Wed your Anima by creating a 'vessel' for Her (Psychological Masculinity)

Right well unfortunately it's not that's

easy and you have to engage yourself

completely to do this hmm

firstly you you would need as an adult

man to build a container based on your

understanding of your masculinity it is

though quite possible to develop your

anima when you're much younger than that

much what younger all depends on your

level of consciousness and your incident

we discussed this in previous videos but

assuming that our friend here is an

adult I'm sure he is and then first of

all he has to develop his sense of

masculinity so because you have to

prepare a vessel on the inside

psychologically to receive the anima

both on the outside the outer world and

internally obviously in the inner world

if you lack that then you're relating

function won't work at all because

there's so many confounding factors

involved in this is your sense of

identity your place to stand with

respect to your ego or iGo consciousness

all of these things need to be in place

and the building process involves

obviously a confrontation with the

unconscious but also a confrontation

with your adaptations or maladaptation

z' to the times of in which you live so

that process then is a question of

balancing your energy of respect to the

inner world and the outer world and

again this is why a biopsychosocial

model as a framework is really really

effective because you can measure where

you stand in relationship to those

different dimensions connection to your

emotions is vitally important as well

initially just a capacity to feel them

because there are so many people who

cons they have an idea what emotion is

and what feelings are during a mind of

course that Jung's definition of feeling

was based on the German language rather

than the English am there is a

distinction then between emotion and

feeling in the way the he menses but I'm

trying to suggest that you use both

because an evaluative nature even if you

are a feeling type when that is

connected to feeling is very very

important because otherwise you may

simply develop an idea a fourth about

what feeling is what feelings home

values are and then it becomes an

abstraction when you can feel this on

the inside you will have what is known

in depth psychology as an effect bridge

an emotional bridge which can lead you

into for example past ego States estado

states are way stations in your life

where your level of consciousness has

been at a particular level and also your

connections who your feelings has been

at a particular level as well now if you

can access these past ago states through

an effect bridge you can begin to build

for example your personal myth in the

particular way that you may not

otherwise if you're only approaching the

task as if it were an abstract idea or a

function such as a task if you like such

as writing something down and not really

relating to anything so building a

connection to your emotions is very very

important a number of ways of doing that

being creative in the widest sense using

imagery but also physical activity can

be very important in the sense of

stimulating through movements part of

the deeper structures of your brain

which will activate the limbic system in

an appropriate way and lots of lots of

different things but that intend to

build it has to be in place first you

have to make that conscious decision

because you're signaling to yourself and

also to your unconscious it is my

intention to do this I want to have that

internal relationship with the psyche

through the anima the rating function

working properly on the inside a part of

that process will be collecting two

instincts deep deep structure instincts

and the narratives the intentionality

the teleology that is embedded within

instincts also through relating to the

outside world once you start to match

those two so they're inside

then then you'll find things start to

happen that are very very different

changes will happen in your psyche their

leave will happen in your body as well

in terms of your awareness of your body

in terms of how you deal with stress how

resilient you might be to illness all

sorts of things will change in the

Earth's correlation to this outside of

the West is in Tantrism for those people

who know anything about that and there

are different tantric methods but the

kinetic temperatures the ones that

involve movements as well as just

abstract meditations or highly

transformative and they are very much

concerned with building a receptive

vessel and I would say that the process

is pretty much the same it's isomorphic

it's one for one a correlation albeit

that the emphasis might be slightly

different depending upon the culture

that you use to make that approach but

there is a process recently I've been

been encouraging lads on the disk or the

BIOS under this code to work on the

notion of the Platonic form and the

reason for that is to begin to move them

away from the more basic idea in an

abstract sense of what the anima is on

the one hand and on the other hand being

victim to it because of unconsciousness

that's not their fault because we all

start out that way and it takes a lot of

work to overcome the inertia of the egos

position and anytime in life adaptation

