Catharsis vs. Cathexis
'Catharsis' means 'to get rid of' or 'to disperse'.
In the early 1970s, Arthur Janov introduced Primal Therapy as a cathartic process for re-experiencing childhood pain through feeling it rather than through conceptual analysis. The central practice was Primal Screams.
Around the same time, a man named Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh (later known as Osho), began promoting 'Dynamic Meditation', an emotionally cathartic practice that became very popular with Westerners.
For several decades, the long-held concept that there are 'negative' or 'bad' feelings such as anger, sadness, and fear, and only one 'positive' or 'good' feeling, which is joy, was combined with Primal Scream and Dynamic Meditation and for a time became a movement in the personal development world, leaving ripples that still influence people's thinking today.
However, simply because a concept can be easily understood does not mean it has any relationship to reality.
The assumption that the human Emotional Body's immense capacity for feeling Feelings, Emotions and Mixed Emotions is a design error may be a false assumption.
In the beginning practices and exercises of Possibility Management, we make no assumption that the Emotional Body is a design error. This allowed us to discovers that developing our capacity to Consciously Feel is the gateway to whole new territories of possibility, such as: Emotional Healing Processes, Inner Navigation, Whole Permaculture, Torus Technologies, New Refugees, 3 Phase Healing, Stellating Feelings Archetypes, Feelings Practitioner Training, authentic Adulthood Initiatory processes, and Archetypal Transformations.
Distinguishing the immense differences between Feelings and Emotions, and embracing feelings energies and information as a valuable resource of energy and clarity needed daily in Adulthood, starts with reorienting away from Catharsis and towards 'Cathexis'.
'Cathexis' means 'to contain, recycle, re-aim, and consciously apply', in this case, Emotional Energies.
The instructions are, "Hold the emotional energy in and let it inform you. Do not allow your Gremlin to throw it away. Let emotional energy and information circulate around in all 5 Bodies. Use this energy to build new Matrix, make Choices, Flow Power, make Proposals, Hold Space, Navigate Space, take Radical Responsibility, Go Nonlinear," etc.
We discovered that Feelings and Emotions are not design errors from Gaia, but rather are precious resources of energy and information needed for fulfilling your Destiny and delivering the services of your Archetypal Lineage to the Village.
Specifically, "Feelings are for handling things. Emotions are for healing things."
A Transformational Process is Cathexis
Emotional Healing Processes delivered in the context of Possibility Coaching, using the distinctions of Possibility Management that emerges from Radical Responsibility use the process of Cathexis and NOT of Catharsis.
Feelings are for handling things. Emotions are for healing things.
An emotional healing process is NOT catharsis. Catharsis is blowing out, releasing the energy of feelings and emotions, so that they seems gone, out of our body. Catharsis provides no transformation, simply a release. In no less than one hour, the feelings and emotions will have built up back again in your 5-bodies.
Transforming alchemically emotions in Processes for growing up and healing is 'cathectic' rather than 'cathartic'. Cathexis is the process of containing, recycling, re-aiming, and consciously using Emotional Energies, in comparison with Catharsis, which is the process of expressing, expelling, trying to use up and get rid of supposedly negative, excess, or useless
The instructions for Cathexis are, "Hold the energy in. Do not allow your Gremlin to throw it away. Let the energy circulate around in all 5 of your Bodies. Build the Matrix to run this much energy through your Bodies."
What we have found is that Feelings and Emotions are not design errors from Gaia, but rather are precious resources of energy and information needed for fulfilling your Destiny and delivering the services of your Archetypal Lineage to the Village.
Through Cathectic Processes you can learn Inner Navigating as part Conscious Feelings.
Then your Emotional Energy can be directed towards healing, Building Matrix, Authentic Adulthood Initiations, and Archetypal Transformations.

NOTE: This website is a Bubble in the Bubble Map of the free-to-play massively-multiplayer online-and-offline thoughtware-upgrade matrix-building personal-transformation real-life adventure-game called StartOver.xyz. It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can relocate your point of origin and create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a low drama life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. More interestingly, no one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website. Reading this whole website is worth 1 Matrix Point. Doing any of the experiments earns you additional Matrix Points. Please use Matrix Code CATHEXIS.00 to log your Matrix Point for reading this website on StartOver.xyz. Thank you for playing full out!
