Why would you celebrate Christmas? Do you beleive in God or Jesus? Is it a tradition? A tradition of what? Did you earn Christmas? What makes one "earn" Christmas?Why not?I believe we MUST live forthright with the world. We must strive to be as honest with yourself as possible. To fill our proper place in the world. And manifest the best ME we can be by projecting that honest outwardly as well as inward. This means searching out our pitfalls. Identifying our weaknesses and trying out best to fill in those gaps. If we are honest with ourselves and each other this is growing processes which ends are beyond what we can imagine. This also means being honest about our strengths as well. We've been trained to believe being honest about one's strengths in vain and pretentious. It may very well be. BUT we are all striving to be honest AND you're incorrect about the capacity or competence others would point that out. Lastly, in line with this conversation. WE MUST BE willing to deny ourselves that which we didn't earn. That which we do not deserve nor earned nor are entitled to.

Wrench Lyfe Ep 15 - The World is Not on FireWelcome back to wrenchlyfe.This episode is brought to you by every second you waste staring at your fucking phone.By every moment you let slip through your feeble fingers with complacency and arrogance.For every paradox and contraction in your character that you cant see, and Trust me everyone else can see it.Do i sound bitter? Its because i am.This podcast is brought to you by the fire that burns in your heart. The fire you seldom feel anymore. The fire you wish you still had.The fire that fueled the teenage angst that made your first loves as just sweet as the heartache and bitterness then eventually manifested into.The fire that inspired transcription of words that can bring tears to your eyes,The fire that makes you want pack your fist full of hate and take a swing at the world.The fire that when hardnessed, stoked, and controlled can change the world.And in fact, its the only thing that ever has.it starts with you.Your mind, your body, your soul.It starts with Your mental and physically health progressing one step at a timeWe live in time like all times when the bravest thing you can do is speak the truth. Use your eyes and your logic. I pray you don't fall victim to groupthink, mob mentality, or toxic ideologyWelcome back my friends. I hope your well.I recorded the following podcast at Wilmington Notch in the Adirondacks. I pulled over, lugged my gear into the woods and finally got this shit off my chest.This is certainly not me at my best. I spoke from the top of my head. I was not as clear as i needed to be, but it is what it is. Its me, its us, its wrenchlyfe.This is progression based mental health. We must accept how imperfect and flawed we are in order to make as steps forward.In the following podcast, or rant, or cry for help, whatever you will call it.I sound lost, worried, and scared. The political climate has left on walking on egg shells far too often. I hear in my voice a lost child, scared about the future.I feel like the 8 year boy sitting quietly in the livingroom, a tear forming in the corner of their eye as his parents scream at each other in the kitchen. The storm is coming inBut in this situation the kitchen is american politics, the livingroom where i am trying to live my best life and we? We are both the lost boy and the screaming parents.I am fearful of the collateral damage.Id say enjoy, but what i really mean is think about it.

FreudMind of Matter or MOM podcastYour mind, or perspective isn't reality. It’s a tool, a filter through which the internal and external world is strained. Getting more perspective is add new tools to your psychological tool kit, like a colorblind person getting color correcting glasses for the first timeWe will start the Mind Over Matter series (MOM) by outlining the fathers of psychology Jung, Nietzsche, Adler, and today we start with Freud.SectionsLevels of the psycheAnalogies for themWhat a Self defense mechanism is according to FreudThe 3 types of anxiety as defined by FreudWhat types of defense mechanisms there are in Freud's veiwAnd then my take on themTHE IDunconscious that seek pleasureBlind desire, detached, basic primal instincts, impulsive, satisfactoryIt is the Horse to the riderTHE EGO“self” taking account for the unconscious, mediating the balance being pain and pleasure, the body and the mind, and realityTHE SUPEREGO“the conscience of mind”Emerging around 5 or 6 years old this is the developed filter of real life regarding implementations of right and wrong.Split further into “the ideal self” and “consciousness”The concince contains ideals and morals the exist within society that prevent people from acting out based on their internal desiresThe ideal self contain images of how people ought to behave according to societal idealsSelf IDeal is a borrow term from Freud's predecessor Alfred Adler who we will doing a podcast on later. Adler say the selfideal as the ideal self. Makes sense right. The best person you could be. Or God in a christian viewID solitary vicious wild beastEGO collaborative wild beast like wolvesSUPEREGO based in familial, cultural, religious, social software.ID raw components of a computerEGO operating softwareSUPER EGO web browser and google's search engine algorithm.Society is the internet**Freud claimed we hold Self Defense mechanisms to protect a favorable or preferred view of ourselves. Not to be confused with the “ideal self within the SUPEREGO. Each part the ID EGO and SUPEREGO will conflict with each other from time to time. This is where self defence mechanism manifest, most commonly as anxietyFreud identified 3 types of anxiety .Reality Anxiety, Neurotic