involves overcoming inertia the inertia

of unconsciousness in our past and

unconsciousness of our relating function

and of our feeling tone relationships

internally and externally it's a thing

you have to overcome as well as the

turning something into an idea so you

need to overcome those two the Platonic

form is something which you can access

in an internal dialectical sense but

it's not just an abstract idea you have

to feel it

so immediately you're going to make a

connection and between your emotions and

your ideas in the way perhaps you

haven't done before because the idea of

it the fear

if you like not reducing it's one idea

but but the theory of it involves

contacting it's in a way which you

experience it then it's going to move

you on from it just being an abstraction

or just being the projection of an

instant as in a reproductive drive as in

being attracted to a particular woman or

whatever it will move you away from that

so that that's the necessary next step

for where most people for example in the

visco dar is to work internally on the

Platonic form and then connect

themselves up simultaneously to their

emotions in a way that they don't simply

make an idea out of what emotions and

feelings are but experience them

directly if you signal willingness to do

this to your unconscious you will get

immediate cooperation in the same way

that I've suggested when you use Shiv

Rose pendulum you need to be respectful

towards the psyche and it will then

reciprocate but there's another thing

you must do as well and this is

important

you must not project the eggo back into

the unconscious and see just a kind of

distorting fir ground mirror

representation of the a go and mistake

that for the territory of the

unconscious because what you'll do is to

see a reflection of your conditioning of

your limitations and of those complexes

that are in association to the a go

whether they be identified with by the I

go or merely be in alignment to them you

won't be seeing anything other than that

you won't even see your shadow you'll

just see this imperfect distorted mirror

of yourself so you have to be capable of

setting all of us aside the best way to

do this is to approach the psyche with

respect and open yourself up to its

communications and utilize as I say the

effect or emotional bridge to go deep

within yourself then you'll find that

things start to align themselves up

ready to be received in a form that you

can integrate with so it's an active

process

so it's not a simple thing and I'm sorry

if that's too too much of a fairy late

man sir it's not intended to be because

there's a lot of practical advice in

that but each elements of that will need

further exploitation and this is

probably saying that we can do James I

would suggest on the discord with the

members sir you try and give a similar

stick step by step it's one size fits

all and it isn't it's experiential so

people do have to experience this it's

transformative wellness is experienced

directly when it's an abstract idea all

that does is create another idea that's

the problem we're thinking unfortunately

as a Jungian cognitive function it tends

to generate polarities that cancel one

another out or when they do blend they

just produce in a Hegelian sense yet

another starting point to generate

another polarity and then a synthesis

and then on and on and you lose the

dynamism of the energy because it's lost

when the polarities are closed and the

idea of polarities is illusionary

they're only there because the limits of

perception and if your perception is

judged if you like in the judging

thinking sense in that way that's all

you're going to see you have to

experience something and one of the

drawbacks of Western depth psychology is

that it is completely cut off in most

respects from integration dynamically

with action in the world in other words

it's too passive isn't it yes yeah yeah

it is too passive I'm thinking that

we've said about the positive anima

borrowing essentially your inferior

function so that when you do experience

yes you are you often expense for

thinking types anyway yeah

experience it in a very very

overwhelming kind of way yes rather than

that being it does it just feel

overpowering and you yeah absolutely

right thank you for introducing that

that reminder on that point because it

essentially and I'm talking about Clara

sees now by and I've just contradicted

myself apparently there are always

contradictions when you're trying to

explain things which are really a

dynamical process but yes there is a

policy in the sense you can say there is

a positive and a negative anima there's

another polarity if you want to impose

this as well which suggests and it is is

empirically a fact that the negative

anima will occupy your dominant function

within echo consciousness whatever that

is it's also a fact that the positive

anima in terms of its potential is

always experienced first through your

inferior function by which I mean that

which is most remote from consciousness

it does not have a type though it just

comes into consciousness through that

time bearing in mind it's a relating

factor or a relating function when it

relates to consciousness it approaches

it if you like metaphorically from a

