306 Mysteries from the Realm of Chaos
Despite the somewhat "spiritual" title, this course is quite down to earth. In it, we will look at different states of pathology in the psyche and their origin in the World of Chaos. We will also learn how each of these states is rectified by a particular aspect of the World of Rectification. We will also learn why these states are becoming more common in our generation, and how to properly cope with them.
Some of the topics discussed are: origins of the World of Chaos and how it affects us; types of chaos – sustainable and unsustainable; shattering and enclothing in life and in the psyche; psychological balance and homeostasis through run and return.
