looking too closely at the “evil things” of nature, without turning away, results in a mirror of reflected cruelty and becoming just like “her”.

women tend to “sink into inertia”, doing things the easy way and following a daily plan.
… but where there is no conflict, there is no life.
so PSA to women: stop being nerds and live a little

ego plots shut the door for anything spontaneous.
calculations “preclude the irrational events of life and imprison everything”.

key points:
1. narrow mindedness is a killer! and a pure defense mechanism contributed to fear and caught by rationalism. stingy people and lame nerds fall into this category.
2. regarding number symbolism, the transition from 3 to 4 and 7 to 8 posses the same difficulty with regards to achieving a higher level of Self
3. breakdown is necessary for renewal, but people that resist are cowards and lack ambition.

it is common for a mothers animus and/or fathers anima to be highly influential on their child’s unconscious attitudes. however, it is the original disposition that the child possesses from BIRTH that makes all the difference and dictates the stronger parent complex.

key takeaways…
1. NEVER overdo virtuous pity! every virtue, if overdone, is against instinct and brings self destruction.
2. the “animus beard”: speaking without thinking and often contradicting yourself can be lead to assume u don’t know what u want. so detach and figure it out.
3. do NOT mistake the instrument for the goal.
4. the “intuitive” should be careful to not mistake intuition for realization.

mainly talked abt overly sensitive, tyrannical individuals that u just gotta let be.

i think if me and von franz met in another timeline, we’d def hit it off.
