Hibernation to process feelings is an inexorable part of the transformative process. During the time when it is in the chrysalis, it looks like nothing is happening. “Darkness” has come to mean “bad” or “evil,” when George is positing that a better word would be “misunderstood.”įor example: a caterpillar instinctively becomes a butterfly. Maiden to Mother to Crone to the void to Maiden. This process of transformation is also represented in the Tarot by the Death trump card, which signifies the transition from death to rebirth. I’ve been reading this book by Demetra George called “ Mysteries of the Dark Moon,” which is all about how we have erased or demonized the ancient goddesses of “darkness” (like Hecate, Kali, etc.) embodied in the three-day period of moonless night after the waning moon and before the new moon. You come out on the other side a different person. It would be weird if you WEREN’T upset or sad. Her point is that when something happens, like a breakup or a death in the family or loss of a job – it’s OKAY to feel feelings you guys. In general, the self-help genre seems to be all about learning to overcome and master negative emotions so that you can be happy.īut then… we also have self-help gurus like Marianne Williamson who, in her book “ Tears to Triumph,” argues that our culture is hell-bent on trying to avoid pain, when sometimes, we need to experience pain to grow. That’s the whole game.īut conversely, even those who seek Eastern-inspired modes of spirituality, focused on mindfulness meditation, fluidity and the relinquishment of control, are after an escape, it seems (I’m not trying to offend anyone – I might totally have it twisted, but I’m trying to work it out in my own head right now). Capitalism has us chasing happiness through goods and services we buy. If you think about it, that’s also Brené Brown‘s message, when she explains that people who are happiest are those who show up every day most “wholeheartedly” – willing to accept all parts of themselves and be vulnerable without shame.Įveryone is trying to be happy. I actually just read a Quartz article about this yesterday, which framed it in more laymen’s terms and didn’t mention Jung or anything: This idea is especially timely in our current culture, where happiness is currency. It is only when we accept them and integrate them into our Self that we can be whole. The Jungian school of thought says to embrace your shadow side – or your dark feelings. If you hang on to emotions or repress them, pretending they don’t exist, they can poison you from the inside and manifest as depression or like, rage blackouts.īut if you “express” them in the moment, you might act in a way that you’ll regret later. Or should I accept them and express them, and watch them dissipate? Not to kick a man when he's down (too soon?) but it's is a very important lesson: don't hit Jack Black with a burrito.When I feel feelings, should I remain detached, mindfully examine them, and act from a place of higher understanding? Sorry, Baxter, but Ron kind of had it coming. If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10. Who/Anchorman mash-up you never knew you needed.

You've heard this quote whenever someone is upset for any reason-whether it's because their favorite TV character got killed off or because they made the mistake of seeing Anchorman 2. When Fantana asks where Ron is, he wails, "I'm in a glass case of emotion!" which is a fairly accurate description of the contraption and mental state he's in. Overwhelmed by emotion, Burgundy uses a pay phone to call his friend Brian Fantana (everyone's favorite person, Paul Rudd), but he can't make any coherent noises because of all the wailing. In retaliation, the biker kicks Burgundy's dog, Baxter, off a bridge. When Ron Burgundy chucks a burrito out his car window and hits a motorcyclist (Jack Black), he doesn't know what he's in for.
This line is spoken by Ron Burgundy, played by Will Ferrell, in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, directed by Adam McKay (2004).
