Another thought.
If it is true about the life cycle of creativity from inspired to inspiration inducing, and our Daimon is an “inner other”.
Then human purpose is to be biome and ovipositor; merely the home and reproductive organs, of the androdgyne Daimon inside us all.
And the “BIOS” master program of the Daimon, is the gods. i.e.:
Crewman Ego is concerned with doing a good job and staying alive. Pilot Daimon is concerned with outside influences while steering the boat, Navigator gods are the only ones who actually know where we are going, and how best to get there from here, based on various principles: navigation, meterology, understanding and using maps, sextant, depthsounder, radar, etc. Micro, Macro, Mega, Titan. Man, Daimon, Gods, Fates
-We are the biome of “our” e. Coli.
-mDNA live independantly of our cells neucleus, but we need them.
-Figs are only fertilized by a Fig Wasp, who in turn need Fig trees to incubate their offspring.

Is this a valid rational assumption in expanding co-dependence; or did my compass stop pointing North?

I did not plan on being “a” Copernicas or Darwin; but if the Human ego needs another whack, shortening its pedistal; then I gladly provide the impliment for its enlittlement. “My daimon told me to do it”.

Dear Mr. CARDIN, et al:

“Midwifery”, and “I am doomed to an anonymity of being ten typing fingers”.

I/”I”? just had “an involuntary thought/realization”, added from another of your pages on hibernation, or writers block…

Its not writers block, its that our Daimon is, pregnant.
Okay, here goes…
1. Our experiences and encounters in the world/Universe around us, “impregnate” our Daimon.
2. While I-self is “stuck”, the Daimon is “pregnant”.
3. Eventually, “our Daimon creates”; gives birth.
4. “Ego edits”; raising the new “life” to maturity until it can go out into the world on its own, to then impregnate other people’s Daimons. which is then step one again; other Daimons, through their human, impregnate our Daimon. The cycle of life continues round and round again.

In other thoughts…

-Do I have a Daimon, or does my Daimon have a mairionette, who thinks is a human? Or,
-Do we “marry” our Daimon, or work for a Monarch?
We can either be happy by being aware of our Daimon, with eventual induced eudaimonia, or we can ignore our Daimon, and live “short, nasty, barbaric lives”.
-So, is Free Will a farce?

Thank you. The gravitational force that is this blog is providing to be maddening, joyously thought provoking experience.
-Mr. Ben RUDOLPH

Great to hear that this has all resonated with you — and your daemon — Brian. A brief perusal of the online material about your Hero’s Journey workshops and other such things adds some serious weight to what you’re saying here. Congratulations on having entered in such a rich inner relationship with your other/deeper/higher self.

happened upon your site by chance (or the Daemon) and I love it. it has truly brought me in from the cold. I also read The Souls Code by Hillman and was much inspired and awakened by it. I had spent several years involved with the Adult Child movement, John Bradshaw etc, and whilst the work initially helped it also was very rest restricting, forever blaming mum and dad. Once I got Hillmans point about the Deamon, I was not only released from the ghosts of the past but I also moved from victim to visionary. What a concept! Our Daemon placed us in that family to mold and shape us for the meaning and purpose of our lives; our Calling. Wow! Get out of my way Dr. Freud, I’m off to save the world! (Written 3 books since then with 3 more on the way, and guess who wrote them? Not I. Brian O’Raleigh

Thanks so much for the comment and reinforcement, Tony. I'm currently reading -- and savoring -- your The Daemon: A Guide to Your Extraordinary Self, and am likewise noticing the striking synergy of our respective pursuits. Thank you, too, for the YouTube link. In the near future I'll highlight those videos for my readers in a separate post.

Matt,
The synergy between what you are discussing here and the central theme of my own writing is stunning. As you are aware I amd developing a theory which I term The Daemon-Eidolon Dyad. In this I present strong scientific evidence (neurological and psychological) for the things you have discussed in your postings.

In my opinion you are doing an excellent job in presenting the idea that creativity is generated by another locus of awareness within the brain. I call this “The Daemon”.

I have already referenced your excellent site here on my own FORUM. I am hoping for some interesting cross-fertilisation of ideas and that some of my FORUM folk may post their observations and comments on here.

If you are interested you may be interested to know that I have a series of lectures on YouTube that discuss in some detail the ideas presented in my book “The Daemon- A Guide To Your Extraordinary Secret Self”. This can be found at:
