It seeks outlet and must find it, and must find it a manner that satisfies the creative abilities. The excitement need not be physical, though it will find some reflection in physical terms. He has enormous energy at his disposal, a large portion of which has been misdirected in the form of symptoms, and partially out of resentment.

This energy is, of course, related strongly with his work. the relation is far more powerful than any strictly logical connection could ever be. The release of the energy in other directions automatically minimizes the symptoms, and will automatically negate them. They must, therefore, be used in exciting creative ways having to do with his intuitions, intellect, and creative work.

The stimuli that can be used to absorb some of the misdirected energy in the day is no longer available. The self shows its true face. When the intuitions are allowed freedom you see they therapeutically aid the personality in sleep and refresh it. The more energy that is used on Ruburt’s part in exciting creative ways, the more is available, you see, for therapeutic purposes. The symptoms are denied energy and cannot survive.

The second island-spirit says, also to the third: “You are myself, only my excitement, my joy and beauty, are concentrated in the magic of my volcano, and you instead stand for the twittering excitement of diverse species — birds and animals and insects — that flow in far less grandiose fashion across the slopes of your uneasy land.”

“Life as we know it is excitement; highly organized—excitement at all levels, microscopic, macroscopic, psychic. It is the result of the relationship between balance and imbalance, between organization and ‘chaos.’ It is excitement ever in a state of flux, forming psychic and material knots. [...] The psyche itself leapfrogs our beliefs at usual conscious levels, and sees us as a part of all life, excitedly forming all kinds of complexes which then fill themselves to the brim, exploding, escaping the framework only to form another. The emotions themselves can sense this when we let them, and grasping that sense of excitement can show us a glimpse of the even greater freedom of our own psychic existence, which flows into us as individuals and then bursts apart that short-lived form into another, as the excitement of individuation leaps from life to life.”
