So true. Sometimes I look up into the night sky and try to get my head around the fact that we're tiny little dots living on this planet, which is another tiny little dot in a single galaxy 100,000 light years from one end to the other. And current thinking suggests we're the only example of such organisms that live in this single galaxy. And rather than treat life as rare and precious, we fill our head fat with neuroses and kill one another, either through greed or hatred. FUBAR.
"And so it is - death is indeed a fearful piece of brutality; there is no sense in pretending otherwise. It is brutal not only as a physical event, but far more so psychically: a human being is torn away from us, and what remains is the icy stillness of death."
It was even when he passed. But his lifetime of research and theoretical work did not end with him being empty handed. He did discover a great deal about the psyche that even today - is worth reading about.
I don’t think Jung, or anyone else , can define what Life is. Perhaps he tried to assess its psychological dimensions, or the goals that should be pursued during its presence in our beings, but LIFE itself remains a mystery.
Perhaps the best answer could be ‘ I don’t know’ what life is all about. Anything else is as speculative and as mysterious as it gets.
Stepping outside of the incessant chatter your brain throws up is difficult but not impossible. It's a shame more people don't try it. There are various known techniques to achieve it which, though driven by contrasting ideological layers, at bottom have a lot in common.
The hardest thing in life--The conquest not of time and space
But of ourselves, of our stupidity, and inertia, of our greediness, blindness, self-centeredness, and touchiness
And the difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones
Is the way in which a person uses them

It is relieving that we kind of know and see the answer. Put me in a garden and I don't want to fight.

Hassan,
There is no peace in the world. Gandhi said: “Be the change you want to see in the world”. Do you think he was right? Do we need religions to find peace, or can you find peace outside Holy Books?
you're tapping into something that my soul is screaming. what have we done to ourselves? and for what? lol money? give me a fucking break
If the world were solely populated by normies, you'd be entirely correct.
However, sociopaths will always be with us.

I think out of all the words above: Intolerance is the greatest evil.
Just think: Nowadays you cannot be a politician without rambling on about immigrants.
So sick and tired of this.
Hassan,
“He who does not have……”
Why not She? Why not You, or We, but He?????? use a better pronoun.

~Carl Jung, #MDR #p134
Simple question for me.. what is the difference between Life and Death?
The answer lies in the enigma of consciousness, which CG Jung spent his entire life investigating.
“What is the difference between Life-and Death”?
an “enigma” … that’s a pretty sound answer to me… and should be for Carl Jung too…
It was even when he passed. But his lifetime of research and theoretical work did not end with him being empty handed. He did discover a great deal about the psyche that even today - is worth reading about.
I don’t think Jung, or anyone else , can define what Life is. Perhaps he tried to assess its psychological dimensions, or the goals that should be pursued during its presence in our beings, but LIFE itself remains a mystery.
Perhaps the best answer could be ‘ I don’t know’ what life is all about. Anything else is as speculative and as mysterious as it gets.
This reminds me of how absurd regular people going about their working days appeared to me when I was tripping on LSD.
Such a shift in consciousness allows us to see just how fundamentally silly our regular petty concerns are.
Maybe some sort of psychedelic education should be mandatory at a certain age? Either using LSD, or MDMA. Squeegee that third eye.
Damn, wish I’d written this as it’s precisely how I feel, while oscillating wildly back and forth between feeling overwhelmed and empty.
