It took me a while to figure out what is meant by “many from one and one from many”

The Christian subordinates himself to the superior divine person in expectation of his grace, but the oriental knows that redemption depends on the work he does on himself. CW 13 Jung

At 53, if I awake in the middle of the night, I only wait a few minutes before jumping into a hot shower, in the dark, for a few minutes. It almost always works to put me right back to sleep.

i was just thinking that the results always tell me the wisest way to go about relationships.

@theaeuryphaessa.bsky.social‬ finally using i ching, and I had to say WOW!! The coins (simpler and more discreet than stalks) are never wrong!! What spurred me to dive in was Jung and others, including Pauli, (and you!) and synchronicity. I now clearly see the multi-layered game of life. 🤩🤪

this is the stuff that should be taught in school.

it would certainly be a strange twist in human history since that is how it was 500 years ago!! only now we've collectively chosen to be essentially illiterate

i'm there, and it's bliss. 😊

SpaceX is a terrible spaceship company but an amazing fireworks company

i think this could be taken a step further: with all the hubbub in the US about a possible tiktok ban, is arguable that society's addiction to social media is another symptom of this shallowness and disregard for meaning.

there is no mind-body problem. there is only one unity. problem solved.

pollan's words, and encouragement of a friend, persuaded me to do it. as a younger person i was too scared to risk losing control. i am glad i waited. i feel i was spiritually prepared in my 40s to integrate into my life what i experienced. i doubt i'd have gotten much out of it in my youth.

this book also opened my eyes to another way of tapping into the unknown. this discovery has taken me on a road i never thought i'd travel, and it's been exciting, liberating, and full of new knowledge! in fact, the most meaningful spiritual experience i ever had occurred after i "took the plunge"

the more i understand about my Self, the more i understand that it's all a balancing act. the caduceus, always circling the center.

The supreme danger which threatens individuals as well as whole nations is a psychic danger. Reason has proved itself completely powerless, precisely because its arguments have an effect only on the conscious mind and not on the unconscious. The greatest danger of all comes from the masses, in whom the effects of the unconscious pile up cumulatively and the reasonableness of the conscious mind is stifled...it is therefore in the highest degree desirable that a knowledge of psychology should spread so that men can understand the source of the supreme dangers that threaten them. Not by arming to the teeth, each for itself, can the nations defend themselves in the long run from the frightful catastrophes of modern war. The heaping up of arms is itself a call to war. Rather they must recognize those psychic conditions under which the unconscious bursts the dykes of consciousness and overwhelms it. Carl Jung, The Symbolic Life, Collected Works 18

i see the issue: the replies of those i added to the list are showing up. how do i prevent that?

why are those i haven't added to my lists suddenly showing up there, @bluesky? one of the best features about this app was the ability to curate lists. if those i don't want on a list are now showing up in those lists, that greatness has been destroyed.

"who" not eric

i'm thisclose to blocking the ones i follow eric do this. AI "art" is ugly for so many reasons

SAME!! i use my iphone to record my dreams, which has been a very enlightening experience! I have to repeatedly remind myself that dreams that seem to be inconsequential are actually upon awakening often very profound and meaningful!

nawlins is by far the sexiest. everyone knows this.

i think they have existed in the past and there might be a few alive right now, but i don't know how to find them. they probably don't want to be found!!

zero. i'd love to meet one though!!

those who value externally imposed law and rules over internally held values need to "let go" periodically. others, those who are willing to bear the burden and enjoy the glories of existential choice and responsibility have no need for a letting go. every day is freedom.

wishing and hoping for continued growth and bliss for everyone in 2025!! 😇🥳

In Jung and the Lost Gospels, Stephan Hoeller wrote: We do not possess any longer the purity of the ancient saints; we are, as it were, much closer to the darkness." Who can argue that our youth today aren't early exposed to the darkest of darknesses?

when young, I thought nonreligious science believers had better view on reality. Now, no more religious than I ever was, & having read many brilliant scientists, philosophers, science doesn't come near reality. Religion is the only way, for now, we can grasp concepts science can't (more in alt text)
