⚪️ #BTS_BE ⚫️ EXPLAINED BY PSYCHOLOGY & PHILOSOPHY

Even tho it’s too early to make theories about it, I think @BTS_twt may got inspired by #Plato’s “Chariot Allegory” which represents the human #Soul, Mind and Body, represented by 2 horses: a Black one (B) and a White (Ш) one:
(⚪️ This is an extended thread I started a few months ago talking about this but since I’ve seen so many connections with it already I decided to explain the whole thing ⚫️ #BTS_BE) #BTS https://twitter.com/nwinter_bear/status/1292931825053171714
In the #Phaedrus 📕, #Plato shares the Allegory of the Chariot to explain the tripartite nature of the human #SOUL or Psyche 🧠

He does this in the dialogue through the character of #Socrates, who uses it in a discussion of the merit of #Love as "divine madness".
Describes a circuit which souls make as they follow the Gods in the path of enlightenment. Those few souls which are fully enlightened are able to see the world of the forms in all its glory. Some souls have difficulty controlling the ⚫️ horse, even with the help of the ⚪️ horse.
These concepts are already familiar since @BTS_twt already talked about them on #MAP_OF_THE_SOUL era. The “circuit” is another way to say the “Hero’s Journey” 😊

(📝 You can find a thread on my pinned tweet explaining these concepts and many others)
That “path of enlightenment” ( #Plato) is another way to say “Individuation” (Carl #Jung).

The charioteer’s destination? The ridge of heaven. In other words: complete aknowledgement of the #Psyche 🧠 aka the #SELF aka we suceded in the #Hero’s Journey.
The chariot is pulled by 2 winged horses, one mortal (Unconscious) and the other immortal (Conscious).

In other words, these two horses also represent: #Feelings (or spirit) ⚪️ and #Desires (or appetite) ⚫️ And the Reason (the #SELF) is the charioteer.
Why do I think this could be a little explanation about why they chose the colors black ⚫️ and white ⚪️ for #BTS_BE?

Long story short, they’re making references once again to the #SELF 💜, the Human Soul, the Psyche. Why? How? Let me explain it:
(Thanks to @tubangtutan for this)

First we have “BE”. Some of you asked me if the B meant “Black” but I didn’t know since we also got to the conclusion that if “B” ⚫️ means “Black”...then “E”? ⚪️ 🤷🏼‍♀️

But we can answer that question with the Korean alphabet! 😁
Long story short:

B ➡️ Black ⚫️

E ➡️ in Korean is Ш which looks like a “W”, so E ➡️ Шhite ⚪️

See also how they’re both connected. They’re part of each other. They complete each other. Like the Yin and Yang ⚫️⚪️ I talked about a few months ago too.
We can also see our #SELF here (Jin) as the Charioteer! (Thanks to @PrincessVinii for this one too. I have the smartest moots) 💜

And this could explain why #Jin is losing his memories in #TheNotes and the BU. Because of the problems he has controlling the ⚫️ Horse ( #SHADOW):
📕 #Plato said: “Some souls have difficulty controlling the ⚫️ horse. They may bob up into the world of the forms, but at other times enlightenment is hidden from them. If overcome by the black horse or #forgetfulness, the soul loses its #wings and is pulled down to earth”.
He also said “The #charioteer joins a procession of gods, led by #Zeus, on this trip into the heavens. Unlike human souls, the gods have 2 immortal horses to pull their chariots and are able to easily soar above. Mortals, on the other hand, have a much more turbulent ride.”
On that performance, #Jin could be representing the Charioteer. We have the ⚪️ Horse (Feelings, Spirit) and maybe the dancers, since their outfits are Black, they could be representing the ⚫️ Horse (since it seems like Jin is trying to control them) 😊 #BTS_BE
I also talked about colors before and how @BTS_twt use them. How colors could represent the #SELF and its archetypes (Jin and the members in the BU and #TheNotes)

But we also see that in #BTS_BE. #Jungkook said that he chose the colors 🔵 and 🔴 for his earphones ‘cause if you mix them you get 🟣 The same thing happens here.

If you mix ⚫️ and ⚪️ you get Grey.
So since this “new normality” changed our daily lives I think they decided to keep going with this “concept” but not including this one on the “Map of The Soul” “era”.

That’s why they used #Philosophy and not #Psychology this time 😊 #BTS_BE https://twitter.com/nwinter_bear/status/1310299811002961921
If we relate this to the BU, the thing about the ⚪️ and the ⚫️ Horses is that:

“As the charioteer, he must have vision and purpose (he must know where he is going) and he must understand the nature and desires of his 2 horses if he wishes to properly harness their energies”
That’s why #Jin realized that he MUST KNOW the reason why his friends are suffering. Not solving all their problems but finding the REASON WHY they have those problems. The real cause of their situation 😊 #TheNotes2
And that’s the end of this thread. If I find that ⚪️ #BTS_BE ⚫️has more things related to this I’ll try to update this one. #BTS

Thanks for reading! And remember:
I’ve just realized I got confused. The Ш it’s not Korean lol 🤡 (I don’t know Korean and since I saw a lot of ARMYs making references to the Korean alphabet I got confused).

But yeah, the B still stands for Black ⚫️ and the E for White ⚪️ My bad 🙏🏼 https://twitter.com/nwinter_bear/status/1310562050234552321
Update: WAIT...that’s why we see #Jin (the #SELF) with a ⚪️ Cat and a ⚫️ Cat? #BTS_Universe_Story #TheNotes #TheNotes2
