The Dark Side of “Help” and Inner Gold

In the last five years, a large percentage of the population has needed a hand. Catastrophes, COVID-19, Families separated by our government – we or someone we know has asked for assistance.

The trials that lead to this kind of situation can be cyclical in nature, once people get pulled into them, they cannot get out – not without time, help, or change. Change from the society and how it perceives the moments of lack as weakness of character, from the very people in it, from incapable to resourceful. Ultimately, we must begin to see the labyrinth each of us is in, in our psyche: one which requires us to face that which we most fear and defeat it before finding our way out of The Labyrinth again.

There is a myth or two out there that calls for the Hero, it asks us all to be Theseus; there is much value in that – seeing our challenges as stepping stones towards the big battle, then killing the monster...There is another way of approaching the beast, and that is one of curiosity, comradery, community, and friendship.

If at the center of all of us is a monster, it would behoove us to understand that monster, befriend it, learn from it, and integrate it in a way that alchemizes our greatest fears into our greatest asset: Psychological gold.

A person who can access their psychological gold navigates this world with a generative, community-oriented mindset that prizes the wins of every individual. Sound improbable? Look around, look carefully, individuated people are all around us.
