Explos ions from compression:

from yesterday's neurot ic repression ,

from today's bo rder l ine un sustainabi l i ty.

The emotio nal plague manifests i tsel f

in explosions of sadism and cr iminal i ty

It is a dis ease in the str ictest sense and it is o f fun damental

impo r tance that i t be recog nised as suc h to mobi l ise

educat ion and medic ine against i t rather than b ludgeon i t .

Here Reich speaks of

wh ich relat ionsh ip to establ ish,

as a possible therapy.

Financial greed is typ ical ch aracter trai t of emotio nal

plagues, as is devious cunning

The act ion i tsel f and th e mot ivat ion for the act ion nevercoincide

Concealment is an intrinsic part of the plague

The conc lusion from a thou ght is already ready even before

the reasoning h as f in ished.

A Defective Oral Trait which is Compulsive-Phallic Co-fixatedwith a Narcissistic Axis

directed by the defective dominant oral fixation

1st PART

The emo tional ly plague-str icken expect that

their needs in l i fe wi l l be sat isf ied

by th e wo r ld around them.

They try to transform the environm ent aroun d them so

thatthe i r ways of th inking and l iv ing are not d isturbed...

They hate wo rk because they perceive it as a bu rden and

they seek to avoid any responsibility

Taking and Expecting from Othersmaking up for what was no t received,

amplifying the acquired Narcissistic Reaction sadist ica l ly

II PARTE

La Peste Emozionale Oggi

Today time is borderline

Today violence is borderline

Today sexuality is borderline

In 80 years we have seen:

the lysis of phallic-compulsive fixations; the fall of the 4th(chest) and 3rd(neck) levels;

the lysis of paternity;

the collapse of the parent relationship through guilty and excessively tolerant maternity;

the modification-movement of the Super-Ego,

the transformation of the Living Body of Society, with the loss of so many differences and

the great increase in instances of indifference.

the shell which dissolves, first in Depressive liquidity and then, through volatile reactions,

into Borderline rarefaction

Zigmunt Bauman, with his fortunately, well-chosen word,photographed modernity as being l iquid . .. s l id ing through t ime l ike ashapeless l iquid because there is no t im e and no space for a shape

l iquif ied by velocity .

Todays Emotional Plague


10/22

12/22

For the younger generation we are in a Tribal Society

which goes from 2 to Tribe and misses out 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Relationships

which should be responsible for organising the characteristics of drives.

We are living

The emptiness of Limbic-Emotional Relationships,

Primary oral defectiveness which binds the Reptilian to the Cognitive.

We are living

Rarefied-liquid modernity in which we apply the concepts of business and

economics to an ever-greater degree

the values of possession define the being.

We are living

An emptiness in relationships caused by the theft of time

perpetrated by the media-style Super-ego,

which dictates the velocity of time outside and rarefies time inside,

defining which the Luminous Object to be followed is.

2ndPART



13/22

A Social Living Body which is travelling

towards

a reduction in 5HT (serotonin)

and

an increase in DA (dopamine)

Or rather

Depression

masked by Acceleration.

2ndPART



14/22

To make a Diagnosis, where diagnosis meansfeeling, seeing and reading the object

and sharing all of that.

Restore yourself and Restore Time,Limbic Time, The Time for the Chest,

the Time of Breathing, The for the Sentiments,

the Time of being With,

the Time for listening to yourself and the Time to listen,

to tell yourself and to tell,

for the Story and its Meaning,

for Corpo rei ty and its Meaning .

3rdPART

First Remedies for the New Emotional Plague


15/22

Restore Time to Relationships:Restore time to the Mothers... and to the Fathers,

to the Sustainability,

to open yourself up, to feel, to see.

To Set yourself and to Set Boundaries and Limits,

even the Negatively-entropic no.

Restore Intelligent Meaning to Thingsto our children and our young people

and not the objects which compensate for defective guilt.

Restore Ourselves to our children and young people.

3rdPART



16/22

Take Back the Responsibility for the Super-egoas Parents and Adults

to educate the emptiness-anger to reasonable challenge.

to challenge the young and dare to exclude to leave the instantaneous

to be born and weaned from dependencies

to the adgredior - looking at the sky beyond the scene

to repossess your own becoming

to sink roots into internal time.

And all of this together.

3rdPART



17/22

And so

Let it be known and tell,

Educate the Sentiments and teach the Emotions

to readand there is no Knowledge without Feeling and there is no Feeling

wi thout the Bod y.

(an investment in Being and not only in Having)

come out of the it's-mine, oral cage

and enter the chest breathing of the of me...

3rdPART



18/22


19/22

And then Humility.How does my body function when I am humble?

I propose that humility be considered as the Evolution of PhallicNarcissism.

The narcissist has a rigid, still, straight neck;the distinguishing trait is incised on their neck;

their evolutive time is imprisoned there,

which is that of their Object Relationships.

If our neck softens,

then the head and the heart communicate more and we may pulse,

to respective bodily positions, even to our belly, to our fertile humus,

mother, earth and to sink our roots deeply so as to draw energy back to

us and to reach great new heights,

permitting us extraordinary vertical breathing.

3rdPART



20/22

Another natural meaning of life is its

Intelligent Being.

I like to read so-called l i fe-wisdomas a negatively-entropicrecombinat ion

o f the 1000 intel l ig ences,

which are stratified and spread along the philontogenetic

history,

starting from the Intelligence of Planet Earth as a Living

Body.

3rdPART



21/22

Cognitive Intelligence comes last in the sequence of time,

it is the highest and the most acute.

But to escape from the risks of separation and isolation it should be

connected and re-connected

to the Intelligence

of the Person as a Living Body

of Society as a Living Body

of the Planet as a Living Body

to become

Destination-Intelligence.New awareness of Terrestrial Community

is the key element which may permit us to emerge from the age of

barbarism (Edgar Morin)

from the age of Emotional Plagues

(Me, today)
