Men,
I have something potentially disturbing to inform you of. For those like me with the eyes to see, you are much more naked than you might realize. I will do my best to explain in the gentlest way possible to the emperor that he has no clothes.
Sincerely,
Your friend Cris
Am I telling you that your eggplant is hanging out your tunic? Well, you are exposing the innermost tender parts of your soul in ways you don’t seem to realize. Why do I care? It gives others a convenient hook to extract your money, your time, and ultimately your life force, and that pisses me off.
There was a man in part 1 of our series on hyper-reality and artificial love who gave $75k to a livestream cam girl who probably wouldn’t recognize him on the street if he ran into her. He’s given up on himself and what he truly deserves. The worst part is that he doesn’t know it. The corporations who do know it are taking advantage of his ignorance.
One cruel and merciful day his fantasy will crack, this much we know. Will he move on to the next fantasy girl? Some men continue until their sixth or seventh decade in this fantasy world until there’s not enough testosterone anymore for them to get winded.
What the hell is an anima and why do you care?
Decoding your anima is the only way I know of to escape this hell of hyper-real artificial love extracting your money, time, and life force, and I’m not just talking about cam girls.
Why does it piss me off that men are being manipulated? Because I’m sitting over here on the other side of the table. I have conversations with hundreds of gorgeous, incredible women who are single and not happy about it. They would be thrilled to have a man give $75k to help them build their dreams, but we aren’t willing to be your fantasy idol girl. As my granny rightly warned me “If you marry a rich fool, you earn every penny.”
I’m going to say this clearly so you can’t miss how important it is: Women need men to integrate your damn anima or we can’t date you.
We the powerful and not-batshit cray women of the world may have in the past decided to caretake you, but we finally figured out that it never works. We can no longer date you.
When we try to caretake you, it eventually inevitably kills the sex life. You can have us mama you or meet you as a lover, but not both. Which would you prefer?
Though Carl Jung coined the term in 1916, but in the 100+ years since this enormously helpful decoder of your subconscious is still not widely known. The anima is the feminine part of the man which society tells you you can’t have. There are certain characteristics, skills, and vibes that men are allowed to have, and there are certain ones women are allowed to have. Women have a corresponding animus, which is our disowned masculine characteristics.
Men’s anima represents the part of the feminine that’s inside them. Until they incorporate it, they idolize the women who match these qualities. Men’s idolatry of the feminine ironically inevitably separates them from being in full relationship with the women they desire.
Each culture’s list of what qualities men and women “should” have are different. Don’t get lost there. The point is that we all have ways of expressing ourselves that got cut off in childhood. For boys, for example, if you walked differently than men in your culture are supposed to walk, you might get your ass beat. You stopped walking like yourself whether you wanted to or not. Guess what? When you grow up you ain’t gon’ have the swagger that is rightfully yours.
That particular example won’t apply to all men. The thing that was cut off from you might be something else entirely. Don’t worry though, I’ll take you through the steps to find your lost power.
What flavor is your anima?
There are a few musician who have begun to handle the potency of the anima as the catalyst for their expression. These artists express different flavors because the qualities of the feminine inside them vary widely from man to man, as you’re about to see.
Thom Yorke’s anima is wise, understated, and calm. Of course, she is beautiful, but her clothes are modest. She’s an everywoman. She doesn’t speak but sends plenty of telepathic messages through her expressive eyes. She is awake to the chaos and brainwashed groupthink all around, in contrast to his sleepy discombobulation.
Matteo Milleri is so enamored with the concept that he performs under the moniker Anyma. His anima is the fembot – precise, alien, and in some ways untouchable owing to her exoskeleton. Note that in real life, the fembot is portrayed by Bjork, Robyn, and Grimes, the latter whom he has collaborated with.
In his more recent shows, Matteo pushed the edge from the sterile fembot into the shadow siren archetype. In contrast to the synthetic fembot, the siren is covered in tendrils and weaves organic bits and bobs about her breasts. She’s definitely not to be trusted, but can you look away from her magnetism?
Picard’s anima in Star Trek: First Contact was a fembot of the darkest kind, the Borg Queen. “I am the beginning and the end. I bring order into chaos.” She represents the raw terror men have of being swallowed by the dark feminine. Pretty impressive, eh?
It’s clear from these examples that the power of the feminine is inherent in the anima. They may be evil as these last examples show, or their wholesome light may balance out the melancholy of men like Thom Yorke who are already on the dark side. Either way though, the anima is powerful, as it’s meant to bring you into your power.
And finally, we dive into the wonder that is MidJourney.
If you want to get a fuller breadth of the collective anima, wander on over to the MidJourney Explore page. I’m never surprised to see the page covered in beautiful women. Men love making portraits of their anima. They don’t know they’re doing this, but they are.
So yeah guys, your eggplant is FOR SURE hanging out of your tunic. Sorry, but someone had to tell you.
Some of these anima are sassy, some are soft and innocent as a bowl of butterscotch pudding, and some are superheroes or elves. You won’t see the same one twice. All of them point the way forward for their maker to step into his power, as counter-intuitive as that might seem at first.
Ok, more soon on how to get started doing something with this knowledge.
Ta for now,
Cris
More please…
I was interviewed on the podcast, Ten Thousand Heroes. Find it on Spotify, Apple, or anywhere you get your podcasts. It’s episode #110.
This just dropped a few days ago on the Integral Stage about the intricacies of artificial sentient intelligence and building augmented intelligences that inspire and support humanity instead of you know, throwing the whole thing down the toilet.
This once more proves the statement: I can't be WHOLE until I am COMPLETE. Ty friend!
