Condor’s Story

Condor answers eons of annoyance with a quick and vicious counterstrike of retaliation. As the lightning strikes ensue, self reflection closes down but the mind remains quick with incriminating evidence. Primal energies of destruction have adopted a conscious agent for mayhem.

The Condor is a resident of both the Savannah and the Canyon True Self Territories. Each provide added context to Condor’s story.

Savannah of Werth - Land of Dignity

The quest for Dignity requires mastering one’s passions on behalf of Courageous Love . The work takes place in the hottest places where water is scarce, conflicts abound and carnage can be expected.

Hatred Happens

Head First Into Catastrophe

Perched on nothing but air, Condor has become infinite and angelic. Rage has lifted her to this stratosphere of emptiness, scouring clouds from a blood red sky. Another draft of parched wind fills her wings and spirits her even higher, offering clarity for several lines of attack. Casting down upon her chosen prey will not be a choice but a necessity. Does a lightning bolt experience choice? These are the prime moments of combustibility when her own weaknesses appear a thousand miles away.

In this pause before the strike, her wingspan expands and transcends the limits of her puny mortal frame. She is, in this moment, a Divine Majesty, ruling over a repugnant realm that is both undeserving and cruel. What lies below awaits an atonement through violence that shall be just, severe, and consummate.

Escalator

Escalator Moods, like Indignant, operate as embedded weapons built to guarantee emotional survival. If left unconscious, they act through us as Defense Mechanisms. If acknowledged directly, they can give healthy access to the expression of our most destructive states.

Escalator Moods can also be acted out in the world as Shadow. As Shadow, they work to sabotage the normal functioning of an otherwise pleasant mood. Each Escalator Mood has a particular symbiotic relation with one other Insulator Mood.

The Indignant Condor functions as

The Shadow

to the Passionate Bat

Defense Mechanisms arise to allow incompatible Moods to coexist.
Projective Identification is the term used to describe both Projection and its countervailing mechanism called Introjection.
Differentiating between what is inside from what is outside is no easy feat. Try to inform a baby that you are a safe caretaker for them while they are feeling sick. For them, their inner “not rightness” is felt to be everywhere.
In its best form, this undifferentiated blurring of self and other is what gives adults the capacity for empathy and connectedness beyond the self. Lovers can truly read one another’s minds.
At its worst, we can distort our own unmanageable feelings by assigning them to another. This usually provokes retaliation from others which easily spirals into layers of self confirming biases.
Projection taken to its extreme lends itself to paranoia - the felt sense that the world is persecuting you for your innocence.
Introjection occurs as we project inwardly the qualities we receive from others. At its best, this lends to a capacity to embody the good we see in others. At worst, we see the mechanism by which abused victims turn themselves into abusers.

The Indignant Condor offers the unique Defense Mechanism of

Projective Identification

is the Defense Mechanism used by Condor to keep itself hidden beneath Fawn’s Benign outer presentation. This leads to a sense of Entitlement over others: when one’s negative qualities are projected onto those who feel less hopeful than you. Releasing the Fawn/Condor Combo from the many layers of entitlement at play requires a willingness to overcome projection and engage in honest self inquiry.
