What would happen if... John le Bon

JLB continues to ask the big questions.

 My comments are below...



I am a big proponent of journalling...having a conversation with myself in physical writing. As I am rereading my writings from my past 40 years, it is enlightening to say the least. I have conversations with myself...in a forgiving healing manner. I can't believe what you have been through (me). They are all attempts to
heal trauma, often forgotten episodes from the past. Similar to Howdie Mickoskie's efforts to recapitulate a life, I am interested in continuing to explore myself and my past, heal traumas, understand my prior self. JlB , you continue to ask pertinent
questions and address big issues. This is unusual and key...thank you, best regards, db

Thank you for taking the time to leave detailed comments like this. Your kind words are much appreciated. I don't keep a journal however I do have over a decade of articles and videos and podcasts to look back it, which gives me similar benefits to keeping a journal. This is one of the reasons why I'm grateful to my younger self for getting into the 'truth' scene back in the day. How often do you read back old entries in your journal? I don't even look back at old photos that often (especially this year since I've been off the drink). Your comment about past trauma is an interesting one, is it just me or is everybody speaking way more openly about trauma these days? It feels like there has been a radical shift over the past few years, or maybe I am just noticing it more. Either way, it seems to me like so many of the problems people face today go back to unresolved traumas. How many of the folks who enjoy consuming content about 'evil' or conspiracies or whatever are really just seeking external boogiemen instead of facing the man (or woman) in the mirror?

 @JohnleBonReturns  I now voyeuristically read back on my journals daily, though I am older now. I am struck by my earlier insights, my passion, and being consumed by sexual pursuit. I recently found some polaroid photos of myself playing guitar at parties I forget. I was so happy to see this aspect of myself, rebellious, unforgiving, dangerous. I pushed life to its limits, regardless of consequences.; I now believe there is substance to speaking words out loud as well as writing in longhand. It brings the unseen into this reality. It literally materializes it. This is also the significance in dream journalling which I practice. By the practice of recapitulation, I can confront the traumas of my youth, understand them, and heal them. I often look at myself in the mirror and say, "I can't believe what you have been through"...attempting to get in touch with my inner child. I want to reconnect with who i was before this whole traumatic experience. ...he is still there and I want to merge with him. best regards, db
