This indicates that when one does not really deal with evil or unconscious materials and merely whacks away at its most visible (and indirect and symbolic) elements, if it, like the Hydra, does not sprout another head, then it is substituted for with an illusory and fantasy creation. This is a lot like the “positive” thinking one hears so many people espousing. They do not seem to know that in going to war with all their “negative” thoughts they are creating a fantasy world to live in, one that is built up of all the Pegasuses of thought that are born from going after only the most obvious aspects of darkness and evil as represented by thoughts (not feelings). The movie, Brazil, shows us other intriguing elements. The “hero” in these dreams is shown with wings of metal. Tellingly, while he flies like a bird, his garb is also metallic; he is protected completely by armor. Armor expresses the defensive quality of this “hero’s” quest. It is a substitute quest, divorced from reality, and keeping him from dealing with the real evils in his life and society and with the real shortcomings of his life and in his character and spiritual development. It is a rather good depiction of the Jungian approach I detailed above, where one, as if in some kind of Plato’s cave of reflected realities, struggles and contends with the reflected images of reality. And in doing so, one is doomed to failure. There is, in actuality, no carrying over of hocus pocus into any real world. Perpetual ritual act… FUNNY GOD Page 76

FUNNY GOD Page 48 …world, to leave the world a better place — are most often embodied in easier to do and indirect modes of participation, with no real commitment on one’s part. Rather than stand up for injustice, one gives money to the starving in Africa. Rather than put oneself on the line for the planet as the Greenpeace, Earth First, and environmental activists do, one might sponsor a middle schooler in an Earth Day 3k, driving one’s car to get her there. One can support litter pickup and recycling or expound on the social media about the stupidity of others in not saving the planet, while gathering up one’s throwaways in polyethylene bags. One can claim to be making the world a safer place, while slaughtering innocents in far off lands under the direction of wealthy overseers. For the outer world and its horror ... handle with tongs, only. You Just Can’t Slay a Volcano But what may seem to work at the second-line or psychodynamic level — the conquering or slaying of negative feelings ... and notice that I said “seem” — has no place at all at the perinatal ... or, in the case of the world, at the actual. For here, in terms of one’s feelings, the pain energy is overwhelming and pervasive, more than can be dealt with…
