6. Death, Rebirth and Collapse: In Between Worlds Part II
Where I talk hitting rock bottom from addiction & finally computing the clear fact that I was totally wrong about everything. Crash & subsequent rebirth. The parallel with our civilization and its possible collapse, the hope I see in my story, and in these paintings. And Carl Jung, the survival of humanity, shadow & projection … and all that good stuff.

Jung & The Survival of Humanity: Carl Jung believed that the survival of humanity depends on withdrawing the projection of the shadow, rather than continuing to project it onto others. He argued that because people repress their own dark, shameful, or unacceptable traits, they unconsciously project this "shadow" onto other individuals, groups, or nations, dehumanizing them and leading to conflict, war, and social disintegration.
