Poem For Psychoanalysis

Artwork: By Ana Lúcia Senise

An anguished look reflects the state of those who see themselves disintegrating. Faced with the anguish of freedom and the need to overcome oneself, it becomes essential for some to deconstruct their old supports: Blocks, dull patterns and resistances are broken and finally cease to torment like super-egoic walls that prevent authentic free association.

The mirror is also broken, what we imagined to be will have a new reflection, no more rumination.

From this fiery revolution, one is reborn from the ashes, the old perspective has been shattered and it becomes essential to structure new orientations. How to be now?

Somehow the revolution leaves its traces.

The smoke that hovers and spreads announces a fire, announces light somewhere illuminating the darkness and broadening perception.

There is a process of combustion in those who fight, combustion that generates energy.

Not giving up on dreams and fantasies, as well as ideals, ends up inspiring others, endearing the environment, just like music.

Echoes of indignation, manifestation and proclamation resound in the form of the newest speeches and songs.

The very revolution that allowed an identity to emerge, a singularity whose new face was only possible due to the contagion and influence it received from other spirits in transformation.

Revolution occurs when the contact with the external, with the significant other, is such that it bursts into the internal, inviting it to dance.

Every revolution is a form of love; be it for life, for someone or for an ideology; a love for an object with which we come to identify.

Revolution:

Is the materialisation of the motivation that moves us towards transcendence,

It's action, the putting into practice of ideals and dreams, the quest to materialise the ideal of the Self;

It is what allows us to transcend beyond good and evil, beyond mere rules contextualised in a certain time and space, in the name of moving towards ethics and the ultimate truth, whatever that may be.

A person is an art in eternal construction, poetically inhabiting the world, a malleable being who expresses, inspires, moves, disturbs and revolutionises in the most diverse ways through one's ontological and existential expressions.
