Dialogue with Nick ("Ascension") at the start of his Saturn Return, on being 27, alone and jobless, on the psychic umbilical chord, the morphogenetic field of family life, getting pulled in by the chord in order to cut it at the root, the fear of free-falling, the attraction of the familiar, becoming upright, the individuation process, nature and nurture, clearing away the clutter of a bogus upbringing, returning the product (of a distorted psyche) to the seller, interlocking patterns, getting triggered as the means to accelerate individuation, turning family members into allies by allowing them to be adversaries, the unspoken agreement of personal investment, personal love leading to violence, entanglement vs. enmeshment, alchemical union and alchemical separation, JDR, don Juan Matus, and the need for a real father figure, the deeper connection of the impersonal, JK's return trip to the UK, male-bonding and the doing of learning to be.
