Propelled by the feeling of Indifference
Detachment
a defense against
-
We detach when we render difficult experiences inaccessible, fragmenting reality to achieve a state of protective indifference. Similar to a babe “zoning out” when frightened, detaching creates a temporary, protective break in the continuity of the self. This proactive skill allows one to detach when an interaction becomes overwhelmingly upsetting, in order to achieve a state of emotional numbing. Over time one can arrive at states of intense congruence with one’s numbness. This can lead to feelings of disconnection from one's own identity and a trouble in establishing emotional presence and healthy interpersonal bonds.
So I must sever from my own unbearable sensations.
As adults we Detach as a means to experience internal Attunement
-
There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, Detachment combines with four co-conspirators that help to shape one’s identity and life experience. Developed in early childhood, they continue to operate as a basic temperamental style throughout adulthood. Here we see Detachment as it combines with its four common partners: containment, projection, withdrawal, and disavowal.

Seeking Benevolence while Detaching from and Containing my feelings

Defense Structures dissolve over time, allowing attention to turn to the Dark Waves ripples that have been occurring in their wake. Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality; sometimes making their presence known in our sexual disinhibitions, more often in the acts of people we only know as Doppelgangers - the deplorable “Others” we struggle to keep at the periphery of our lives.
As we gain a more personal relationship to the entities which enliven Dark Wave energies, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.

Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of those with Borderline tendencies in your world? Might you recognize in its appearance, a doppelgänger to your own unresolved actualization of Devotion?
Open to the sensations of this uncontrollable polarizing instinct, suffering to keep all negativity at bay.
Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of ABANDONMENT in your world?
A state of detachment and denial of one’s feelings can block reality and summon the Dark Wave entity witnessed in the
La Llorona

Sanguine
Both the Splitter (La Llorona) and Disenchanted (Ginnungagap) suffer the cutting of their ties to existence.

Focus on the call of these Pipers in you.
They point you toward non-dominant aspects of your True Self.
What would you be willing to learn and actualize from your own Devotion and Vitality?
To call upon Devotion and Vitality to meet
La Lorona and Ginnungagap energies,
first set aside the impulse to detach from feelings of Deficiency and Depression.
In the pause of that quiet moment, turn there to the presence of these two Pipers at the Gates of Dawn.
These tend specifically to the fragmentation and grief ridden isolation of the Splitter (La Lorona) and the cynical nihilism of the Disenchanted (Ginnungagap).
