Duality of Life and Death Drives in the Human Psyche: Libido and Mortido

Duality of Life and Death Drives in the Human Psyche: Libido and Mortido.

 These drives, also known as instincts, encompass intrapsychic attitudes. Within each of us lies an instinct propelling us both toward both life and death, where the term "drive" is interchangeable with instinct. Essentially, one's instincts are what propel and guide them. These opposing forces, representing theYour mind is intricately intertwined with this world. spectrum of life and death, perpetually chase each other in a continuous cycle, resembling a wheel.

The interplay of psychic motives resembles the yin and yang, where opposing elements chase each other in circles, and in doing so, they justify one another.

This cycle can be visualized as follows:
> Projections of the instinct (acute & extreme)
> —
> The instinct (1)
> —
> Stasis (0)
> —
> Rinse and repeat

The resulting correlation aligns with the extremes, creating an indeterminate process. This process refuses to commit, constantly changing its stance and statement every second, embodying an inherent indeterminacy. 

This is seen when children are born from you as an adult, your children will take your youth. Your energy is given to feed them and you soon wither away and you will return to the earth as you’re eaten away by worms and bacteria

 




 

 

This model inherently involves a continuous dance between opposing forces, representing life and death instincts. Through this constant interplay, its implied that individuals have the opportunity to integrate these opposites, leading to a more balanced and holistic understanding of the self, but unfortunately not promised. Though the very nature of these opposing forces creates an inherent conflict within that may never be fully resolved as they are opposing(despite moving and justifying one another). I believe equilibrium and balance may be temporary and new challenges may arise in the cycle due to instability and unpredictability in some. 


The tension between life and death instincts could also be seen as an inherent aspect of human existence. This tension could be the driving force behind questions of meaning, purpose, and the constant existential inquiry that characterizes human life.

Classpecting Layers of Consciousness

Classpecting Layers of Consciousness The aspects are all embedded and present in the nature and reality. Occupying various mythological roles and symbols involved in the creation of all we perceive and don’t perceive in our tangible universe. The aspects as polarities are not balkanized, mutually exclusive elements, but measure simply degrees of the same property or the X and Y axes of a point. Here, the aspects are grouped by the scope of their concerns, the fields of their consciousness and nescience. First layer: Animal Essentials—Rights and Viscera At the core of this diagram, are Hope, Breath, Blood and Rage, the innermost elements. Such aspects represent the rightful, organic or basic effects of the human condition, the conscience, viscera and heritage. These aspects are distinguished by the infantile, instinctual and innocent nature of their attitudes and reactions, defending the undeniable, self-evident and justifying birthright and conducting affairs with an intrinsic 'sen...

PY ON A MACROCOSMIC SCALE

PY ON A MACROCOSMIC SCALE   Physics : The Earth and its soil, reaching to the deepest layers of the earth; the bustling trees and their haggard roots, firmly holding them to the earth; the climate and the effects of phenomena on Mother Gaia. Considering Gaia's grooves and forests, as well as her deserts, from the tiniest stone to the largest mountains; waste and manure that nurture the soil, as well as drought and famine that erode and ravage her. Abundance and earthquakes. Disaster. Logic and Emotion : The Masculine and Feminine; the sun and the moon. Emotion refers to the essence and vibrations of the universe, the energy that holds the planets together, the push and pull of energy, the spondaic nature of particles colliding together, the splendor of the stars, and the grand tapestry of the universe. The forces interact with each other, holding, pulling, and tearing things apart. The song the universe sings, the grand orchestra played; the harmonious and disharm...

Archetypical Psychosophy Model

Archetypical Psychosophy Model The Placements 1st Placement: The Icon—The Conductor—The Ruler. 2nd Placement: The Parent—The Hero—The Witch. 3rd Placement: The Fallen—The Trickster—The Pendulum. 4th Placement: The Heir—The Child—The Subordinate. The 1st Placement relies completely on the internal monologue of the user, supplanting itself as its ruler and dictator. The aspect held in the ruler's gaze is the user's inheritance, Icon, and creates or alters their character. There is no room on the throne for anyone besides the king. Like the ruler archetype, it takes the gifts and attention of the subject (or aspect) as something it should feel entitled to, portraying an effortless mastery in the gifts bestowed upon it. Imagine the realm as a globe theater. The Ruler sits on his seat reclined and alone as a VIP, watching everything in the play unfold. The play is for him and him only, and all the characters and people are there because of him and for his usage and whims. The Placem...
