hmm what’s the abyss? if it’s the inner abyss feel like that’s already the demons zip code

Good point. Maybe it’s the difference between pushing something down (punishing, crushing, hiding) and letting it go out and away to nowhere. Perhaps out a window.

hmm so without necessarily integrating it? curious how this would work. have you experienced this?

The crushing I’m referring to is very unpleasant and unhealthy. The sending out and away might be best described as letting the traces blow away after any necessary integration is done
I might be using inaccurate terms though. I’m not well-read on this.

More fun to make sense of it with your own terms than reading a book about it!!
And agree that the crushing is unhealthy and unpleasant... now I’m curious if I someday experience the demon defenestration / blowing away of its traces

Burning stuff isn't clean. It gets ashes and smoke everywhere. But then it blows away.
Point being: it, too, is unpleasant, but healthy, like throwing up from food poisoning.

yes, I feel like this is an accurate metaphor for that particular experience
