From John Woodcock:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Very interesting dreams to read and also a relief to hear that they are being taken seriously. I have seen some videos of COVID nightmares and the predominant professional advice seems to be how to reduce the nightmares, even stop them, not to seek their wisdom.\u00a0 Fixing evil into an \u201centity\u201d becomes an unbearable weight (of responsibility or guilt?). And of course there is\u00a0the precision of that image as an ANVIL to\u00a0consider too. The word springs\u00a0from a meaning of\u00a0\u201cbeating\u201d\u2014Ellen’s\u00a0\u201cvicious and violent cycles\u201d? Is this what\u00a0happens when we attempt to fix\u00a0meaning or reify the psyche? We get\u00a0beaten on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The\u00a0collapse\u00a0of fixity and the\u00a0rise\u00a0of fluidity\u00a0puts\u00a0everyone\u00a0“at\u00a0sea” and faced with the\u00a0consequent\u00a0loss of stability\u00a0of most everything.

The dreams seem to highlight the supreme danger of \u201cfixing\u201d or reifying the source of evil (whether as the COVID or men in suits, wolves of Wall Street,<\/em> or whatever). \u201cEllen\u201d is caught in a vicious and violent cycle with \u201can ancient evil force\u201d i.e. caught in the processes of the psyche until she is stopped by the little girl so that she can be taught \u201c strategy and math\u201d via the game of Othello,. If you just saw the game without knowing the rules, you would see a very mysterious fluid process of discs flipping from black to white, etc.\u2014a simplified version of what \u201cEllen\u201d was going through with the \u201cevil force\u201d. She has to learn the rules (make conscious) of being in such a fluid state\u2014they are not the same as the rules of materialism or fixed reality. And I will add we are ALL having to learn the rules of this new mode of being, i.e. with reality increasingly becoming fluid, not fixed\u2014the reality of the imagination, if\u00a0you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole notion of evil now has to be reworked but we still collectively and obsessively search for a fixed source of the evil causing the strife in the world (target zero or the virus or Trump\u2019s pathology, corporations, etc.) It may well be that the attempt to \u201cfix\u201d or reify (any aspect of) fluid reality may ITSELF be the source of evil now. \u201cEllen\u201d pursues this notion of a fixed source of evil and so finds an anvil. The dreamer seems to believe that its putrefying sickness could be strengthened by others (by the habit of reifying what needs to be kept fluid?) so she single-handedly decides to take it up in her arms and carry it away. In doing so she feels its unbearable weight. This dream fact may be a clue or hint for the dreamer and us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our times point to a breakdown\u00a0in a fixed stable reality (the reality of opposites) in favour of a more fluid reality that has come upon us and we all must learn its \u201cstrategy and math\u201d in order to synchronize with it rather than getting beaten on by its insistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
