But it seems I do something that is rare.

I am not only in touch with my inner life, but I delight in bringing it into the outer life.

And this is breaking a taboo.

All taboos are based on a distinction such as the distinction between a boy and a girl. In fact the very first question they ask when you pop out of the womb is, "Is it a boy or a girl". So gender is a very basic distinction.

But an even more basic distinction is between the inner and the outer.

For instance, take a glass of water and drink it. Then spit into the glass of water and drink it. And although both glasses and their contents are almost identical, one is delicious and the other is disgusting.

And it is the emotion of disgust that shows us we have broken a taboo.

And we have broken the taboo of mixing the inner with the outer.

And it is this taboo I break to your unconscious disgust.

So I am not so much weird as disgusting.

Yeah you did. It was held two weeks ago. Sorry, guess we forgot to invite you to that meeting.

And of course focusing only on the outer is life denying.

And how interesting that the Outers gather together in one spot, under one banner and one ideology and one father, Jung. Solely for the purpose of keeping the inner repressed.

And what is fascinating is the sheer energy that is needed to keep the inner repressed.

We must leap from topic to topic in the never ending hope of evading our inner life.

But it comes at a cost - we are estranged from ourselves - we are strangers to ourselves and strangers to each other.

In fact we are simply strange.

But the inner of each of us is crying out for recognition and contact. But we are simply unable to reach out and hold hands.

So instead of holding hands we have devised a mechanical system of four letters to give us a kind of surrogate contact.

But the inner life withers in each of us and we become more fearful until we become so paranoid, we reach for a gun.

We thought we could turn ourselves into mechanical robots with four magic letters, but we have only succeeded in turning ourselves into strangers.

And finally we become so strange we become paranoid.

And anyone who dips into the delights of the inner life is weird and disgusting and must be removed for the good of all.

Our dear Peguy is indeed the spokesman for the repressed.

Peguy is immensely valuable in his nakedness.

And it's true, that like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before the Fall, he is innocent of his nakedness.

And it's his innocence that makes him the perfect mirror for the rest of us.

We can hold him up and see what we are like inside.

We are him, and he is us.

He is our deep inner self irrupting onto the surface.

And we repress him only at our peril.

So I suggest we encourage him, as it is in his hatred and insults that we glimpse our own repressed selves.

If there is one person we can't do without, if there is one person who is essential, it is Peguy.

And my hero is Dennis Wier.

He is truly weird. In fact in his youth he was called Wier the Weirdo.

You can find him on The Trance Institute
