understand Freud's Oedipus complex, one needs to understand the meaning of Greek mythology, and so does mind reading. Today I watched the movie "The Battle of the Gods", which was adapted from the Greek mythology. It is about a scourge left before the birth of human beings and the gods: lost wisdom, lost self and divided into three realms: the realm of the gods, the realm of humans and the Underworld. The gods are in charge of the three realms, the underworld is in charge of death and hatred, and human beings are torn between creeping in the gods, fearing the underworld and how to behave. If it corresponds to people, it can be roughly classified as follows: the realm of the gods is the spiritual world of people, and the realm of human beings is suddenly a god-wisdom is always alive, and suddenly a human-six desires are rampant, and then a demon-an impermanent state of destruction and killing , while the underworld is the breeding ground of the human death instinct, or the source of the inherent evil, storing all the darkness of hatred, destruction, fear and so on since the beginning of life.
Zeus,
the king of the gods, is the supreme god of ancient Greek mythology, the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea. With the support of his mother Rhea, he killed his father Cronus and became the third generation of God King. The character is extremely lecherous, often carrying his wife Hera behind his back and having private meetings with other goddesses and mortals, giving birth to countless illegitimate children.
This supreme god "killed his father Cronus with the support of his mother and became the third generation king of gods". I don't know if this is an example of "killing his father and marrying his mother", but he just saw him "killing his father" He didn't see him "marrying his mother", maybe he couldn't complete the true fusion with his mother and chose to have private meetings with other goddesses and mortals, projecting his selfish desire for his mother - Freud would say sexual desire - onto other women . This is of course an unstable sexual relationship, an unstable intimate relationship, because he is worried that the tragedy of his mother inciting him to kill his father will repeat itself in himself - in case the woman who is better off with him also instigates his son to kill him... think about it He will feel fear, he dares to kill his father, who dares to say that his son will not do this? Perhaps Freud's letter to Adler before he died that he "suffered from Oedipus" was quite Zeus's fear. Zeus did not dare to maintain a long-term and stable relationship with any woman, and the charm of a woman as a mother, the courage to compete with men, and the courage to kill, make Zeus admire and admire, and fear that retribution will be on him. , but that fear followed closely, never leaving, and this uncontrollable fear would activate Zeus' curiosity and competition to see what it was and who it was for, so he repeatedly lingered among different women. , of course, they also have children, which seems to be constantly verifying—or in other words, verifying the projective identity of the “little turtle”—waiting for the birth of the son who killed himself, but in Zeus, it was not a projective identity, but a projective identity. Sexual identity and introjective identity exist and occur simultaneously.
This Zeus has the wisdom and light to protect human beings and transform the darkness, but he is also lost because of desires and becomes an obsessive, self-righteous little cleverness and is used by the darkness. Moreover, this incomplete light and wisdom are born with a brother who follows him— Represents Hades, the dark king of the underworld. Just as the three ΟΟ sutras of the "Miscellaneous Ahan Sutra" say: "This exists, so there is, and this arises, so that arises." Light and darkness exist at the same time and go hand in hand.
Hades
In this film, Zeus is calculated by his brother Hades, who was thrown into the underworld. First, he was deceived by his own vanity—thinking that human beings need his kindness and love. God knew it was Zeus who needed human love. Hades took advantage of Zeus' need for human love and kindness to human beings to create and exploit the conflict between humans and Zeus - he chose Argos, using the Argos king Callipos's Resist to provoke Zeus to give punishment - release the Kraken North Sea monster that he has raised to punish humans, and use this punishment to destroy Zeus's divine power to satisfy his conspiracy to become the new overlord.
This conspiracy succeeded because the king of Argos, Callipus, dissatisfied with the rule and punishment of the gods, led his soldiers against the rule of the gods - like a three-year-old child against his father - and angered him by tearing down the statue of Zeus and destroying it. Zeus, the lecherous Zeus did not punish the people of the whole country of Argos, but chose to humiliate Kalibos - transforming into Kalibus and having sex with his wife. Enraged, Kalibos threw the princess and the child into the sea to protest and punish Zeus, but his protest and anger turned him into a monster, the monster became Hades, the king of the underworld, to destroy mankind. , against Zeus' killer - a monster controlled by hatred. The monster vanished with the power of darkness because he was killed - fear and darkness ended when he died, and the ending called "Return to the Light" or "When a Man Dies, His Words Are Good" still gave him a moment of sobriety —The last word he left to the world was "Don't be like them (the capricious gods)" to Perseus, which was a relief.
Hades, as the leader of the underworld, stores all the dark energy in human unconsciousness: death, fear, hatred, conspiracy, struggle and destruction. It is located at the bottom and the sky of human beings respectively with light and wisdom. The earth wants to destroy the light and wisdom to occupy the space of human hearts, to use human fears to rule human beings, and to take advantage of human dissatisfaction with the gods to try to rule the gods.
Zeus and Hades, one represents light and the other represents darkness, and they appear in human life at any time. Either light wisdom guides, or darkness erodes, and what to have is entirely up to human choice, because darkness cannot be destroyed, it is with the light. Like Freud's personality structure: superego, ego and id, who has the final say depends on the strength of the ego's function.
