The river is a sacred vessel of the unconscious—a living current where the personal mind dissolves into the vast collective psyche. Here, writing becomes an act of communion with the archetypal flow, where thoughts, images, and memories emerge spontaneously, unedited and unclaimed.

Drawing from Jungian psychology, this practice embraces the river as a symbol of the collective unconscious—a deep, shared reservoir of human experience and knowledge that transcends the ego. When I write in this space, I step beyond the conscious self, allowing words to surface as messages from this greater whole.

Each fragment offered is like a drop in the eternal stream of universal wisdom, joining countless others to create a living body of consciousness. This body is shapeless, fluid AND infinite—where individual authorship dissolves into a shared creative source.

What is written here is not mine, or yours alone; it flows through us. By surrendering to this current, we participate in a sacred ritual of ego death and rebirth, opening to the deep, unnamable forces that bind us all.

Over time, everything that is submitted into the river, unedited fragments will take form—manifesting as film, poetry, and artworks—not as products of my own singular creation, but as echoes of the collective made visible.

In this river, we are both witness and vessel, connected to the unconscious of all human experiences.
