The system was not built to make you GREAT.
The system was built to make you remain average.
The system is a game, and the game is rigged.
The people who become GREAT are not the most educated, talented or deserving, they are those who are aware of how the game is played.
HOW ART AND CREATIVITY BUILD A MAN'S MASCULINE PURPOSE:
Every man who embarks on the individuation process must nurture his anima.
The anima is the inner feminine dimension within a man's psyche.
It expresses a man's emotions, intuition, creativity, imagination, capacity to love, and his relationship with his unconscious.
The anima is in 4 levels:
1. Eve
2. Helen
3. Mary
4. Sophia
EVE and HELEN are the sexual and romantic levels where a man is lost in the illusion of feminine charm. This is where most men get stuck and become simps.
MARY is the spiritual level where a man sees women as spiritual beings capable of fulfilling his spiritual desires, or if not careful, a chaotic MARY is capable of obliterating him.
SOPHIA is at the advanced level. This is where a man sees the feminine as the inner truth. He sees a woman as a reflection of his deepest shadow, and if a woman doesn't match his inner truth, she is discarded immediately before he gets attached to her (Oneitis).
Gardening (flowers), writing poetry, learning a musical instrument, drawing, carving, designing textiles and culinary arts are examples of activities that connect you to your deepest, innermost shadow of truth.
Do you know why many men are unable to let go of a woman even when she is toxic?
It is because such men are terrified of their SOPHIA.
They are disconnected from SOPHIA, and that means they are disconnected from their unconsciousness.
Then, when a woman threatens to leave, the man is so terrified because she has handed him a mirror that reflects his hollow, wounded anima.
Wounds inside a man's anima can be traced from the EVE level, which is where a man depends on a woman for nutrition, survival and validation. The EVE archetype is basically his mother.
A wounded man depends on a woman to cook, launder, feed him and advise him. This is the mama's boy. A wounded boy. He can't live alone because he is terrified.
A lot of wounded men are wounded by their mothers.
How?
They were attached to their mothers from childhood to adulthood until the dependence left a wound in their psyche.
These men can't stand a rejection from a woman they admire.
They would cry, be depressed and would obliterate their lives because the depth of the EVE WOUND is so painful to bear.
What do we tell men who are depressed because of a heartbreak or a divorce to do?
• Journal
• Write a book
• Learn poetry
• Learn art and design
• Create a carving
• Plant flowers
• Go to the rural areas and do farming
All these are activities that connect deeply with your SOPHIA, the highest level in your anima archetype.
By mastering your anima, you take control of your frame, thereby preventing effeminate emotions from dominating your masculine desires.
To avoid being stuck to a woman like a tick on a cow, dig deeper into your SOPHIA and unchain yourself from the chains of oneitis.
Creation is an anima act.
Anima appears in activities that connect a man to nature, beauty, symbols, dreams, and creativity
