Twin Strangers: My Anti-Self and I

By Soror Syrinx

Many know that W.B.Yeats was a poet, but how many are aware of his esoteric writings and his work with the Anti-Self? Yeats tells us that we "...must move in cycles, running the whole gamut of conflicts and reversal, shuttling back and forth between contraries, between subjectivity and objectivity, between will and fate, between chance and choice, between thought and passion." In this book, we will explore his ideas as well as his techniques. We will also take a look at how psychologists view the Anti-Self and compare it to how an occultist or artist might approach it. From there, we'll experiment with letter writing to our Anti-Self to unravel what is either helpful, hidden or defeating in our lives."The other self, the anti-self or the antithetical self, as one may choose to name it, comes but to those who are no longer deceived, whose passion is reality."--Arnica Silentia Lunare. But in truth, there is nothing more terrifying than seeing one's true face and Yeats wrote about the masks people wear and the ordeals that we must inevitably face, because without doing so, we'll never traverse the gulf that divides us from who we and what we are and who and what we think we are. And that might lead to discovering our purpose and how best to create our destiny, though we learn "why there is a deep enmity between a man and his destiny, and why a man loves nothing but his destiny."

Yeats writes: "[You said] You were my opposite. By association with one another we should each become more complete...if I would write a letter to you...and afterwards answer it in your name you would overshadow me in my turn & answer all my doubts..."

Let's see how it works out.
