@Noah thomas The reason I can think of is that dreams are very closely related to the unconscious. And so it says something about you. I think it wouldn’t be desireable to give your dreams to just anyone who will be able to interpret them, as these are very personal things. So it’s like giving away the contents of your mind, laid bare. So I guess it’s a psychonude

[@firstbornjordan]

@Ryan Calkins Except that if he says, "We are the origin of all coming evil", then you are talking about evolving while is a state of corruption, and that leads to destruction of the human race, which is where we are headed, until and unless the problem of evil is addressed. And it is, in the cross of Christ. Jesus said: "Repent, or perish." He said that twice within the space of three verses of Scripture. If Jesus repeated something, he meant to draw particular attention to what He was saying. (Luke 13:3, and Luke 13:5)

I've spent countless hours listening to Alan Watts and Aldus Huxley, and I'll certainly add any more Jung I can find. I hope more people continue to learn and hear from these incredible people, in their own words, those who changed the course of human history for the better.

Wow, WHAT was JUNG hiding from us? Or WHAT were Freud and Jung hiding from us, and particularly and especially WHY! If an individual hides something, or doesn’t want to reveal anything, that something or anything is usually the truth. Carl Jung, Freud and all the Psychiatric Scientists are all eager to reveal the what the others have in the inside, but when it comes to them, they become slippery like a fish, and prefer to change issue.

[@howlinthewilderness]

Alan Watts on meeting Jung in 1958: I was enormously impressed with a man who was obviously very great, but at the same time, with whom everyone could be at ease. Jung managed to have wisdom and sanctity in such a way that when other people came into his presence they didn’t feel judged. They felt enhanced encouraged and invited to share in a common life. And it was a sort of twinkle in Jungs eye. It gave me the impression that he knew himself to be just as much a villain as everybody else. Jung had a hintergedanken in the back of his mind. It showed in a twinkle in his eye. He knew himself, knew the “element of irreducible rascality” in himself, strongly and clearly and lovingly that he would never project the devil in himself upon somebody else, upon the scapegoat. This made Jung an integrated character, thoroughly with himself. Having seen and accepted his own nature, he had a kind of unity and absence of conflict within his own character. He was the sort of man who could feel anxious and afraid and guilty without being ashamed of feeling this way. In other words, he understood that an integrated person wasn’t someone who had eliminated feelings of guilt or anxiety from his life, who is fearless and wooden and a kind of sage of stone. He is a person who feels all these things but has no recrimination against himself for feeling them. Poorly transcribed by me from kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKPCY2OreruCn6c

How distant can a cousin be. What we talkin here?

[@JessiMoonSix]

@@ahtauwylye1340 lol, it’s really not super impressive, we share common grandparents, and we are separated by 7 generations. We are 11th cousins, I thought to myself, “well they say everyone is your 16th cousin, so how likely are you to be 11th cousins with someone?” This is what I found: “it is 99.9999% likely from these numbers that any given person is at least a 16th cousin. And 97.2% likely that they are a 15th cousin -- but only 1.4% likely that they are an 11th cousin.” So it ended up being cooler than I thought! As far as I know, genealogy websites don’t go past 15 generations out. Nonetheless it was a cool discovery for me to learn we had common grandparents in the line
