It seemed that most self-help was an attemptto cope better and to be more, do more, havemore and create more in a feeble attempt at“happiness.”So what do I do???It wasn’t until after years of therapy that Irealized that peoples’ images were attemptsto not know, overcompensate for or to defendagainst the emptiness. I guess we all imaginedthat the pain of that discovery would blowopenour ongoing hidden fear of being empty.23
The dreamWithinTheDreamIIIThey are playing a game.They are playing at not playing a game.If I show them I see they are, (playing a game,)I shall break the rules and they will punish me.I must play their game, of not seeing I see thegame.Knots by R.D. LangeEvery once in a while I would suggest to myfriends that everything was bullshit and thatlife was a game –I had concluded R.D. Lange was right.People didn’t seem to like considering it allwas a game and so I was stuck in a existentialpsycho-emotional paralysis.Stuck somehow between the inner emptinessand an outer world which did not want to know24
