On the IPS FB forum I responded to a post by Joseph on Zizek commenting on Lacan and how our symptoms persist, despite our personal work and best intentions. I related this personal note.
As a youngun I was invulnerable and did extreme
everything leading to some serious, life-long injuries. The extreme pain
caused therefrom led me to various external treatments as well as a few
internal practices (Reichian being but one).
Those injuries (symptoms) were and are the prime movers in my having
developed a keen sense of the most subtle physical, energetic and
psychological manipulations within. Don't get me wrong; I'm still quite
broken. (As are we all, including the 'enlightened.') Just not as much
as I used to be, with at least some degree of management over it now.
Those symptoms still linger and demand that I continue this never-ending
work. And then you die.
