It feels utterly surreal. I have spent a few days reflecting on this achievement, and searching for the right words to express my gratitude. But words alone feel insufficient. I’m deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you. Thank you.
Nevertheless, I would like to share with you a brief overview of how Eternalised started, my journey and some of my reflections over the past five years.
When we are able to translate emotions into images—that is to say, to find the images which are concealed in the emotions—we are inwardly calmed and reassured. However, if we leave those images hidden in the emotions, we might be torn to pieces by them. When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. If we do not gain control over the images within us, we run the risk of them gaining control over us.
Most people live their complexes as if they were reality. They are simple their parent's son, employee, husband, wife, disciple, etc. If we are to embark on the journey towards consciousness, we must break free from these identifications, and few of us really do. For many, the psychological nature is as yet unborn. Each of us is born into a particular family and culture, shaped by a typological bias, and we quickly learn that failing to meet the expectations and demands of others can lead to serious consequences. In a way, unless we are fortunate enough to be born into a family that aligns well with our natural type, we all make a Faustian bargain in childhood—trading our true, innate nature for power, knowledge and material gain, and we pay an enormous price for that later on in life.
Psychological types have to do with discovering one’s own unique orientation—something that can only emerge after sufficient disorientation. It is not merely a framework for casually labelling others from the outside; to do so would entirely miss its true purpose.
Psychological types make sense of the way one follows one’s individuation process, but it does not account for the many distortions of type that arise from substituting other functions to satisfy or defend against the type demand of an environment that hinders individuation. One may appear to be very successful on the outside, but in reality, suffer from inner fragmentation. The persona or social mask, a collective way of playing a role in the world, may have nothing to do with one’s true nature.

The first day of the new year is psychologically significant. It is a kind of rebirth, or renewal, a new beginning. Like the phoenix rising back from the ashes. The new year’s resolution is our attempt to come in contact with this symbol.
If we don’t accept our own destiny, a different kind of suffering takes its place: a neurosis develops, and I believe that that life which we have to live is not as bad as a neurosis. If I have to suffer, then let it be from my reality.
One cannot do more than live what one really is. Today I can say: I have been true to myself, I have done what I could to the best of my knowledge and conscience. Whether it was right or not, I cannot say. Suffering was inevitable in any case. But I want to suffer for those things which really belong to me.
I have seen the fate of those who have not lived their own lives, and it is simply horrible. People who live out their destiny and fulfill it to the best of their knowledge and abilities have no reason for regret.
Only here, in life on earth, where the opposites clash together, can the general level of consciousness be raised. That seems to be man’s metaphysical task.
