More From Mary Oliver

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. in fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. we can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. this explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. these influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.
Stars Real Taken
Big ideas come from the unconscious. this is true in art, in science, and in advertising. but your unconscious has to be well informed, or your idea will be irrelevant. stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. you can help this process by going for a long walk, or taking a hot bath, or drinking half a pint of claret. suddenly, if the telephone line from your unconscious is open, a big idea wells up within you.

I use [heraclitus' discovery of] enantiodromia for the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time. this characteristic phenomenon practically always occurs when an extreme, onesided tendency dominates conscious life; in time an equally powerful counterposition is built up, which first inhibits the conscious performance and subsequently breaks through the conscious control.
Powerful Discovery Opposites
At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

Occasionally i was so much better that i could go out; but the streets used to put me in such a rage that i would lock myself up for days rather than go out, even if i were well enough to do so! i could not bear to see all those preoccupied, anxious-looking creatures continuously surging along the streets past me! why are they always anxious? what is the meaning of their eternal care and worry? it is their wickedness, their perpetual detestable malice-that's what it is-they are all full of malice, malice!

If you don't make peace with your past it will keep showing up in your present.
Recovery Loss Past
But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. he cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
