Summary
In a C4 trituration of a chicken feather the participants experienced a state of psychological
blindness and a refusal to be cognisant of their motivations. Aimless activity, superficial
talk, meaningless social interaction were used to hide fears and insecurity. A desire
to belong to a group and to conform helped to cover up fears of starvation and of
survival. Even the sense of apparent freedom afforded by New Age ideologies ended
up in boredom and resignation, because no transformation of unconscious fears had
occurred. “Chicken” might be a remedy for people who live their lives unconsciously
and avoid confrontation with their fears through conforming to mainstream societal
norms.
