(1875-1961)
Behind the writing, memoir and biography, The Secret Garden Chronicles, Poem Story to Tell, For Four Seasons, Theory of
Everything, is a therapeutic benefit for inner and outer self-care during my
connection with the Meta-universe of social networks and nature. This action of
personal and emotional development through creation is a form of rebellion or
resilience after many traumas towards the hope of a future: a life of
fulfillment and happiness. Traumas occur after several failed attempts to enter
the world of work. Also, after the mourning of my mother and sister. As well as
after an act of misunderstood domestic violence and external and virtual
harassment during my online observation on social networks and in the street.
In addition, after a spiritual pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca with my
mother, who was ill and for whom I was responsible. And finally after the pandemic and the
economic crisis in the country and the change of government and new world
order.
Initially, creativity came instinctively
from an inner need, driven unconsciously by the frustration of not being able
to fulfill myself in this dense network, and consciously by my intellect and
knowledge, playing with new technologies and social media. To realize, develop and
renew myself through learning. Following the path of Jung's therapeutic
practice, I had to admit my limits, take responsibility for my behavior and
forgive my failures (according to Jung, there is no such thing as failure, only
experience), relying on the past without passing judgment. In a gesture of protection and vulnerability, I took refuge in my virtual world of celebrity, animal protection and sports communities. I practiced long-distance walking (marathon, hiking), running, yoga, aerobics, Zumba, Salsa dance. As well as self-help, philanthropy and writing, social media, listening to music and creating via technological applications and AI (Photo and selfie). As a defense against external aggression, I deported myself into the past through my memory, recorded and waiting to be opened like Pandora's Box. My aim was to understand certain details of my life that had escaped me in a phase of conscientization (global understanding of my meta-connection between self self inner and outer self (Community, family, animals and nature) (the word is coming from Spanish conscientizatición. It means developing strengthening and changing consciousness, created in the field of education especially in adult education in 1960, producing a new conception of consciousness). And why I let my life pass me by without realizing it or taking a step forward. As Boris Cyrulnik says “memory
is not a store of memories”. It is the representation of what we have done with
the past. Behind this return to the past, there is an intentionality to search
our memory for images and words to give coherent form to our idea of the past.
There are bound to be changes and evolutions in our memory. "It all depends on how we look at things. Regardless of how objective
something may seem, others will always interpret it in their own way, and may
draw different conclusions about the same reality." Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Notwithstanding the Asian
philosophy of Taoism, which tells us to act and focus on the future. Our
flashback blocks and can produce negative energies. "The
first part of a man's life should be devoted to earth, the second to heaven."
"For our leaves to reach heaven, our
roots must go down to hell." So Carl Jung admits that this phase is
vital to creation. Tchouang-Tseu corroborates his
statement that "joy must be
cultivated. It stimulates vital energy. Prolonged sadness blocks the
circulation of vital energy”. Prolonged sadness is negative for our
well-being, and should therefore be avoided. All psychologists try to avoid
it. Among them Boris Cyrulnik / Antoine Spire - Le Monde de education - May
2001 "If suffering compels
creativity, that doesn't mean we have to be compelled to suffer in order to
become creative." While Carl
Jung reminds us that this is an important phase in creation. "You can only see clearly by looking inside
yourself. He who looks outward dreams. He who looks within awakens.” Carl
Jung. In addition, he announces that through his therapy he aims to probe this
state of mind to achieve creativity by experiencing one's own nature and
capacities for metamorphosis and becoming, which interests him. "The therapeutic effect I seek to achieve is
the creation, in the subject, of a state of soul in which he or she begins to
experience his or her own nature, to experiment with its elements, a state
finally made of fluidity, of aptitude for metamorphosis and becoming." And he explains that this nature has been
neglected to the detriment of great scientific discoveries and technologies,
hence the importance today of the human sciences and neuroscience research:
"Human beings have made great
discoveries and developed numerous skills, knowledge, technologies and forms of
expression. However, human nature is careless and often neglects essential
aspects, including itself".
Today's practice of inner and outer
awareness through observation, writing and creation aims to develop emotional
intelligence (EQ) and personal development by focusing our attention on the
present, without judgment, while moving through the past. According to
psychologist Carl Jung, personality growth begins with the unconscious: "By confronting the unconscious, the ego is
transformed. Sensations and feelings
help us to understand and discover the outside". world "Sensations and intuitions play an important
role in explaining the world. Using logic alone limits our point of view ".
