Thanks for sharing the unfolding of you journey! Not sure why, but I got to share this: When you get to the center again, use “…Im not inferior to you…” (jkv), staring firmly into the mirror you’ve found there.
Thanks for this. Out of interest did Bob Falconer say you had a UB? I’m curious if the UB specialist always sees a UB, or often. It’s interesting the parallels between shamanic exorcism and modern trauma therapy and the blurred line between them…it got quite blurred in the 80s with the multiple personality disorder satanic panic. In my own spiritual emergency 20 years ago I also had a recurring nightmare figure that I ended up interpreting as a dissociated / demonised part of myself demanding attention.
By the way, you came to mind many times writing this article. Because I recall back in the day, you said something about having to fight the bad guy again at the end of the movie. That really lodged in my unconscious.
I got obsessed with the ‘wild man’ figure from my nightmares and actually spent a few years on a sprawling book tracing the appearance of this figure in different eras and texts. Totally bonkers but it was meaningful and fun to work on. https://www.philosophyforlife.org/blog/the-wild-man-1
I enjoyed that article. I’m reading the shadow one. It was interesting timing for me that I did this out this interview with Dan Lawrence while I was writing this, which is one of my favorite ever read or listen to the bit about his experience with the dangerous man in the psychiatric unit. https://newsletter.theleading-edge.org/p/a-dream-life

He didn’t say either way but my response was it was implicit in the treatment given what I’d read about his methods.
