There are states as deep as the ocean. We've only tasted 7% of the ocean, you know? Or so. Someone is afraid of the depths of their unconscious. I'm afraid of the ocean. Both are right. We do not know what is happening there, what is stored there, and what is hidden and is waiting for the right moment to come to the surface. There are states as deep as the ocean. Poseidon is the ruler of the seas and earthquakes. That which comes from our unconscious shakes us, shakes our whole body, shouts with a Jericho trumpet, gives signs and symbols that we are unable to decipher. I cannot touch myself, because the language of the ocean is unknown to us, and the ocean rages in useless attempts to reach us …
It's good when someone is with us at such moments. Someone who cares. These are moments of despair, grief, perhaps facing death or real disaster. This knocks us off our feet, and sometimes we are unable to get up on our own. And it is not always necessary to do this immediately. A man with broken limbs is unable to get up and walk. It is necessary to learn to live your state of powerlessness without being destroyed by it. However, there is a high probability that something will still be destroyed. Sometimes, holding onto a burning house in which we have lived in complete comfort and coziness for many years, we hurt ourselves a lot. But something inside of us needs to leave, we need to plunge into the abyss, so that something new appears in this place, comes out of the foam, revives from the ashes. We'll have to let it be. You will have to watch the burning house, if now you do not have a fire hose on your hands, and you cannot fill this with a bucket of water
You can give up, give yourself time, without urgently trying to fix yourself, start up and let the mechanical soldier carry out his service, smiling like a Komsomol to all the mimicrocodiles left and right. Ask yourself how long it takes. Tell everyone who is important to hear that you are having a difficult period and you need time to live it. Let go of yourself. Put yourself on the pillows, and lie down as long as you want, without this "how can it be Mine-Substitute-Yours." Feel your condition to the depth to which you have the courage to reach. Close eyes. Sleep or not sleep. Be in silence. Be with yourself. Rock yourself. Calm yourself down. Love yourself. And to extract from your pain, longing and despair a sound that would make it clear to everyone, including you, how you really feel

Dark Season And Depth Psychology
On hearing the pagan Celtic New Year - three nights of Samhain, Christian Christmas, Catholic All Saints' Day, Christmastide between Christmas and Epiphany, Halloween, the Zoroastrian festival of souls Hamaspatmaydiyem, the Hindu festival of Diwali lights, the Mexican Day of the Dead … Our ancestors, the Slavs, also recorded this dark time and the transition to light in their legends.
