When you feel a psychic pain triggered by something in the external world, you have simply had a light shone into an ignored and repressed wound within you.

It is tempting to lash out at the external trigger and blame it, but it keeps you enslaved to your pain.
When you let yourself feel the wound, you free yourself. The pain dissipates and turns into clarity, and the trigger appears beautiful like a flower after a storm.

I must have an ignored and repressed wound somewhere, triggered by the insane COVID hysteria. Been a year and a half now and l’m not even close to figuring it out. Seriously, any suggestions? Always appreciate your help and kindness!

Or to put it another way: is it possible for someone (me) to harbor a deep, repressed, irrational fear of insanity… or am l just crazy?

My friend, I have been puzzling with the same thing so much.
That is a very natural reaction. What I was referring to with this tweet was a more individualistic thing; personal attachments to things that cause internal discomfort without an apparent ‘correlation’...
Feeling horrible when witnessing an unfolding mass psychosis is absolutely not a ‘personal attachment’, but a sign you haven’t fallen for it.
You are not crazy—if you were, you wouldn’t be able to entertain the possibility of it.
