Automatic writing #theschooloflife #animation #writing

In order to accurately reflect what we truly think we may have to not to agonise about every word, not to go back and correct anything - and instead, just to write down everything that comes into our minds the very moment it does so.

FURTHER READING

“Usually, when we set out to write, sounding coherent and polished are our central priorities. We may think hard before setting anything down, we keep an eye on spelling, we may go back and correct words that feel not entirely right, we may delete a paragraph or two - all in the hope of eventually reaching a point where what we have articulated seems accurately to reflect what we truly think…”

This is not automatic writing. Automatic writing is an occultist technique procured by the writer on first waking up from a deep slumber, aided by an ethereal entity. Look up the definition under William Butler Yeats’ literary ventures into the occult.

Maybe this is seen as simply repurposing the term "automatic writing" but it is confusing.

I guess this is yet another way that this type of "psychology" just replaces and repurposes older belief systems albeit totally focused on the individual alone.

Hocus pocus every time.
