Carrie, who suffers from a bipolar disorder, has the gift of uncanny knowing. She is a “shamanic-like” figure who is able to allow for the disintegration of ego boundaries in the service of a higher aim. The author explores the price of maintaining a protective cloak of “normality” and contends that Carrie’ssacredwound takes her behind her defensive structure, opening her to deep truths and transformative love, while also cracking open her psyche into what the physicist David Bohm describes as theImplicate Order—a fundamental order of reality where space and time are no longer the dominant factors determining the relationship between elements. Also drawing on a personal experience of living in the Eastern Block and a series of dreams of going behind the Iron Curtain, the author explores the disruption to the old personality that occurs when moving beyond barriers or defenses. She asks, “Does living on the ‘frontier of your identity’ mean disassembling the personality as we know it?” pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
