The Lost Magic
Most people don’t have thoughts. Most people’s thoughts have them. Your mind is built for meaning but hijacked for survival. Like a spell cast upon the collective. Like a virus in the software.
The narrative has become a hypnotic trance that has most living out a nightmare loop of suffering. What has your emotional home been over the past couple months?
….But life that doesn’t grow dies. Something being hard and dangerous just validates it’s virtue. Being born isn’t living. It is only the invitation. It’s only when you choose to move past the spell of survival based narrative that you truly live.

There is an archetypical wound, a wound in the archetype’s heart, the archetypal infirmitas as Hillman calls it, a wound inside the body of God and Gods/archetypes/healers. It’s our job to recognize it. This is the wound that laughs, because it coincides with the “opening.
