This article reveals that the elite, who dominate our planet, have a preference for broken people over sovereign individuals. And that society has been designed to isolate and destroy all people, who dare to embrace their individuality.
The Bloch sphere emerged from quantum mechanics of spin-1/2 particles (two-level systems like qubits or nuclear spins) in magnetic fields, generalizing classical spin precession to quantum superpositions.
Jung’s use of the terms “unconscious projections” and “exteriorisations” aligned with his developing theory of autonomous complexes, he said that these were psychological contents that can manifest with apparent independence from conscious control.
Authenticity, I suggest, is a continuum, a spectrum of stages, that may never end, since the self is a largely unknown thing, and that exploration of self, if done with regular determination, is always going to be revealing “new stuff”.
Jung developed his theory of autonomous complexes in 1908, through word association experiments at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. By measuring subjects’ reaction times to stimulus words and noting hesitations, slips, and emotional reactions, Jung discovered patterns suggesting emotionally-charged “hot spots” in the unconscious.
Almost all children suffer a sustained and often targeted string of traumatic micro, and macro-aggressions, from the moment they are born.