distance and then if you think of it

like an electron shell metaphor then the

higher levels which are a further away

from the nucleus of the atom

occupied by these electrons are like

your inferior function tertiary function

and so on as you get closer and closer

so incoming information in the form of

the positive anima from the unconscious

will reach that level of the inferior

function first and will then therefore

take on its form but you're only

experiencing that class of it that can

be filtered through that ultimately the

anima positive and negative as one

entire thing has no function but it can

utilize any of them but in order to

communicate itself the consciousness in

a way that's productive in any sense at

all it will appear through the so called

inferior function first and the negative

function no of the negative parts of the

animal occupies at least part of the

negative part of the anima occupies your

most adapted function and consciousness

and the reason we can say this

empirically is that when we mess up our

relationships to other people externally

and to ourselves internally it's because

the relating function is malfunctioning

and it's malfunctioning because the

negative anima is

operating their not its totality but

just past a bit there so this is where

we have to be careful about ideas and

guessing too wrapped up in the

abstraction of them and focusing on

empiricism on demonstrable facts which

you can observe in yourself and in

others so that's an important factor

isn't it yeah so would you say then sees

that if these guys are trying to access

emotion or create an offender Bridget

they shouldn't be surprised that maybe

at first it's it's going to be quite an

overwhelming yes yes it can be and it

depends how you access that you know you

can access this in an almost religious

sense or perhaps yes a religiously valid

sense of a numinous experience and the

overwhelming emotion it can come from

that you can do it through creativity

you can do it through relationships on

the outside obviously you can do it

internally with respect to a

relationship to an autonomous factor

within your psyche that approaches

consciousness and releases emotion but

if you don't provide the signal that

you're willing to accept this then it's

going to take you by surprise instead

and in effect you're going to be

ambushed my nice things

it's and you might be ambushed in the

form of and your own sis if you're lucky

or if you're unlucky by something more

severe even than that depending on what

the damming up effect has been with

respect to associating yourself from

your emotions you're feeling some values

on your unconscious in general so in a

way we kind of create the vessel if you

like by what we've done in the past and

why by what we're doing now to get ahead

of that then you need to be

forward-thinking and say from this

moment this time this space I intend to

create and circumstances if you like

they're are conducive to open and free

communication with the unconscious and

that declaration of being willing and

open it's important but then you have to

follow it with action and this is why we

always wear me to be trained

people we always start gnosis because

it's the quickest the fastest and most

honest and unpolluted way of contacting

the unconscious that when you do that

and you build up trust from the

unconscious towards you because it has

to trust you as well as you trust them

that you approach it with respects and

then it will learn to respect you

because remember it's been monitoring

you the whole of your life and it's

gotten used to you being a certain way

and so because it's a system and systems

have to continue to operate if not

optimally then at a level which at least

allows it to function it will get used

to maladaptation in the ego the ego and

then adjust accordingly so the whole

system is now so balanced including the

unconscious now if you change it will

have to change in compensation for

answer but if you change unconsciously

so to speak of the fact that that

connection is there you don't know what

disturbances you're creating in the

system as a whole that may further

disturb you you need to signal to that

part of the system the overall system

that your intention is to receive

positively the God and proper direction

of life for you to unfold and become

individuated and you're going to build

the receiver for that psychologically

and then in the outer world through your

action and through your behavior then

you'll get the best possible cooperation

from within but don't pressure it don't

push

like the a guru does in the outer world

making demands that kind of thing don't

do that because from the unconsciousness

perspective you've adopted then an

infantile

ego stays a regressive one that of a

child and you'll be treated like one by

the unconscious so don't go abstract and

one-sided and too heavily relying on our

little thinking treated with respects

signal your intentions to receive the

message signal to your intentions to act

out in the world productively because

the unconscious wants this because the

unconscious itself is embedded in your

genome yeah so your instincts want it

exactly yeah exactly

and if frankly if you did some of the

eastern methods that are involved with

