the [strike that] MY Psyche

If I attempt to define "PSYCHE" I am at a loss.
I think of this.



Is it me?

It's an image, not a thing, but it's a word, not an image.

You know what I mean?







You know what I mean?

You know what I mean?





I know what I mean. I know what you mean. I know what to mean means to you. (and to me)





You know what I mean?































nothing

The finger pointing at the moon is not the moon.

Words are but a representation of our abstract thoughts at understanding reality.

No one trusts words.

We only talk to distract from other peoples words.


in bad taste we opine & mingle with words identical to our own which are not [though the typo says mot, french for word, I say not mot, not you overconfident weasel] our own at all but simple truth so we sigh to those that dont say the same, but a slightly different thing...
in good taste we seek out the words most remote from our own
to insulate from the power of words...
then, we learn to speak

speak Being

beyond speaking of being



all until then are incarnate

Designer-pain


in the beginning was the word
the word turned to flesh

easier said!
than fleshed out.

Neat response Pallas.

Sad that words include so many lies.

Emotions


thought l feeling
memory l foresight l pain l pleasure

Emotions: Some Buddhists tell us we should eliminate our emotions.

I don't accept that concept. I think that emotions are a very important part of our natural life.

And I feel it is important that we understand our emotions as well as we possibly can. Most have their roots in our subconscious mind. Understanding the roots (triggers) will help us to avoid conditions that arouse negative emotions and seek out conditions that arouse positive emotions.

The truth is an ancient man.
The truth is a boy,

The truth is a little kid,

The truth is a mouse, running

The truth is a cosmos.

The truth is this cup of tea
being far beyond truth

being well poured in fact!

We must tell our world what we want to feel.



It will tell us what we need to feel.

Ah, yes, anger management. Some of us don't do very well at that.

We have to dig deeper than that - deeper than the triggers unless that's what you meant by understanding them.

What are their origins? Whether they go far back to our individual beginnings or were just born yesterday.

Some call it the Self - some call it the soul.
It's all of you included.

Agree. Are they there from personal experience or are they things we were taught that we never questioned?

There are a lot of things happening because of the info that is in our subconscious mind. We should try to understand what's going on in our brain.

Think of your soul as a diamond, and every waking moment a spark of light tracing one of the ridges between two facets, or dwelling at a crossroads.

How many roads, and how many one chooses to travel - this is depending on the soul and the personality respectively.

Do you have the courage to your own soul?
That not only depends on the type of person you are, but also on what the consequences can be, if you do.

"We rarely have the courage for what we truly know" said Nietzsche.
But there comes a time when the rare will determine the fate of all mankind.

I hold to both the concept of soul and of spirit.

However, for me, the soul is our subconscious mind and our spirit is our Chi energy.

When our body dies our soul dies as well. However, our spirit returns to the total energy of the universe.

The soul is from where our spontaneous inspirations arise.

Yes, a good question: Do we have the courage to follow our soul's desires?

Yoga is actually largely about anger.

"Things got really ugly and my energy went berzerko (AKA batshit crazy). It’s a space I don’t usually allow myself to enter into, but my energy was so out of whack that I succumbed to the dark side."

What you do in Kryia Yoga is fast burning of karma. So it is that they see it, I mean. It is a very aggressive style of dealing with Earths imperfections.

Yes, anger management is important. Too few are good at that.
