Is "I'm not like other girls" phrase a cope from internalized misogyny or a healthy resistance towards the peer group? Or something completely different?

The anima “damsel” here in the film, tellingly, is trapped in a barred cage which floats in the air, much like women in a patriarchy are put on a pedestal while at the same time being held in bondage. And this prison cell has strings or ropes dangling from it by which the creatures on the ground pull it through the streets of the metropolis. Pulling artificial dreams and distorted images of the feminine and of spirituality, the peons of modern civilization — enslaved by their brutal birth traumas within and crushing economic oppression without — move their bedraggled forms forward through the anonymous and unwelcoming maze of the polluted urban landscape. Thus, with matriarchy in a cage, with the anima and the feeling self enslaved in the patriarchy, the only response for the hero, like the Pegasus erupting out of the stump of the Medusa, is to engage in an imagined life. In this substitute patriarchal fantasy, the hero does, actually, at a point later on in the movie, have a confrontation and fight to the death with a “dragon” — in this case, a giant, metallic, heavily armored Asian warrior figure. Sure enough the result is futile, showing an actual inability to do anything about the enslaved self and its feelings. So, the hero is not free, cannot free anyone else, is not able to do anything but engage in pyrrhic victories and struggles in… FUNNY GOD Page 78

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 43 That’s quite the watch! It assumes, also, that all the learning that we observe planetmates doing concurrent with the manifestation of said instinctive acts are not actual “learning” but are part of that clockwork-like predeter- mination of any and all events — no matter how tiny or insignificant — which is caused by the infinitesimal configuration of its inner “gears” of DNA. And, remember, no consciousness involved! Hell, that’s not necessary, right? Not fantastical enough, this behavior is not just of a crude sort, for example, a bird’s ability to create a nest. No, somehow instinct is said to account for the fact that birds are able to, not only fly in formation, but make specific synchronous movements in full flight among all of them, and to do it always and an infinite numbers of times, all without any blemishes in their choreography, or mistake, or collision among them. Supposedly, these genes of millions of years development know when and how each individual bird in flight, throughout that span of eons, is supposed to move in any particular millisecond that each individual bird is in flight.

Yet how cowardly, on the other hand, was it to conform to the draft and do what one was told in helping to precipitate the war and contribute to the slaughter of millions and the ecocide of huge swaths of land? When the engines of society are rolling over human lives, is it more cowardly to refuse to be a part of it, often suffering severe consequences of jail time, approbation, and worse? Is it more cowardly to lay one’s body on the gears of the infernal machine, as Mario Savio saw it?2 Or is it actually more cowardly to refuse to stand up for life, become an obedient soldier, and go along with the patriarchy, receiving all kinds of applause and reward for obeying it in the process and for the rest of one’s life? At any rate, Tom Robbins, in his novel, opens the door to a new way of understanding heroism and cowardice — one which, as well, is most relevant to our current multicultural times. He shows that a true heroic approach is one that dares to do what no one has ever done: change the prevailing pattern, buck tradition, create a new cultural form — one more in line with reason, life, peace, love, and freedom from unnecessary suffering and brutality. In that, he may have been inspired by the Yippies and Abbie Hoffman during the Vietnam War. Robbins shows the “left hand” of the Tao of Funny God, if you will. That is, that it is certainly transcendent and powerful to confront evil and to not be caught up in it and to exemplify a loving, creative, and peaceful response. But in the case of a war, when it comes to an evil (such as societal pressure to become a soldier and to kill) that cannot be… FUNNY GOD Page 50

3. THE FARTHER REACHES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE Page 37 …healing-growth of the primal process. For busts involve bringing in an authoritarian tone with all the baggage that carries from childhood and the usual experiences one has of know-it-all, judgmental, order-issuing parents. Sure, a misapplied “bust” could lead to more processing and clearing of painful issues, down the line. All experience is helpful to that end. Yet — with issues now projected onto the therapist and the lack of confidence in and disrespect of the facilitator accompanying that — who to lead the client to and through that? The primary job of the therapist is to be authentic and real and to model that to clients who have no clue as to what that is like or even looks like. This sometimes, though infrequently, involves the therapist deciding correctly what confrontation is therapeutic and necessary ... so as not to participate in enabling the client, for one thing. Truth is first and foremost a characteristic of authenticity, and the therapist must provide clear and honest “reflecting back,” although as deftly kind and regardful as possible. However, who leads one “around” a counselor who is him- or herself in the dark and acting out, even if only subtly? It stymies the process. Dead stop. Swirling.

I honestly don't get it. Explain this "insult" to me like I'm five.

Are they incapable of doing this for themselves?

Do they miss their mothers doing this for them?

Because it feels like they're telling on themselves to me.

Or else this reasoning posits that you exist, but that you are different and superior to all the rest of Nature, to all other planetmates, which is a kind of egotism, specifically anthropocentrism, that is not consistent with true understanding. Such egoistic, anthropocentric, thinking only finds what it posits in the first place.3 Beyond that, what necessarily follows is that the machine is so wonderful it is able to perform exactly appropriately in applying its mechanical actions to an infinite number of situations and nuances of events. It apparently knows, ahead of time — that is, it is built perfectly into its configuration of molecules of DNA — when that bird is going to come across that twig, of that size, at that position in space (and time), and angle in relation to it, so that it will reach down its beak and grasp that twig and pick it up and move it to the side and over to a stack of other twigs, perfectly arranged previously in the shape of a nest, all performed perfectly, albeit somehow magically. And the bird will fit that twig into where it will most optimally bring about a further addition to that nest. PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 42

FUNNY GOD Page 50 …confused about morality and mores and directionless ... unhappy. Whereas, I contend it is good thing. This accessibility of cultural ideas, other than those that one was born into, has profound implications for a postmodern multicultural world — one whose mixing of cultural ideas is increased exponentially through the catalyst of the internet. I believe those implications are hopeful and wonderful and that they set the stage for a better way and an alternative path for a humanity currently heading for an abyss. Indeed, in Robbins’s novel, the ruler, Alobar, does something revolutionary: He runs away; effectively saying “to hell with this bullshit!” This can be seen as parallel to the draft “dodgers” during the Vietnam War in America. They were roundly criticized for being cowardly; and certainly there was self-interest involved in what they did. Yet how cowardly, on the other hand, was it to conform to the draft and do what one was told in helping to precipitate the war and contribute to the slaughter of millions and the ecocide of huge swaths of land?

Unconditional Regard and the Primal Process As for how one accessed these deeper levels of the primal process, I discovered that a radical unconditional acceptance ... an unconditional regard bordering upon, if not actually, love ... beyond even that advanced by Janov, was crucial in facilitating them. And I proposed to other therapists that this be employed.6 Certainly, Janov employed a radical “client-centered” therapy, using the words of Carl Rogers. Primal states simply cannot be accessed without a radical acceptance by the therapist of all possible feelings and feelings-states that can arise in the client. The facilitator had to be more than just “okay” with the emergence of this widely varied material. That acceptance had to be authentically embodied in the facilitator. Still, Janov retained a small bit of an authoritarian model in that his version of therapy used “busts” — interpretations inserted by the therapist that are meant to stimulate the therapeutic process and possibly precipitate breakthroughs. Often useful, they come with a caveat: For the therapist must always be correct in such interpretations. Wrong input into the therapeutic process can do significant damage to the… PROLOGUE: PRIMAL PSYCHOLOGY, FARTHER REACHES OF EXPERIENCE Page 36
