Taming The Persona
We have previously explained that our sentiments and experiences manifest themselves in the structure of hierarchical organizations of characters in the imaginative realm. These sets then get evinced in their common core, what we know as "The Persona" of the group. This character, usually, is the most prolific when it comes to bestowing wisdom and formulating stories.
As an author, it is of the utmost significance to address such a character with extreme diligence. The rationale behind that is this: Usually, our consciousness tends to avoid past experiences and emotions for purposes that are still ambiguous for me. Such entities are tricky and hard to handle. They would always come around your perception in an attempt of avoiding your processing unit. Ideally, they tend to be thrown into the abyss, or back into the state of psychological non-existence. If these articles behave this way, then normally, their display, or the "Persona", would be very hard to tame, let alone converse with. They hold our most mysterious enigmas, and usually, they fundamentally define who we are.
The ultimate goal of approaching a persona is to convert it into a character that behaves under certain preassumed restraints in the desired realm. This warrants further intercommunication with other entities, which produces even a greater number of stories to be shared. Your conscious interactions with a tamed Persona implants the seeds of many stories in your literal mind, allowing you to lucidly reconstruct experiences in form of attractive writings.
Now, after realizing that, it would be useful to comprehend how to tame a persona. The only two main elements to do that are patience and accepting one's self.
An author who lacks perseverance would never be capable of approaching a resolute character. And one who denies one's self would never embrace his/her inner psychological displays, creating a loop of endless conflict between these societies without having the opportunity to blend in.
After having these components, the way to favorably tame personas is to tentatively trick them into accepting you as a part of their whole existence. The aim of doing that is to learn the underlying governing dynamics and then establishing psychological dominance, showing the character that they are merely a reflection of part of your "self" ( In a Jungian sense). To convince them of that, the author must successfully grasp the main significant attribute of a character and temporarily adopt it. This, my dear reader, allows you to connect with the character, making them believe that you are a reflection of them, while in reality, they are a reflection of you.
In the next post, I will hopefully give an example of how I usually corner characters. This will be demonstrated with an example of a previous figure: John The Sufferer.