"Sensation tells us that something
is. Thought tells us what that thing is. Feeling tells us what that thing is
for us." Carl Jung
And here is my story, entangled by
representations of memories and stories that intersect in counterpoint between
past, present and future mirroring the narrative, in general, in social
networks. After the loss of her parents and a long
period of mourning, in an emotionally confused head, a little girl lost her
stability. She stayed alone with her
birds and cat in her room, looking inside her memory to capture happy memories
with her parents behind her bedroom window. A voluntary solitude because she
hasn't found anyone to listen to her. "Loneliness
doesn't come because you don't have people around you, but because you can't
communicate the things that seem important to you." (Carl Jung)
She looked outside, into her dreams and
imaginary head, to discover nature, animals and people. She stopped to look for
a virtual friend behind her TV screen, phone and tablet. She remained silent
for a long time after being voluble and gossipy with unfamiliar people. In her
touching, innocent connection, she connected to this meta-universe and became
universal. She believed that her fictional world was real and that all people
were alike and had the same interests as her. She projected herself into them and
sponged her own emotions into their emotions in an empathy and gift she had
acquired since childhood thanks to her love of the media and lights. She built
her own stability, happiness, friends and imaginary boyfriends in the midst of
a circle of cursed poets (writers, singers, artists and journalists) whose
lives are dissolute and corrupt. This circle of activists and dreamers were
protesting against injustice and misery in their country. Behind them circulate the
ghosts of war, bankruptcy, unemployment, divorce, broken families, the
disabled, refugees, migrants, the shadows of the Dark Web and Anonymous, the
Gurus, the Illuminati, the Freemasons. Following Jung's theory, I had to know
"even virtually" the dark side of my own soul in order to prepare myself
and know how to behave when faced with the dark parts of other souls. Accepting
to socialize with those souls who are the opposite of oneself means accepting
the other dark side: "It's not by
looking at the light that you become luminous, but by plunging into its
darkness. But this work is often unpleasant, and therefore unpopular."
(Jung). According to the latter, being aware of
the totality of our nature helps us to understand similar things observed in
others, what is consciously expressed and unconsciously concealed. What
exasperates us in others is often what exists within us. Faced with their painful
lives, she lost her own life, the sense of time, alone in her room. She was
living their lives, helping them, supporting new talent and under the influence
of social networks. However, she was vulnerable and exposed to sympathy,
misunderstanding, judgment and harassment, sometimes mockery and insults. She
stored up a lot of suffering in her relationships of empathy and friendship.
Given her material and family situation, she could only help them through
gestures, cliques, sharing and small donations. She was among the active people
who loved animals, especially cats, the elderly and the sick (generous and kind
sharing), not an activist in the real world, but in the virtual world of
volunteer work. According to Jung's theory of collective consciousness and
unconsciousness, "Man must be
himself in order to be the better servant of all. »
In short, these people belonged to
communities of sleepwalkers and zombies. Most of the time, they are under
family pressure or burn-out (addicted to drugs, alcohol, hallucinations,
sleep-deprived delusions, medication, music, films, or addicted to games and/or
smart phones, etc.). They have lost their humanity, and are only interested in
making money. After many futile attempts to
find a real, faithful friendship. She looked for real friends among her
neighbors. It was difficult to go out because of the close surveillance of
monsters and villains (police, soldiers, samsaras, beggars, influencers, devil
worshipers and gurus, neighbors...). In resume, the easy, dirty
money in the hands of power in this meta-universe, who wanted to know his real
address and number so as to tilt him in their direction or take advantage of
his contacts (family included). These monsters, the world of corrupt shadows,
who wanted to include her in their evil world of thieves, liars and hypocrites,
politicians, journalists, artists and merchants or businessmen. She didn't
choose them, and this goes against her own beliefs and upbringing or
personality. She saw what she shouldn't and resisted their influence. She was
discovering and revealing secrets in a state of mediumship, of prediction in
this imaginary fiction and of disinformation behind artificial intelligence,
robotic agents. This halo effect created by leaderships and philanthropists
trying to influence public opinion. To make us incline towards their politics
of change and metamorphosis or philosophy. She couldn't understand why, they wanted
to lure her towards a vision of the world that wasn't her own. Because of her anger at the
misery she found in her solitude: the injustice of corrupt justice. The
country's system of accepting only those who work. The "so-called"
poor (impoverished by a well-studied appearance) or the "so-called"
rich who have to pay for their grades, their social and economic ascensions
through philanthropy. While others (stingy), accumulate money, houses and land,
and the state grabs it in one way or another via taxes through its commitment
to citizenship, ecology or social responsibility. A human comedy in the making,
a rich source of writing for a modern-day Balzac on social networks. The system
of impoverishing taxes, the so-called rich but not the real rich. The illness
of his parents over the years and later their deaths, the division of the
family. Family discord stems from misunderstanding and ignorance of the system
in the new world order. Lack of empathy and divergence of interests,
individualism, lack of solidarity. The hypocrites invited by the parents and
their association of politicians, narcissists, gossips and profiteers. The
family that uses my own social media and media connection for their social,
political and commercial advancement, for their wives and children. Without
taking into consideration their own emotions, their misfortunes, their desires
and without listening or understanding. Finally, his desire to fulfill himself
and fit into a hard-working, productive and creative society.
