the psychic wind that blows within us has a distinctly dark and seductive side

Reality appears to me as a disguised symbolic life in a socially and politically staged drama that is the result of the interrupted inner contact we have to its origin in the relationship between us and ourselves, and which we live out in our surroundings. Like a wind, a dark psychic wind whose flow of an ignored mental content are the unknown patterns of energy that surround parts of this background that shape our experiences when we confuse them with people in our lives, suppressing their true origin from the conscious mind and the underlying intention that they collectively give rise to. We perceive it as a worry-creating and anxiety-filled destructive force from a distorted father figure. Not as a positive cultural influence in its expression of the individual relationship we have of belonging to it in a coherent and shared experience of its expression of an inner psychic source as in the traditional Sami father figure Máttaráhttje. Instead, it appears in a distorted state within us. In a fear of how it is expressed and articulated by others regardless of what our own conditioned, culturally dominant and idealized version of it looks like that we carry within us. I think he is the most perverted and misunderstood inner figure at our personal level in the psyche. I say it is dark not only because it is a constant undercurrent to consciousness. But also because, without our attention and observing presence of it, it has a dark side that also contains authoritarian, impulsive and destructive elements. He is so repressed that we don’t even notice how we constantly dictate, advocate and explain instead of relating in a human and personal way to each other. On his interpersonal level, when we identify with him, we lose touch with the fundamental conditions of our own and others’ person, and the reality that determines our conditions from person to person. That’s also why political correctness can be such a destructive means of dealing with it. But if we pay attention to this psychic wind, we discover that it contains both personal and interpersonal information, because it points us to the distant source within us that permeates everything, and has its origin on the other side of the boundary that consciousness sets for our senses. It also describes in its own way the influence it has on our social and cultural environment when people in it fall outside their personality’s psychic boundaries and encroach on someone else’s connection to this source of energy and threaten its independent function as the self-organizing pattern of our life experiences it is, with the creative wisdom it possesses that unites all the opposites within us. Therefore, it can also start as a light gust of wind, a breeze that when an unsuspecting environment is caught by it and themselves replenish its power also quickly becomes a storm from which there is no protection.
