The act of writing the poem at this time, regardless of the poem’s message, you see, represents a willingness to allow the spontaneous self expression. The message itself then doubly reinforces the suggestion. Even the emotion in the first portion, spontaneously expressed and creatively formed into art, is a good indication.

Such images are constructed of emotional energy, but they also are partially formed from the chemical structure of the individual or individuals behind such productions. The physical body then must work overtime. The impetus is emotional, and the pseudoframework is formed of emotional energy, but the image itself must be built up in part of physical components, and these must come from somewhere.

The emotional charge provides the pattern, and the impetus for creation, and in the York Beach affair and like situations, it provides for the actual projection or externalization itself. According to the physical validity or the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator then lends, or transposes or transfers, portions of its own chemical structure. Proteins are used, and there is a high carbohydrate loss on the part of the originator.

Again, the body is overworking. Here particular emotions are dissociated, denied. The individual does not want to accept them as a portion of himself. Instead of projecting them outward, as you did into such images, they are directed to a specific area in the body; or in other cases allowed to wander, so to speak, traveling troublemakers, through the entire physical system.

When the offending emotion is recognized as a part of the self it can then be rather harmlessly dispensed with. It takes its place along with other personality traits. It gains its power and strength only when it is forcibly isolated, for it then cannot merge with the normal ebb and flow of subjective activity.

You used your own bodily reserves to produce the images. You faced the bitterness head on, and saw it objectified. You then for the first time, completely accepted it as a portion of yourself. At this point it returned to you, and lost its explosive, isolated importance. It became merely an emotion among others.

Now. The reason for his unrest yesterday and today is simple. A reaction. He was afraid that his spontaneous self had been swallowed in our sessions. The emotional reaction was rather natural, since our last session touched on some deep points.
