Psychologists, type A and type B falsities, spirit, essence, and form

***

The modern psychologists have attempted to classify certain aspects of the spirit using such terms as: type A, type B, introverted, extroverted, etc. These, like all categories, are simply boxes the profane mind requires in order to prevent itself from admitting that it does not understand what it imagines is understandable. For in the end the spirit cannot be boxed in, nor compartmentalized, nor defined as such, because the spirit animates all things, all form, but is not limited by form; essence expresses itself only partially in form.

The transformed becomes the transformer. And though a completed individual may not know at the time which aspect or their manifold, fluid beings is being operated by the cosmos, they can be sure that it is related to either their own needs, or the needs of another, and is being used to ferment a new aspect of spirit into consciousness.

And yet in that grey, hazy dawn of my autonomous disenlightenment, nothing was altered, nothing subsided, nothing was better. I was still bound fruitlessly into this surrogate quintessence- into the lie, the Great Lie, the one that says- you are this, and life is that, and thus binds us fast into the wrong idea of ourselves.