Perseus
Perseus is the result of Zeus to punish Argos Cali king of Persia sex with the princess and become a demigod god and mankind with blood - he was born in anger and punishment, we will not resist this Bright history. He has experienced the process of being abandoned, rescued, adopted, and the pain of being deprived of his loved ones by darkness. Although he has the power of a god, he can't change the tragic fate of his adoptive parents and sister who were taken away by Hades, the Hades, until he fully recognizes his identity as a demigod. As adopted by humans and possessing human blood, Perseus, after experiencing the pain of losing his relatives, witnessed the dangerous moment when humans were punished by Hades and was about to turn into hell, and assumed the "savior" who saved the destiny of mankind. Lead a group of brave men to hell and defeat Hades before he turns the world of men into hell.
In the early days, Perseus was ashamed of his demigod bloodline—in fact, he was ashamed of his identity born as a tool of punishment, and grieved and stubbornly used his human identity to fight, resulting in casualties among his companions, and he almost lost own life. When his life was at stake - he was almost killed by Kalibos, who turned into a monster because of hatred, he accepted his identity as a demigod - by accepting the sword of light given by his father, he killed Hades, the king of the underworld. —Actually, it was Kalibos, who was controlled by arrogance, confrontation, anger, hatred and shame, who completely punished him with his identity as a god, ended Zeus' unjust punishment on him, and ended Hades, the king of darkness control over him.
Killing monsters - being controlled by anger and hatred will make a person lose the ability to possess intelligence and become a monster - Before Kalibos, Perseus went through several wars:
as a human against the scorpion, to the leader of the wood goblin Sheikh Suleiman (Sheikh Suleiman) cooperated to defeat the poisonous scorpion, reminding human beings not to be self-righteous and reject the mysterious power from nature. Reconciliation and cooperation are the way out for victory and development.
Accept Zeus's gold coins to buy the underworld river god - the Minister of Transportation, money can make ghosts work in the West. In the dark places, human beings do not have to pretend to be noble, and "passable" is the truth, rather than being kidnapped by "purity", "noble" or "correct".
The strangulation of Medusa is a crucial part of the story, and the difficulty lies in the fact that no one or god can escape Medusa's gaze: an attacking gaze with jealousy, curse, and anger. This beautiful goddess who doesn't know who she is for is cursed for failing to compete with Athena. Jealousy, hatred and anger have turned her hair into creeping snakes - God knows how much anger and aggression she has stored, and the pair The eyes that are enough to turn a man into a stone project her hatred of men and jealousy of women's beauty. Maybe turning a man into a stone will not make her tempted to fight for favor and beauty. Let your desires be put into action. Of course, the message in the film that Medusa cannot hurt women through Aoi's mouth seems to imply that she still retains her identity as a woman and is unconsciously protected - through Athena's curse of not letting it hurt women. Of course, it also canceled her ability to hurt the goddess Athena. To strangle her, Perseus borrowed the reflection of the armor - like a mirror image, saw the figure projected by Medusa, and used the figure to kill the original body, huh, the projection is where the real body is. And to do this, Perseus accepted the guidance of Io-the inhuman, non-divine female-like energy body that is closely related to his life mission. What does she imply?
In Greek mythology, Aio was chased by the gods because he was loved by Zeus—whether to compete with Zeus for women or to test his charm? Or compete for the throne of the gods by competing for women? Or by forcing Zeus to give up his love to balance his shame that he can't be favored by the goddess? Or the state of non-self, which is not a god or a human being, has no position and no self, which makes the gods even more afraid - if it is, the gods are just human incarnations, always trying to grab something.
Aio was not caught by the gods. She escaped under the guidance of Prometheus, the synonym of wisdom and the archetypal image of the wise old man in Jungian psychology, and eventually became the Egyptian goddess Isis. Aio in the movie guides Perseus on his journey and clears away demons. She is neither human nor god, perhaps in a state of no-self. She does whatever she wants and does what she wants. Because she is neither human nor god, neither you nor me, she can die or be born. When you have no desires, she will Appearing in your life - when Perseus wisely and bravely chose to surrender in order to consolidate the good rule of Princess Andromeda, Aio rose from the dead - by the will of Zeus, the king of the gods. way, the gods heed the call of no-mind and no-self.
The final battle in the film is when Perseus rode his Pegasus to the Kraken, the sea monster, and used the eyes on Medusa's head to kill the dark force raised by Hades. of polymers. Whether in the world of light or the world of darkness, the pursuit of women's lust seems to be an indispensable part of the content. The precepts that Buddhism calls "prostitution" are life-and-death for all beings in the six realms - the greed and debauchery of the gods, the greed and debauchery of human beings, The underworld is more greedy and depraved, and the envy of women is everywhere—projection is everywhere.
The battle of the gods in the film is like the war in the human heart: in the light - in the consciousness, various thoughts, thoughts and feelings compete for territory, because human beings cannot "allow" - there is no space for these energies to exist at the same time, it is human beings who created it. The struggle between these inner thoughts, thoughts, and emotions, because you don't allow them to settle their own destiny, it is all the more important to fight for the space and opportunity to be "seen" by that false self, which is supported by fear and Nothingness is divided by this complex called "self" and is artificially separated, destroying this non-existent "self", and returning to the state of no-self - Buddhists call it emptiness, and everything is at peace.
Darkness—individual unconsciousness or collective unconsciousness, whether it is the repressed trauma or the energy in the collective unconsciousness, all act according to their own needs in the depths of human unconsciousness, striving for the light—being "seen" by "self" or without self is The basic primitive needs of this energy group, so fighting against repression and waiting for an opportunity to squeeze out of the dark hell is their goal of "real life", they are just striving for an equality with the light.
How human beings treat their own consciousness and unconsciousness equally is the only way to eliminate wars and conflicts—whether in reality or in their hearts.
