Oral-Anal Circuit Interaction
A great grid created also by Leary helps us understand the relations between this two circuits, the interpersonal grid, that gives us 4 types of personality, friendly strength, hostile strenght, friendly weakness and hostile weakness, in short, I’m OK / You’re OK, I’m not OK / You’re OK, I’m OK / You’re not OK and I’m not OK / You’re not OK. Give this last guy a little semantic ability and a joint and he’ll come up with the weirdest conspiracies. Give the first guy the same thing and you get something like this course. The dialect between these two circuits are the basic tactics of evolution in contemporary humanoids. In analyzing this strategy, one can realize the origin of the monogamous heterosexual family structure, where the mother secures the child’s body with food while the father empowers it within the pack, teaching the infant to defend itself and the group, to express itself and develop it’s abilities and confidence. It’s all a building process, a far out, never ending, ever expanding, living-surviving-dying continuous cycle and these two circuits probably make your foundation in this physical realm.
