A fact overlooked

There is a simple fact behind how I have been living in Melbourne, watching like a kingfisher on a branch.

I’ve been writing these blogs, I know these blogs have been read, yet no one I didn’t first tell about these blogs has admitted to me that they had read these posts. Not one. I’ve heard people tease me with allusions to what I have written plenty of times, but I have never received an acknowledgment.

I have not been allowed to personally be the author of what I have written, by this society. I’ve put my name to these posts, no question. In nearly three years in Melbourne I’ve caught plenty of snakes and knocked them senseless as well as larking as loudly as any Kookaburra does. But no one asked. So all I can do is sit and watch, even while I sense…

There is another simple thing about freedom and human rights. Human rights are inalienable. If people are eavesdropping on me or spying on me with hidden cameras and are selectively making that public they are acting illegally and unethically. I do not accept that situation at all and I made that clear. If you don’t like the points I’ve made on my blogs then come up with valid counter arguments. I have been arguing for our democracy. My problem is that I do care.

But I don’t know what’s going on, I am being deliberately kept in the dark. It’s all been going on for too long anyway. This seriously damages my ability to have a normal life, a family, a decent job and so on. I’m 40 years old now. It’s also about being honest.

Its a changed society that has learnt to put up with things under Howard and Howard-Lite.  Perhaps one way to explain this and the way I have been treated is  to use Jung’s idea of the Shadow, but more in a collective sense.

The shadow

The shadow is an unconscious complex that is defined as the repressed and suppressed aspects of the conscious self.

There are constructive and destructive types of shadow…

On the constructive side, the shadow may represent hidden positive influences. This has been referred to as “the gold in the shadow.” Jung points to the story of Moses and Al-Khidr in the 18th Sura (Chapter) of the Koran as an example.

Analytical psychology – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Australians today may not value these new ideas expressed on these blogs, and that may be a reason why. Perhaps this situation has persisted at least until Bush and Cheney have gone for much the same reason as for mending the old wall in the story of Moses and Al-Khidr (The Green One), following the link in the quote above.  These new ideas on these blogs will help to build a sustainable future. Another quote from the Wikipedia article on Analytic psychology:

According to Jung the human being deals with the reality of the Shadow in four ways: denial, projection, integration and/or transmutation.

Australian culture is in a strange zone at the moment, and people from outside Australia might not realise this.
