In our outer urban psychic layer and the character we have created for ourselves there, I think we confuse anxiety with the force of life because its potency often questions the role and attitude we have fixed for ourselves in this psychic layer. If we lose connection to that force, we die in a psychic sense. In the experience of anxiety there is the spark but not yet the courage to follow its path. It is in our life force that we are led to our nature. Instead of just living horizontally, or sideways, not vertically as well. We may find our inner tree there, the axis that is the connection between the outer reflection of our inner psychic events. Older people called that power henki in Finnish. When we can truly express ourselves authentically we have sisu, a genuine potency and self-preservation. Something that is also abused in the sense of one-sidedness, and an overly exaggerated relationship with our urban character. We have no psychic counterpart to our inner companion. In that sense, it usually means that we have lost that relationship, its essence, the contact with our inner self, and our nature, or luonto. It is then said that the absence causes problems such as addiction. We obstinately fixate on a single thing to resolve our inner disunion. But the way we can regain it if we lose it is to wait patiently for its return. It has another relationship to the within in the without. Anxiety can also be our inner way of getting used to embody the powers of our being. Learn about its influence on us. As when we become accustomed to the power of being in love, we can allow ourselves to witness it and confirm it in closeness to others as well, and later its relationship to our common psychic beingness. To be able to safely see beyond our own vulnerabilities and our defenses against these forces. Instead of having the sense of being pushed out of ourselves by the fears of the power that we see of ourselves in others that they may not want to face on their own.