Also due to the illness of her two
brothers in relation to this prison (Web and commercial or political room.)
Their abusive relationship with an authoritarian and narcissistic father. His
attachment to his hometown, which is not theirs. His love for his farm, his land
and his uncontrollable credit, and that of his son, from his second family,
ambitious, malevolent and violent. His second family that has tried to ruin our
lives to this day. The "samsara" son, violent, violently beating his
half-sister in her own home. Her crime has been to defend herself against the
abuses that threaten his serenity and that of his sick brother and mother: his
lies, his corruptions, his malice and his ploy against his family to monopolize
the farm, the land and the money (which is owed to his own mother).
Camouflaging themselves behind this socialist party that claims to defend the
poor but isn't in reality. They create their own Eldorado behind stupid
philanthropists. Wealth is distributed but not equitably. Its masochism
personified, a case for psychologists to analyze. This domestic violence,
committed in front of her parents, her brother and her wife, happened without
anyone finding it abnormal. They danced, went to a party and didn't even call
or worry about his mental or physical state. In short, evil comes from family
and friends. Intolerance and judgment
stimulate anger, emotions and fears. Decision-making will then be obsolete and
someone will be sacrificed. The one who is sacrificed is the weakest, not the
strongest. As Boris Cyrulnik says in the Affectionate nutrition, "The family, this haven of security, is at
the same time the place of extreme violence." Security evaporates. The
family begins to divide into three camps: those who applaud, those who
sympathize and react, and those who stand by as spectators, neither for nor
against. When it comes to a sister or
brother whose act of prejudice is flagrant. Sisters and brothers unite in an
affective and supportive family. In the divided family, they try to cover the
strongest, not the weakest. When it comes to their children, it's a different
matter. A violent, malevolent half-brother becomes the protector and source of
money, appreciated by the family, through his malevolent generosity.
Fortunately, however, the most intelligent and empathetic members of the family
understand his pernicious ploy. Added to this is the attempt
at malevolence that comes from the misunderstood outside (the gossips and
political leaderships within the social networks). Those who seek to push us in
a direction far from our real lives (DSGT, their acolytes, the media, the
neighbors across the street who I know follow everything we say via social
networks and who observe our movements). You're going to call me paranoid with
the conspiracy theory. I'm not making it up, I've seen them and they were
connected via our phone number and maybe even via Wi-Fi. That's when she
realized that it's all coming from the Internet. All evil comes from shares,
likes and hashtags. Her life, her virtual secret garden, which she cultivated.
