Cracked Eggs and Psychosynthesis

I'd like to share a little something I found on Twitter today.  @AncientProverbs posted this profound, ancient Chinese proverb: "Flies never visit an egg that has no crack."

Cool beans!

I don't really know what it meant to the ancient Chinese, but I can tell you what it means to me. You may have noticed that I have a profile picture on my Twitter feed (@InnerLarry) at last. No, it's not me, as I'm still waiting for the bruising and swelling from my face lift to go down.

It is, however, the psychosynthesis egg diagram, revealing all the states of our consciousness and where they would be located within us if we were eggs.

Psychosynthesis, developed by the Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli, formulated the concept of "Superconsciousness" in which we aspire to the sublime. And suppressing these impulses to aspire is even more dangerous to ourselves than repressing our other, more animalistic urges. I don't pretend to be a psychiatrist, but I am a superman when it comes to repression!

Which is why I explained to my (former) wife that I had to remain celibate as I sought my best, sublime life.

"What are you talking about? Roberto Assagioli wasn't celibate! And he invented this stuff," she said.

Okay, she's good with Google, I'll grant my ex-wife that, but she missed the point entirely.

Because I'm not Roberto Assagioli. I'm Larry, and I'm all about finding my Inner Larry, which is also like finding my Superconsciousness.

I'll explain more about Finding Your Inner Larry in the days and months and years to come. But for today, I wanted to introduce you to the concept of eggs, superconsciousness and cracking.

Daily Affirmation: An uncracked egg doesn't attract flies. But you can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. Thankfully the Universe provides an answer to this conundrum: Eat that omelette while it's hot and fresh and before the flies can get it.
