Hey there, stranger. Sending you a message since you asked for one. To let you know that someone out there is reading.
I transcribed your April 2018 journal entry, and I'm hoping you can feel something more than depression by the time you read this. As someone who has been there, I feel you. It sucks. Hoping that it's just the meds doing this to you. Maybe try talkin' to Jimmy about your life since he sounds like an alright kid.
There any delicious foods that you remember eating from your past? Maybe you could try being creative with the goob you're given in prison to try to recreate it. Something else creative that you could try doing maybe.
So hey, hold onto your dignity and take good care of yourself. You're not alone. Sending you a digital pat on the shoulder.
Anyway I'm trying to type all this on my phone, this site will only let me type a certian amount of words. On the last one I left off on Hyperborea so I will pick up where I left off..
Who were suppose to live exquisitely well, in accord with nature. The fourth labour, the boar has to be captured: sets the scene of spiritual rejuvenation at mid winter. Snow drifts are mentioned. The boars tusk is related to the New moon, and rebirth. He diverts rivers in order to clean out years of accumulated dung. For a task quite beyond the power of the personal conscious ego, he mobilizes the forces of nature. The cattle represent years and it is the years of filth and pestilence, I.e. the collective shadow, which is to be cleared away, cleansed and purified. The birds, the bull, the mares: refer to other vicarious aspects. Of the animal instincts in man. The girdle of the amozon queen: may be a manifestation of the Anima. Hera-cules is part trickster as he tricks Atlas in order to bring unconscious material to light. The twelfth labour, capturing Cerberus: In coming to grips with the monstrous guardian at the threshold of the underworld, he becomes free to pass between the conscious and the unconscious realms. He has destroyed the barrier between them, and restored nature, whole, of a piece. Two aspects of the later career of Heracules both point to an uneasy relationship between the heroic conscious ego and the unconscious feminine Anima. In the one he is dressed in feminine garb, doing the feminine task of spinning, as slave to Omphale, Queen of Lydia. In the other his jealous wife gives him a tunic soaked in centaurs blood, hoping to renew his animal passion for her, but he is consumed by inner fire and throws himself on his own funeral pyre: these depict two alternative fates for the conscious male ego in the second half of life, if it cannot integrate the Anima. Either the Anima may take possession of the psyche. Or the ego will consume itself, while projecting what is essentially an inner problem on to other women and thereby rousing the vengeance of feminine powers.... ( When you get these posts send me a copy please) Much Love Oath Brother!!!!!!
Hailsa Whispy, I'm back home now you'll most likely get a letter from me before you get this post, but since you mentioned the Glory of Hera' ( Hera-cules) I thought We shall Sword fight a bit. Speaking of the word Sword S-Word S standing for Sun the sun word SWORD.... And we both know the totem of the Sun Eh sssssssss! Sowilo will work I suppose. Hera-cules his labours have made him one of the most epic hero's in mythological tales. He is one of the best known Heroes. Named by the Pythia Herself. Meaning Glory of Hera', I've read that his whole life vocation was to glorify Zeus wife, the greatest of the goddesses, Among the Parsis the influence of Anahita( the virgin of the Holy Spirit) is always described as a fountain descending on the saints and heroes to whom she gives strength, and in the figure herewith this fountain, springing from the Goddess of celestial waters, is seen descending upon Hercules ( born on December 25th by the way) this cleansing water enabled him to cleanse the stable of Augeas.The popular version of this legend is that Hera-cules accomplished his arduous task by diverting the river Alpheus. The Greeks worshiped Hera-cules under the symbol of a square.The same as the Scandinavians worshipped WOTAN ( The Dice God).The British name for Hera-cules was OGMIUS, the spinner. Among the druids OGIUS, whom Rhys equates with the Greek Logos, was represented as an OLD MAN followed by a multitude, whom he led by slender and almost invisible golden chains fastened from his lips to their ears. He was regarded as the power of Eloquence, and might be termed the coax.