see dali48 and reading & writing about feelings and escape and self-acceptance etc.


14.12.1998 - Interpretation of dali48
All such attempts to escape oneself must fail, - the only real escape from life is death. - In the alcoholic there is a terrible rage which is based on feelings of guilt against his own self. - Feelings of guilt for sexual impulses and anger are the psychic basis for the flight into the alcohol. - It is neither a sedative (see e.g. valerian, etc. - d.48) nor an anesthetic, although it can reduce anxiety and pain sensitivity. - Alcohol does not inhibit and lays a distance between humans and the reality which allows a certain amount of expression. - We all know the pressure at work or at home, but the inner stress is the most important. - It arises when oppressed feelings threaten to break into consciousness. - In general this happens, when the external stress is diminished, as on weekends or on vacation. - What happens when one has strong sexual feelings, but at the same time excessive feelings of guilt? - It is enough to drive one into the madness. - Since a life without feelings is meaningless, - these people grab every drug which promises a feeling of excitement and liveliness. - The madness lies here in the loss of the contact to the life of the body, and in the flight into a world of fantasies and images of imagination. - The self-acceptance is what lacks the narcissistic people who have separated their bodies from themselves, so that the libido is invested into the "ego" (see illusion etc. - d.48), and not in the body or in the self. - Without self-acceptance there is no self-love. - The tragedy of narcissistic people is that they desperately desire to be loved or to love - but they can not express these feelings or they dare not. - It would cause them too much pain. - Denying their own feelings is crazy - for it is a denial of the self ...
