Episode 9: White Flight, Subjunctive Selves, and The Watchers in the Drawings.

Were my drawings watching them watching me? Listen to this episode to explore a variety of subjects with me, including the subconscious unveiling powers of automatic drawing.

In this podcast episode, I’ll explore the concept of being watched, and intentionally sabotaged by outsiders, and I’d also like to explore how those efforts to hamper one person, can negatively impact the people around them and negatively impact the saboteur.

In one of my most recent posts, I wrote about The teacher and the Comedian. I wrote about some things that happened in my 20s and 30s, and I wrote about some figures that played a sort of a nefarious role in my life at that time. I spoke a little bit about a character called The Comedian from Alan Moore’s The Watchmen.

I was writing about the fact that I dealt with outside forces sabotaging me while I was trying to do my best work. Those outside forces spread rumors around me, saying that I was up to no good, and that I was manipulating and taking advantage of people when in fact I was serving the public genuinely. The rumors were intended to hamper me, or slow me down, or stop me from doing the work under the guise of “trying to protect the public from me”.
