture. "- Carl Jung Živimo u vrijeme velike tranzicije. No, ono što su mi prebacuje iz, i prema? Može se reći da smo se okreću od ego-centric razumijevanje naše mjesto u svijetu prema soul-u središtu razumijevanje naše mjesto u svijetu. Ego je linearna, individualistički, Granica natovaren, i ja-centered. Duša je ciklična, holistički, Horizon-open, i mi-centered. Trebamo ravnotežu, kako u cilju da bude zdrava, progresivne vrste. No, kao što stoji i danas, smo iznimno su neuravnotežena i vage su grubo u korist ega. Naše iskustvo iščašenja je rezultat kulture iz zajedničke. Naš osjećaj izolacije i smanjenje svjedoči o neodrživom stanju da smo se uvalili u. To je dovelo do odvajanja i otuđenja na epski. Linearni ego-centrizam ne samo otuđiti prirodu, to otuđuje pojedince, kao i. Otuđio prirodu je otuđio psihe. To je zato priroda (uključiti u ljudsku prirodu) je ciklična, ne linearno. Čini linearni zbog naših kratkih života i uzročno-posljedičnom šminka našeg mozga, ali to je nepovratno cikličke i svako odstupanje od ovog ciklusa ima ogromne posljedice. Svjedoci smo neke od tih posljedica danas. U prirodi, na primjer: klimatske promjene, Kolaps na okoliš, masovno izumiranje, prenapučenosti i masovno izgladnjivanje, da spomenemo samo neke; i na psihu: odvajanje, razočaranje, tjeskoba, i impresivan niz neuroza. To su samo vrh ledenog brijega divovskim fizičkog i psihičkog krvoprolića ostavili mesožderi, eksploatatorski, pas-jede-psa sustav disfunkcionalnih ekonomije trčao po ego-driven ulizica. Trošak aggrandized ego je otuđen duša. Kad smo se otuđili od prirode lomimo vitalnu ciklus između prirode i ljudske duše. Mi zaboravljamo kako se odnositi prema našoj Velike Majke. Njezin "face" izgubi u kaljuža ljudskih središtu riječi i pretjerano muževne pokušaja proboja i kontroliranje ju. Čak su i žene iz naše kulture su svedene na pretjerano muževne umotvorinama. Bili su prisiljeni na zaboravljajući lice Majke u njima. Hiperstvarno (Baudrillard), hiper-muška, hiper-apstrakcija modernog kulture div neodrživo zid dima i ogledala da većina ljudi ne može vidjeti kroz. Mi smo zaslijepljeni zubaca i zupčanika u sustav nas prisiljava da vjeruje da je naša jedina vrijedna je rob daleko na posao koji ne znači ništa drugo nego da služi društvu; što je u redu ako je to društvo je zdravo, održiva i priroda-based, ali užasno ako se to društvo se temelji na eksploataciji, nasilje i silovanje kao naša je. U kulturi u kojoj je izrezan vitalna poveznica između čovjeka i prirode i prirodnog svijeta, smo svakodnevno suočeni s lutke zamaskirao kao osobe, i slijep mjesečar plutocrats s wads novca za mozgove i posvojnih šakama za srce. Ali ovdje je stvar: to nije njihova krivnja. To nije naša krivica. Mi smo odrasli u društvu koje je pakao savijen na uništavanje svijeta i to prikazuju kao proizvodnje. To nije naša krivica smo bili uvjetovani da se cogs u death-stroj prerušeni u plemenite građanstvo. To nije naša krivnja što su podigli odsječeni od naše Velike Majke i, time, odsječeni od naših duša. To nije naša krivica naša psiha, naša potreba za povezivanje, potisnuta i punjena dolje u najudaljenijih naše nesvjesne, gdje se raspada i nas truje da nema kraja. Čovječanstvo je započeo s nesvjesnom stanju (Id) povezani s prirodom i zajednice. Razvoj svijesti (Ego) tijekom posljednjih milijun godina ili tako nam je dao veliku moć, ali isto tako nam je dao ogroman teret, onaj koji smo do sada bili u stanju podnijeti. A uz nastavak razvoja naše svijesti, naša potreba za većom odgovornosti raste. Problem je u tome što nismo do sada bio odgovoran s naše snage. Moramo se staviti pod kontrolom. No, stavljajući Ego u provjeru traje herojski čin odgovornosti. To je karanje sorti, a metanoja, tope psihičkih energija, tako da je novi, zdravije, prilagodljiviji energija može se pojaviti. Kao i Jung izjavio, "Ono što je potrebno je da se obustaviti do smrtonosnog razdruživanju koji postoji između Mans 'višeg i nižeg bića; umjesto toga, Moramo se ujediniti svjesno čovjeka s primitivnim čovjekom. Ono što je potrebno je da budemo odgovorni u našoj moći. Mi smo to učinili tako što naš ego pod kontrolom, uravnoteženjem naše više i niže snage kako bi postali zdravi, individuirana, holistički svjesni bića. Što je potrebno je velika simbolična gesta koja predstavlja ovaj balansiranje akt. I tu je možda više nema hrabro brišući gestu od one računajući udar. Koncept računajući udar je Indijanci čin hrabrosti koji se odnosi na osvajanje prestiža u borbi. Osoba osvaja prestiž strane neobičnih djela hrabrosti u lice neprijatelja. Opasnost i rizik je potrebno računati državni udar, a to se može snimiti dodirivanjem neprijatelja u borbi, a zatim pobjegao neozlijeđen. Što se tiče računajući udar na naš ego je u pitanju, to je psihološki gambit, , gdje držimo naše metaforički "puča palicu" warningly preko naše razmažene, inertan, narcisoidan, aggrandized ego i držati tabulatori na svom nerazmjeran snage. Računajući udar na naš ego pretvara tablice na duši-Ego borbi za vlast. Održavanjem naše ego pod kontrolom smo omogućiti soul-u središtu energije rađati. Kroz svjesni, disciplinirane djela računajući udar, sjedinimo našu unutarnju svjesnu čovjeka s našim unutarnjim primitivnog čovjeka, čime ujedinjuje prirodu i psiha, kozmos i savjest, 'Mi' i 'mi,'I donosi ravnotežu natrag između duše i ega, i ravnotežu natrag u ljudskom stanju, a njegovo mjesto u većoj stanju Zemlje.
