Mental was a compliment. Do tell us your fruitcake ideas!...aint nothing wrong with being mental, you should hear my interpretations of polynesian oral traditions and interactions with other cultures from pre history. It makes the black atlantic look positively shallow
The thing that gets me about ancient or "primitive" cultures is how different the rhythm is, like the druids allegedly reading the trees. So much of that intuitive sense of nature gets lost in Christianity because it becomes abstracted to agrarian symbolism, i.e. Christ and the bread (flesh of the land) and fishes (flesh of the sea). In fact thats interesting because doesn't he pull them out of a sack/bag? Which would represent the unconscious in one sense. Hmmm...
Yes, I too have seen the diagrams and the way it overlays with the Mayan spaceman art. Haha.
Auspicious numbers all around.
Nope, nothing quite that far gone. She identified with Jungs big-picture ideas and that this was what most people needed, but said that reading a bit of Jung was better than reading the Bible... which to me represents a gross misunderstanding of Jung's ideas - he wrote about the unconscious from a historical/religious perspective and in his autobiography writes what he called his "personal myth", but never created a collective (unconscious) myth.
I agree though - it is interesting to see where the true believers are at. I can't really say I'm any less crazy than they are. Well, maybe marginally so on occasion. I'm not always sleepwalking, I almost know that for sure!
