If you “go deeply within,” what you find are wish-fulfillment fantasies. I don’t know anyone who found anything more there.
@St_Rev Hmm, at risk of quibbling, I suspect that is not “going deeply within” in the relevant sense.

@Meaningness As I said on Tumblr, this kind of thing may be at the root of 'headmate' culture. It happens, modern culture doesn't handle it. -
@St_Rev Yes; I have personal experience with that, and it can be productive. Not what I meant to diss. (Although it has own dangers.) - 11 more replies

@Meaningness Not sure what 'going deeply within' means for you. Certain actions are taken, certain results arise. -
@St_Rev It encourages cutting yourself off from the real world and indulging in metaphysical fantasies, which generally has bad results. - 3 more replies