Anxiety, & Moral AnxietyReality Anxiety is the most basic and is of the EGO. Getting hurt. PainNeurotic Anxiety comes from an unconscious fear that the basic impulses of the id will take control of the person, leading to eventual punishment from expressing the ids desiresMoral anxiety comes from the superego. It appears in the form of a fear of violating values or moral codes, and appears as feelings like guilt or shame.Anxiety occurs and the you attempt to find a rational way of escaping it using defense mechanism. These are ways that the ego develops to help deal with the id and the superego. Defense mechanisms often appear unconsciously and tend to distort or falsify reality. When the distortion of reality occurs, there is a change in perception which allows for a lessening in anxiety resulting in a reduction of tension within one's experiences. Sigmund Freud noted a number of ego defenses1) Denial- believing that what is true is actually falseDating someone who sucks and you stay with them. You know they sucks but you turn a bling eye on it as defence mechanism from the anxiety of breaking up2) Displacement- taking out impulses on a less threatening targetUpset at work and you take it out on your romantic partner rather than facing and resolving the issue3) Intellectualization- avoiding unacceptable emotions by focusing on the intellectual aspectsAnalyzing aspect of your situation that are as far from the core of emotion. That could be think about the FACT that she cheated on you but not the fact that she was WILLING to because YOU fell short.4) Projection- attributing uncomfortable feelings to others VERY COMMONObviously this is the blame game. Its Mom’s fault, Its her faultCarl Jung Agreed “Projection is one the commonest psychic phenomena, Everything that is unconscious in ourselves we discover in our neighbour, we treat them accordingly” Archaic ManThis is huge. Verd often the things we dislike in ourselves we dislike in others. We are blind to see it in ourselves, we deny it.5) Rationalization- creating false but believable justificationsTied to intellectualization. I quit my job because my boss treated my poorly and not think that he was harsh on you because you were performing poorly6) Reaction Formation- taking the opposite belief because the true belief causes anxietyBURN IT TO THE GROUND. Fighting with my partner… so lets break up. Also phonemons like Stockholm syndrome“Little man syndrome” often think they are bigger than they are7) Regression- going back to a previous stage of developmentIn response to the anxiety of a promotion or added responsibility at work you choose to regress to another position or job below your current position to avoid that anxiety“Choosing” to be single because of the anxiety of a relationship8) Repression- pushing uncomfortable thoughts out of conscious awareness9) Suppression- consciously forcing unwanted thoughts out of our awarenessDenying a promotion because you deny your own abilityPeople who don't want to think about their loved ones dying.10) Sublimation- redirecting ‘wrong’ urges into socially acceptable actions. These defenses are not under our conscious control and our unconscious will use one or more to protect one's self from stressful situations. They are natural and normal and without these, neurosis develops such as anxiety states, phobias, obsessions, or hysteria.These are the good ones. Stress relievers and stress managers.Working out your anger ect ectProjection can be a useful tool for your meditation space. We should strive to be critical of what we dislike and project onto others, extract it from the physical world and reintegrate it into our mind into something closer to conscious awareness. This is hard. This can be damn near impossible if your still deep in neurosis.On the contrast if you are too deep into projection it is its own neurosis.You will constantly be looking for scapegoats to project on and mostly likely to be a loved one.I think we can all relate to thisUltimately you push them away. then what? Look within at what Jung calls “the shadow” or find another.Keep doing this and eventually you learn it's easier and more safer (from your shadow) to (get ready for this) its easier to project on to an entry group of people as your scapegoat.t the choice is simple. You're served an solution, your giving a nice white screen to project on.#collectivism #identitypolitics #intersectionality #reactionaryfeminism #blacklivesmatter #bluelivesmatter** It is important to note that not all defense mechanisms are entirely negative. The political statements are generally about the abstraction humans into groups and NOT about the specifics of the political issue**Projection primes your for collective ideology. When offered a group to project on and a group to join in that projection, history tell us we join.Some love to blame the majority of war on religion, i offer projection.We must be honest with ourselves.We mustt be honest without ourselves in order to be honest with othersWe must be honest with outselves BEFORE we can be honest with othersWe must embrace our shadow.In our next podcast we will dive into the psychology of the great Carl JungThe individuation process with includes the ShadowJung believed if we didn't answer answer the projection of the shadow on an individual level then the only outcome would be WarsEnd Jung qoute from Visions: Notes of the Seminars Give between 1930 and 1934“Modern people, are ignorant of what they really areWe have simply forgotten what a human being really is,So we have men like Nietzsche and Freud, and Adler, who tell us what we are quite mercilessly.We have to discover our shadow. Otherwise we are driven into a world war in order to see what beasts we really are”
