Do Do Not Fear Those Who Kill The Body But Cannot Kill The Soul.

Do do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body.

Gospel of Matthew

BRO ARE U DELETING YOUR POST? WHATT THE FUCK

I am not deleting posts. For some reason, the links on my master-post are not working anymore. I have messaged tumblr and they've replied it is a bug and now it's their turn to fix it, let's see what happens next.

In his early period, Lacan worked within the opposition of empty and full speech.

Empty speech is speech situated among the imaginary axis.

For Lacan, subjectivity is founded upon identification with a false image of unity.

The subject perpetuates this imaginary self by choosing relationships which confer upon him or herself the sense of sameness, relations which are in effect 'narcissistic embraces.'

This is because it is far easier to construct oneself on the basis of another, incorporating his or her tastes or desires, rather than confront the lack that resides in each of us.

And because the subject has constructed him or herself on the basis of another, he or she is unable to enjoin in the assumption of desire.

In other words, in constructing our desires on the basis of another we reinforce our alienation from desire.

As Lacan says: 'For in the work he does to reconstruct it for another, he encounters anew the fundamental alienation that made him construct it like another, and that has always destined it to be taken from him by another.'

This is the meaning of Lacan's enigmatic phrase, 'Man's desire is the desire of the Other,' we desire what the Other desires.

Speech is empty therefore to the extent that it is ironically filled by the Other.

As Lee puts it: 'From the subject's own perspective, then, his speech has been in an important sense "empty": it has been emptied of the subject by being filled with his alienating moi [ego] identity.'

In a clinical setting, a subject whose speech is empty will tend to objectify himself in the following ways:

'I think that I'm the kid of person .. ' or alternatively, 'My teacher thinks that I'm ...'

The art of analysis is to break the analysand's imaginary identifications, 'suspending the subject's certainties until their final mirages have been consumed.'

It is not difficult to see how empty speech corresponds to the objective standpoint.

The objective standpoint seeks to ground itself in sure and certain foundation; it relies on a universally accepted standard of rationality, so that given the same premise we can all arrive at the same conclusion, thereby conferring a collective self-same identity and propagating the illusion of the whole.

As Kierkegaard says: 'The objective way is of the opinion that it has the security that the subjective way does not have' because our thoughts are buttressed by a collective Other.

Inheritance

By Carl Jung

People do not realize just how much they are putting at risk when they do not accept what life presents them with, the questions and tasks that life sets them.

When they resolve to spare themselves the pain and suffering they owe to their nature.

In so doing they refuse to pay life's dues and for this very reason life often leads them astray.

If I have to suffer then let it be from my reality. A neurosis is a much greater curse.

One cannot do more than what one really is.

Suffering was inevitable in any case. But I want to suffer for those things which really belong to me.

A decisive factor for me in choosing this path was the knowledge that if I did not respond fully to my life's purpose and challenges then they would be inherited by my children who would have to bear the burden of my unlived life in addition to their own difficulties.

I am aware of what a heavy burden was passed onto me by my parents.

Such a burden cannot simply be shaken off. You find yourself weighed down with an inheritance that you have to accept and carry around like a snail carrying its house on its back.

What aesthetic do you like

Like so, but I don't do these aesthetics in daily life

Not as in work or maintaining formal relationships like have social media or group of friends like i read how humans are social creature and cant survive on their own ?

Socializing:

If you don't like being social, then there would be reasons to explore. Do you feel like you're not yourself when you're with others? Or maybe you feel like you want to know who you are before you socialize? Or maybe socializing makes you feel a lot of emotions and confusions? Or maybe socializing is too stimulating and fast paced for you?

Maybe you can take a man out of society but cannot take out society out of him. Society is very much absorbed by us, like we are sponges and absorb the social norms, language, culture, habits, practices. It makes life predictable.

Maybe without socializing you cannot self introspect because others are like a mirror to you and your reflection in them  helps you understand yourself.

Maybe sometimes you'll like socializing and other times hate it. Dr. Carl G Jung once said that "there is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum." Prof Yuval N Harari said that we live in a shared imagination. Humans are the only ones who live a double life, an objective and a subjective life. A shared imagination. And this imagination is shared by many people. That's how we understand language and ideas. If I say "marriage", you can understand what it means because you and I share the social meaning, idea and imagination of marriage.

I cannot answer your question because I don't know the answer. Whatever someone says won't make sense unless the answer comes from inside.

I have similar questions as yours: Why do I want to talk to someone else? Who is it that I'm talking to? Why do I have the urge to tell someone my thoughts? What will I feel after I speak? What kind of reactions do I want from someone? What if that someone reacts differently opposite to my expectations? Etc.

Survival:

I think we cannot survive on our own. It started the moment we were born, someone else was taking care of us. Physical needs are dependent on others.

Think, think, think...
