That was an AAAAAAAAWESome read and I'm only 3/4ths done. But so I don't forget, it's truly amazing what the mind can do. To me, IMO, schizophrenia, especially the visuals, manifest themselves visually, so the creator of them must address them, when the Id and the Superego are so incompatible they must make themselves apparent. I firmly believe that these aren't spirits, per se, except the superego, or "higher order" you could contribute to one's higher self, which does have the ability to see through time and walls.
I've dealt with negative voices. Everyone does. = self-judgment. Still do, but I see a correlation between myself and what these people are experiencing when it comes to dealing with these "lower-order" voices. They are the suppressed, natural instincts that are basically stomped on by, as opposed to integrated with, the superego. For instance:
Today I was feeling down, had a rough day yesterday at work, the stress carried on with me till today. had a lot of feelings come up with being alone on holidays where companionship is valued, and i was depressed. took a little nap, and i thought, ok you know what, i have some money, i'm going to treat myself to some, say, upper-class sushi. it's a little more expensive for the same amount of food i could get elsewhere, but it's so much better tasting, the environment, is so much better where I want to go. I did go there, and I left and went to work in SOO much a better state of mind that I was positively affecting the customers and my co-workers. the point is, my body was saying, am I worth it? I want to feel worth something. And, where the cautionary, money-ruled mind would say, no it's not worth it to spend 5 more dollars on the same amount of food getting sushi elsewhere + tip.. I said, I don't care, this money will come back to me, I will follow my bliss. And right when I got there, my feelings shot through the roof.
My point is, your superego has ideals, and with this story, I relate Ideals to budget. You might want something later, rather than making sure you're good right now! Which is what the Id wants. The woman who's unseen lover she had to console wasn't Jesus Christ was her dealing with this desire for a fantastically, morally triumphant man that could save her from her repressed natural instincts, or twisted Id, that has to go so far as to bridge the part of the brain that defines her reality, her 5 senses, with her unconscious. I mean, we here are trying to grasp the connection between mind and the physical universe. And we've all heard of quantum physics, and the saying "mind over matter." We've been told the flesh is an illusion for the soul. These hallucinations are not an other-soul, but a part of YOUR soul.The unconscious remembers everything, as if it doesn't deal with a veil, and deals very well with symbols, which I believe someone had a proficiency with in the story..
His name is Tyler Durden.
This whole thing has to do with the conditioning we have received growing up in a fear-based civilization, inflating the superego and tying the Id in with a battle of "sin" and money vs. natural instinct and desire.
I know, because after I read the Ra texts, I could have gone down this road, if I didn't decide to work my belief systems into giving up fear as-a-whole!
Fascinating read. Thank you for this.
