From the inside, we really didn’t have the clarity to see what we were repressing. The reason the inversion worked was that it didn’t require us to actually know what all was being hidden away. That also makes inversion a fairly risky and high-variance strategy, because we had no idea what the person who came out of that inversion was going to be like, or what they would be willing to do. We just knew that what we were doing wasn’t working, and while you can’t invert stupidity to get intelligence, you can invert your way out of a morality trap you set for yourself. Inverting definitely will not get you all the way to somewhere good though, it just breaks you out of the trap. Once you’re out of the trap, you still have to do the work to reincorporate the parts you have overthrown in a healthy way. Sort of, once you become the shadow, you have to “eat the light” as it were.

That’s pretty ironic, but it fits really well with my own thoughts on my inversion lately. Thank you for responding.
