" On the one hand, we see a human animal who is partly dead to the world, who is most “dignified” when he shows a certain obliviousness to his fate, when he allows himself to be driven through life; who is most “free” when he lives in secure dependency on powers around him, when he is least in possession of himself.
On the other hand, we get an image of a human animal who is overly sensitive to the world, who cannot shut it down, who is thrown back on his own meagre powers, and who seems least free to move and act, least in possession of himself, and most undignified. Whichever image we choose to identify with depends in large part upon ourselves”
~ Ernest Becker
I remember as a child my very well intentioned mother was always telling me that I could do anything men could do, and do it better. The seed was planted and that developed into an addiction to perfection & linear logical accomplishments. Now, I am not against achievements, it is in fact a pillar of flourishing in Positive Psychology. The problem is that we are deeply conditioned to chase things that were never ours in the first place, draining vital life force energy.
In this episode I follow some threads as I discuss feminine & masculine energy, how addiction to perfection is slowly killing us, and how to begin breaking the pattern.