say kinetic Tantrism

which

heavily involves the use of the body

some of the imagery methods used are the

most powerful I have ever experienced

bar none and you would then understand

just how powerful instincts are and how

instincts themselves have as I say

intentionality they have teleology they

intend to be completed they encompass

entire situations and because they're

teleological they are anticipating

you're through line life you have not

yet lived they have a narrative which is

basically mythic structure and in order

to communicate to you they will then

produce images which we interpret as

being archetypal and they are then

mirrored within the culture as well so

again it's a systems model and there is

representation of the same information

or all these of these different levels

the job of the ego ya go is to balance

this and to relate properly to the

environment to the culture and

historical time periods within which you

live and we hope flourish but also to

your ancestral psyche and to your

instincts if you get those in proper

alignment everything will start to work

smoothly for you and if you don't the

result will be obvious but perhaps not

to you only to the people around you as

they see you start to break down become

neurotic you'll find that when somebody

begins to lose it in the sense of their

regulation their self-regulation their

psychological homeostasis they're

usually the last person to say it

because echo consciousness begins to

contract upon itself that means it's far

less awareness of the outer world and of

the inner world other people will say it

but so will your unconscious as well so

learn how to create that safe vessel as

kinetic tantric process in this world

then you can bring in the information

it's necessary from the level of user

you know or through the expressive

drives of you genome which of the

instincts or through the product of the

instincts and the genomes which are your

archetypes and then out into your

psychology and an out into culture

that's one directional but of course

it's bi-directional in a sense that the

cultures are also affecting you and your

to find as you change you on the outside

then changes will start internally to

match mirror or adjust for them all of

this happens simultaneously at different

directions sorry in different dimensions

so it's complicated but if you're not

actively engaged in that process you

will be the victim of it and if you are

maladjusted to that then you'll be the

victim of your own maladjustments by

neglect of yourself and by neglect of

your instincts your instincts provide

all the power that you need for the

transformation but if they come through

unbuffered unfiltered in the raw of they

can be very very very very dangerous now

they can blow the cork of the agar right

out of its container as in Deccan

archetypes which are just the messenger

molecules if you like at a biological

level for the instincts and for the

power that it represents it's true

coming your way

because culture as well contains and

expresses and delivers archetypes in the

form of images collective

representations as Jung called them

following emile durkheim

and claude leve Brule and that

information can come into the ego that

way into our consciousness and then it

can go down into the unconscious and

then down into the genome at a level of

genetic expression so information is

exchanging and swapping between all

these different levels all the time in

the middle of this you have the

executive function of consciousness

that's you the you that you experience

in everyday life that has to have proper

boundaries there has to have a

psychological immune system to protects

itself from the suggestion of the

culture where that might be maladaptive

from the influence of some of these

Manor personalities out there of

governments of classical ideas of

anything like that even if families were

they may be malignant in terms of your

health or of other people any any of a

person but also you need to be open

enough to test and see whether these

influences are safe or not so a properly

functioning psychological immune system

is important when facing the outer world

it's also true on the inside because

there's all sorts of material in there

that we've accrued through our lifespan

develop

individually and deeper the mass is what

we've inherited to in terms of negative

potentials and an instinctive level

archetypal level if he wants to call him

out and then there's the natural

dynamics of the unconscious to produce

and turn this material over and it will

come at you you need to be protected

from that - but it is the intended job

of consciousness in an evolutionary

sense to be able to sit on the crossover

point between inner and outer and manage

and balance those energies so very very

important that you create that vessel

and that vessel is your ego

consciousness it is you you have to have

that crafted sufficiently otherwise the

forces that you encounter on the inside

could blow you away just as easily as

forces on the outside can be

overwhelming - so I appreciate that's

not an exact how to do it but it's an

indication of how big the task is and

the fact that you need to have that

intentionality in yourself to engage

with the process
