If I don't have something, perhaps it's because I'm not yet ready to receive it.
That thought came to me while reflecting on archetypes.
Do you remember those moments when everything feels possible? Your energy overflows, your body is filled with joyful boldness, and your mind with fresh ideas.
Like a paraglider caught in a thermal — a rising column of warm air.
For a while, you feel unstoppable and invincible. Things seem to fall into place on their own... until something suddenly goes wrong.
At best, luck turns against you and your plans fall apart. At worst, the paraglider collapses and plunges from a great height.
One incident is easy to dismiss as bad luck. But what if the same ridiculous pattern keeps repeating itself? Am I cursed or something?
What would you say if water spilled because you poured too much into a vessel?
A few of my own guesses — add yours:
"I was too generous, misjudged the volume, and poured too much."
"I was impatient and rushed. My movements were too abrupt."
"I didn't know the vessel had a crack. I'll need to seal it."
The problem is not the water. It is your judgment, your coordination, or the vessel itself.
Now replace the vessel with your personality, and the water with life force.
Inside each of us is an inexhaustible reserve of psychic energy. Access opens through contact with archetypes. But there are two difficulties: the first is making the connection; the second is not letting it flood you.
Without this energy, stagnation, despondency, and depression await. The work is to methodically build up the walls of the personality "vessel" — to hold a greater volume.
Of what?
The force to live, to love, and to create.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