Through it, she tried to evolve her unconsciousness by dialoguing with her
conscious. Or confront her state of mind via socialization. Like Jung, she
spoke of looking into her shadow to tame it and change it. Unlike Freud, who
holds the sexual libido solely responsible for all our ills and the repression
of our desires in our unconscious. It's the collective, primitive unconscious
that has shaped us through civilization and genealogy. Enriching it through
imagination and daydreaming, activates and brings into dialogue the conscious
and unconscious. So we had to face up to this
collective and reconcile with ourselves through a virtual journey of self,
living together. Paradoxically, we individualize ourselves through citizenship
and global solidarity, without being formatted. By filling a gap, socializing
and combining dreams, music and art to create well-being. We become free She remained a little girl who dreamed
of finishing her studies and working elsewhere. Finding her own way, her own
ascension, her own place, but elsewhere. She felt like she was here and
elsewhere at the same time, traveling through the imaginary world. Like a
butterfly, she moved from one community to another. She played and danced in
her room alone, spending her time between the gym, sports, online games,
bookstores, exhibitions, museums, social networks, reading books and writing
diaries. She wrote stories both true and imaginary. She reveled in her
solitude, but she wasn't happy. She was looking for the meaning of happiness,
but couldn't find it because she felt so alone. Then she realized that social
relationships are not virtual. She was looking for real contact to give meaning
to her life. One day, she was looking out
of her window. It was a sunny day, the birds were singing, her cat was looking
out onto the street. A family was
setting up in front of her house. She spotted a boy with his ball looking in
her direction. He was a handsome boy, taller than her. She saw him playing
outside with his ball and his dog, riding his bike and jumping in the trees,
laughing in the garden with his mom and dad. She could see the meaning of
happiness through her window. Between sadness and hope, she wanted to be part
of this world, but couldn't because of the surveillance and her shyness. She
waited for him to make the first move. Until he did, and encouraged her to go
out and play with him. She touched life with her hands again, in a way she'd
never done before. She looked at the sky, the sun, the flowers, the plants, the
trees, the animals. She touched people's hands as she had never done before.
And her imaginary world of happiness became real. She brought home cats and
birds in captivity or malnourished on the street. She helped elderly people
cross the street, fed pigeons, cats and dogs. She gave alms to the needy and
shared her yoghurt with children. She walked between houses and alleys. In the
midst of nature, she'd go for long walks, and that's where she found her
happiness: adrenalin and dopamine pumping through her every time she walked or
ran. She sent money to charities (Art, natural disasters, Sidaction or the
cancer campaign TV show, even though she didn't have much money). And the
meaning of happiness becomes reality in action, challenge and solidarity, not
comfort and solitude. She was in a financially precarious situation. She would
have to work to meet her most basic needs. The world of work is difficult in
underdeveloped countries. It's a world of appearances, dominated by false presences,
common political, economic and religious interests of the region and the
government (city, region, surname, first name, parents, political party, public
or administrative relations). Between the cultivated and educated and the one
who has never picked up a book. Between the one who works in online commerce
and becomes a member of an association and the one who becomes a teacher with
no diploma and no knowledge. Between the one who doesn't practice his prayer;
but becomes a good practitioner thanks to listening to the Koran on YouTube or
via application. Or when he attends the mosque on Fridays, religious holidays
or (visible) funerals. The paradox of the person who listens to a lot of music
online, but does a lot of praying at home (not visible). No one sees your truth
but what is visible to you online. What I'm denouncing here is the invisible
behind the visible. The world of appearances and masks. As Honoré de Balzac states in Physiology of
Wedding (1830): "Everything is true
and everything is false, proclaimed a fact that the naturally sophistical human
mind interprets in its own way; for it really seems that human things have as
many facets as there are minds that consider them." Or Oscars Wilde in Wings of
Paradox (19960) says: "What's
fashionable is what you wear. What's unfashionable is what others wear. Just as
vulgarity is the prerogative of others. And pretenses is the truth of others.
"
Finally,
in social networks, we become universalist, philanthropic, ambassadors without having
a title. You become an influencer, a fashionista, a famous supermodel and a
beauty queen without realizing it. Hashtags carry your signature, and you
become visible behind the invisible. You can even marry a prince if you feel
like it. You'll become rich overnight, but you'll have to live with the
consequences of that fame. You decide what you are and what you want to be. If
there's no evil in your environment or surroundings, or if your health, morals,
religion or culture don't present any drawbacks to your ascent on the backs of
others, then you're in the clear: ‘’A
society without dreams is a society without a future. ‘’ Carl Jung She finally wrote her true story and her
diary with more details, more discoveries, and more journeys to share her
vision of the inner and outer world. Her secret garden that nobody knows, only
her, her thoughts, her anxieties, her dreams, the impressions of her empty
heart before her parents died and after their death. Writing to build her own
world, vanished by a rigid, ignorant system. Through daydreams and poetry, she
ruminates on her past, elaborates her anxieties and appropriates them to build
and relive herself. She becomes a writer and poet
among the cursed poets who circulate in algorithms, in data or on the web, with
no real experience or work. Like somnambulists and zombies, condemned to remain
in the virtual between being and appearing. A shining star in a dark sky with
an infinite horizon, a wandering soul searching for another soul like itself in
search of truth and light in the alchemy of souls. Towards the existential
quest for wholeness, not perfection. What Jung reminds us of is the meeting of two chemical substances,
after reaction, both are transformed.
