Respectfully Quoted Curious Me

BBM
UBM ITA. What madness and so tragic what happened to Caylee. Perfectly put, Curious Me.
What is madness? Denial of self? I have read a bit of Jung and I understand to a small degree(to speak of it in any kind of coherent intelligent manner I am unable)the idea of archetypes. I also like to study myths(it is the mythic aspect to this painting that I wish to discuss and a part of that overlaps into religion. I do not mean to be speaking religiously.)
Your post sparked me to realize something I had been thinking: where does Casey think Caylee is? In her letters to Cookie in jail ICA states she knows Caylee is in heaven with God. If any part of Casey knows what she did to Caylee then she has to know Caylee knows. And God knows. I think Casey thinks she can fool God?
The Anthonys claim Christianity as their belief system. When George speaks to Casey about the young man the Anthonys invited in both Casey and George speak of scripture. George and Cindy have made it public that they have been "born again." And Cindy has stated in her letters that God has spoken to her. Casey has wrote of her feelings that God is listening to her and has her back. And that is why I say ICA is mad and not insane. She is aware enough to try and cover her tracks. That is an ego, not mental illness as we would define it by saying a person with a normally functioning conscience can be "insane."
All 'faith' aside, on a human level-where does Casey think Caylee is? Or does she think she "is" at all? As you asked: does she think she can contact her? I wish a professional could tell me: what does Casey believe? Does she believe her own lies? I have done things that gave me mighty regret and made me feel so guilty that it haunted me. You are able to push it out of your mind for a while but in my experience your conscience nags at you and you always know the truth. I cannot lie to myself.
It is my conscience that caused me to not be able to lie to myself. I would think that ICA had (never had or had gotten rid of?)her conscience before she was able to kill Caylee. If Caylee was killed with malice and forethought, then ICA had to have (shut off?)her conscience before hand. We can't really get into another person's head, I don't know if my conscience is someone else's conscience?
This is the 31 days. Casey was euphoric. She got a tattoo, a tattoo to celebrate her beautiful life. ICA, imo attempts to fix away that image in her letters by using the idea that she is glad that Caylee is safe and because of what happened to Caylee, she has a special mission from God to go on after she is found not guilty. See, it is okay to be happy about what happened to Caylee, that is why-even though she was missing I could be happy because if I can be this happy and so much a part of God's good plan after I knew Caylee was murdered- then you can see how I could party when I just thought she was with my good friend of several years, Zanny.
Madness. Yes. Because we know you don't have to believe in a higher power to not kill people. That is something that obviously occurs on a individual level.
Our conscience is our guide and ICA had to be running on, is still running on-pure ego. The archetype/myth/mythical personification of the ego is narcissist. We all know the myth, I am sure: but the myth served the purpose(in the ancient world)to explain different aspects of being human. I think the ancients had already recognized this behavior in some human beings.
I have made no sense, but what ICA did makes no sense because the state of having lost your conscience is pure ego. Madness. People have said that is the key here, we are trying to make sense of something that has no sense. (I am glad we are trying though! :blowkiss: :websleuther: )
Some kind of ego that thinks sometimes somehow by killing a person you are taking their power? That Caylee had taken something from Casey by being born(metaphorically and in reality being the attention/material goods), and that Casey could get that back by "taking back" Caylee('s life). The ultimate in ego, me thinking. If I get rid of you, then everything will be for me because I am the only thing that exists, or that matters.