( Persuading the simpletons) kinda like you do by the way!!!!! Anyhoot the twelve labours of Heracules are related to the twelve signs of the Zodiac ( Duh) the seasonal tasks of the year and the tasks through the different periods of life. But above all the inner symbolic task of coming to grips with the unconscious, and bringing unconscious content into the light of consciousness. Hera-cules is a Sun Hero, Symbol of Ego consciousness, but one who integrates much unconscious content,and gains Immortality. The madness of Heracules: He first cracks up( ring a bell?) Then he is armed by the god's: with special weapons required for doing battle with the inner unconscious realm. He fights the Lion: which is the physical counterpart of the Sun, symbol of the conscious Ego; therefore he does battle to subdue his own physical nature first. Not far from the entrance to the underworld he does battle with the Hydra: as soon as he crushes one head with his club two or three more grow in its place: Trying to slay the monstrous negative of nature in the outside world does not work. He has to withdraw projections and sever it's immortal head i.e. attack it's essential nature in the unconscious. The pursuit of the hind, which has to be brought back alive: Possibly refers to the pursuit of archetype-of-life (feminine). His chase takes him to the land of the Hyperboreans,
Hi Eric, I have been reading your articles and want to say they are very interesting and show that you are making the best out of a bad situation. Keep up the good work Bluesky
Dear Jack, First of all, awesome! You share my sister's birthday and that's really cool! 1) I'm sixteen. 2) I'm still in high school and I do online-school. 3) I really like certain TV shows which make me super happy! I love theatre, journaling and writing which makes me happy. As for what makes me sad, I don't have a lot of friends because I'm online-schooled so I get lonely a lot which sucks. Also, I have a pretty low self esteem so ya know, there's that. 4) I mentioned above that I like theatre, journaling and writing! I journal at least once a week to capture what's happening in my life. It's really nice and therapeutic. Sometimes I don't write about emotions, though. Sometimes I just write fun facts or just things I want to talk about but feel like I'd annoy people with. 5) I love all sorts of things, which I know is a vague answer. I like David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen a lot, and a bit of Jimmy Buffet and Neil Diamond. I also like The Cure, though. I'm not super into new bands, to be honest. Pete Seeger is by far my favorite musician. 6) I honestly don't read much at all! I read fan fiction a lot though, if you know what that is. It's basically like fans of a certain TV show, video game, book, movie, anything, will create their own stories using those characters.
I would like to, but my mother isn't super comfortable with the idea of sharing an address, which I have to respect. Also, I don't have a P.O. box. However, when you get closer to getting out (which I'm super happy is in a year!), I can give you my email address so we can keep messaging each other.
So here are more questions for you. Again, you don't have to answer all these questions if you don't feel comfortable. 1) What's your favorite animal? A kind of silly question, I know. 2) Where were you born? 3) I don't know if this is really rude to ask, but how long have you been in prison? 4) Do you have a family? A significant other/spouse? 5) What kind of music do you like? (I'm throwing that question back at you!) 6) What's a TV show you remember from your childhood?
That's all I'm going to write for today. I hope to hear from you soon! -Grace
Dear Kelly, I'm sorry things have been so awful for you. I really hope things get better for you. I hope you know that you have somebody in Illinois praying for you and sending you happier vibes. -Grace
Dear Kelly, For me, Illinois is pretty boring. But I guess boring is nice, isn't it? I rarely go up to Chicago, about once a year. When I do, it's to see the aquarium. I personally find fish really gross to be honest, but it's still fun! Plays are super fun! What plays were you in, if you remember? My theatre company is doing Beauty and The Beast this year. Like I said, I can't dance or sing, but I'm doing the makeup for it so I'm excited for that! There's a lot of fun makeup in it so that'll be great. I hope you're doing well. I wish you the best. I found another quote, if you'd like! Obviously you don't have to use these, I'd just like to share since I know you like quotes. This one doesn't so much come from a person, though, as it actually comes from a dumb TV show. "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere." It's from a dumb cartoon called Rick and Morty, which is a sci-fi thing with adult humor. It's about a grandpa and his grandson travelling dimensions and different planets. But anyways, the quote sounds super dark but it's actually not in context. The character is saying that the idea of a purpose in life, fitting in is a romantic ideal. It's okay not to fit in because nobody ever fits in. Nobody has a purpose in life to fulfill. This of course, is just an idea and nobody has to agree with it. I just found it to be an interesting philosophy on life. Anyways, I hope you're doing well. -Grace
