After viewing this episode of Rizzoli and Isles I went to my copy of The King Within, Accessing the King in The Male Psyche, Gillette and Moore, turning to pg. 49, Decoding the Male Psyche, The Archetypes and Brain Structure. It discusses the concept that the right brain (mind) thinks in images and symbols and grasps patterns as whole schema and is the source of our dreams, visions and fantasies. The left of course is more logical and is the source of language. This now is felt to be specific to certain species of people rather than to the whole of society, at least by me. The occipital lobe of the brain re-creates what we see and possibly stores it in stereo in both hemispheres of the brain. What is often thought to be the dissociation of one person into two, is possibly some brains ways of processing images. The sketches in this film apparently reminded me of this section of the book I read quite some time ago, as they depict patterns which concealed the victim’s location. It is clear it was a so called right brain interpretation as was my locating the page in the book. The ice pick in the neck of the victim of course triggered my memories of a dream I had and also something I read about the Duke of Hesse having injured or murdered his mother and some cop show I have seen in the past.
Gillette and Moore go on to say the limbic system is the storehouse for all of our primitive social behaviors. I argue this as it is clear through generations these primitive behaviors get acted out and so by the time a child of the 21st Century is born, these behaviors have been eradicated and evolved. It is the writer who most likely evolves his or her family, preventing acting out and it is an actor who prevents his or her family from becoming contaminated with that which is undesirable. It is the consumption of that which is unhealthy which produces ill health.
They also state the brain is the location of archetypes. I say it is the mind and the mind can be connected to a multitude of personalities through our nomadic behavior, attempts at geographical cures and frequently transient behaviors, as my less than professional research and student skills, has revealed to me on many occasions, including the discovery of the relationship between two images (Possible Scenes of a catastrophic event) done by two different people in two different media and created 442 years apart. One person with a whole brain can gain access to this collective unconsciousness. Some say there is no out there, I say there is and I think I’ve proven it many times. Certainly it was proven by investigators during 9-11. Minds from all across the world responded to that event with some sort of knowledge whether it be writing, drawing or just a sensation. This was depicted in The Rizzoli and Isles Episode, Brown Eyed Girl, when a police officer’s daughter is kidnapped, witnessed by her brother who later draws pictures to help investigators locate his sister. What has not been acted out or removed via oral catharsis would still be active in the mind and unconscious until some connection is made consciously. This I have demonstrated on this blog by recognizing and finding films, art and map locations which I have never seen before but somehow recognize. Here is an example. The episode I Kissed a Girl also reveals some of the source of many gay and lesbian issues I think. In The King Within, pg. 126 (my copy) the authors talk about King as Procreator and discuss “Sculptures on the Temple at Konarak depicting hundreds of Gods and Goddesses in every conceivable sexual position, caressing, licking, sucking, kissing, penetrating and being penetrated”.
Back to Rizzoli and Isles. I was somewhat unhappy about Rizzoli’s hostile attitude (penis envy?) she often projects onto Isles and her mother and sometimes the anger she and Frost inflict on perpetrators and in this film, we discover some of the source. She is dealing with masculine issues and is ordered to attend classes in order to deal with this. The King Within addresses some of these issues in the chapter on Psychotherapy: Attending to the Unconscious, pg. 201 in my copy, also dramatized in Just Cause. Other issues I’ve seen dramatized in this episode have also been addressed in Crimes of Obedience, Kelman and Hamilton. Isles’ father is a murderer well known to law enforcement and until this episode, unknown to Isles. Isles has projected this longing to find her parents onto Rizzoli who sees her father as what he is, a murderer without knowing the whole story, yet dutifully transforms these energies into uncovering the whereabouts of Isles’ parents. Rizzoli is at the vortex of a lot of heat, her birth order sets her up for this, but her skills at sublimating and transforming these energies are what make her a superior officer. The issues affecting Isles are not dealt with in detail due to lack of time, although they have carried it over into several more episodes. Rizzoli breaks all the rules of logical investigative techniques trusting her feminine intuition to guide her judgment. Her more logical side is projected onto Isles who performs forensic investigations on victims. Rizzoli’s skills are also supported by the more logical skills of her partner Frost and her superior Korsak. Sometimes the angst and rage are quite distressing yet it reveals the stresses of being an investigator.
